Anyone watchong?

I am!

I've enjoyed Slovenia, Austria, and "That's How You Write A Song".

Yep, just like every year. Only this time I'm following the live stream on YouTube. That way I don't have to deal with the super annoying German commentator. *g*

No. I blacklisted it on Tumblr because some people I follow will be posting and reblogging constantly about it until it is over.

It was this week? GAAAHHH that's the third year in a ROW I have fucking missed it. They don't announce it here in the states so now that I work more hours I forget to look up the dates.

Damn, is it tonight? I wish I was, but I'm too tired for that at the moment.

heck no

Which did you enjoy during their peak?

I loved being in HP fandom back then, but that was an exception. I'm mostly always late to the party and join after the hype.

After the hype: Breaking Bad.

I wasn't super active, but I miss X-Files fandom back in the day when there were discussions on Usenet after every episode. It was so much fun to read. :(

I am happier with the Teen Wolf fandom now because it seems like Stiles/Derek fic is less overwhelming.

IDK if this qualifies, but I had a much easier time with The 100 than most people entirely because I started binging it after That One Scene That Pissed Off Most Of The Fandom & its fallout happened, since I was prepared for it, lowered my expectations accordingly & could enjoy the romance (for what it was) a hell of a lot more than if I hadn't known.

Almost every anime applies here.

Buffy. Tolkien fandom is nicer since the movie-only fans have either left or gone their separate ways.

Who would you like to see cast in your dream projects, or adaptations of your favs, or hypothetical remakes of old favs?

there used to be a cartoon in the 60s called the mighty heroes, which was a superhero spoof way before the Tick or the Venture Bros. with all the superhero movies, there needs to be a spoof superhero movie that's actually funny, not the Friedberg Seltzer bullshit. (Anyway if they can make a Peabody and Sherman movie, they can make a movie out of any cartoon.) The one snag was all their cartoons had a basic pattern. First half=they get in eachother's way and generally fuck things up. Second half-they straighten things out and work together as a team. This works fine for a cartoon short but would be really hard to pad out to a whole movie.
the team consisted of the following characters. I have included in parentheses my ideas for what actors I'd like.

Strongman=basically Superman except more of a dimwit and had a hillbilly accent, basically who you'd get even if you combined Supes with Little Abner
Ropeman=could turn into rope and tie up bad guys or lasso stuff he needed. Tall skinny guy with big chin. Erudite, sometimes sounded British. Tended to get tangled up.( Hugh Laurie, obviously besides I think he needs to get back into comedy)
Tornadoman=Short squat weather reporter, could turn into a tornado. (Danny Devito)
Diaperman= Hyperintelligent baby, raspy voice. The smartest character (street smart rather than book smart like Ropeman, the brains of the outfit) threw his baby bottle at bad guys. Could fly. If they had made the cartoon later he'd probably throw the contents of his diaper at bad guys.
Cuckooman=useless but amusingly goofy. tended to fuck up the mission most often. Fell out of windows a lot, could only sort of fly by flapping his arms really really fast. Had a whole bird theme going. Very nerdy. (Greg Proops would work in this role if you allowed him to be more of a smart ass.)

In no particular order:

1) butter, cinnamon sugar
2) butter, then dipped into a runny egg yolk
3) mashed avocado with salt, pepper, garlic powder and lime juice

You?
