Jan 06, 2012 19:20

So I've spent the last few days marathoning Community like crazy and I'm finally all caught up! I loved it, only wish I discovered this gem earlier. My thoughts:

( Me and Abed have an agreement. If one of us dies, we stage it to look like a suicide caused by the unjust cancellation of Firefly... )

pimping, cesare/lucrezia, cesare_lucrezia, merlin, tv shows, once upon a time, mitchell/annie, merlin_land, writer fail, jeff/britta, britta perry, fanvids, movies, review, fanfiction, georgina kincaid series, morgana, community, snow/james, the borgias

I don't watch any of those shows :(

I found something for you though:

LOL, nice cartoon, thanks for sharing! :D MTE 9/Rose/10...(And well you watch The Borgias and Merlin at least, for the second two bullets...;))

You should really check out Community if you're ever up for a great little comedy, it's SO hilarious and great for TV lovers especially, since the humor is meta and it often makes references to TV shows...:)

cranmers January 7 2012, 00:49:12 UTC

True, true...

But I didn't feel I could come back to you on those points! :/

Ooooh. Community it is! I need to get on a new show.

sherrilina January 7 2012, 04:41:20 UTC

Yes, you should pick up Community--it also has shorter episodes, so it goes by faster! ;) If you do ever get around to watching it, let me know what you think!

haha I loved Tintin, but I had read them all as a kid, so I probably would have liked ANY adaptation ;)

If Colin Ford was in OuaT, that would have been AMAZING

sherrilina January 7 2012, 00:42:23 UTC

I think that is it, there's the nostalgia element for you, plus you actually know these people and their deal, and what the tropes are, and already appreciate them. The closest I've come to TinTin is when I visited the palace that Marlinspike Hall is based off of in like Belgium or something (I remember they had tons of TinTin memorabilia there, and said so in the guides). If someone made a feature-length film of Magic School Bus or something I'd probably feel the same way as you do here...;)

Seriously though, when does TinTin supposedly take place? :s It's all so old-fashioned, and I'm trying to figure out if the reference to "third world" is an anachronism or not accordingly, etc. I have to say, it was also so jarring seeing him shooting guns and such in a kids' comic that way...

If Colin Ford was in OuaT, that would have been AMAZINGYeah, too bad he's too old now! And hey, you told me you wanted my thoughts on OuaT to see where we lay in terms of opinions--I'm curious now, tell me how I place! :p Are we agreed or disagreed ( ... )

probing_grays January 7 2012, 00:56:31 UTC

It's like a 1930s Belgian cartoon. It was actually pretty progressive for its time (it called out a lot of racism) but a lot of it looks SUPER racist today.

Tintin does a lot of stuff that's considered pretty adult for cartoon's media today, particularly with guns. There's a lot of shooting. I remember thinking it was all really cool when I was a kid.

I also grew up with Magic School Bus! That would definitely make for a cool movie. :P

I think we're about 50/50 when it comes to OuaT. I generally like it, but, when pressed, would have to admit that a lot of stuff is not that great. But I like Emma more than you, and Gold less. I just find him to be kind of annoying.

WE NEED ANOTHER TIE-BREAKER, sob

WE NEED ANOTHER TIE-BREAKER, sob

Lol noooo! :p How funny we were 50/50...hmm, surely there's another show that we've both seen that could serve as one? (Not counting Sherlock, since that's practically an extension of Moffat!Who). Did you not see Buffy, etc?

I'll definitely look at both of these things although I have refused to watch Merlin after they destroyed ArMor. Sometimes I wish we could add on to CL involving other characters.

Oh and I finally managed to set up that master post for the holiday exchange, however small it was. I am sorry about the delay but today my hearing is so bad again that I could cry. I don't know anymore.

sherrilina January 7 2012, 15:27:19 UTC

You did the right thing, Merlin is probably not worth continuing more than that...*sigh*

And aw hun that's fine, you got it up the day things were due, nobody's expecting anything more! As you've no doubt noticed, I'm late with my gift already, so I definitely wouldn't be one to talk! ;) (I'll try to get mine posted before Monday).

honeymink January 7 2012, 18:00:59 UTC

I just couldn't take it anymore. ArMor were so perfect and enticing. Who on earth felt that it was a good idea to give that up in order to produce the upteempth show that somewhat stuck to the legend? Be a bit more daring, give us something new - especially when the actors have such great chemistry! /rant

Oh and yes. Ah. I was a mess with my stuff... everything took so much longer than expected. And now I'm worried my receipient will hate it. :P

I'll try to get mine posted before Monday

Oh that's absolutely fine. Never wanted to create any stress with this. So ignore the LJ message I just sent you. :)

Gladly:

community_tv is the mother comm, there are also a few shipping comms and a fic comm if you're interested. My icon is from a photoshoot the cast did with Entertainment Weekly. The full-sized photo is here.

sherrilina February 3 2012, 18:36:15 UTC

This is late but thanks for the heads up, I just joined! :)

I was stamped as Gwen, not quite sure how I feel about that lol!
Loved that video, although I've never watched OUAT or Misfits, it was put together really nicely, and I'm loving Lana Del Rey's voice atm.

sherrilina January 7 2012, 15:20:33 UTC

Lol, it means you're a nicer person than I perhaps? :p And that in s1 we're besties? ;)

Yeah I also thought it was very well-edited, and I especially loved it for introducing me to that song by Lana Del Ray (the 2nd one I'd heard!), she is amazing isn't she? I first heard her on GG with "Video Games", her songs are so beautiful and haunting, though especially these two...(I'm always looking for new angsty numbers for ships, lol).

You should watch Misfits though, or s1-2 at least!
