Harry Potter and the $200 million budget

New Harry Potter movie, not bad. Not as good as the last one (let alone Cuaron's pwning of the franchise). I have decided the movies are better than the books. The movies cut out all the filler (i.e. Quidditch) and make Harry's story more epic. This is the same way I felt about Lord of the Rings.
Anyway, noticed a few things changed in the latest film:
  • You see a lot more of the dementors. I preferred them hidden in their cloaks, still are one of the coolest things in the series.
  • In the last one, when Sirius communicated through the fireplace his face showed up in the embers not the flame. Were they running over budget in this one?
  • Thankfully, Snape got more than one scene in this movie. It would be interesting to see how the characters fare in each film. Ron and Hermionne got totally shafted as did Maggie Smith.

And finally, Two and a Half Men, WTF Emmys? Your lucky you let A.D. win once or else your whole enterprise would be a complete joke.

I can't even watch ten seconds of Two and a Half Men without getting embarrassed for Charlie Sheen. Not to mention television as a whole.
