Michael Gambon is a better Dumbledore than Richard Harris and I will cut* anyone who disagrees.

*I won't actually cut anyone.

In other filmy news: Lane's hilariously overbearing mom from Gilmore Girls is checking into Grey's Anatomy later this month. Emily Kuroda will play a patient in the March 19 episode. OH YES. I am so tuning in for this. If

I like the U-Turn a hell of a lot more than the Yields. It seems infinitely more fun to make a team go back and complete the other half of a Detour; if they rip through it then they could make up some time, it's not like the arbitrary sit there on your ass period of the Yield. But oh my GOD the anonymous aspect is like...the best thing in the history of ever.

I love how they're raising the stakes with each season, and there are actual CLUES again this time.

As I just told Val, I won't judge you for your taste in old men. What you find attractive, you find attractive. :-P

[snowburned]

It's not about attractiveness! Gambon just seems a lot more vital and powerful (but still wise and kindly) like Dumbledore should be. Harris looked like he was about the keel over dead.

Which he um. Was.

LOLz, I just made the same joke over gchat to Val. I felt bad about it. Well, I thought I should feel bad about it. I didn't actually feel bad about it.

[jaina]

Ahahaha same here. IT'S TRUE, WHY SHOULD WE FEEL BAD ABOUT THE TRUTH?

Also I feel sort of special that I'm inspiring gchat convos now.

Me too, Neville's journey is as great as Harry's in many ways.

[arafel]

Michael Gambon also has a curve named after him on the Top Gear test track!

BEAT THAT, RICHARD HARRIS!

The Dumbledore war always surprised me. I think it's an issue of who's reading him as a mentor and who's reading him as a mentor that is kind of wackadoo. RHarris I couldn't picture saying "Nitwit! Blubber! Oddment! Tweak!"
