There was a whole post on Gawker about the homoeroticism in HP6.

Ha! I liked this bit: Dumbledore confronts a young Voldemort about a literal flaming box of secrets in his closet!

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

Because books.
Saw Half Blood Prince yesterday. I was ... wildly disappointed. It felt completely disjointed, and the storylines they focused on seemed really off to me, especially the angsty! silly! teen! romance .
I thought Rickman was horribly underused, too. But I will say that I thought the spontaneous wand-lighting moment when Dumbledore died was actually a nice shortcut to the general grief, since the setup of the funeral in the book would have taken a lot of time without a lot of payoff, except a chance to cry a little longer.
The whole thing just felt off to me, as if they'd thrown some random scenes at the screen and called it good as a placeholder. Definitely my least favorite of the films.

Compassionately intolerant
I don't necessarily disagree with Amy's point about the wand lighting scene. It did cover a lot of ground pretty much instantly. Except that it sort of made me wonder if Aerosmith had come to perform at the funeral .

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

Well, of course they had to be there. Because they DO-O-ON'T WANNA MISS A THI-I-I-ING.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
OH MY GOD YOU GUYS. The "secret twist" in Orphan is actually a surprise and way better than I would have guessed. Link to the Gawker post about it: [link]

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Better? Better? Seriously?
