Yes, I adore that movie! Granted, it's mostly the history geek in me, but Nick Cage is pretty awesome too.

My issue is that they made her funny in one of the most despised and harmful female stereotypes. Seriously, you can't really defend that.

I kinda wish that they had made her a over-the-top tomboy. You know, spitting, no feminine charm, etc. At least that would have had a slight amount of her old character in it, and it's not like we are lacking in more traditionally feminine hilarious characters (like the Granny, for instance).

I just think that the stereotype of the HILARIOUS female stalker is old and stupid. So, yeah. I like the Lola better... especially considering that cliche wasn't old or overused at the time they made it. *shrugs* She was fun. And they couldn't flesh her out in a movie that wasn't even about her. I mean, all the other characters had years to build their personality. She had one movie that was focused on a star basketball player.

For the most part, folks are solely raggin' on the new design. Which, in comparison to old Lola, is fairly hideous. I, personally, didn't assume anything about her personality from that picture. I just thought 'gross'. Anyone else with complaints, seem to have seen the show, and maybe they are in fact all donning 'nostalgia-goggles'. But the people who haven't watched this new Looney Tunes aren't saying much more than 'ugly new design'. Which it is, at least in that still shot. Maybe she's better in motion.

I will never understand fandom's need to hate on this girl. Sure, she's done some questionable things, but the show is about people being pushed to desperately do fuck-up things to protect the people they love. It's not about thrilling heroics or rising above the darkness or anything like that. TVD is a show about falling from grace and Elena is going that magnificently.

I hate these sorts of secrets because they are so vague and tenuously attached to fandom. :/

(Anonymous) 2012-01-15 11:45 pm (UTC)(link)
That whole show is just generally bad. I wasn't expecting the same quality as the original or anything, but man, it's not even close.

i can't stop staring at the new version

her eyelashes

wtf is wrong with her eyelashes

it's like

deadly weapons sprouting from her eyes

like her eyeballs are armed with daggers instead of eyelashes

wtf

This is the reason Face/Off is one of my favorite movies. Cray Cray Nicolas Cage at his best.

His general over-the-top-ness is a lot more tolerable in movies with improbable explosions. Adaptation made me want to throw things, but I enjoyed him in Kick-Ass, for example - and his performance in Adaptation seemed to get slightly better (although not enough to make the movie actually enjoyable for me) when the reality level started slipping.

I'd have Ice-T as Holmes and it would be amazing.

Yep, all of this. ♥

OMG I thought I was the only one! Everyone on my friends list and tumblr keeps going on about how amazing BBC!Sherlock is...but I just can't get into it. The mysteries are fun, but that's about the only thing I like about it. I'd much rather watch Jude Law and Robert Downey Jr. being idiots together than have to sit through another episode of Sherlock.

Your first paragraph, yes. That. Actually, your whole comment.

I was actually pretty pleased with that whole thing. I would have been pissed if they ended her with actually crying because she suddenly realized she really did want a family (since, you know, that's what real women want). Instead, she was happy and just upset about the choice being taken away from her.

Yes, it's him and his wife.

I like the guy, he's very talented!

Some instruments, while as difficult as anything else to get really good at, are pretty easy to learn enough on to just jam (*points at icon*), and going to open sessions is a good way to meet friends.

As someone who has lived with a relative for years who has OCD (among other things) who only recently went on medication - yes. Yes yes yes.

I know meds aren't for everyone, but they really are a life changer. My brother is so freakin' happy now it's ridiculous. And pre-meds he was a lot like Sheldon.

But then, people don't like to watch happy characters. So there's that.

True story: this is my very favorite rendition of this song. Sometimes I queue it up on youtube just to sing along :)

(Anonymous) 2012-01-15 11:57 pm (UTC)(link)
Both are the same shit tho.

BTW hate how they feel the need to pair up every Looney Tunes character as of late.

And they made Porky's mate a thin pig.

Me too, anon, me too!

Because the original was not a female stereotype at all...

It's a tough choice to make. I'm glad you found stories that can help you through it. Good luck!

the whole show looks like that:
