Blah blah blah blah give me porn blah blah blah

And lo, this casting spoiler for X-3 was publicised and the baby hackthis did cry and lament and rend Matthew Vaughn limb from limb for fucking me over. We hateses him.

Also, Happy Anniversary to me as I missed my three year LJ anniversary while in the throws of Trade hysteria. It's so strange for me to have the story be over as I was working on it for so long, and now there's really nothing else I want to write. It's a strange sort of quiet in my brain without the story percolating and writing itself. I feel bereft! I need distraction! Music, toys, pron, reccs, naked men doing the tango, or hey, BOY KISSING is always good.

Otherwise, I feel very uninspired; perhaps I need a new toy, as all my other toys have been discarded.

With that in mind, ethrosdemon has decided I need to see the new Dr Who, even though I never watched the old Dr Who and find myself incredibly sceptical and not planning to like it at all. If I am wrong, well, then I'll be wrong. At least I'll have my most beloved Spooks/Mi-5 to comfort me. I am also trying to figure out what all this Stargate: Atlantis hoopla is, so I've read the crack_van overview and am reading a few stories. No twinges yet, but we shall see.

I am an old skool Star Wars fan, and I want to be so excited about Revenge of the Sith*, but man, George Lucas has fucked me without lube one too many times, and I just -- I'm too wary. I don't even have a ticket for the film yet.

I am knackered. I need a holiday.

*I do give him credit for finally getting 'Revenge' in one of his movie titles as all the Star Wars geeks know that Return of the Jedi was originally Revenge of the Jedi and all memorabilia to that effect is as valuable as photographic evidence of Tom Cruise being gay.

SGA... Well, imagine if you took all those cool secondary characters that you usually see on a sci fi show - the ones that never get enough screentime - and gave them their own show.

Their own show, in a galaxy far far away, where the aliens want to eat them. Not fight them, not enslave them, just, you know. Eat them. It sort of ups the stakes.

They try really hard and do a lot of incredible stuff, but heroism isn't their default setting and it shows. Doing The Brave Right Thing takes effort, and sometimes they screw up and people die for it.

Aside from the Attractive Locals, all of the characters are scientists or soldiers, so with a cast that large the writers have to give them actual personalities instead of stereotypes. Thus, the scientists don't all wear glasses and yell "Don't shoot the natives that want to kill us!", because if 50% of the cast did that, it would get boring. And for the same reason the soldiers have more personality than "I shoot things and/or make wisecracks".

The characters have more in common with your third grade teacher than they do with Aragorn, and I just find it very charming.



Also, one of the lead characters looks and acts just *exactly* like some unholy cross between the best parts of Avon and Vila. I kid you not.

The most famous and controversial fic in the fandom is "Transcendental". A lot of people didn't like it, but it pimped in new fans like nobody's business. It sure pimped me in!

So, if you're looking for something ruthless and plotty and full of teeth, here it is.

Alas, I know not of what you speak.

Ah. Sorry. Paleo-fandom reference. Was referring to characters from Blake's Seven. Forget that last line, then.
