IY fic Rec: This Can't Be Good
Jan. 4th, 2004 02:52 amOk, I *so* have to read more of this one later....
This Can't Be Good
Hojo becomes trapped in the Sengoku Jidai: Chivalry isn't dead, but it sure seems to be asking for it... (Rated for Inuyasha's mouth and Miroku's mind.)
This one also looks interesting....

Jan. 4th, 2004 11:12 amThanks to some nice folks filling out this fanfic poll from yesterday, I now have a few more Buffy fanfic titles to read, ones that I know the authors would like to be read. Of the ones I've read already (and I'm ashamed to say there's more that I haven't than I have), ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
jaina's, octopedingenue's, (edit to add: buffyx too) and sassangel's poll answers are also my favorite fics of theirs. (edit to add: trollprincess, I did read Ghost In the Shell, and quite liked it. I especially liked the style of dialogue, even though my favorite of yours is I'd Kiss Yuu But I Just Washed My Hair.)
Thank you, people who read my journal, for answering my polls so often! I know I've been a bit crazy with them this week.

Jan. 4th, 2004 04:02 pmDoes anyone know of a Buffy fanfic crossover challenge community besides ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-community.gif)
sunday100? Or just a general fanfic crossover challenge community. If there isn't, it might be fun to have one. You could have challenges monthly or bi-monthly, giving time for people to write their stuff, or start them. It'd be fun to read, for someoen who likes crossovers like I do.

You could have challenges monthly or bi-monthly, giving time for people to write their stuff, or start them. It'd be fun to read, for someoen who likes crossovers like I do.The following is a useful page that defines many common terms used in anime & manga fandom, some English and some Japanese. I found it useful, though I had already picked up most of these on my own by now.
Frequently Used Terms
----
Watched The Four Feathers. It reminded me of a bit of one of the more thematic quotes of the film Fight Club. See my icon for the quote itself.
Honestly, given time you can find a quote from FC to apply to anything.
What did I think about t4F? Not much. Mostly, I came away respecting the actors, respecting the cinematographer, and respecting Heath Ledger's biological parents for producing such an attractive male face. Wes Bently might actually be a shade more handsome than Heath Ledger (WB's eyes are to kill for), but the mustache thing gave him a faintly villan look that kinda creeped me out. Also, said eyes make his stare so intense I almost want to stop looking at him/the screen because of it.
Anyway, I thought the director was good with individual scenes, but didn't know what the fuck he was doing in the movie as a whole. And the plot was muddled and had false endings and at multiple points failed to clarify the motivations of many characters.
But hey, desert: pretty. Points to the cinematographer. And points to the make-up crew too. The actors certainly looked quite wretched for much of the time.
Mostly, I found it hard to get into this film. It was going everywhere and nowhere all at once. Probably makes a much better book. As it was here, it reminded me of a bizarr mix between Pearl Harbor and Les Miserables. ...Except the girl's emotions are pretty clear in this one, and she actually goes with the right person at the end. For a second I thought I'd have to hate the movie over her character, but they fixed that.
Family conversation (best as I can recall my Dad's words) while watching yet another scene of the British Imperial Soldiers in an unhappy confrontation with the Sudan locals:
ShakaDada: So it's all the British's fault, then, as this stuff has been going on for at least a good 100 years, no wonder the Arabic world hates us.
Rashaka: Actually, the Crusades did start way back in the Middle Ages. **points at screen** And technically, that's not us.
ShakaDada: Well sort of. White Western World.
Rashaka: Hey, this is 1880 something. Enough of our ancestors are on the other continent by now that we don't have to take credit for British Imperialism. Let's swallow Slavery and Manifest Destiny and call it a day.
