To kick things off, I finally saw Harry Potter 7 -Part 2 today. As I expected, it was quite an awesome movie. I felt the same way that many critics did in the sense that the ending was rather abrupt, and should have been further developed. It felt like the director wanted to rush through things by the end, which is a shame, because I doubt that was his intention. Still, it was a ton better than HP7 - Part 1, which I felt was quite a slow movie. Part 2 is much faster, gripping, and full of action. For the most part it also managed to be extremely faithful to the book, even in its short running time of about two hours.

Nextly, I have a few thoughts on the new Gamespot Fuse that I saw for the first time today, and also a couple questions. First of all, I seriously can't stand the bright white page design. I never liked it on Gamefaqs and I don't like it here. This fact leads me to my first inquiry...how the heck can I change the color back to a black design, the way I kept my old profile page? So far I can't figure out a way to do it, and it seems to be impossible. Secondly, is there any possible way to opt out of using Fuse? I honestly just want to keep my Gamespot experience exactly the way it was before. I don't want Fuse updates cluttering up my screen (especially with the awful white page). I was able to finagle a bit and get my old profile page up for now, to at least write this blog, but I'm not sure if I can stand to do it every time. If anybody has any answers or advice I would greatly appreciate it.

One last thing I want to mention. I was also able to catch the teaser trailer for "The Dark Knight Rises" which played before HP7-Pt2. It certainly didn't show much at all, but what can you expect from the teaser? The biggest thing I took away from it was the possibility of Liam Neeson returning as Ra's Al Ghul, which would be utterly fantastic, in my opinion. Anyone else have thoughts or comments about the teaser, if you've seen it?

Sorry for the unusually short blog. I'm still a little peeved about Fuse taking over my precious Gamespot. :P Anyway, thanks for reading and please comment.
