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.

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

A Series of Unfortunate Events. Loved it. And I still haven't gotten over watching Hannibal at two in the morning that one time; I didn't think I was ever going to sleep 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?

Why oh why oh why is there not more really disturbing Holtz/Justine?
And on the AU front -- my secret hope has always been that someday, someone will write Angel/Lindsey/Lilah set in an AU Season One where Angel really couldn't refuse their offer.

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

"Home." I know, I know, seriously un-original, but... Connor! Wesley! Lilah! I'm getting all choked up just thinking about it.

- 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.)

Jayne's "chain of command" speech in "The Train Job"; Wilson's voice breaking on the word "friendship" in "Babies and Bathwater"; the scene with Daryl Hannah in the hospital in Kill Bill 1 doesn't strictly fall under either category, but it's the awesomest thing in forever, and, on the obscurity front, how about this:

The day when I can't be comforted by the plot summary of the Jacobean revenge tragedy in The Crying of Lot 49 will be the day I just give up altogether. Seriously. Funniest thing ever.

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

I will read anything, no matter how atrocious the characterization, if the sex scenes are good and the writing doesn't actually make me cry. That, and the Anne Rice thing when I was fourteen (although, in self-defense, I was fourteen...)

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

Season Two of House, of course. Brokeback Mountain. There must be others, but I'm too lazy to think of them.

- 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.)

Maggie. She looks like a little starfish in her snowsuit, and awww.

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

Cuddy, obviously. Mac, from VMars. Wash. Thessaly, from Sandman. Susan Death. Doyle (not you, the character).

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

The remake of The Manchurian Candidate needs more love. Seriously. I mean, apart from the excessively disturbing canonical incest, it's also the slashiest thing ever. Closer -- I can't believe fandom didn't jump all over that one, just for the chat-room scene alone. And someone needs to start a ficathon for pairings generated by that "twelve characters" meme.

Ohhh, yes. Such a brilliant scene.

Starfish Maggie! I so need an icon.

And someone needs to start a ficathon for pairings generated by that "twelve characters" meme.

I have sworn off them... for a bit... but that is brilliant and should happen.
