Thanksgiving and Fire
Another Thanksgiving has come and gone. We ate at our neighbors who had invited us and 2 other families to eat with them. That was great. We don't really do much with our neighbors, so it was nice to interact with them. It tends to be tough because of the generation gap. Most of our neighbors have children our age so most social interactions are awkward. At least we didn't get seated at the kiddie table :) Although the football on really sucked. The Dallas-Denver game was horrid. Neither team deserved to win, and the game just would not end. It was painful.Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire:
Goblet of Fire. Warp 3. Engage! So we did get to see the next harry potter movie. It was great, although a bit rushed. Tthe plot line seemed a wee bit undersampled. I suppose it was necessary to get a massive book like that into a reasonable lengthed movie. But frankly, I'd have been fine with a really long movie if it could get through the whole book without feeling so rushed. The next two books are even longer. The sucky thing is that it's not like they could break each one into two movies, unless they released both of them at the same time and didn't try to come up with a hollywood style ending for the first movie.

You are insane!! Goblet of Fire was the best movie yet, I thought! I've already seen it twice.
For shame.
No no, I thought the movie was great! Just that condensing a 700 page book into a 2.5 hour movie requires you to cut out a lot of the little subplots and stuff. There's just no helping it. I think it's my 2nd favorite of the 4.
For those of us who don't read, I thought it was sampled pretty well, fwiw.
