OT- The Two Towers Spoiler

The new Harry Potter movie is really enjoyable. As a fan of the books, my only criticism was that the story focused almost exclusively on the "Chamber of Secrets" as opposed to mixing in the life as a student..even though it's a student of magic. So you see less of the Harry and the main characters as students learning how to work (and work with) magic, and more seems to show them as already capable. Overall, the tone of this movie is much darker than I remember the book.

As for the books being too child-like, I would say that it's a story about children FOR children. I think that's part of why I found them such a pleasure to read.

I agree, Harry Potter is a hack. I haven't seen any of the movies, or read any of the books. But it looks and sounds like a stupid movie. (No offense to anyone that likes it.)

Star Trek Nemesis, I absolutly can't wait for this one. It is going to be a awesome movie. I've been a Star Trek fan my whole life and don't plan on stopping anytime soon. Only bad part that I see from the previews is it looks like they trash the Enterprise.

I guess it has to happen sometime...

LOTR, the books are alot better but the movies is still friggin sweet. Looking forward to see TTT in a couple weeks.

Yes, but it is enjoyable stupidity.

It's going to be a busy movie season for me with Nemesis starting Dec. 13 and Two Towers Dec. 18. Anyone see the making of Ring movies on TV Last night? Pretty cool tidbits on the cast and stuff.

December is a big movie month this year isn't it? I'm looking forward to seeing the Two Towers and Nemesis for sure, and maybe Catch Me If You Can cause I like Tom Hanks.

No offense taken by me. Like Harry Potter is the ONLY thing about which I've ever been called "stupid" or my tastes lacking.

I like the look of Nemesis, and as that's my birthday, I hope to see it at some point around then. And naturally, I'm all about getting to see Two Towers on opening day. Should be able to avoid some of work that day to go see it.

I think they've trashed the Enterprise so often in the Star Trek movies it's getting ridiculous.

There's another action movie coming out in December, I think, that looks big on the imagery, gratuitous explosions, violence and mayhem. My kind of movie.
