Heh. Just today I read a piece in Time Out where they claimed that kids going to see the film would realise it was their own homophobia that was being mocked. I thought it was horseshit then, and now I know it is horseshit.
At first glance I thought the 'my ass is just for shitting' quote was from Harry Potter, and was trying to work out what possible context it could have appeared in. I must be more tired than I thought!
I was going to ask you the same thing! What's worth seeing? Callum wants to see the Sandra Bullock/Ryan Reynolds thing, but I worry you might run in the other direction...
I saw HBP yesterday, and yours is the first review I've come across, so my apologies for taking out all my excitement on your innocent journal.
- Okay, firstly (and quite desperately), did you find Malfoy's angsty, Hitler Youth on Heroin look a teeny bit sexy? Because I did, and the ten other people I went to see the film with decided that I was clinically insane for doing so. Please assure me I'm not the only one!
- Narcissa's small part was one of my favourite parts of the film. She played it spectacularly well.
- I ADORED the supporting cast of kids in this one; Luna was - as always - marvellous; and Cormac ... OH LORD WHEN HE LICKED HIS FINGERS AT HERMOINE I PRACTICALLY DIED OF LAUGHTER. I loved Lavender, too.
- Emma and Daniel seemed so, SO much better in this film. They just seemed so much more natural, Emma in particular.
- and doing nothing but excite my pyjama fetish for a good portion of the film OH, I CONCURR, GOOD SIR. Oh, Won Won ♥
- The writing was still a bit 'blimey, you bloody sodding daft sod... where's my

Bonnie Wright is the weak link. Which is probably to do with the fact that, so far, her role has extended to little beyond walking past Harry and raising her eyebrows, and the fact that she seems to be the only one of the cast of kids with no acting aspirations whatsoever. She doesn't even look right! 'Sometimes I think we sort too soon,' indeed!
You're on your own with old Feltbeats, though. He'd be such a good actor, if it wasn't for his awkward face.
I'm glad you agree about Bruno, I haven't actually seen it but my friends (including gay friends) don't seem to have any moral issue with it. They seem to think that because it's funny, that excuses it from being homophobic. Can it not be both?
