[jimmyrabbitte.livejournal.com]

132. Oh, Simon. Yeah, he's adorable, but I'm not sure if I'd hit it. Actually, I'd just want him to ask me pop quiz-related questions. And maybe tell me awful stories about Mark Lamarr.

162. Dark City! Saw it opening day in theaters, and it was the first DVD I ever bought. That's a perfect movie right there, and it's got an awesome "from-and-inspired-by" soundtrack too. Funny enough, I don't ever want to see the director's cut, because I know it will suck compared to the original.

162

[obnoxdwfanbrat.livejournal.com]

One of my friends says the Director's Cut is good but really disturbing. And they cut that awful opening narration!

[katamanda.livejournal.com]

159. After recently reading Monster, I agree with this comment. Reading that manga makes me sad because I think how much better DN could have been.

[levikitty.livejournal.com]

165. No story is completely original. Everyone draws inspiration from something. I'm really sick of people bringing this up. Especially the Kimba people who think they're SOOOOO much better because of it. YES, KIMBA CAME FIRST. LION KING DRAWS INSPIRATION FROM IT. WE KNOW. THE REASON PEOPLE GET PISSED OFF WHEN PEOPLE BRING IT UP IS BECAUSE THEY BRING IT UP ALL THE TIME AND NEVER SHUT UP ABOUT IT.

[infinite-beauty.livejournal.com]

I love the show, and Greek mythology! As someone else pointed out, yeah Disney may mess around with the myths to make them more child-friendly, but they also have a lot of little nods to the original stories.

[penguinfaery.livejournal.com]

127- Because not all anime/manga look like that? The amjority does, but the second you say "All" yeah people are gonna jump on you (And yeah, the same damn thing is true with western comics, as Maus=/=Runaways art)

165- Yeah, you ttly have a point with Lion kind, but I'd like to point out the other two? Are stories pulling from the same basic history/ideas/story to make their own version. Alantis being crystal oriented is part of ATLANTIS legend that all three pulled from.

172- But...Anko is...ugh?

173- I think you miss the point of why people compare the two.

174- I don't mind the concept when done well, but most are flat and ugly.

172 OP

[(Anonymous)]

Uh, oops.

Well, recommenting cause I don't want the whole world knowing who I am.

I repeat: ?

[femaelstrom27.livejournal.com]

124: I find that completely understandable. I haven't seen that movie since I was like, ten, but I definitely had a crush on him then.

132: OH MY GOD, ME TOO. I'm utterly in denial about his sexuality. I just feel like my whole world would end if I accepted the fact that he's gay.

155: I lol'd. Hard. And felt REALLY bad for doing so.

157: Are...are you me? I don't think I've been drinking this week, but did I get drunk and post this? Feel free to friend me, because...yes. I still love both of them equally! I hate the pressure to pick one over the other!

173: I've never seen the series, but is that really what people think about Hitler? Holy shit. He did it because he truly believed that "Aryan" people literally had superior blood. It wasn't "for the lulz." Jesus. I hate America sometimes.

[tulleskirt.livejournal.com]

I don't agree with the comparison, but people have legitimate rationale for comparing the two. And I've seen a lot of non-Americans do it.

104 and 186

[rampant-chaos8.livejournal.com]

I'm loving these Joker secrets... Joker = <3

22, 24, 65, 81

[ashcash7.livejournal.com]

22. I like Skandar/Anna too, I also like Georgie/Skandar too....though I'd rather have Skandar for myself. lol

24. I love Gene Wilder!Wonka. I crush on him too.

65. Beauty and the Beast was not ripped off the novel Beauty. it ripped off the fairy tale with has been for hundreds of years.

and about the Kimba and Lion King thing. not ripped off. the Lion King is ripped off from Hamlet. Kimba and Simba are similar names, but Simba was named that because in Swahili it means Lion.

so Disney can rip off, but mostly on the original sourcework of the classic stories and archtypes.

81. why don't you join the Jacob/Bella communities on LJ? there will be people who share your same ideas and ships.

[fenm.livejournal.com]

148: I've love to see the Brig again! But.. the actor who played Harry Sullivan died quite awhile ago (in '86), so I could see, if he's mentioned at all, them saying he's dead.

150: Woah.. Ok, that's just awesome. ^_^

155: And now I can't unsee it, either. AH!

165: ?? Who claims Beauty and the Beast is a Disney original? Of course it's not!

170: Please do! First on your list should be dropping the whole, "Snape was only good becasue he was in looooove" crap. Thanks for giving with one hand and taking with the other, Jo. Oh, and another thing: Make the bad guy actually scary. That might help.

148 OP

[(Anonymous)]

Yes, yes, I know Ian Marter died and rumour has it that Sarah Jane and the Brig do some nostalgising when they see a photo of Harry. But! They don't have to kill Harry himself off, he can still be alive and well offscreen...

Or recasted D:

[foofighter0234.livejournal.com]

116. BEST.SECRET.EVER. I do that too!

[(Anonymous)]

Thank you.

158

[bevinbaka.livejournal.com]

Hey, I was in that fandom waaay back in the day, I'm amazed it's still around. It's interesting that not many members of the fanbase know much about Greek mythology, though, since the people I was nerding around with for a few years in there knew quite a lot, including me. Heck, I got interested in the movie and the show because I grew up reading the Greek myths and loved them to pieces.

Now I'm feeling nostalgic...

Re: OP 158

[(Anonymous)]

It's still small though, enter at your own risk!

180

[misteline.livejournal.com]

180. I get angry when complaints are unwarranted. SRSLY. They aren't all bad. Some actually turn out to rival the original versions. Plus if you don't like it that much, the simple solution would be to stop watching it.

180 OP

[(Anonymous)]

yeah, plus a few of them don't even know what they're talking about. for instance, i've had people complaining to me about the dub to elfen lied (not that it isn't terrible, but anyways) but even the japanese version was criticized on its crappy acting. just because it's ~*~*JAPAN*~*~ doesn't mean it's crammed with amazing actors and ONLY amazing actors

[atlikarinca.livejournal.com]

Too Big 3 - I find the show amusing at times, but yeah, most of it is kinda dull.

And fuck yeah, Lisa is so much better than both of them.

169

[parron.livejournal.com]

I---um!

I'm speechless. ;___;

I don't know who you are (my first instinct is, "one of my friends pretending to be anon"), I don't think, but, um, I'm... I think I'm a pretty nice person? So you can - uh -

- I really don't know the etiquette for this sort of situation. Pffft. But, thank you very much. I'm incredibly flattered and touched. *____*

OP

[(Anonymous)]

I didn't mean to freak you out! It's just... I don't fangirl people on the internet, but you're a really, really good author. Um.

#162

[numb3r-5ev3n.livejournal.com]

I loved this movie. No matter how awesome the Matrix was, Dark city was there first, and may very well have more staying power in the long run.

I even wrote fanfiction. (It's horrible, even worse than my Matrix Fanfiction - and no, I won't let anyone see it.)

Re: #162

[obnoxdwfanbrat.livejournal.com]

Please tell me you wrote bumstead/schreber? ...please?

Ahem. Sorry. OTP.

Also, your Merovingian icon wins.

183

[luciademedici.livejournal.com]

"Look at what the X-Men have become?"

Alright, 183, I'm not entirely certain what you mean by this in reference to that particular title and that particular variant cover (because, honestly, X-Force is as gritty and dirty and ugly as you can get without resorting to Max: unless you're bothered by the slaughter? I dunno. The rainbows and puppy dogs variant, I thought, was a hilarious and ironic twist for the book... especially when the alternative is referred to as a "bloody variant".)

Anyway. To the point, and my apologies if I sound like an ass (but no apologies offered for my opinion on the matter) if you haven't made an effort to suss out the nuances of the characters by actually reading the books, watching the movies, renting the DVDs, whatever, you're not experiencing anything firsthand, and its likely that one day, someone will pick you off and call you out for it, because someday, you will slip and the canon nazis riot in that sort of gore, especially when you find yourself in a high profile position (in my opinion, undeservedly).

The rest of us are doing the work and doing the research because we like it. Why can't you give your dollars to a suffering industry and read the books? Or was the point of this secret a confession that you're exploiting something you know virtually nothing about to gain notoriety in a fandom you don't really care about?

Whatever, man.

*kicks soapbox out of the way*

183 op

[(Anonymous)]

I do care about the fandom. I'm in the fandom, just not for this particular cast of characters. I read other Marvel titles, and I support the 'suffering' industry, I collect other series, and Marvel is probably far from 'suffering'.

108, 127, 130, 139, 143, 146, 155, 168, 176, 180, 182

[(Anonymous)]

108 Is that really enough if you want to know the whole story?

127 It's not racist. Some of us like both.

130 Damn straight. Boys in short shorts over the Ouran men any day (I'll pass on Honey).

139 Yet he happily takes the bait.

143 I thought they were a bit tacky.

146 I liked Mai HiME more for that very reason. And cat fights.

155 That man is made of Lego and ProWheelchair.

168 You sound kind of very creepy. I would never get myself dirty.

176 I'd also never admit it because my big-name-school-graduate and big-name-corporate-employee "friends" would play their little turn-the-world-against-that-damn-lesbian game (and I'm not even a lesbian).

180 I do too, if they complain about dubs just for being a dub. (Cardcraptors and similar "productions" are an entirely different class of their own.)

182 Is this supposed to be a reference to the kid who died in a foot of sand?

124

[chickenlime.livejournal.com]

YOU ARE NOT ALONE

ME TOO

[since I was 3. It was my first favorite movie so says my mother.]

<333333333333333

129

[jyusan.livejournal.com]

Oh, mate. I was about to make a similar secret but you saved me the trouble.
I've been stalking them like crazy for a year now, but at first I didn't admit it because ah popular cosplayers bwah. Then I started watching them at dA, reading the journal entries and everything...
...but it was only a few weeks ago that I figured out Jin is a girl.
Or is she? I never saw concrete proof, so I just heavily speculate but I don't care either way, I think it's pretty amusing. I don't know why they put so much effort into hiding it but it's their decision :D
So don't be ashamed, I don't know how old this is supposed to be :D

Sad thing is that even after figuring out the "truth", I still have a crush on Jin. Or what. :D

129 OP

[(Anonymous)]

XP She is pretty cute and awesome!

But, yeah, if you choose to believe the twins thing, fraternal twins =/= identical, really. And she's written about her cosplay experiences and has had, shall I say, a "cosplay experience interview" where she IS referred to as a girl so... I'm pretty convinced. XD Also, many of her schoolmates have already spilled the beans about the whole thing, too.

[etherealtsuki.livejournal.com]

Let it be known, the tidal of Dark Knight!Joker will come very, very soon.

106. Oh Jesus, why do I want to read this?! (Maybe Lewis Black as Sachiko? I know that Samantha got to be Sei because she's awesome.)

114. I want them too, but too expensive.... ;_;

127. You can hate anime and manga, nobody really cares. For everything else though:
(http://tinypic.com)

130. Really?! Fuck yes, Clamp Campus Detectives. Seriously, they were the reason I read Tsubasa. I wish they had a new manga. Damn you, CLAMP!

143. Is it funny that it will be one of the reason I will watch the show because of her eyes? I like them a lot.

150. Whoa, that's delicious....

152. YOU'RE NOT ALONE! My aunt roped me into watching that show and I love it (and as a semi-clutterbug, it gave me the courage to say it's ok to throw some stuff away). And I don't know if want, I would have to explain why I giggling to my aunt.

159. Whut? Monster may not be as popular as Death Note, but it's really well known to the point it's prolly giving a Hollywood LA movie (which I don't know what's happening with that recently) and it was before DN's too.

164. Oh, I think I know what this is.....

173. IAWTS so hard. Stop breaking Godwin's Law, people.

146. + 176. = OTP?

[fenm.livejournal.com]

173. IAWTS so hard. Stop breaking Godwin's Law, people.

That's not what Godwin's law is about. Seriously, look it up.

116, 127, 136, 141, 155, 159, 165, 170, 173

[tulleskirt.livejournal.com]

116. No shame. Spongebob is ♥
127. It's not racist and it's fine to not like it, but saying it all looks the same is plainly wrong. Lucky Star!=Berserk.
136. Me too. :)
141. Given the anime, that's really not off the mark. I mean, she is described as a messiah more than once. :]
155. Oh god, now I can't either.
159. I think Monster's on the rise...it was in the last issue of TIME. :D
165. That isn't exactly obscure knowledge.
170. Oh, HP fandom...I hate you a little more as each day passes.
173. I agree with you, but you're wrong in saying that the people making such assertions are all totally ignorant.

116 OP

[(Anonymous)]

Thanks.

It's just hard for a 26-year-old to blurt out lines from a kid's show in a public place.

[jill-calico.livejournal.com]

118. I have no idea what that is, but it totally justifies the crush I had on Edd when I was in middle school. :O

165. Haha, why yes, a retelling of Beauty and the Beast IS in fact a retelling of Beauty and the Beast! How clever of you!

Re: 118

[poisontea.livejournal.com]

That game is not needed to justify any crush that anyone may hypothetically have had or still sorta has on Edd. >_>

[georg-vanlunden.livejournal.com]

107. Good god, so much word. I don't even follow Doctor Who and I still think the 'lol here have an alternate me' is a crappy copout.

110. I googled it, and I did not regret. In fact, I agree very much with you, OP. Required reading indeed. Even though people may take different things from it than you did, I still think it should be required reading.

155. ... But. But. No. That is not right.

162. Oh man, Dark City. Matrix before the Matrix was real. That movie was such a mindscrew. I want to say that 'you are not alone', but I don't htink I qualify as a fan since I saw the Matrix first, and then just accidentally stumbled onto this movie on latenight television.

[zidane.livejournal.com]

147. I have not seen that movie, but Tom Selleck in an adventure flick? I'm so there! Mmm. Tomm Selleck.

162. Dark City is fucking awesome, okay.

166. O Hyadain ♥

173. [tl;dr politics but this American agrees with your smalltext]

174. Yes we wouldn't want to ruin the purity of the artform that is weekly shonen manga. Or whatever.

162

[obnoxdwfanbrat.livejournal.com]

Yes. Yes it is.

[autumnrain]

141- Oh goodness, that is so absolutely PERFECT.

143- Her eyes creep me out, too, but I actually really warmed to her over the show and after a while, I stopped noticing them. But I can see where you're coming from, they're creepy.
