Heartbeat

by farah_prong@yahoo.com.my

irregular...
fast...
palms sweating
breath quickening
throat dries up
head swaying...

bile rise up
cruelty shred the body open
lips quivering
hands shaking
the man has fallen
the earth swallow

it had finally ended
the gate is finally opened
the angels are finally singing
his journey had just beginning


I just read the NST today (March 16, 2009) and was shocked to see a review about Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince entitled 'Harry Potter and the Soppy Sequel'.The title was shocking enough and the news dreaded me. Why? It says that the 6th movie that just undergo a secret screening in Chicago was 'too romantic', 'a disappointment' and 'underwhelming'. Key scenes in the book have been deleted and the one that has been added was completely and utterly pointless.

To be honest, I have lost the interest to watch the movie when they changed the director. I mean, Chris Columbus is the best director ever! He had this talent to make the film looked magical and really wizardry whereas all the latest directors are just trying to make this movie a really dark (till you can't actually see anything on the screen) and gruesome. I think they are trying to get it so dark and intense till all children under 16 are not allowed to watch it anymore. I love Harry Potter, really (you can see why my email is named farah_prong rite?) but the movie is simply frustrating lately. They took out all the secenes that I (particularly) wanted to see and added those that is really useless and should not be on screen. I mean what is with Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire movie when suddenly Hermione breaks down and cries during the Yule Ball? I hate that scene. Sorry...

I was hoping that this new movie would be great when Tom Felton posted his picture of blood-bathing and gory look few days back but this news makes me feel uninterested in the movie. However, as the movie is due in July, I hope that the producer can edit and makes it interresting again.

That's all for now. See you when I see you!
