Oh, this could be interesting... [22 Mar 2010|12:28am] fandom_lounge [comixology] Warner Brothers is trying to get the licensing to make a live-action adaptation of Bleach. I sense amusement on the horizon, and I know it could totally generate wank in the future. Head's up everybody! 11 comments|post comment

Hogwarts set destroyed when battle scene filming goes wrong [21 Mar 2010|11:01pm] the_hms_stfu [farmercuerden] "The Hogwarts set for the final Harry Potter adventure has been destroyed in a blaze as filming for the final battle scene went disastrously wrong. Explosives set light to scenery at the school of magic as cast and crew shot the Battle of Hogwarts climax for Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows. Fire crews battled for 40 minutes to bring the flames under control but the set was wrecked." I don't watch movies based on books I like, particularly when I hear about some of the shit Warner Brothers pulled with Hermione's character becoming a Sue. But that set was gorgeous, and this really is a disaster. =/ 19 comments|post comment

Final FAIL XIII [21 Mar 2010|03:14pm] fandom_rant [sadisticferret] Is it really too much to ask that one be able to do a search for Sazh fanart without coming across racist shit on the first goddamn page? For fuck's sake, people. 9 comments|post comment

Terms "Vagina" and "Down There" Banned from T.V. Ads [21 Mar 2010|10:22am] unfunnybusiness [tehrin] Brought to you from my inbox: Kotex, a women's tampon company had to change their promotional ad because TV executives were uncomfortable with the word VAGINA! Terms "Vagina" and "Down There" Banned from T.V. Ads ( for the link-phobic ) I can't help being reminded of the "Angry Vagina" monologue and "Reclaiming Cunt" from The Vagina Monologues. NSFW due to language. 54 comments|post comment

[21 Mar 2010|02:06pm] random_rant [spawn_of_kong] [ mood | GRRRRRR ] Fellow cast and crew members, I really hate to have to throw my weight around as director of our project, but I've had to do so because it seems NONE of you can coordinate your fucking schedules to get a scene done that's due Tuesday.  It's not even like I pulled you off the street and asked you to help me.  WE WERE FUCKING ASSIGNED TO EACH OTHER.  I MEAN, WE'RE FILM AND ACTING STUDENTS, FOR CRYING OUT LOUD.  OUR GRADES ARE DEPENDING ON GETTING THIS THING DONE.  SO GET YOUR GODDAMN ACTS TOGETHER. Sincerely, Me post comment

[20 Mar 2010|09:20pm] unfunnybusiness [harrylovesron] Protesters hurt slurs and spit at Democrats Another article on same from the Huffington Post, which also shows pictures of signs from the protest. One of them reads "WARNING: If Brown can't stop it, a Browning can" with a picture of a gun. Charming. ( CNN article text ) ( Huffington Post article text ) Stay classy, Tea Partiers. STAY CLASSY. ETA: And it gets even better! Link via littleshebear: Right-wing bloggers demand apology from lawmakers called n-word by Tea Partyers. Yes, you read that right- they want an apology FROM THE PEOPLE WHO HAD RACIAL SLURS HURLED AT THEM because they're "just playing the race card" and (a direct quote) "So what if some idiot said a bad word?". Yeeeeah. 52 comments|post comment

Hetalia is too lulzy, I want it to OFFEND! OFFEND, I TELL YOU! [21 Mar 2010|09:28am] unfunnybusiness [ladyofviolets] [ mood | blah ] A bit late, but as I told an anon in wank_report, it's here. Sorry for C/ping. Random Hetalia fan chucks the cat within the birds as a reply to a Hetalia secret, by saying: ( History isn't for the weak! And even if I have to make the whole fandom look bad AGAIN, I'll say it! ) You can guess how many shenanigans, troll accusations, "debates" about WWII, horrified screams of the "this is why Hetalia fandom has a bad rep!", etc. followed until the threads were frozen. 29 comments|post comment

Query [21 Mar 2010|04:44pm] the_hms_stfu [farmercuerden] Do any of you have MSN messenger and want to talk? I could use some people to run some fanfic/filk/etc. stuff past. ( Read more... ) I'll delete this post after a week. 3 comments|post comment

lazy people are lazy [21 Mar 2010|09:27am] fandom_rant [microclimate] Dear Lost fandom, ( cut for length and spoilers ) 9 comments|post comment

[21 Mar 2010|07:59am] the_hms_stfu [mariem_1] SIP decided to argue with ravenstar84's essay - Lily's Character and Logical Fallacies. ETA: duj made this comment to sailorlum: The chasm I see is that you judge characters by what they *say* and I judge them by what they *do*. You judge a book's teachings by its *slogans* and I judge it by its *text and subtext*. (And you are offended by having this pointed out, which just leaves me baffled.) It is not Harry's ability to love (which is rather limited) that saves the day; it is his blood - his pureblood Potter/Peverell ancestry and Gaunt/Peverell Horcrux-infusion - which befits him to own the Hallows. No one in the Potterverse "loves" the people outside hir own circle. Harry's distant towards even his closest friends. Racism is a subset of prejudice: judging the individual by the group s/he belongs to. JK encourages prejudiced thinking; she merely chooses the targets, eg purebloods. *Everyone* in the Potterverse is racist towards Muggles, whether maliciously or patronisingly, and the effect on Muggles is uniformly deleterious, whether actively (Obliviation, Confunding, altering their home or living conditions without consent) or passively (not letting them know to defend themselves or be wary of a raised wand). The analogy is far from perfect, but neither farmer nor slaughterer have the *hen's* benefit in mind, although the latter houses and feeds and breeds her. Unpleasant people are always on the side of bad unless their broken hearts teach them otherwise - and they shouldn't expect ever to be forgiven or have a moment's happiness. Good people's flaws are forgivable or even praiseworthy, like Harry's "gallant" Crucio for spitting. It's horribly wrong and disloyal to suppose, just because a *good guy* blabs secrets (Sirius, Hagrid), that you can't trust him with yours. Choice is a purely mechanical process whereby you show what sort of person you were born as. Redemption doesn't include forgiveness, recognition or life; just be satisfied they stop blackening your name. 56 comments|post comment

[20 Mar 2010|09:30pm] ruaki So I'm playing Resonance of Fate (ie: End of Eternity) at the moment. The instruction manual reads like stereo instructions, but the training area helped me get a general grasp of the battle system. BTW IT'S AN RPG WITH GUNS! The intro would make Dante proud. Oh, Zephyr is excessively pretty. He's even more pretty when I put glasses on him. That's right. YOU PLAY DRESS UP and that is like the most awesome thing ever. :D 2 comments|post comment

wow now i know what scene they were talking about [20 Mar 2010|04:38pm] ruaki SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOoo I just finished the amusement park "level" with Crow. So that ending scene to it? I just went "WHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAT" very loudly cause that was the most unexpected thing ever. and busted out laughing (it was honestly very cute and now I forgive Crow for the torture he put me through) Thanks a lot, game. ♥ And huge kudos XSEED for not censoring it or trying to cover it up. I think I'm actually shocked by that more than anything. totally keeping that save file ♥ post comment

Letting gays serve openly in the military will totally lead to massacres, amirite? [18 Mar 2010|08:25pm] unfunnybusiness [tez] A retired U.S. general said Thursday that the Dutch policy of allowing openly gay soldiers to serve in its military led, in part, to its failure to halt the massacre of Muslims in the Bosnian town of Srebrenica in 1995. ( Entire text of article under the cut. ) For once, the comments (at least the first page of them, I'm afraid to go any deeper) are almost universally variants on 'oh shut the fuck up you moron'. (ETA: At least they were when I initially submitted this a couple days ago. I'm sort of afraid to go back and look at them again.) 13 comments|post comment

SDCC Roommates needed [20 Mar 2010|06:19am] fandom_lounge [kijikun] As per usual I have a room with two queen sized beds for SDCC at the Holiday Inn Express downtown. I'll be there for the full four nights. There is a mini fridge in the room as well as a TV and free wireless internet, as well as free hot breakfast every morning, a pool, and a shuttle to the con right around the corner. Free shuttle from the airport as well. I'm will to put up to 5- 6 people in the room if all other parties are fine with it (I will be bringing a air mattress again) but at the moment I'm shooting for 4. Girls only, and over 18 only. Is anyone else interested? With 4 people in the room would be 190 dollars a person. I wouldn't expect any money until the con itself. If you are interested please let me know. :) 3 comments|post comment

Bloodbending Your Way To A Better Sex Life! [20 Mar 2010|06:05pm] fandom_rant [dontgiveahoot] [ mood | OMGWTF ] Crossposted from LJ's fanficrants and fanficrants Dear Avatar fanauthor: While having Katara use Bloodbending to spice up her sex life is certainly an approach to smutfic I haven't seen before, I think perhaps you need to keep some things in mind. ( Cut for crazy, dubcon and general brainbleach rquirements. ) No love, me. 23 comments|post comment
