Goblet of Fire, movie in review

Hello loves!  Yes, I went to the movie last night, and generally, we had a pretty spiffy time.  Oh, except for the fact that the video and sound screwed up right at the scene when the names come out of the Goblet, and it was fucked up for several agonizing minutes and they wouldn't/couldn't rewind.  The line party itself was awesome.  I have a new broom and wand (and an awesome new scarf... YAY!), and I'll take pictures of all that stuff soon and post it.  We had a fun time hanging out.  As usual, I was with my Boston area line party group.  Met some new fandom people, and got to hang out with gatewaygirl again and a bunch of people whose LJ names I can't remember right now, and had an awesome time.  At 4:00, we started gathering at a nearby restaurant.  At 5:30 or so, we all lined up in the theatre.  We acted silly.  T'was good.  At 8:30, we all watched a showing of Prizoner of Azkaban.  At midnight, Goblet of Fire started.  We laughed, we cried, we acted like crazy fandom people, and it was great.

Anyhow, the movie itself... some of it was awesome, but some of it pissed me off.  I knew it was gonna happen.  If you haven't seen it, you might want to avoid the LJ cut.
