Buster Keaton undressing is from The Cameraman.

Hee, don't worry, I do it with almost every movie he's in. It was just really bad for Darjeeling.

I've played Kingdom Hearts. Thought the games were boring. Think the fandom's pretty batshit. But so what? I just ignore the games and the fandom and go on with my life. I don't see the reason to hate Nomura for it. He headed the project, the games are consistently selling incredibly well in Japan and abroad, of course he's going to get to work on more projects.

As lame as KH is, it's never bugged me as much as FFXII's shitty battle system did. And even then I don't have much of a reason to hate Akihiko Yoshida for designing the characters or Yoshinori Kitase for being one of the directors. They've made better stuff. I know they're capable of it. So I hate one game they've created, I'm not going to hate THEM for it.

Same goes for Nomura. KH is stupid, but I enjoyed Advent Children for the eye candy that it was, and I thought TWEWY was great. And isn't TWEWY itself proof that not all of Nomura's designs are repetitive? And if that's the case, why are people still hating on him?

GO SEE IT! It was great. And hilarious. I love the bit at the end when he's running around with the camera and the monkey.

IT'S A TRAP. But seriously, I lol every time someone's caught by Tieria.

There's actually some theories going around that he's a robot with no actual gender, dunno how much basis there is thar...

167. Haha, this secret has such perfect timing.... DONNA ;_;

You fail at literary analysis -- I should know; I teach it. A) Characters are not just an extension of the writer's personality. They certainly can be, but characters are also derived from the world we live in, and the stories we tell. If I were to write an epic, for example, chances are I would base my characters, in part, on recognizable tropes found in that genre. The extent to which I played with or altered the genre, certainly, might speak to my talent as a writer, but one can be a talented writer and work very much within generic convention. No story is created in a vacuum, and no author's personality, identity, or sense of self is created in a vaccuum either.

B) Saying that "gender roles don't play a role in the narrative unless gender roles itself is a theme in the narrative" is, well, stupid. All sorts of things come to play in a text that might not be identified as a "theme" of the text by those looking for simple things like, oh, man against man, man against nature, man against himself (recognize those "themes"? I think they are what you think literature is primarily derived of).

Eve Kosofsky Sedgwick -- sexuality and orientation can be an organizing principle in a text even when it's not the stated "theme" of the text, or a stated subject within it.

Toni Morrison -- race can be an organizing principle in a text even when it's not the stated "theme" of the text, or a stated subject within it.

A whole lot of feminist literary theorist -- sex and gender can be ...

Forget it.
tl;dr -- you don't know what you are talking about.

LMAO my comment on page 8 has a picture of those fantastic abs.

ttly =p

132. HOLY FUCK, I WOULD'VE RUN AWAY. I can't believe someone would ask for something like that.

-OP

O RLY???

We need more old school film secrets.

I don't think anyone should keep their love for old school fims secret, but I'd love to see more around ♥

First part of 10.

I think you can find a bunch of his movies online because most are in public domain by now. Enjoy!

163. Suddenly I am craving chocolate. I don't think I knew that there was a Yowie cartoon, but I ate so many of the chocolates and had so many of the little toys inside. I think there was also Yowie ice cream at one point too.

163. HOLY SHIT. SO DID I. WHOA.

Yay! Bless your heart. :)

127. Wow... I hope you're not making judgments on it based on five minutes of play.

It's really one of the best VNs out there, and certainly the best free one. But if you were looking for sex then heh, can't blame you for stopping. At least you didn't find out halfway through.

OMGZ! XD

132. I know, right? I can't help but think that she's a little too tusting to do something like that alone, and late at night. I mean, seriously.

-OP

I'm not a big Harry Potter fan, but I just don't get this at all.

If they're such "badly written tripe," why did you bother to read all seven books? Why didn't you just stop reading them when you realized they weren't your cup of tea? If you disliked the first book, why did you bother to read the second?

162. I don't have a problem with belts and zippers. I'm a fan. BUT how many belts and zippers do you need? One of each seems to suffice for most people - why do you need seventeen?

132. Sad to say, I think you're wise.

151. *claps hands*

167. Sucks to be prophetic, donnit?

Who knows where slang comes from? But 'canon' also means the text itself, not just the interpreter, making fandom 'canon' the original or "sacred" material.

Sex is irrelevant to the writer's belief and the story, wut?

Because of the way society is structured, men and women can have very different experiences. Writing from the perspective of the female experience DOES make a difference.

Go read some Virginia Woolf or some Margaret Atwood or something. :/

Icon very relevant. :D

Totally irrelevant here, but I just had to but in and laugh really hard at your icon. XD Oh man.

...I-I sort of need to see this fic.
