I am so excited to buy Platinum! I just wish it was going to be out for my birthday on the tenth. But I can handle a belated gift to myself. I love every generation and have loved seeing how they keep the basic awesome gameplay and adding new twists and details. Pokemon is a great game that just keeps getting better!

Oh! I know! My birthday isn't until May...

Usually I pass on the third game in a generation because I'm cheap and don't have the cash to buy the same game I have plus a little more... But it really looks like they've stepped it up with Platinum and can't wait to get it!

156. Completely agreed. I've never gotten the "we are good, THEY ARE THE DEVIL" mindset.

160. If somebody doesn't want to drive or own a car and can get around on their own feet/buses/whatever, more power to them, but I always feel like not getting the LICENSE is just asking for trouble. It's like not bothering to learn CPR in Health Class.

104. Haha, I think about half the SPN fandom would agree with you there.
~~but they really are sekrit!lovers~~

140. Watchmen made Time Magazine's "Top 100 Novels," so obviously someone thought it was good. I mean, for a COMIC BOOK to get placed with novels like Lolita or A Clockwork Orange...? I'd say you are in the very small minority for thinking it's overrated.

Which is probably why the OP felt the need to keep it a secret.

108 - lol

140 - neh, to each his/her own. I wouldn't worry about it. :)

144 - AMEN. THANK YOU FOR THIS SECRET. 100% true.

154 - I don't read fic anymore, but you should also acknowledge that THE SHOW ITSELF seemed to forget pretty often that Shep has dark srs issues.

164 - I was with you until "faggot". >:( NOT cool.

Good point. And it's true but that doesn't make it less annoying that fandom as a whole, well fanfiction as a whole rather, because we have as a group tend to keep these things in mind more.... consistently than the PTB.

I wonder the same thing!

FAIL. I am a real AUTHOR, am published with a publishing company and my books aren't physical--they're ebooks.

FAIL, FAIL, FAIL.

On top of which, I write fanfic too. And given that connections in fandom are how I got published to begin with, I will accuse you of epic snobbery.

Get published, then we'll talk, "Writer-not-author". :P

Also, way to go with the epic homophobia/gay slur. Jealous much of "real writers/authors"?

Edited 2009-03-01 22:08 (UTC)

It's just a troll looking for a response

That or an author who's pissed that fanfic writers are writing better fanfic than the original source *coughStephanieMeyercough*

108. I haven't even seen the movie, but what. :|

131. Craig!Bond doesn't just win, he kills the competition.

140. I'm not into the Watchmen fandom, but I've read the book back in the early 90's when I was a preteen and I have been loving it since. It blew me away because it was unlike any other thing I had read so far. And that's exactly the impact it had on comics (especially American/superhero ones) when it came out. You're entitled to not liking it, to each their own, etc., but the comics you read today would be very different or wouldn't exist altogether without Watchmen. Btw complaining that it's "just" 12 issues? What's the point? It would probably have been even shorter if it depended on Moore, it's a self contained graphic novel, not something meant to go on ad infinitum.

156. Well, this kind of meta is actually interesting when it's well thought and constructive IMO, which thankfully is what I get in my corners of fandom. It's a matter of measure, like in everything else. On the other hand, when I first learned about the Bechdel test I thought of all the films/books that wouldn't pass it but that still look pretty awesome to me, and the awesome won. I mean, the test points to a real issue, but I'm not depriving myself of otherwise good fiction just because of it.

158. Damn, I'm not into the SW fandom but now I want to read that fic. Obviously my siblingcest kink is not a secret.

au·thor
Pronunciation:\ˈȯ-thər\
Function: noun
1 a: one that originates or creates : the source (software authors)(film authors) (the author of this crime)
2: the writer of a literary work (as a book)

ENGLISH, learn it, faggot

I feel ya.

I loved Firefly, but I think that if it continued for many seasons, the magic would be lost, and I rather like it the way it is.

108 - Right. Movie preferences = serious business.

115 - Why would it make the ending creepy? She renounced her evil ways, he's obviously forgiven her...

129 - Nice boots. (How can he walk in them? O_o)

147 - ...Tom Cruise is on the right.... right?

116. Would you be so kind as to direct me to a video of this epicness?

139. YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSS! God, yes. I dragged him around all over the place and made him fall and then just made him stand there and he's HOT.

http://vids.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=vids.individual&VideoID=52700238

...are you my grandmother?

144. THIS. SO MUCH THIS.

Oh god, I love you so, so much.

This movie was amazing. And what REALLY pisses me off is that most people who say they "hate" the movie...haven't seen it. How can you say you hate something without ever having tried it? And it's not like the fandom or squeeing fangirls can put you off it - we're pretty minimal.

Oh, Speed Racer ♥

AMEN!

I shake my head at the people who hate the movie. I mean, good GOD it's not suppose to be the next TDK (or... whatever), it's Speed Racer.

Regardless, I enjoyed it massively, and since it's release, it's been my go-to comfort movie. :3

I think you can have a good character (which I think he is), without him being a good person. Part of the appeal that he's a well constructed character, and not because he's charming.

He isn't a well-constructed character as much as he is an enjoyable character. His personality is that of a force-of-nature plot-device rather than some kind of actually well-written personality but he is also very fun to watch because he is like Graham and the writers never try to take him seriously unlike the more boring Ribbons or MORALLY GREY BUT TOTALLY LAME A-Laws.

160. Most of us in NYC won't have a driver's license when we graduate college. But then again, we don't need one to get around.

122. - For serious that song makes me weepy.
137. - Oh, I totally get it. I've felt exactly as you've said before. I just kinda try to, ya know, push it out of my mind. Like, forget I ever read it.
148. - I had never heard of the Aquabats until I watched Yo Gabba Gabba - but I get you, they're funny and fun. They make me happy too.

YOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
GABBA
GABBAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!

117. Sirius would have been a good father figure if he'd spent more time with Harry, even though he disowned his entire family and therefore had much less of a relationship with his father than Harry did with any other strong male in his life? How peculiar.

Harry had Sirius, Lupin, Mr Weasley, and Dumbledore. I don't think he was really at a lack for people he could go to for fatherly advice.

Hell, Harry seemed to be the one who had to give fatherly ~~kick-in-the-ass~~ advice.

You are mistaken, anon. They do not make everything better. They make everything super rad.

God, nothing beats a nice, healthy rock out to "Awesome Forces!"

HNNNNNGHHHHH BAD JOKE. D:

Trufax, this. Especially the last bit.

^123. Sorry, all.

117. The world is full of men who had horrible or no father figures, who turn out to be pretty good fathers themselves.

123. ....I....missed that one, somehow.

134. *hug* It's okay.

135. Trust me, it's okay.

164. ...how does that make them a faggot?

164. * Sorry, I meant to put that in quotes. OP's word, not mine.

What?! John being given characterization beyond "hot, in love with Rodney and eager to please him?" BUT THAT'S MADNESS. :/

160 - I feel ya. If I get into this doctoral program I'm applying to, I'll have to learn to drive to get there, because it's just not happening otherwise. But I've done just fine without one, because I live in a place with good mass transit (well, widespread, at least, the "good" is dubious).
