I have just the lightest smattering of linkspam for you today, but make sure you read it, because there's another Sweeney Todd trailer, and (AND!) JK Rowling reveals that a prominent HP character is gay. Fundamentalists, start your righteous engines!

It's official: Karl Urban is Trek's McCoy.

'Wolverine' Gets New Title, Release Date and Mutant Co-Stars.

OH MY GOD, BATTEN DOWN THE FANDOM WANK HATCHES: Rowling Says Dumbledore Is Gay. " 'Dumbledore is gay, actually,' replied Rowling as the audience errupted in surprise. She added that, in her mind, Dumbledore had an unrequited love affair with Gellert Grindelwald, Voldemort's predecessor who appears in the seventh book. After several minutes of prolonged shouting and clapping from astonshed fans, Rowling added, 'I would have told you earlier if I knew it would make you so happy.' " I can has Potterdämmerung now? Also, she says that Neville married Hannah Abbott. Is she ever going to pick a version of who married who and stick with it?

By the way--it's a quick linkspam because my eyes still ache a little from going to see The Nightmare Before Christmas in 3-D. I highly recommend going, by the way--3-D works really well with the stop-motion animation, even when it just separates the foreground out from the background, but particularly when shit goes flying across the screen. There's a point, also, where Jack leans forward at the end of some song or other where it feels like he is literally leaning out of the movie screen into the audience. Delightfully freakish, would see again. Warning: Tickets may be a dollar or two more expensive than usual because it includes the cost of some fairly swank glasses. Also: Make sure you stop by the ticket window to pick them up; we pre-ordered tickets and picked them up from a machine, only to wander around for ten minutes wondering where the glasses were.

Better yet - one-side, unrequited canon! Enter the emo and the stories about Grindelwald using Albus just for the sex.

God, I remember reading the 7th book and thinking that it would be easy to slash Dumbledore/Grindelwald. I was totally right. :D

Yeah, I caught Nightmare 3D last October. What I enjoyed even more than the 3D was the pristineness of it; projected digitally, it was the best I'd ever seen it look. A lot of people complain about digital projection, but the movies I've seen that way look amazing — like Across the Universe, man, that played happy fun with my eyes.

I'm more upset about Neville and Hannah Abbot that Dumbledore. I mean, he was basically asexual as it was, why should it make any difference?

Me too! It really only makes a difference to Christian fundamentalists and slashers, I think.

I would've picked Percy, personally. He always had a bit of a gay vibe to him. That does explain Dumbledore's extravagant clothing.

Re: Dumbledore - Yeah, part of me wants to be all OMGWTF and then part of me kind of...saw it coming? He was a very snappy dresser.

I always kind of wondered if there were other students who were gay, if Rowling just left it out by choice or design or simply just never mentioned it. Even as the books matured I was struck by the lack of sexuality in them - although the last book alluded to some, it was never on the part of the main characters. I liked it that way, but I always wondered if there was more that went on behind closed doors that she thought of just never told us.

Well, you do have to remember these books were *still* written for children. Even if us grownups kinda took it over. I don't think there's going to be much more than snogging or handholding in them, or anything that makes little Emily ask "Mommy, why did Neville kiss Dobby with tongue?"

Dude, the Fandom_lounge post has already reached three pages, and it's only been up for a couple of hours.

Also, I'm currently poking around the blog that the vampire cupcakes came from (which my roommate and I are so going to make, even if we don't have a food processor) and discovered that the blog author has also created a giant hostess cupcake (http://bakingbites.com/2007/10/giant-hostess-cupcake-step-by-step/#more-1196)

Rowling Says Dumbledore Is Gay

My response to this: HELL YEA!
I'm not surprised, more like 'Oh, so all the slash I saw between AD/GG in Book 7 was not in my head' XD

I already loved Dumbledore to bits, but I think this made me love him even more.
