137. Hey, hey, don't you diss Lussuria, anyone who can get shot in the back a bajillion times and live/be conscious a week later gets kudos in my book. CREEPY NECROGAY OR NOT. >_> Mostly just replying to say that I don't say no on moral grounds, but on IC grounds, since if that happened to Tsuna he would sob and be traumatized and never be able to look at either Kyoko or his mother ever, ever, ever again. XD

Well, it IS Dorian Gray, after all, so I can't blame your professor for that interpretation. The head of my Honours department once famously described In Memoriam as, "Tennyson gets over his old dead boyfriend to find a new dead boyfriend... Jesus."

Man, I'll miss my department.

XDD I know, I know. My mom kept laughing at me, 'cause every time he jumped out of bed, I'd just make this "GUH" noise. She mocked me for days.

If you were referring to that secret, I think the OP wasn't actually saying what you think they're saying? They didn't seem to me to be implying that the story makes the game, and they said they did and WOULD recommend the game, and that it was excellent, had great gameplay, etc. There's really nothing wrong with saying the game is great but the ending of the storyline ruined the storyline for you. The story may not make the game, but it'd still annoy me to have an excellent game with a shitty story, even if I loved the game itself for its gameplay. =X

For the record, I disagree with the OP and loved the story, and didn't see the ending as meaning that at all. But. XD I love the gameplay too, and if the gameplay had been annoying to me, I wouldn't have finished it. Then again, if the story didn't appeal to me, I wouldn't have bought it, because I'm not a huge gamer. The two go hand in hand for me, most of the time.

Girls receive less toys that are spinoffs of movies, because toys from things that are licensed tend to be geared towards boys. The only exception to this rule I can think of is that sometimes when there is a movie with cute animals in it, there will be a few stuffed animals from the movie (like Finding Nemo) that parents buy for girls.

Stuff like Barbie and Bratz -- the toys are manufactured first and then a tv show or cartoon or whatever is made to sell the toys.

Just walk into a Toys R Us or any place that sells toys and look in the action toy aisles. Everything you see is usually merchandise spun off of a movie or tv show. Not so much with the "girl" toys.

That's the only way anyone has ever finished the remake of The Wickerman. Fact.

Ohhhhhh yes! I remember years ago there was this... rumor/fangirl belief thing going around the Internet that Kurapika was genderless or a hermaphrodite or something? I DON'T EVEN KNOW, I just know I heard that somewhere before I knew anything about the series. Kurapika is damn pretty.

I loved the end of Yu Yu Hakusho when those random girls assumed that Kurama was Kuwabara's girlfriend. XD;

WOW, TOGASHI SURE DOES LIKE "K" NAMES.

Relevant question: Do you also go around bitching that the stars of most TV shows are men, the main characters of most books are men, and the stars of most non-computer animated films are men?

Re: OP of 114

First reaction: What.

Second reaction: What.

Third reaction: Hahahahahahahaa wtf this is HILARIOUS.

Fourth reaction: ... BEES???

R-remind me if that one was in the original too because HAHA WTF all I can think of now is Eddie Izzard. XD

Feeling you you're the one expected to keep fandom running (emphasis on "feeling like" here; I wager it's a case of paranoia in the vast majority of cases) and getting fed up with it and leaving ... and then feeling guilty about it because it then died/became infested with n00bs/whatever.

I agree with the unwritten rule of BNFdom. I happen to currently be lurking in a fandom (not the same as the one I feel guilty about) where everyone seems to fancy themselves a BNF because their fics got/get 30 comments and they have five friends who call them that, or something. It's quite amusing to watch if it weren't so lame. It's also interesting that you can't say "I don't want to be a BNF!" without simultaneously implying that you think you are. What a dilemma! So it's all in all best to keep away from phrases like that, yeah.

Uh, tangent.

(Wait, do I know you? The use of phrases like "birch rod" reminds me of someone.)

My money WAS on you! But then I was like, "Wait ... that's HARDLY a secret for Bobby!" so I wasn't sure.

You're doing a good job of spreading the Sendhil = Ass Theory of Hotness, though. *two thumbs up*

Re: OP of 114

[identity profile] vivalanaomi.livejournal.com 2008-07-08 07:08 am (UTC)(link)
No. I'm of the knowledge that the original was good.

In the first film "Cage"'s character was religious and did not believe in pre-marital sex, and was thus a virgin. This was related to the twist ending. Of course, no grown man could ever be believed to be a virgin and still taken seriously in a movie today, so sex was replaced with... bees. I guess.

Killing me won't bring back your goddamned honey!

Re: OP of 114

[identity profile] poisontea.livejournal.com 2008-07-08 07:12 am (UTC)(link)
HAHAHA XD

See, bees in the original would not have made it BAD, per se. I do not disapprove of bees. I could scream like a bawling baby if someone poured bees on MY head. But the honey thing was so retarded what and. Yeah. I was pretty sure there was no torture-by-bee!

The thing that disappoints me most about this movie is the screaming in the burning wicker man. HE DID NOT SCREAM. HE STARTED SINGING HYMNS WHILE THEY SACRIFICED HIM. That was so amazing in the original- it was seriously the best part of the movie, so them taking it out was just pure dumb. I'm not religious at all and they still should never have even CONSIDERED cutting that shit.

Re: OP of 114

[identity profile] vivalanaomi.livejournal.com 2008-07-08 07:16 am (UTC)(link)
And they also have the villagers be replaced to a female-only cult, so not only do we have Nicholas Cage versus bees, we have Nicolas Cage versus feminism. He spends the entirety of the movie punching both in the face.

*CH-CHOKES* Oh GOD I thought there was something extra-weird there, I didn't realize they were all women!

This movie sends a great message though. DO NOT BE DISRESPECTIN' FEMINISTS. We'll fill your face full of motherfuckin' bees.

[identity profile] vivalanaomi.livejournal.com 2008-07-08 07:21 am (UTC)(link)
Ha ha ha! I've been reading the wiki article for the remake, as I am wont to do. The article lists about 10 major differences between the remake and the original, but when it comes to similarities:

* In both movies, when Edward arrives in Sister Rose's classroom, and asks the whereabouts of Rowan, she responds with the same line: "If she existed, we would know of her."
* In the end of both movies, all of the islanders wear all kinds of costumes and masks for their festivities.

That's it! Oh, subtly snarky Wikipedia...

That's the best description of "In Memoriam" that I have ever heard.

ugh, so used to TV titles that I fail at proper notation.

Re: OP of 114

I had to look on Wiki too, of course, once you said that, and...

When Malus wakes up, Dr. Moss informs him that they revived him the "old way" which means raping him.

I think that may be the best sentence I've ever read.

Ellen Burstyn replaces Christopher Lee as the lead antagonist.

That, on the other hand, may be the worse. ): Oh, this movie. It looks too chock-full of both hilarity and EPIC FAIL. I careen between the opinions of "let us never speak of this again" and "I have to watch it now, it's like being told there's a movie about the Rock punching babies!"

There is a big difference between "fluff" and "not porn."
