The Semi-Annual delurking/tell Doyle things/help me procrastinate, bitches Post

Anybody feel like delurking? Or pretending to lurk so you can delurk and comment?


I would like to know any of the following: (unnumbered since I don't expect people to answer them all)
- what's the last movie you saw that you really loved or really hated?
- is there a fic/pairing/scenario/cracked out AU, in any fandom or crossover, that plainly needs to be written but so far hasn't, to your great distress?
- show off your favourite icon.
- what's your favourite season finale of any show ever? Feel free to spoil me.
- if there's a TV/movie/book moment that just gets to you, whether to make you bawl your eyes out or fall about laughing, tell me about it. (*) (Note that this is a footnote mark, not a single pierced nipple boobicon.)
- confess your deep fandom shame. It's good for the soul.
- what upcoming movie/TV show/book/comic/whatever are you excited about? (I think we'll take Serenity as a given...)
- who's the best character in The Simpsons? This would be a poll if I weren't lazy. (It's Reverend Lovejoy, of coure, but I would also accept Sideshow Mel or the gestalt entity Carl-and-Lenny.)
- obscure character love yay! Who needs the love, in any fandom?
- and speaking of obscure, tell me what rare fandoms you have, or what you'd like to see good fic for.

(*) My emotionally crippling moments: I mentioned this when miggy did her meme a few weeks back, but the Simpsons episode Lisa's Substitute tears me up every single time. Argh, the note, "this is everything you need to know" and it just says "you are Lisa Simpson." I have to watch that episode every time it's on TV. I own it on DVD, I've seen it maybe 30 times, but if it's on TV I'm compelled to sit and watch for that one moment.

And don't get me started on Lilo and Stitch, because then my rampant immaturity will be out there for all the world to see.

ETA: I'm off to bed so if you don't get an immediate response, remember your hitchhiker's guide advice and don't panic. I'll be answering these tomorrow. But keep your towel on standby just in case.

::delurks::

- what's the last movie you saw that you really loved or really hated?

Hm. I kind of hated The Poseidon Adventure with a firey passion. "I, Gene Hackman, am a Great Man. Therefore everyone else sucks, and you should follow me!" He was as bad as William Shatner and Charleton Heston. Ugh.

I re-watched Lost in Translation and loved it all over again.

- is there a fic/pairing/scenario/cracked out AU, in any fandom or crossover, that plainly needs to be written but so far hasn't, to your great distress?

::thinks hard::
I don't read much fic anymore. There should be Jonathan Strange and Mr. Norrell fic, though. Nothing sexual. I'd just love to read more of that 'verse. I guess that's not very cracktastic. I kinda dig canon pairings.

- show off your favourite icon.
I love all my icons. DONT MAKE ME CHOOSE
This is my newest pretty one. It says dong(3) ma(5)?, which means, "Do you understand?" They say it in Firefly all the time.

- what's your favourite season finale of any show ever? Feel free to spoil me.

I have such a bad memory re: pop culture. I don't remember much before a couple of years ago, unless I really go fishing in the back of my brain. Therefore, I am saying that the Firefly season finale was pretty kickass. Actually, the Star Trek: Next Generation one was awesome as well.

- if there's a TV/movie/book moment that just gets to you, whether to make you bawl your eyes out or fall about laughing, tell me about it. (*) (Note that this is a footnote mark, not a single pierced nipple boobicon.)

Dancer in the Dark leaves me totally debilitated. I've cried in all the original Star Wars movies. American Beauty, Shawshank Redemption, The Lion King, White Fang -- TONS of movies make me cry.
Laugh? The Aristocrats made me hurt from laughing so hard. So did God of Cookery (by and starring the same guy who made Shaolin Soccer).

- confess your deep fandom shame. It's good for the soul.

I like reasonably well-written Mary Sue fic.

- what upcoming movie/TV show/book/comic/whatever are you excited about? (I think we'll take Serenity as a given...)

Veronica Mars season 2. Battlestar Galactica on Friday. New Doctor Who in December. Goblet of Fire, whenever that comes out.

- obscure character love yay! Who needs the love, in any fandom?

Cho Chang. Martian Man Hunter.

- and speaking of obscure, tell me what rare fandoms you have, or what you'd like to see good fic for.

I think that goes under the Jonathan Strange and Mr. Norrell answer. I've been into 19th-century lit lately, so anything in that style would be cool. And I'd love to read Justice League Unlimited fic, actually. I haven't gone looking for it.

He was as bad as William Shatner and Charleton Heston. Ugh.

Maybe I'm overtired, but my brain went to a SHatner/Heston RPS place, and now I will never be clean again.

My housemate marymac has a copy of Jonathan Strange and Mr. Norrell in her room; I must remember to steal it.

Cho Chang. Martian Man Hunter.

OTP! (It honestly just took me about three minutes to realise you meant J'Onn J'Onzz and not Marvin the Martian from the Bugs Bunny cartoons.)

That's a gorgeous icon.

I love the green guy. His powers rock. Admittedly, Flash is my favorite, but M.M.H. is 2nd. And then Wonderwoman.

Ooh, that's something else I'm stoked about: whenever Joss gets his ass in gear and writes Wonderwoman, I'll be very excited!

Did I delete the Simpsons question? WTF? Me on crack.

My favorite Simpsons character is Mr. Burns.
Mr. B: "Oh, and one more thing. You must find the jade monkey before the next full moon."
S: "Actually sir, we found the jade monkey. It was in your glove compartment."
Mr. B: "And the road maps, and ice scraper?"
S: "They were in there, too, sir."
Mr. B: "Eeexcellent. It's all falling into place."

Oh god, the scene with the flying monkeys makes me die with laughter every time I see it. "Continue with the research."

I would happily watch the Simpsons if it was all Mr. Burns and Reverend Lovejoy. With guestage from Bumblebee Man.
