Awesome Betty White News… well, kinda

SNL is ready to sign on Betty White for hosting duties… with a twist. She won’t host alone, but with a bevy of helpmates. Apparently, “This tag-team approach will allow Lorne Michaels to appease White-on-SNL zealots… without making the 88-year-old shoulder the burden of all 90 minutes on her own.” Uh huh. Betty White working out a…

It never fails. The newest Harry Potter movie comes out in theaters. I am severely disappointed by what they choose to leave in and what they choose to leave out. I pout about it for weeks. Then, the DVD gets released. I buy it the first day. I put it in the DVD player and…

However, seeing it at midnight may have altered my perception…haha. Hope you enjoy it!
Are you saying you wouldn’t have cried at, like, 11 am?
Oh, crying was inevitable. The not so loving the rest of the movie however, might be blamed on the time.
So what did you think?
I really liked book 6 (although Book 7 is probably my favorite… well, tied with 3) and I thought the movie was pretty good. Not perfect… I am not sure about the lack of discussion of the horcruxes… how will Harry find them or know where to start if he and Dumbledore did not discuss the fact that Voldemort has a strong attraction to the founders of Hogwarts?
