How to overcome worry about judgement while talking to strangers at the store (maybe even exchanging jokes)?

I love the way older people strike up conversations with me and my young kids at the store. But I’m always worried I’ll inconvenience someone or that I’m not worth the time.

Gosh, it always lifts my day and brightens my mood. I want to be that person that injects some freshness into someone else’s life. I especially love getting told jokes out of the blue. I’ve encountered some good ones:

  1. What did the fish say when he ran into a wall?

Dam.

  1. What did the fish do when it saw the ocean’s bottom?

Blushed.

  1. What’s a T-Rex’s favourite party?

A T party!

So! Any thoughts you keep in mind about people when you want to talk to someone? What about if they do look annoyed or incredulous? Lastly… got any good jokes?

Thank you for your help!

I honestly can’t imagine Harry Potter on screen without John Williams’ scores.

It’s so quintessentially Harry Potter to me. It’s in the DNA of the show. Will they allude to those famous tunes? Pretty big shoes to fill, John Williams’.

What do you think? Will they be able to invent another score that will be completely different?

Edit: is Hans Zimmer confirmed for the HBO series? I had no idea, sorry for not following more closely. I did a quick search on the sub to see if there were recent posts out there so I wouldn’t be redundant.

I see where all of you are coming from, but a big part of me would be surprised if the new score was something that didn’t allude to the whimsy of John Williams’ work. I deeply admire all of your dedication to getting something new. I suppose this is just something I’ll have to work on. Thank you for commenting!

Edit 2: I mistakenly used the word “score” instead when I was thinking more of “theme”. Like the recurring “Headwig’s Theme” mentioned in some of the comments. My mistake!

The fight scenes are pretty bloody! Just my shower thought for today. Feel free to chime in how you think an animated adaptation would go as far as fight scenes go.

Some of the deaths were pretty explicit. Haha no shade! Just observation. Reading them… it flows naturally and isn’t terribly shocking. Seeing it would probably be different.

Of course, I’m being a bit tongue-in-cheek. I don’t expect they would keep the fight and death scenes book accurate for an animation intended for the whole family, but boy! When I stop and think about it, it gets pretty gory! TV-MA /s
