I saw the trailer on tv today

It looks so fucking awesome

I felt kind of let down by the last one, but this one looks fucking wicked.

Nov 26th

Goon movie outing! Who's keen?

saw the trailer at the start of charlie and the chocolate factory...looked brilliant...

YAY lets all embrace the spirit of the internet and dress up as our favourite harry characters! that will be so awesome!!!!!!!!! OMGZ!!!!!!1111oneone

/sarcasm.

i'm going to watch it in australia. that is all.

Isn't it November 24th? At any rate, the premiere here is on the 19th and I plan on going. Somehow. Fuck that's tragic. But i swear I'll beat up a five year old for a ticket.

Why would adults like us want to watch some children's film or read those books for that matter? That's one movie franchise I won't go to see.

are u fucking serious? did u seem to miss the sarcasm bit at the bottom? did u have a part of your brain removed?

Harry Potter is remarkably enjoyable, whether it is the movies or the books. If you can't get out of your "OH SHIT IM SUCH A SERIOUS ADULT" mindset, then I doubt you're going to find much enjoyment in life.

Because not everyone is as stuck up and boring as you.

The French, Templar included, will be going for Clemence Posey, so that's one extra demographic sewn up.

Oh yer those foreign chicks better be uber seksy cause the book talked them up something chronic and now theyre in the movie yay!

I am fucking amped for this, going to see it on wednesday 23rd at 11.59pm :clap:

Im there

hey dont diss dress-up nerds, I would have done that for the Ep3 premier had I actually gotten a ticket

First screening?

Then why say that? You knew what this thread was about, so why shit on it? Seriously man fucking learn to get better at posting Im losing patience.

I'd be up for this. Never seen one of these films in the cinema before (except for the second one which doesn't count because it sucked).

Yeah I really want to see it. Can we goto a late showing coz I dont finish work till 5.30

Late showing on friday/sat is all good, providing the train goes near it (should really get onto getting my license...)

I dont read the books or see the films but I'm keen for goon culture. Late night? sure.

i am going to the 11.59pm showing wed 23rd november :clap:

You have to admit that the actor who plays harry is a raging gimp. I'd be tempted to crush his face if I ever met him.

Once the time/place is sorted post it. Although I have no interest in the movie I'll go anyway out of extreme boredom... I've read the first book so that should help somewhat.

Good on you, oob. I've read the first book only and seen all the movies to date, so I consider myself fairly up with the play (I'll read a few more of the novels before the screening).

Emma Watson is jailbait :(

Speaking of jailbait, last night I found out this girl who I thought was pretty mint is 15 and likes me. I hope they let me post here from prison.

So who's keen to see this Thursday after next after dinner time?

Okay. First of all. I don't knwo how many times I have to say this, but the Harry Potter books aren't really about the children anymore. I guess they sort of were at the start, but not really now. It's because Rowling writes from Harry's perspective. And he's 17 now in the books. It's not innocent, and it doesn't have to be. Rowling has explicitily explained that she doesn't write for children. She writes for herself. Her books are not written in black and white - like most children's novels - they have many mysterious shades of grey - a concept that 5 year olds find very hard to grasp. "But isn't he a baddie if he killed that man, Daddy?" Umm...

Most of the films - or at least the first two - that have been adapted from the books were done so by Disney directors. Maybe this is because in the first couple of the series Harry is only 10/11 yrs old. Anyway, in the third film, Alfonso Cuaron (director of Y Tu Mama Tambien) took over as director and the film/storyline/characters became a lot more 3 dimensional. Well, as 3 dimensional as they can be when you have actors such as Emma Watson and Daniel Radcliffe to deal with on a daily basis. Rupert Grint is pretty good, though.

Anyway, in this fourth film, most parents have been advised that this is a fuckload darker than anything else - preodminantly due to seeing characters being killed off first hand and Voldemort rising/torturing/killing etc. It's far more sinister.

Shit. Okay, yes, you all know now that I'm a gayballs about Harry Potter but I don't give a shit. Samf, you should maybe try reading the series starting at perhaps the third in the series. The first two are too crap, and Rowling repeats the main/important pieces of information at the start of it anyway. GOF is where the series really begins to take off. It's the turning point of the whole series. And far off from being a shitload of childish bollocks, thanks very much Hitler.

I'm keen to come along, but it depends heavily on how late 'after dinner'. On a Thursday the last train out west is about 8:20. Early in the evening (5-5:45ish) is alright, but any later and I will be pushing it to make that train, especially if its a long movie. Friday would be *much* better, as I have the option of staying in town until midnight!

Harry Potter may not be classed as the greatest literature in the whole world, but its pretty enjoyable, and thats all that really matters..

I can see it at anytime next Thursday, but Friday I don't finish work until at least 6:30. Also, which cinema? Because it's relatively easy for me to get into twon (Queen St), but St Lukes is a pain in the ass.

Yea Thursday is better for me too, Fri Im working 6-9

I dont mind either town or st lukes, if its in town after 6 would be good so I can get free parking.

St lukes would be better for me, I could prob drop people at westgate if need be

Thursday is good for me. I'd perfer town because I don't know where St Lukes is but I can find it if I need to.

This is thursday of next week I take it? (can't be bothered going back through the thread).

i can make next thursday, but not fri sat or sun due to work. please dont go without me!

Fucks sake, am I the only person who can't make Thursday :( GOD DAMN TRANSPORT PROBLEMS!

Yes. Movie is released Wed 23rd

I can give you lift home dude. (I assume that's the transport problem).

Fucking cheers man, that would be primo. If you want gas money or anything give me a yell and I can hook you up.

I will be in town most likely due to work on Thursday, so any time after 5ish is good (though I can leave early if need be, work is flexible as).

I think the books have all been consistent in their maturity level. It's a 'PG' series. I don't think they started out childish either. Consider this:

Yeah I know, you said 'sort of' not out right childish, so I want to goad the resident Harry Potter nerd into a debate. Sue me.


OK so we have a split between people that want Thursday and those that want Friday.

My vote is for Queen St, either day. Preferably Thursday as I like to keep Friday free for things less nerdy.

Ok so we have Matt, Malky, Steveo and myself coming in from outwest in which case St Lukes would be best (oh wait scratch that Malky is already in town)

ok forget I mentioned the above

I think the times in bold are the only ones that will work for everyone

Either day is fine by me, sometime in the late afternoon/evening.

Seems everyone can make Thursday, so I vote for that at Queen Street.
