aw you guys, according to people on Tumblr who have been going to Jon Walker's recent concerts, he and Cassie are having a baby. :D :D :D that kid's gonna be beautiful and probably be named Dylan.

on a completely different note, how fucking insane is Hannibal? I love what a fucked up show it is and how the worst things ever keep happening to Will Graham. Hugh Dancy plays fragile and broken very well. And Mads Mikkelsen is great at being a smug cannibal. (also let's hope by not showing what happened to Abigail in the newest episode, that means she's still around)

oh my god the new Arrested Development, y'all. I just finished and I need to talk about it.
( marry me!Collapse )
oh god it's 4am, I gotta go to bed but if you're finished, please talk to me about it!

So, we need to talk about the best movie of the summer, Fast and Furious 6.
( if you disagree you are wrongCollapse )

ALSO, Arrested Development comes back this weekend, so, well done this week, Hollywood. WELL DONE. (Also, I hope to make a post about Hannibal soon, I'm just about to start episode 6. this show is amazing and marks the first time that a fandom being so delightfully weird on tumblr is why I started watching in the first place)

lol I cannot believe I am updating for the first time in weeks to talk about Star Wars.

as I've posted on twitter/tumblr, I rewatched all 6 Star Wars movies in order (eps 1-6 order) over the past few days and I am FALLING APART in dumb feelings over them. every time I do this, I'm always struck by a few things:
- that Obi-Wan Kenobi is my favorite character of all time
- R2-D2 is the true hero of the series (the amount of times where he is literally the only reason anyone survives is like, a hundred)
- Harrison Ford's face after Leia tells Han that Luke is her brother is my favorite movie moment of all time
- the prequels are always way more enjoyable than I remember and I like the prequels anyway
- the Jedi Council is a gigantic pile of dicks
- Anakin is such a goddamn failure
- Palpatine's plan is fucking bugfuck crazy and it's a testament to what a great villain he is that he pulls it all off

Seriously though, let's look at Palpatine's nutso plan. Some of this is confirmed in the expanded universe, but it's still canon: ( it's long and nutsCollapse )

ANYWAY. livejournal, what's up? my life is (obviously) completely uneventful and not interesting, but I hope yours are! Also, holy hot damn, Pretty. Odd. came out FIVE DAMN YEARS AGO WHAT THE HELL.

I really cannot believe that Fall Out Boy is back. Happily in disbelief but totally shocked. I'm listening to them now and man, I forgot how much I liked their music. I wasn't as fannish about FOB as I was about TAI or Empires but I always did really love their music. I really hope I can rustle up some friends to go see them in Charlotte in June.

Between this, The Hush Sound making new music (which also !!!!!!!!!!!!) and that insane Mikey Way drama that happened a couple weeks ago, bandom never really dies does it?

well, the last day of the year is a good time as any to do that annual year-end meme, huh?

( under the cutCollapse )

LIVEJOURNAL! what the fuck is up with this update page? I mean jesus christ, what the fuck were they thinking? between this, the new iTunes (which I've luckily avoided, thanks to everyone warning me of how awful it is) and whatever the goddamn hell tumblr did today, I feel like web content designers are believing in the 12/21 hype and fucking with us now.

anyways, lj, I am pretty inebriated and felt like posting for once. I wanted to let everyone know that I sent out all of the holiday cards late last week or early this week, so hopefully everyone should receive them soon! Aussie/NZ friends might get them later than most, but a tumblr friend in Germany got hers in 6 days, so maybe not too long!

anyways (x2), I have been trying to think up my top 10 albums/tv episodes of the year, as it's something I do every year because I like lists and man, it's hard this year. I have over 30 new albums I've listened to this year and really, all of them were good, and it's very hard to pick. and tv! how to pick a Parks & Rec episode, my goodness. I should probably also do movies but there's still a bunch of movies I haven't seen yet that I'd like to (mostly Oscar bait, like Lincoln, Zero Dark Thirty, Django Unchained isn't out yet, etc) so idk if it'd be accurate. so many year end lists, so little time.

what else? oh the new star trek trailer pissed me off because, for me, star trek is fucking ridiculous and hilarious and full of beautiful heart and all that trailer was was GRIMDARK CURDLESNOOT HIPSTER SCARVES NO CHEKOV. I sincerely hope it ends up better than that. Pacific Rim looks fun, though, but I am most excited about GLaDOS.

oh! hey, if you watch it, wasn't the newest Elementary absolutely AWESOME? I love heist movies (the Ocean's trilogy, the Italian Job, Fast Five, etc) so whenever a procedural does them, they're usually super fun (and a nice change of pace from murder of the week) and man, it was SO much fun! Sherlock being so giddy about it and Joan being irritated and then meeting Joan's family and the foreshadowing of Joan staying on with Sherlock and it was SO GREAT. I really love this show, guys. it's not like a show like Mad Men or Breaking Bad or Homeland where I'm dying for the next episode every week but it's such a fun way to spend an hour with two super attractive people and man, if I could pull it off, I would raid Lucy Liu's wardrobe, it is A+

anyways (x3) I hope everyone's doing ok (especially after a shit day like today) and I SWEAR I'm gonna try to be a better livejournal friend. PROMISE.

First off, here's me bugging you to comment on my holiday postcard post! I'm gonna start working on them this week to get them sent out by next weekend so please comment soon! and seriously, no obligation to send anything back, I'm more excited to send them out than anything.

Secondly, I've been thinking a lot about fandom lately and my lack of one and it's probably not really all that interesting but I think I finally figured out why I can't get into anything lately. ( cutCollapse )

well, that was long. anyway, has anyone on my flist ever watched Alphas? I just finished the first season and I really enjoyed it! mostly because I am distressingly attracted to David Strathairn (and still in disbelief that he is on a Syfy show) and because I like superpowers but I like that it (sort of) explains a lot of the powers as different mental abilities and that the characters have mental illnesses that connect to their powers. I also like that the autistic kid is not just some savant, he is a full-fledged character who can be irritating and an asshole and he gets called out on it.

I'm also thinking of watching the X-Files as it's on Netflix and I never watched it while it was on (my mom deemed it too scary). Is this a terrible idea?

so, we've all seen the super incesty Folger's ad right? IT IS TAKING OVER MY LIFE. IDK. Blame this fic from Yuletide last year (of course there is fic) which is really well written and has some hot phone sex BUT THEN SOMETHING HORRIBLE HAPPENS AND NOW I'M IN A DOWNWARD SPIRAL OF WISHING A HAPPY ENDING VERSION OF THIS TO EXIST. I haven't wanted fic to exist so badly since bandom was around and just prayed for Jon/Tom and Butcher/Siska all the time. I don't know why a dumb coffee commercial with obviously boning siblings is what makes me want to be in a fandom again but I guess I'll take it?

speaking of Jon Walker, he has a new 4 song EP out that is generally adorable and Jon Walker-ish but even more important, he has this video out is a) the most precious thing in the entire world b) was directed by Jack the Camera Guy and Ryan Luciani (Chicago, seriously, still only 12 people) and c) features Cassie, Marley, Dylan and Clover and seriously, THE MOST PRECIOUS THING IN THE WORLD. I'm just so glad Jon Walker is just keep on keeping on with his awesome wife and animal family and his fun music.

Anyway, if you missed it, I am sending out cards! I don't really have a deadline but I'll probably send them out like first or second week of December? maybe sooner, depending. either way, if you want one please let me know soonish! and seriously, no obligation to send anything back or do anything, I've been a crappy internet friend and this is my way to try to make it up.

Since I've become the worst livejournaler ever, I want to make up for it by sending out holiday cards. But not just any holiday cards, vintage DC comics postcards!

So! If you would like one, please leave your name/address in the comments! all will be screened. Also, if you have a preference of a DC comic character from the 1930s-1980s, let me know so I can send you an appropriate card! they're mostly of Batman, Superman, Wonder Woman and Green Lantern, so if you don't say, that's probably who you'll get.

Also! I still have a crapload of friendship bracelets and thread, so if anyone would like one (or two or four) I can send you some as well! I'd send the card and the bracelets in an envelope together. just let me know what colors/themes if you do want any.

I'll send them wherever, so don't be shy if you're not from the US. Oh, and I'll just write "happy holidays" and a note on each card unless specified (like if you just want a card but aren't into holidays, totes cool, just let me know).

ps: don't assume I have your address because I'm dumb and probably lost it if I did. /o\
