Idle thoughts of a relatively libertarian Republican in Cambridge, MA, and whomever he invites. Mostly political.

I saw the Chamber of Secrets yesterday. It seemed unsubtle and rushed to me in a way that the first Harry Potter movie didn't -- but, then, I hadn't read the book before I saw the first movie, so I didn't realize how much they were cutting. Even in the scenes that were kept, though, there were a few places where I thought the characters should be more hesitant, or that a scene needed more development to really work, but they didn't have enough time for it, so they just delivered the line and went on to the next scene.

To sum up, my biggest disappointment with the 161-minute movie is that it was too short.

The third book is the best she's written so far (in my opinion; I haven't conducted a scientific poll, but from what I've gathered, the consensus is generally with me on this). I've heard a rumor that they're hoping to have that movie out in a year and a half. The third book was longer than the first two.
