This week, there was a storm of protest online when Robert Downey Jr. suggested his onscreen Sherlock Holmes—scheduled to hit theater screens on Christmas—might have had a gay fling with Watson (Jude Law). Gawker described the "full blown gay panic" from conservative film critic Michael Medved. "Who is going to watch Downey Jr. and Law make out?" he asked. "I don't think it would be appealing to women. Straight men don't want to see it."
- What if G.I. Joe Were Gay?

Actually, I'm pretty sure I'd pay good money for that. But not in a Sherlock Holmes movie. XD That's not the point, guys.

The sad part is So maybe it's just a matter of time before we see our first openly gay action hero. Um, guys? THERE ARE LOADS OF THEM. It's not our fault you're blind to nuance.

End of the article linked above is worth reading, though. :3 Awww. You go, little old lady.

That wasn't actually what I wanted to talk about, it just caught my interest as I was browsing LJ.

Because Mum just walked back in.

I HAVE SHADOW MAGIC.

So now I am off to ignore my cleaning and read about the aftermath of metal dragons in the Empire. Aaaaahhhhhhhhh! *runs*

[EDIT] Except I just have to link that Gawker article so I don't forget to read it because it has script excerpts that may or may not be totally invented.

[EDIT] Except that I clearly don't know when to stop:
But the only explicit sex mentioned is a half-naked post-coital shot of Downey and Rachel McAdams in bed.

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARGH HE ADMIRES HER FOR HER MIND BECAUSE SHE IS AMAZING YOU BASTAAAAAAAARDSSSSDJHDJFhjsdfhadjsfhljksdfks
