"Just Don't Know What it is..."

[psalm_onethirtyone]

Maria: So it's kind of a weird episode, right, there are all these planetary ambassadors and some of them are really disturbing.
Soujin: Oh?
Maria: Yeah, this one looks like a pig but with soulless pits where its eyes should be. I think I'll have nightmares about it.
Soujin: Oh, come on, you love pigs. How bad can it OH HOLY JESUS IT'S LIKE LOOKING INTO A BLACK HOLE OF PUPPY MURDERS
Maria: (with her hands over her eyes) I told you so, didn't I.

[Spock is basically totally unconcerned that Hyde!Kirk has attempted to rape Yeoman Rand]
Soujin: Spock, you suck.
Maria: He can't help it. Vulcans are desensitised. It happens to them every time they get a firm handshake.

LOL FOR-EVER, flist. I cannot stop giggling every time I see this article or references thereto. Unfortunately, I can't make the poll results load on this computer, so someone please tell me whether Sherlock Holmes is gay or not.

Meme I stole off gileonnen:

I want you to ask me something you think you should know about me. Something that you think should be obvious, but you have no idea about. I promise true answers.

If I shipped Spock/McCoy, which I do, I would have to say that Mirror, Mirror is one of the best episodes ever to use in a ship manifesto. "No! We can't leave evil, beardy Spock here to die! I'll save him, even if that means I get stuck in a parallel universe for-ever in which everybody wears sparkly uniforms!" "McCoy, no! We've got to go!" "Not until I save Spock!" [Spock is saved] "Dr., I'm going to mind-meld with you. It will be disturbingly sexy."

Also they're making a Gunsmoke movie. Hold me.

*GASP* Women! Going to see Robert Downey Jr. and Jude Law making out! Especially in a steampunkish adaptation of a great detective classic! Never!

I've already booked my tickets. Yes. Tickets.

[rainbowjehan.livejournal.com]

Ikr? Maria and I saw the trailer in the theatre and turned to each other at the same moment and said "WE'RE SEEING THAT". Less for the making out than for Robert Downey Jr. being INSANE, but it's not like Watson/Holmes isn't TOTALLY OBVIOUS. I mean, come on.

Woo!

[gileonnen.livejournal.com]

Basically, I saw the explosions and the steampunk aesthetic and decided that it is mine. I don't care if it's silly--LXG was silly, and I adored it. (And I'm frankly unconcerned about whether the film picks up on the totally-obvious Watson/Holmes. Give me sufficient explosions, corsets, brawls, and snark, and I am already quite satisfied.)

[reconditarmonia.livejournal.com]

I too am excited about the film but (from trailer) wtf female love interest for Holmes? IRENE ADLER IS NOT AMUSED.

(oh LXG. Is the film actually terrible? Because I just read the book and loved it despite that incredibly unspeakably squicky bit in part two. Alan Moore is brilliant.)

[rainbowjehan.livejournal.com]

(It is delicious, and nowhere near is mind-numbingly bleak as the original comic series. It's also not very accurate to it.)

[reconditarmonia.livejournal.com]

(Ffffff I like the original series. I like bleak - V for Vendetta is one of my favorite books, for heaven's sake, and that's really bleak. To say nothing of non-Moore things like King Lear.)

[rainbowjehan.livejournal.com]

(I hate bleakness in my entertainment. Reading anything by Allan Moore depresses me beyond all reason--V for Vendetta, Watchmen, League. Bleh. So I appreciate that the movie made it madcap fun, which I will take any day.)

[gileonnen.livejournal.com]

I don't remember enough about the trailer--is it even vaguely possible she's supposed to be Irene Adler?

(The film's ... what it is. It's basically a great big technologically anachronistic steampunk romp with slightly lame humor and uneven casting and somewhat rough pacing and a rather vaguely defined villain and lots of explosions. If you can forgive those things--or if you're like me, and they're your bread and butter--then it's a perfectly serviceable film. Which is still one of my favorites, and I don't care what anyone says, lalala~)

[reconditarmonia.livejournal.com]

It didn't look likely, but I guess one never knows.

(Mm, maybe I can bring myself to see it. I refuse to see V for Vendetta though, laaaa.)

[rainbowjehan.livejournal.com]

I like my movies fun, in that way where when you're in the theatre you enjoy the hell out of them, and afterwards you may notice things that give you qualms, but not until afterwards. The experience itself is pure exhilarating FUN.

Yeah. I swore off enriching films some time last year.

[gileonnen.livejournal.com]

XD I still like a little enrichment with my film, but seriously, I prefer an action-comedy. Maybe a mystery-action-comedy.

[rainbowjehan.livejournal.com]

I agree. Also creature feature horror. Yes PLEASE.

meme the first

[mhari.livejournal.com]

britannia!Gary.

Re: meme the first

[rainbowjehan.livejournal.com]

Ohhh man.

1. Gary had never actually had sex before Mike. Between his antisocial nature and the fact that he had the hygeine of your average homeless man, romantic encounters were not really par for the course.

2. His metabolism, due to having been killed by malnutrition, is very slow. Nevertheless, he is always incredibly hungry after sex. Which he thinks is kind of embarrassing, because there you are doing your post-coital snuggling and all of a sudden your stomach growls loudly. And then you facepalm.

3. He doesn't actually like girls, and slept with Cecilia pretty much purely out of spite. Lame.

[tinyammmy]

...I just totally died about the firm handshake thing.

[rainbowjehan.livejournal.com]

Mama and I both looked at her and went "...wait, did you just... OH GOD."

[erinpuff]

OH HOLY JESUS IT'S LIKE LOOKING INTO A BLACK HOLE OF PUPPY MURDERS

Is this "Journey to Babel"? Because YES THAT IS ONE CREEPY RUBBERFACEALIEN.

[rainbowjehan.livejournal.com]

Yes, that is EXACTLY what it is. Holy lord those guys were CREEPY.

[raanve]

When last I checked, 68% of poll respondents said YES.

[rainbowjehan.livejournal.com]

Sweeeeeet.

[josiana.livejournal.com]

Um, first meme, Bossuet I suppose? Since he's the only one I knowww. >_>

And um, for the second meme: How may siblings do you have? ;_; Sorry, I'm a terrible person.

And you're totally correct about Mirror, Mirror. >____>;;

[rainbowjehan.livejournal.com]

Okay. This was hard. XD

1. He's not a very noisy person in bed. Whereas some people (SAGRAMORE COUGH) are kind of into talking, Bossuet tends to shut up and concentrate.
2. Joly is one of the few people he's ever been interested in sexually.
3. In fact, his interest in Musichetta is--really weird. Except that he needs her and Joly very much, because they make him feel honest even when he's not.

And! I have four. Three sisters and a brother. :D

[josiana.livejournal.com]

I'm sorry. ;___________________; Thank you, though.

Oh, that makes sense. ^^

[perculious.livejournal.com]

I want you to ask me something you think you should know about me. Something that you think should be obvious, but you have no idea about. I promise true answers.

Oh my God I'm so glad you did this meme because there is something that I need to ask you that's one of those things where the longer you leave it the more embarrassing it gets to ask. And it is: what should I call you? I'm pretty sure we've both outgrown the nicknames we used to call each other but neither Soujin nor your real name comes easily to me. But if you want me to call you either of those things I will.

Also, I second the LOL FOREVER on that article. Especially the part about how women don't want to see Jude Law and RDJ make out. I'm so psyched for the movie, by the way. Everyone's saying that an American Holmes is an abomination but I think they've failed to notice that it looks AWESOME.

[rainbowjehan.livejournal.com]

Soujin! Really. Is what people call me IRL as well as on the internets, it's gotten pretty normal. I actually have the same problem with you--should I call you Laney now or is it something different?

oh God, seriously, who wouldn't go for that? Also, fffft. The movie is not exactly going for accuracy, OBVIOUSLY, so just roll with it. That is my opinion.

[the-chloroplast.livejournal.com]

I remember that episode. With the antenna of fake, right?

Yeah, the belligerent pig-things are made out of the creepy remnants of all the creepy left over from the forging of the universe. They're like...they're like Klingons, only less (o god I can't believe I'm writing this) logical.

[rainbowjehan.livejournal.com]

Yess! That's the one.

XD They're like Klingons, only O HOLY GOD SELF-DESTRUCT.
