Movie - Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix
Just got back from seeing HP movie - it's a very differently-paced movie, but I liked it overall. I liked the Luna character. Dolores Umbridge was suitably awful. Dumbledore was better than the last coupla movies, but I still miss the first Dumbledore (wasn't it Richard Harris?)
Anyone else seen it yet?

Have fun!

There's still a few up by me. Great for taking the kids since it's only $20 a car and you can bring your own food and drink. Also, instead of the old speaker-on-a-pole, you just tune into a radio station for the sound, so you can crank it up and sit on the grass.
My favorite place to see movies, on the rare occasions that I do.

Ohh,.. they just closed the drive-in where I live last year.... (They just had to put a super walmart there) 20$ seems a little steep, it was only 9 here the last time I went. LOTR was what they played, both FotR & TTT I really wish they hadnt closed it down, good times.

I live in Massachusetts where everything is steep.
$20 for a car-full isn't bad here, where theater tickets would be around $8 for kids and $10 for adults, each (which would come to about $54 for us, plus around $35-40 in food and drink )

And I always sneak in food and drink. Whats good about the drive in is you could bring as much stuff as you want, have the whole back seat filled with candy and popcorn.

yeah, the food is really where you would save in a drive-in! It would be fun to make a whole finger-food-type dinner and take that

great movie! i loved it! it had a different director than any of the others and i must say, this one really knew what he was doing. Bellatrix was genius and so was Luna. She was my favorite. And the snake of fire at the end was just great!

I still need to go see the film, so I cannot comment on this yet. There is a drive in theatre in Poughkeepsie, NY. Overlook Drive in Theatre

I thought this was the best of the films to date - they managed to slim down the story without sacrificing too much subtlety and highlight character relationships without cutting too much of the plot. I particularly liked the way Sirius was portrayed, since I found him pretty disappointing in PoA, and the Weasleys (all of them) were enjoyable... All the child actors were good in this one, but I still don't like Michael Gambon as Dumbledore - he doesn't really seem to understand the character. The use of clips from previous films worked well given the importance of memories in OotP...

It really bugs me that they won´t make full movies out of any books, always cutting things off... and no Peeves is really bugging. And even though the duel between Voldy and Dumby was a fine one, I would have preferred one that would have been exactly like in the book. Luna had such sweet nature. It´s cute.
