UGH

Why is there so much WANK in the fandom about the movies?

Seriously, everyone, stop wanking.

It is a MOVIE. No, every single tiny detail is not going to be the same as the book.

Emma Watson looks better in pink. Does it really matter? It's not as though Hermione Granger has expressed a deep seated hate of the colour pink.

Some things just don't work visually. What are people bitching about Mad-Eye for? What's wrong with him? Is it because he has the eye strapped in? Let me point something out. Giving him a freaky, spinny eye that WASN'T held in by something would be PHYSICALLY IMPOSSIBLE, in a non magic world. Which is the one we live in. Yes, I know that comes as a newsflash to some people.

The movies are not perfect, visual representations of canon. They are merely one person's interpretation of what is important, and what is not. The same peole who bitch about what is being left out of the movies would probabbly bitch if those scenes were left in, because they would be boring, visually.

If you want every detail of a film to be like the book, don't go and see the film. You'll only be disappointed.

I remember that wank about the pink. Who the hell cares! It wasn't Hollywoodised or anything! It was a regular freaking jacket! God. Rowling doesn't do colours that often anyway.

At least it's not as bad as the HBP wank... Ugh.

There's now wank about the fact that her dress is pink instead of blue. I really don't see what difference it makes. The most annoying thing is that these people are going to go and see the movie anyway, and probably bitch even more when they get back.

*sigh*

Oh, for crying out loud! I couldn't even remember what colour it was in the book when you mentioned it! Pink probably does suit her better than blue, anyway. I know! I wish they'd all just exercixe the free will given to them AND NO GO SEE THE MOVIE AND SHUT THE HELL UP!

Gah... Capslock of doom.

CAPSLOCK OF DOOM is an appropriate response to WANK OF DOOM

*nods sagely*

OMGZ there are sane people in this fandom

*clings to*

Let's make a human body raft to float through the sea of wankiness, and pull all the other sane people on board.

Hi! It's [livejournal.com profile] tarie's 24 Hours of LJ Friending Bravado so I hope you don't mind me friending you.

I've read a couple of your fics recently and really liked them, though shamefully I haven't commented yet. I promise to make amends for that in the near future and I look forward to reading more of your work :)
