Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Movie Trailer (And a Rant About Movies/DVDs)

So, i can't stop thinking about it. I saw the trailer on the Twilight film, and I about wet myself right there. This movie is going to be so exciting. They're doing it in two parts. I can't chill. I just watched the trailer again. I'm so keyed up for it. So excited. I'm tripping balls. I personally feel that it's gonna be better than the new World of Warcraft expansion, which is also (supposedly) coming out in November.

I mean, like, the most exciting part is they're doing 2 parts to it. Some people feel its to get more money (since this is the last one) but in my humblest of opinions, I feel that its because there is no way to properly fit everything they need to fit into a 3 hour film. Its taken nearly 2 years to make it. They're putting a lot more effort into this one. I can only hope that it will live up to the hype. Personally, I think that's what has taken them so long on it. I mean, I'm sure they could have just done the whole thing as one movie, but they'd have to have like a 20 minute intermission so everyone could flood the bathrooms and halls to pee and stretch and blather on about the first half. But that would also be like a 6 hour sitting, i'm sure. And the movie theatres would either have to show it in more rooms or run it for more weeks, so that everyone that wants to see it in theatres gets the chance. Plus its gonna be in 3D. I know the theatre near me has a deluxe digital 3D room, but not many do, which isn't a big deal, but those that do have theatres like that will be jam packed. And a 6 hour showing means they wouldn't be able to do it more than 2x a day, so they'd have to occupy their theatre for longer or whatever. Really, its just not beneficial all around to do it as one movie. So I think its better they break it up.

I'm just curious how they'll do the DVD. Will part one come out, then part two be realeased in theatres, or will they wait for part to to go to theatres, meanwhile, preparing the DVDs so when its time to release it, both parts can go out at once? With the technology we have nowadays, not to mention the demand, movies make it to DVD just months, as opposed to back 15-20 years ago (or longer, even) when movies took a couple years to come out on tape. I think the only reason that movies take time to come to DVD now is because they want people to still pay to go to the theatres.

Honestly, I don't think, even if movies came out like, right after they went out of theatres, that I would stop going to the movies. There's something about it that I really enjoy. The sounds, the smells, the crush of people crowding into the rooms, all of it I love. Movies make excellent dates. You pick something you both want to see, or something that will make her cry into your arms, or hell, something that'll make her jump into your arms out of fear. You enjoy yourself, you get to cop a feel, everyone's happy. I love getting to go to the movies. I love getting out of the house (cuz i'm pretty much here or at work), see things, be around people. I think the only thing I don't like at the movies is the incredibly overpriced food and drinks. But even sometimes i'd be willing to splurge on a drink or drink/popcorn combo, just for the full "going to the movies" effect.

To quote a good friend of mine, this Harry Potter movie is gonna be "better than porn."

November can't come fast enough. :D
