8:03pm: Arwen vs Eowyn
No, I have no life without LJ either.

I noticed on IMDB that they had reported about Miranda Otto's pregnancy, and in doing so, referred to the character of Eowyn as an elf. So, I wandered over to Miranda's profile and checked the messages boards for what I thought would be ensuing wank over the error. There is a post about it, but it's not wanky...yet. However, there is this little gem posted by MirandaOttoFan, original spelling intact: Eowyn is so much better than Arwen, who agress?

When the first paragraph of the OP starts off "For all you Arwen fans out there, I hate to break it to you, but your sookie Arwen coments aren't wanted here. We can all rejoice in how freakin cool Eowyn/Miranda Otto is, BUT NO ARWEN COMMENTS!!" you can imagine how it degenerates from there, but sadly, it's lacking in vicious name calling. Plenty of Arwen bashing, Liv bashing, and comparing characters from bookverse to movieverse. Best line? "If J.R.R. Tolkien was alive right now,I'd make him give you an explaining."

Enjoy.

8:19pm: But the lamentations of women are one of the best things in life!
So, White Wolf has created a game called "Pimp: the Backhanding." Very obviously humor.


And then there's a giant hemispherical explosion in the forums.


Highlights: a discussion of legalized prostitution, someone suggesting that WW's next game should be "Plantation: the Slavening," a whole bunch of people suggesting that those freaking out need, you know, a grip, and someone named heartwoodwolf starting a thread called "I feel the need to cry." She wishes she could bake a cake made out of rainbows and smiles, and we could all eat it and be happy.

10:59pm: Fully Articulated Wank
This almost made it to i_wank, but I decided I've done enough prior self-inflicted damage to the board in question on previous occasions. Anyway~

There is this hobby that has been creeping up on people over the last few years. Maybe you've heard of these Asian dolls that people call "Dollfies" - Dollfie is actually a brand name, and they are "BJD" - Asian ball jointed dolls. They are very pretty and ridiculously expensive, and the fandom online is very strange.

A while ago, a movie came out in Korea called Doll Master that dealt heavily with these dolls, and used dolls exclusively from a company called Custom House. The movie did well, and recently it was announced that Mirimax is remaking it for a US audience.

People start off pretty sane, but it doesn't take long for the peanut gallery to start freak out, and one member (who has trouble with her keyboard, it seems), goes so far as to write a terribly unfortunate letter to Mirimax. (it's towards the bottom of the page, the long quoted thing)

Kai Nimura, so full of angst, randomly trashes the movie, as well as some different types of dolls, in an unrelated thread.** Myself and a few others tell her to GET OVER IT ALREADY, but she refuses, coming up with such witty replies as, "de twist your panties."

Those of us waiting in the wings just decided not to reply further after a certain (painful) point, but ... Jesus.

**Between the time I started typing this up and the time I posted, the thread was closed.
