Name the fandom. And repeats, etc.

#15 - a repeat?

[fenm]

I think #15 is a repeat.

Aww, Aragorn WOULD make a good father. I can see why you'd want someone like him as a father. (Now I feel like looking for daddy!Aragorn fic.)

I still want to sleep with him, though. ...Or at least watch Arwen do it, whatever.

...I have no idea who is supposed to be triggered by that word. Die-hard vegans? Sounds like you'll be happier not reading their posts in the future.

We all have different tastes and experiences with fandom. If what you're doing is enjoyable to you, then you're indeed 'doing it right'.

REDWAAALLL!

*ahem*

In the later books, there was a little species and morality blending, but never as much as I would have liked.

BUT...Tagg/Deyna was raised by the Juskawrath and /somehow/ managed to avoid killing goodbeasts (apparently, I forget) and his journey was about self discovery and Veil was outcasted....

I need to go read these again, my details are a little sketchy.

1. It's not fair to judge someone just because they don't spend enough time in fandom to know about such things.

2. Funny, I'd have gone the other way around, and said you can definitely know they have crap taste in books, but everything else is a bit too out-there for you to deduce. I suppose that's why it's a secret.

So... underneath all that ranting, I think the point was that it's unfair to kick assholes out of your fandoms because then they'll go somewhere else and still be assholes?

I'm not even sure how to respond until I know what you're saying.

Not really related to the topic OP, but why did you use a Akali's art?

A "but I'm not really gay" at the end of a slash story is kinda dumb, I agree. But if the story's good, I'd just ignore the author being an idiot.

I know what you mean OP. Old characters who look young due to some science/magic shenanigans are especially interesting, though then I start to wonder if it's creepy to ship them with another character that's obviously waaaay younger...

Eh, lots of other people read it because their teacher/college professor made them, or their friend told them to. There are worse things to do under peer pressure.

This rant will renew the Whedon-fans' fatwa on me, but I don't give two tugs of a dead dog's cock

[dethtoll]

Alien Resurrection is an absolute abortion of a film and a leading example of why Joss Whedon is one of the worst writers in Hollywood. He needs to stop fucking writing everything like it's a comic book. It is not good writing. It is not funny. It is not witty. He is a hack who should never have been allowed near the Alien franchise. The man can't write dialogue to save his life. His script for Alien Resurrection is like a bad fanfiction. It does have a few good parts, but it escalates way, way too quickly. The first three movies have always been about the slow buildup of tension and suspense. Even Aliens, far more actiony than its prequel or sequel, built tension to an almost unbearable point. Alien Resurrection is basically the movie equivalent of premature ejaculation, and you're left wondering "what the fuck just happened?" But its biggest problem is the dialogue. It's horrible. There are too many characters and they all end up sounding the same, which is basically true of nearly anything Whedon creates because of his fetish for ensemble casts.

Whedon once said he likes to cast actors who can do comedy because he believes comedy to be harder than drama, and so if they can do comedy... Anyway he's wrong and he should feel bad, because the comedy ain't fucking funny and with the exception of Christie (who is the only black character in the movie and therefore is gonna die) the only characters even worth remembering are the ones who make it all the way to the end. But the biggest crime is the Newborn.

Oh my GOD the Newborn. The concept itself is kind of apocalyptically stupid but could've gone over better if it didn't feel so tacked on, not appearing or even being hinted at until the last third of the movie. Sometimes a sudden appearance can work (such as the Queen in Aliens), but in this case it didn't, it failed horribly. The scene where they introduce it is singularly awful- possibly the worst scene in the whole movie. If the scientist hadn't taken on the ridiculous "THIS IS RIPLEY'S GIFT TO HER" horseshit and just kept on mumbling scientifically I would have liked that scene a lot more. But no, he actually fucking says, "you are a beautiful beautiful butterfly." I puked in my mouth a little.

The directing is equally bad. Never let a Frenchman direct a horror film. Jean-Pierre Jeunet's directing is flatout fucking terrible and only compounds the problems caused by the shitty script. The tone he brings to the film is all over the place: wait here it's serious, wait now it's a surreal comedy, now it's serious again, no wait it's a bad 80s action flick, wait now it's a comedy again. One thing in particular he did that irritated me to the point where I gritted my teeth every time he did it was when he zoomed in on people's faces at odd angles during what were supposed to be emotional moments. All it really did was show how overacted the scenes were and resemble a college student film thesis.

I'll be honest, I did like the setting somewhat. It was kind of a cross between the interior of the Nostromo from Alien with the grittiness of the colony buildings in Aliens. But I wasn't happy with the alien hive at all. The hive in Aliens was smooth and almost skeletal. In Alien Resurrection it reminded me of those horrible tentacle rape .gifs you used to see on the internet back in the day.

There's a few parts I did like: Gary Dourdan, Ron Perlman, watching Ripley rip out an alien jaw, the bit from the director's cut where they show her the pictures of a little girl and she cries (why this was taken out of the theatrical version is beyond me, because it adds depth to the character that's largely absent otherwise.) I also liked the underwater scene and the director's cut ending. But overall? This movie could've been so much better if it had a different script, a different director, a different plot, a different and smaller cast, and was basically not this movie.

And no fucking Newborn.

However, if Joss Whedon were to catch fire right now for his horrible horrible script, I think that would make the movie so much better because I could enjoy it in the knowledge that if nothing else, Joss Whedon died in a fire for this terrible movie.

Fuck Joss Whedon and fuck this movie.

I AGREE.

I love Sophie and Dobby, but some of the stuff they do to women in this show is borderline uncomfortable to me (the "lol male rape" storyline comes to mind).
