i don't procrastinate. i just do things later.
This post has been days in the making mostly because I've been too lazy to actually post these last few days with the holidays, family and everything. I hope everyone had a lovely couple of days whether you celebrate or not. HUGS ALL AROUND.
First let me talk about Tron: Legacy.
QUORRA WAS SO COOL. THE COOLEST.
FLYNN WAS LIKE DUDE MEETS FLYNN AND HE WAS AWESOME.
QUORRA AND FLYNN WERE MY FAVOURITES!
SAM WORKED THE TECH LIKE HARDISON AND LIVED LIKE PARKER.
CLU WAS A BAD AWESOME MAN.
CASTOR!ZUSE WAS THE BOMB. MICHAEL SHEEN, NEVER EVER EVER CHANGE. YOU'RE A FANTASTIC HUMAN BEING.
GEM WAS COOL. HER BUDS TOO. WHEN I LEARNED HER NAME I WAS ALL: G!JEM AND THE HOLOGRAMS, PLEASE DO A DUET WITH DAFT PUNK.
TROOOOOOOOOOOON! I KNEW IT WAS HIM AND WHEN HE WENT ALL 'I FIGHT FOR THE USERS' I WAS ALL TROOOOOOOOOOON!
ALAN WAS AWESOME.
AND CILLAN MURPHY, WHAT YOU DOING HERE, BRO?
THE FIGHT IN THE CLUB WAS THE RADDEST SHIT. WHEN DAFT PUNK (BC THEY'RE IN THE MOOOOOVIIIIEEE!!!) LOOK AT EACH OTHER AND CHANGED THE PLAYLIST LIKE BAMFS SO IT WOULD FIT THE FIGHT? I WANTED TO JUMP UP IN MY SEAT. COOLEST.
BASICALLY THIS FILM WAS TOO COOL FOR MY EYES. DIGITAL JAAAAAAAAAAAAAZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ!
If anyone was looking for an in-depth look at the plot of the film and the underlying commentary about technology today, SO SORRY. THIS IS THE WRONG POST FOR THAT. I picspamed the trailer before, but JUST A REMINDER FOR MY EYES AND YOURS.
This is also normally the time of year I do my Fanfiction Review ( 2007, 2008, 2009) post but I've only written like seven fics this year, and two of them are holiday exchange fics so no fanfic review from me. Most of them were Puck/Rachel( 1/ 2/ 3), with one James/Juliet fic, one Dominic/Dewitt ficlet for the Celebration Week, finishing posting the Daniel/Vala AU for my last year, and some quick V scenes (these suck, don't read them.) written for top fives memes. Maybe next year I'll be more productive fic wise, we'll see. Watch me post fic in this last week of the year. No really watch me.
So instead it's just gonna be the fandom review in which I mash up a few versions of the meme.

Three Five Favourite TV shows of the Year:
1. V
2. Lost
3. The Vampire Diaries
4. Misfits
5. Fringe
Favorite film watched this year (in the cinema)?
Step Up 3(D). Why this one when there are some quality films out there? Bc it's the one I had the most fun watching. There were better movies that came out, with better acting and plot, but w/e BORN FOR A BOOMBOX.
Least favorite film watched this year (in the cinema)?
The Last Airbender and Skyline.
Favorite film watched this year?
Shutter Island (which also came out in cinemas but I didn't watch it there.) Zombieland.
Least favorite film watched this year?
Battle at Red Cliff. IT WAS JUST SO LONG.
Your TV boyfriend of the year?
Chuck (*~*ZACHARY LEVI*~*), Neal Caffery/Bryce Larkin (Matt Bomer) and Alec Hardison (Aldis Hodge) :D
Your TV girlfriend of the year?
EricaEvans/Juliet Burke(ElizabethMitchell)CLAUDIABLACKSarahWalker(YvonneStrahoski)OliviaDunham(AnnaTrov)RachelBerry(LeaMichele). LOL IDK.
Biggest OH NO YOU DIDN'T moment of the year?
When Katherine cut off Sark's fingers and then it cut off to Elena going into the kitchen.
Biggest tear-jerker of the year?
Lost finale, fucking Toy Story (even though I technically didn't cry but you know ~emotions.), when Ed broke though the Door of truth to tell Al he was coming back for him in Full Metal Alchemist.
Best episode(s) of tv you've seen this year?
The Rashomon Job, (Leverage), Modern Warfare (Community), Misfits 203, Chuck vs The Honeymooners (Chuck) bc of make outs. Lots and lots of make out. August (Fringe). Happily Ever After (LOST)
TV show you haven't tried yet, but want to?
I'm just gonna give you my list of show that I'm planning to watch this break or finally catch up on:
The Good Wife
Boardwalk Empire
Chase (Paul's fault)
Primeval (bc DINOSAURS)
Caprica (i really need to finish the season)
rec me other stuff?
Your favourite book read this year:
Lol, omg I'm blanking so hard on books I've read. Maybe this just shows that none really stood out. I still haven't read The Hunger Games like everyone in fandom. Comic book wise I loved Runaways (mostly around the middle) and Y: The Last Man.
No, fuck, really, what have I read this year that hasn't been for uni? Why are all my books in London so I can't just look at my bookshelf!! I'll probably remember tonight before I fall asleep, but probably Invisible Cities. Which was a re-read but I still love it.
Your favourite album or song to listen to this year:
Album: Brothers, The Black Keys. Song: Paradise Circus (Massive Attack) is the most played on my iTunes.
Your favourite LJ community of the year:
lol, lost_land, het_reccers, and glee_anon were probably my most trafficked comms.
First Fandom of the year:
Glee? Lost?
Your best new fandom fannish discovery of the year:
I think it might be tumblr. YEAH YEAH LJ/TUMBLR DIVIDE. I'll never choose! The site speaks to my visual sensibilities and there are a bunch of really talented and lovely folks over there. You just have to ignore all the spoilers and wank that can crop up.
Your biggest fandom disappointment of the year:
SHIP WARS. They take all my joy away and makes me run from the fandom, because it makes everything too tiring. Practically all fandoms are guilty of this and I know it will never change but still. Peter not finding out about Olivia for himself is solid second.
Your biggest squee moment of the year:
*
SAWYER AND JULIET MAKING OUT LIKE THE SEXY BAMFS IN THE FINALE. ~NEVER FORGET.
Chuck and Sarah finally finally FINALLY getting together was a pretty big moment for me too.
(my gif folder on photobucket is just a hot mess. i hate it but i love it.)
Favourite main character of the year:
Erica Evans (TV), Rapunzel (movies).
Favourite villain of the year:
Katherine (TV), Mal Cobb aka The Shade (movies).
Favourite het couple of the year:
Possibly Stefan/Elena for their progression and handling. Parker/Hardison for cutest ust and Chuck/Sarah for making out more and more.
Favourite femslash couple of the year:
Cara/Kahlan (LotS) but the one I've read the most fic about is surprise surprise Rachel/Santana (Glee).
Favourite slash couple of the year:
Cam/Mitchell (Modern Family).
Fandom that you never expected to get into:
Uh, Misfits? Not that I'm "in" the fandom, but I've gotten fannish about it with shipping and such. Full Metal Alchemist.
Fandom that made an unexpected comeback:
Lost I have to say. Maybe because I really got into the fandom these last two years, more so this year, after avoiding in fear for the majority of the time. SGA Sparky fandom, too.
Fandom that inspired the most crack:
OMG, GLEE. IT'S THE ONLY WAY TO GET THROUGH THE SHOW WITH YOU BRAIN IN TACT. And really it's the only way to make it through the fandom without wanting to shake everyone. I mean DIS SHOW, it's so ridiculous. It's so unbalanced and over the top and progressively so. But crack, oh sweet crack and ~lolstan comms are the fandom's saving grace for me because I'm not blind to it's many faults but I have a weird compulsion to watch it every week and find out just how these kids are ruining their lives and what lines of inappropriate conduct Will Schuester will cross this time. DON'T ASK ME TO EXPLAIN BC IDEK NEMORE.
Last fandom of the year:
Misfits, I guess. Though I have been reading a lot of Tangled and nu!Trek fic, but I'm not active in either.
Overall favourite fandoms of the year:
V, LOST, lol Glee. I'm not really active in other fandoms, hell I'm barely active in these save making icons, some fic, and reblogging on tumblr.
Your main fandom of the year:
Lost, V, or Glee, I'd say.
The most missed of your old fantoms:
Writing the dv_exchange has made nostalgic for Daniel/Vala. And I'm always sad I missed the hay days of Farscape and West Wing. Sometimes I wish Chuck was bigger too.
Biggest fan anticipations for the New Year?
V!! Because it's back soon! After that who knows?
Predictions for next year:
I'll keep on being the fandom magpie that I am, loving most shows quietly, reading fic and maybe I'll write more.
I think this upcoming year I might try my hand at this fandom scrapbook thing if only to keep things organised in my fandom world. Knowing me it will end up being more of a fandom notebook page of lists. I do it for everything else why not fandom. (Btw, another reason why I hate that I left certain sketch books in London they have all my list on books and shit like that.) There's also bunch of icons on my HD and I think it might be time to post them, but I keep putting it off since I keep making new icons. As well as my Fandom Review picspam for picspammy but that's no where near done (i.e. begun).
