Which media did you have a reaction to that was definitely not what you were supposed to? Laughing at sad scenes, crying during happy scenes, etc.

Re: Based on 6

When my group of friends and I went to see Step-Up 2, I got made fun of for crying throughout chunks of that movie.
Also cried at the end of Shrek 2. I think I was going through a very cry-at-everything time of my life.

I think I'm supposed to find big eye little mouth anime characters attractive. I have a massive uncanny valley reaction to them instead.

The ferris wheel scene in Netflix’s Death Note had me dying of laughter. Pretty sure I wasn’t supposed to laugh at a character’s death.

Season 1 of Titans with the background story ep for Hank and Dawn, I was not meant to burst out laughing at the death of her mom and his friend but it was so sudden and so comical I was in a fit of giggles after. Also in the same ep after they beat up a pedo and Dawn was IMMEDIATELY down to fuck I started laughing hysterically, like they were both meant to be serious moments but the writing completely undermined it by doing the most wack-ass things during or after. I am only so strong man.

Oh I had to stop myself from laughing my ass off in the cinema while watching the second nu!Trek movie because Spock's 'Khaaaaaan!!' was so utterly hilarious to me. There was no build up and the delivery was so fucking bad I found it funny instead of sad.

We almost got thrown out of the theatre when we went to see Troy. We were college students at the time, and we went to a college that required everyone, even transfer students, to attend a specific class that included The Illiad on it's required reading list. So we had already studied the shit out of that poem.

The movie... did not hold up. So we were laughing about the inaccuracies and all that when we were approached by an usher. The only other people in the theatre, a middle aged couple wearing very upper middle class clothes, thought we were being disruptive and not actually watching the movie. We told the usher we were laughing at the movie because it was funny, and he left ('cause what was he supposed to do with that?). After the movie was over, we made sure to loudly talk about the inaccuracies and quoted the poem until the couple were out of the room.

Oh man, I burst out laughing when they started singing in that musical Grey's Anatomy episode (which began in the aftermath of a horrible car accident with a gravely injured main character was being treated). I just could not believe it, it was such a bizarre choice for how and when to do a musical episode.

For years I genuinely thought The Lighthouse was a comedy. Watched it three times and it just got funnier and funnier.

I think the last episode of Blood-C was supposed to be horrifying but I was too busy laughing to really feel any dramatic weight whatsoever. The murder bunnies were just too over the top.

I recently read the haunting of hill house and in the middle of the book I was honestly expecting the four of them to fall into a big fuckpile

Film LoTR, Boromir's death. Not even Sean Bean could make it not funny and not cringeworthy.

I know Zendaya's dream sequence appearances in Dune were supposed to be all mysterious and shit but all I could think was "if they had cut Zendaya slow walking through weird lighting this movie woild be 20 minutes shorter". And it kept cracking me up.

My sister and I laughed our way through Disney’s Pocahontas. Way to make Captain Planet look subtle by comparison, guys.

My friend and I were laughing HYSTERICALLY while watching (fast-bus movie) Speed. My BIL entered the room, miffed, and said he didn't think it was supposed to be a comedy, and ... that was my first inkling it wasn't, in fact, supposed to be a ridiculous, hilariously stupid comedy. I mean, between the entire premise and the villain's cat-strokingly over-the-top performance, I couldn't imagine it was intended as anything else, but I guess people enjoyed it as a serious action movie??? I did enjoy it, though, just not as a serious movie in any respect.

Weekend Plans?

[kaijinscendre]

What is everyone doing this weekend?

I am going to work on some crochet projects. I am also planning a long weekend trip to Las Vegas with my sister (probably in February). So any recommendations for non-gamblers is welcome!

Re: Weekend Plans?

[(Anonymous)]

Because its 12 days after Christmas, I'm going to be taking down the decorations tomorrow. Plus I'm still looking for work and looking into finding a course that might help with finding work (mostly looking into key skills maths, but would like to look into coding too).

Re: Weekend Plans?

[philstar22]

Enjoying relaxing after a busy week. Had two court cases this week. Won my Wednesday case, my client gets to stay in the US and become a permanent resident. Lost my bond case today. But still feel good about the week.

Tomorrow getting a massage. Then taking kitty to the vet for her annual checkup/vaccines. Then taking a nice long nap. Hope to throw in a couple baths this weekend since I got a bunch of bath bombs for Christmas.

Working on a Babylon 5 rewatch.

We were already planning to clean the fridge, but now we have a threatening forecast for late next week (current forecast: low of 16 degrees and 15 inches of snow!!!) so now we will need to fill our newly cleaned fridge with two weeks worth of food, just in case. Figuring out what to eat is what we're both bad at, so it's a weekly struggle. I'm already tired just thinking about it.

As for Vegas, shows are always an option. There's a crime museum in there somewhere that I never managed to go to, and there are lots of nice tours to places outside the city (death valley, hoover dam, painted desert, etc etc).

AU tagging question

[(Anonymous)]

Would you say that Zombie AU is the same as a post-apocalyptic AU?

Also - for discussion fun - What are your favorite AUs in fanfiction?

Re: AU tagging question

[kaijinscendre]

Yes. Though, I'd tag both.

I love mob/mafia. And sugar daddy. Usually combined, lol. I like Modern AUs for some fandoms.

Re: AU tagging question

[philstar22]

I would say a Zombie AU is a type of post-apocalyptic AU. There are many different causes of an apocalypse, and zombies are only one of them.


Magic AU/superhero AU/scifi AU in mundane fandoms. Other than that, I stick to AUs that involve changing one thing in canon and exploring what might have happened differently as a result.

Re: AU tagging question

[(Anonymous)]

For the question: I would say not necessarily! Zombie AU could also be occurring during an apocalypse, or even pre-apocalypse as a herald of what's to come. A good example would be the game series Dead Rising-- the outbreaks are pretty localized and most of the world is still functioning as normal, but it's a notable enough thing that pharmaceutical companies are pushing/glamorizing a drug to combat the effects of zombification and there are gameshows revolving around mowing down as many zombies as you can lol.

Favorite AUs are definitely dependent on the canon and what I want from it, but I'm a sucker for a Battle Royale AU.

Re: AU tagging question

[meadowphoenix]

no. not even remotely. they can overlap though and often do but not inherently. but like my fandom was supernatural and you could add zombies without adding cataclysmic events pretty easily.

"what if" aus are comforting to me, but as long as the author is thoughtful i like most if not all of them.

Book readers, what and how many genres do you read?

[(Anonymous)]

Assuming you read more than one genre, that is. Do you prefer to stick with one or two genres, or do you enjoy a wide range? Are there genres you'd like to explore more? I'm curious about peoples' reading habits.
