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.

- Last movie:

Er, the last one I saw that I had much, much love for was Boa Vs Python. Because it's totally and completely cheesy, and has big snakes fighting it out in the sewers. And it had David Hewlett! And a bad guy who rips off his shirt for no good reason whatsoever!

And also Constantine. Which surprised the hell out of me because I thought I'd hate it. but I didn't. Even if Keanu Reeves is in no way, shape or form John Constantine, I still really enjoyed the movie.

As for movies I hate. I only actually hate two movies: Mary Poppins and The Sound of Music. I used to think I had Julie Andrews issues, but no, it's just that those movies make me want to spork my eyes out.

- Fic / Pairing:

Yes! People much write Atlantis/X-Files crosovers and give me Rodney McKay/Alex Krycek porn. Because it would be hot and melt my brain. In fact, Rodney could work for the Agency from Once A Thief, because that has Nick Lea in it. And Rodney's Canadian, and see it would work!!

- Favourite icon:

Er, I like a lot of them, it's why I have them *snerk* *makes choice quickly* This one! Because it's a kitten wearing a hat. And in every single universe there possible is, you can't go wrong with a kitten in a woolly hat.

- Season finale:

Oz. Because a hell of a lot of them die, and Toby finally gets some kind of closure. Although Chris dying *kills* me.

Angel. Because, although Wes dying rips out my heart, it's the right ending for the show.

- Moment:

The bit in the Highlander episode 'To Be', where Joe starts singing Stand By Me. Because it's Joe, and it's so wrongly fucked up that it's perfect.

- Fandom shame:

I don't actually think I have any deep fandom shames. It's all pretty much out there. Once I get past the 'my ship for one of my shows is a guy and a really big worm,' I can get past anything ;-)

- Upcoming movie:

Serenity. Underworld: Revolution. I liked Underworld, so I'm looking forward to this one, too :-D

- Best character in Simpsons:

I don' really watch it, but I'd have to say the comic book guy. I've known that guy. Hell, I've *been* that guy. (But withou the shorts and the beard ;-)

- Obscure character love:

Pete Wisdom in the X-Men universe. And El Blanco from Tremors. And Beckett from the Vampire: The Masquerade novels. I have much love for Beckett. The main reason I got the Gangrel clan logo tattooed on my shoulder was Beckett. (And I like the design, but Beckett!)

- Rare fandoms:

I'd kill for some new, good Tremors fic. And I'd kinda like some good Fastlane fic. And some CSI: Miami Horatio/Speed fic that isn't OOC for either of them.

:-D

I expected to loathe Constantine. How disappointed I was to enjoy it, my year or so of pre-emptively mocking Keanu coming to naught.

Aww, kitten in a mitten!

I know! I spent months grumbling about it and then walked out going 'Damn, I actually liked that.' 'Twas most disappointing. And it made me want to read Hellblazer from the beginning *g*
