Ah, so refreshing.

[hackthis_archive]

So apparently there’s this rumor that I’m actually a nice person. This is very amusing to me.

5. What the hell up with all the goddamn crying in stories?

Since when do men/women/vampire rabbits cry over their coffee tasting shitty or somebody being mean to them? What the hell? Maybe it’s just me, but until I see it on screen I’m not buying it in fic. Unless somebody has died. Or we’re talking about Lana.


4. The inability to use the goddamn delete button.

Nobody’s standing behind you with a katana to your throat ordering you to read their story.


3. Fandom Stereotyping

Not everybody in HP is a plagiaristic pedophile.
Not everybody is SV is a mean bitch.
Not everybody in BtVS likes Spike.

This should not be earth-shattering.


2. All the goddamn bitching

This is a fandom. It is not your life. Go outside and get some air. Call your friends. Have a drink. Get laid. Walk away for a bit, you’ll feel better.


1. Entitlement

I am not required to write for you.
You are not required to read what I write.
Nobody is required to send anybody feedback, and everybody needs to get the fuck over it.

Have a nice day!



Smallville

+They played Johnny Cash. Holy mother of the man in the black. Wow.

+There are a lot of things I could point out about what happens when you lose the plot, but that’s personal and I am so not into the sharing. I will point out however, that yes, when you are certifiable, you really are convinced you’re the sanest person ever. Joseph Heller hit that one pretty much on the money, and I know there were a lot of people who were freaking out last night about how ‘shattering’ the episode was, but from a practical stand-point, for me, it was just like ‘yes, and?’ Not ‘yes, and’ in the bad way, but more in the ‘good, now we can finally get down to business’ way.

The beautiful thing about rock bottom is that you really have no place else to go.

Lex has never needed anybody else anyway. He’s just thought he did, and people who need other people are so leaving themselves open for trouble. [/the word according to me]

+Apart from all the things I refused to think about while this episode was airing I will say that Clark not immediately telling *somebody* that Lex was being drugged is an all new low. If I had a Kryptonite rosary, I’d deliver a Smackdown my damn self. It has been pointed out that there's not really anybody for Clark to tell who would listen (the Ol' DB in cahoots with the shrink. Clark abandoning his family for Lex), so you know, okay. It still smells off to me, but that could just be smell of spilt scotch. That's one way to make somebody want to kick the habit.


The O.C.

Okay, first I have to get my happy dance out the way. I should also point out that I was highly inebriated during last night’s show, so when I got on my knees and starting worshipping the telly, that was probably a very funny thing.

The Good

+ Seth in argyle. So the cutest thing ever.

+Kirsten and Sandy in all black and looking the consummate couple. Hells yes. I want Kirsten’s outfit *now*, damnit! That necklace was sharp.

+Drinking through the holidays. Oh, yes. I’ll toast to that. Slainte.

+Seth trying to find the right comic for Trey. He’s so trying to get in with the future in-laws. *adores*

+I’ll take Teresa over Marissa any goddamn day.

+Ryan as Snoopy? Priceless.

+Seth as a P.I.M.P. with Sandy trying to give him advice. Oh gods, that was a good scene.


The Bad

+Marissa and Ryan as Bonnie and Clyde. I love Bonnie and Clyde. This bastardization made me writhe in agony on the sofa.

+Why was Anna wearing a human version of a doggie sweater? Dude, you know the Queen’s corgis probably have that in dog-size. Also, her lipstick was too bright. How it wasn’t smeared all over Seth’s mouth is beyond me.


WTF

+When you kiss more than one person you notice if they, err, taste like somebody else. Just saying.

+Marissa stowing away in the Range Rover. Bitch, didn’t he tell you he didn’t want company? Yes, I understand the whole if she hadn’t been around, he’d be in the mad shit, but still. Also, dude. She’s SO on my last nerve.

+Lady Deathstrike? Dude, the garanimal people called, they want their curtains back. Stop wearing them.

+ETA: I understand that Marissa wasn't planning on going to Cell Block C when she got dressed in the morning, but dude, could her skirt possibly have been any shorter? I mean let's just think on this for moment. Would *you* go to prision wearing that? Have you seen Oz? (Totally loved that shout-out by the way. You *know* Trey is somebody's prag).


Nuts (A New Category)

+Okay, I heart Summer *and* Anna now. This is problematic.

+I spent all this time watching the O.C. so I missed large chunks of Angel. Does anybody have screen caps (at the very least) of the Lindsey goodness?



Random note: They are remaking Oliver Twist, not as a musical a la Oliver, but as a story about rent boys. I wish I could begin to explain how gleeful this makes me, but then we’d be here the whole damn day. I fucking love Oliver Twist. I know he met up with the Dodger in their 20s, and they had a torrid love affair.

*snorts* 1.-5.: Isn't that, like, self-evident? *thinks about HP fandom* Hmm, okay, I see the problem. *pats Zahra on back* Do you want some chocolate? Seth covered in chocolate?

*scuttles off*

Also, Seth in chocolate. *makes big eyes*

Not everybody is SV is a mean bitch.

What?! What do you mean? But that's the only reason I joined the ranks...

Lex has never needed anybody else anyway. He’s just thought he did, and people who need other people are so leaving themselves open for trouble.

You tell 'em. *nod* I so desperately wish that Lex would remember this day. I know he won't and that pisses me off.

I hate to be the one to burst your bubble. Here, have a cookie.

To bring him this far and then cop out like that infuriates me more than I can say.

[thepouncer.livejournal.com]

I *loved* the Johnny Cash. I think I have to buy his album now.

I was dancing and squealing my way through The O.C. too. So. Much. Fun.

Respect the Man in Black dude. No joke.

Word.

You and I part ways on the argyle issue. Argyle should be reserved for socks, as far as I'm concerned. Although Seth getting caught in the sweater was just about the best thing ever. Do you think that was in the script, or just some tres amusing serendipity that they ran with?

Drinking through the holidays. Oh, yes. I’ll toast to that. Slainte.

ghosts of family gatherings past were pointing and laughing at me during this episode. Poor Kirsten.

Okay, I heart Summer *and* Anna now. This is problematic.

dude, have you read lalejandra's latest story? She kind of solves the problem, at least temporarily.

and finally: They are remaking Oliver Twist, not as a musical a la Oliver, but as a story about rent boys.

Wow, that kind of puts a whole new spin on the time I was the Artful Dodger for Halloween, don't it?

[semisuper.livejournal.com]

Seth rolling around on the ground was the best ever. I love him. His timing is exquisite; it really is. He so kicks ass.

Now I want cashmere argyle socks for my birthday. Damnit. *adds to list with green Converse* Also, I know argyle is normally a wrong thing, but he was just so cute, I let it go.

[romanticalgirl.livejournal.com]

Even better than Seth in argyle was Seth sans argyle and with open shirt.

Mmmmmm.

[hackthis.livejournal.com]

Well, duh. But that's like pointing out that European chocolate is better that American chocolate. The obviousness if there, but hey, it's all chocolate.

[tobymalfoy.livejournal.com]

Screencaps of Lindsey? Sure thing: http://www.tobiasjost.de/angel/

*adores*

Thank you!

[jb_slasher]

Excuse me, but I need to stare at your Icon for a minute.

[semisuper.livejournal.com]

Dude, yes. Just, YES to a whole bunch of this.

I know there were a lot of people who were freaking out last night about how ‘shattering’ the episode was, but from a practical stand-point, for me, it was just like ‘yes, and?’ Not ‘yes, and’ in the bad way, but more in the ‘good, now we can finally get down to business’ way.

EXACTLY. I actually loved SV last night. Character progression is such a nice thing. It felt like my show all over again. although really the OC wins. shhhhh i didn't say that.


The OC was fucking amazing. I LOVED it. Every week I don't think it can get any better, but it so does. Kelly Rowan was extra awesome last night. And WORD to the Summer + Anna thing. They both were darling in their own ways last night -- Samaire does something funny when she talks that bugs me -- her voice, maybe? I so don't know -- but I love them both. I just love this show.

It's okay, you didn't say it, and I didn't agree with it.

This comment doesn't even exist.

[lugonn.livejournal.com]

Okay, I heart Summer *and* Anna now. This is problematic.
Hopefully it drives you to distraction. Serves you right after doing it to us with Ryan and Jamie. :-)

She's SO on my last nerve.
I know. How many times does he need to say he doesn't want with him. But she selfishly wanted to see his background even though he wasn't ready to open up and was more concerned about her own desire to avoid Lady Deathstryke than Ryan's wishes. Of course Julie will blame Ryan. Marissa == immature, selfish bitch. Ryan, DUMP HER BONY ASS.

I am SO feeling the Lindsey-love. And my God -- the man was looking fine last night!!!

Somebody's been working out. A lot.

*dances in celebration of Lindsey's return*

Hey, when you're not working it's either that or write fan fiction. Did I say that? *snorts*

[redfirecracker.livejournal.com]

Really? He hasn't been working at all? That's a damn shame. If nothing else, the boy's pretty, and he can sing. *swoons*

[stphjay.livejournal.com]

1. I missed Lindsay? Aw.
2. I <3 the HP fandom and i'm no pedophile
3. I actually dislike Smallville except for LEX. Lex, Lex
4. I like anna too, but not the actress that plays her. does her voice annoy anyone else here? ANYONE???

[hackthis.livejournal.com]

I missed Lindsay? Aw.

Yeah, that's how I felt too. In between being very OC happy I mean.

[stphjay.livejournal.com]

yeah. after buffy ended sort of...eh, and i had a personal experience with James Marsters that made me decide to hate him, i swore off angel, and when the O.C. came along i was more than happy to devote wednesdays.
But Lindsay? Mmm.

Twist

[miriam-raggio.livejournal.com]

They're not making it... they already had. It was screened in the Director's Week section in Venice. Had an interview with the director and Nick Stahl afterwards - both pleasant, both rather pleased with the result. Stahl plays the Artful Dodger character, which here is renamed "Dodge" and is arguably the lead.

Re: Twist

[hackthis.livejournal.com]

Nick Stahl with the sticky-outie ears? Ah, well, all the better to drive with. Now I can sit and wait for it to come to out.

Re: Twist

[miriam-raggio.livejournal.com]

hmmm. It's not badly done/shot/whatever, but it might turn out to be a tough sell for theaters. Wait for it, but straight to video.

[shadowluck.livejournal.com]

Thank you for #1 and #2. Although it's worrying that it needed to be said.

[barely-bean.livejournal.com]

I am! I am!

*bounces around*

*...bitchily*

[hackthis.livejournal.com]

Of course you are, sweetie.

*pets*

[sissyfritz.livejournal.com]

wOOt to the Lindsay love. I'm lucky enough to have O.C. Mondays and Angel Wednesdays.

Apart from all the things I refused to think about while this episode was airing I will say that Clark not immediately telling *somebody* that Lex was being drugged is an all new low.
Yes! I must have ranted and raved for at least twenty minutes after I finally got around to watching the show this afternoon....what the hell kind of friend leaves his innocent friend at the mercy of his bastard father? I mean yes, I get that Lex has some "issues" to deal with, but that in no way means that he should be abandoned by his so-called friend. Grrr...as you can see, I'm obviously very upset by this.

As for the O.C.....well, words can't really begin to describe the love I have for this show. Seth rocks. 'Nuff said. Except....a few folks seem to have problems with Anna's voice. I think it's her facial expressions that grate on my nerves. I think the character's cool, but there's something about the way the actress delivers the lines that seems patronizing to me. And we won't even mention the girl's sense of style. Or lack thereof.

Ya know, I think maybe I watch too much television.........nah. No such thing. ;)

[hackthis.livejournal.com]

I was pretty upset myself, but it was pointed out that a) how was Clark to know that Lex was going to get locked away? b) the last time Clark kidnapped somebody (Ryan) he brought said person to Lex, and where exactly could he hide *Lex* that nobody would find them? c) Lex does still have mad issues and d) it's pretty much Clark's word against everybody elses. This is not a desirable place to be right now.

[sissyfritz.livejournal.com]

All good points. Weh. I wouldn't want to be in any of their shoes right now....

Oh well, at least I found the ep to be far more interesting than the Lana-fest of the past several weeks. :)

[terre.livejournal.com]

Call me crazy, but who in their right mind wears a skirt that short to have dinner with her MOTHER? That skirt seriously bewildered me.

[ethrosdemon.livejournal.com]

All the women on the OC pretty much dress for shit. Except Kirsten, but that's because she normally just wears work-type clothes. Not impressed there.

Dude, seriously. You *liked* SV this week? I have no words for that.
