"My low self esteem is at an all time high" - Sam Witwicke

Ya know, there are a few perks to working at an internship at a big company (whose name I am not mentioning in case this isn't something they want splashed across the internet). And one of those perks is getting to see movie previews the night before they are supposed to come out. With free popcorn and soda. Loves it.
The first free movie I got to see was Transformers: Rise of the Fallen. I was eagerly awaiting this movie because I loved the first one. I am sad to report it did not live up to my high expectations. Good points: I could really relate to the "going off to college" scenes in the beginning (except my mom was not that emotional, nor did she get high on brownies at my new college, nor did she and my dad go on a vacation), Shia Labeouf is in it, uhm I think that's it. Bad points: It was about 30 minutes too long, there were too many repetitive fighting scenes, that opening scene with Megan Fox was so unnecessary (if you saw it you know what I'm talking about), and the language was way more kid inappropriate than last time, and there were quite a few kids in the audience. But I suppose really, we need only need to return to the fact that Shia is in it, and all is forgiven.

The other movie I got to see was Harry Potter, which if you know me, I was super excited about. My eyes went like six times wider when the lady came by with passes, I almost trampled my coworker to get to them. I got to see it early Tuesday night, the day before it came out. Which was bueno, because I wouldn't have been able to see it when it came out on Wednesday night because I had to work at the library. I had very high expectations of this movie as well, but it sorta lacked as well. For one thing, they cut a lot of the book out. Secondly, it was about 20 minutes too long. And third, it was a lot less interesting to the younger crowd because there was a much larger focus on romance and relationships than normal. But I love me some Ron Weasely so whatevs. And Emma Watson's style to red carpet events is ravishing. And she's going to Brown.
