Potter...
Tonight, Katie and I kicked of a filmic endeavor. We're going to rewatch all eight Harry Potter films start to finish.
This may not sound like much to many of you, but it is to the parents of a near three year old who tends to want the TV more for Mickey Mouse, et al, than for the entertainment of his parents. And when he's not playing Occupy TV, he's asleep and we're on the verge of the same.
So, yes, we're excited about this. I know the first four films rather well because of ABC Family but not the final four, which I've only seen once each.
I also don't remember the books at all. I wonder if that should be part of my reading goal next year. Hmmmm...
I actually want to re-watch all the Star Wars films (except the first one because NO) before the new movie comes out later this year.

Admittedly the first one is terrible but it has the second best villain in Star Wars history making it worth watching. Darth Maul is total badassery and the fight scenes with (and choreographed by) him, Obi-wan, and Qui-Gon are second to none.

We've been watching all the HP movies over the past couple of weeks. Only the last two to go :)

We got through the firsts one the other night but didn't try last night. We had the season finale of Major Crimes. Heh.

As with all things the Potter books are better than the movies. But the movies are amazeballs in their own right. So yeah, watch _and_ read. Double the fun.

I need to. On both counts. Been too long.
