Twothousandanten Fandom Recap Meme!
1. Your main fandoms of the year?
I kinda idled out of actively participating in fandoms last year, but probably Community. Followed in no particular order by The Beatles, Drei Fragezeichen, Confusions Of Törless, Litchi Hikari Club and The Godfather. 'twas the year of "WTF are you even doing?" XD
2. Your favorite films watched this year?
Inception. In a world of Transformers sequels, the sixhundreth gritty comic franchise reebot and "re-imaginings" of trashy 80's TV shows, intelligent blockbusters still exist, and thank fuck for that. Smart, with a great cast, and infinitely re-watchable.
Also Pixar's Up. I watched it for the first time last year, and holy crap. It's so fucking moving that I can only express myself through profanities while crying profusely onto my keyboard. Goddamn. (Note: it's a funny movie, too. ^^*)
Click to view3. Your favorite book read this year?
You Never Give Me Your Money by Peter Doggett, his tell-all about the painful Beatles break-up. I never thought that a book dealing primarily with contracts and lawsuits could be so captivating. In this book the Beatles' history feels like a 10-year party followed by a massive 30-year hangover. Good lord.
Reading about Lennon and McCartney flamewarring like a couple butthurt teenage girls is sad and at the same time weirdly sublime.
4. Your favorite album or song to listen to this year?
Creature Feature's The Greatest Show Unearthed album was my favorite discovery.
But I rarely ever listen to entire albums. 2010 was the year of the novelty song for me, with 30 Rock's Werewolf Bar Mitzvah and Community's Getting Rid Of Britta coming out.
5. Your favorite TV show of the year?
Going by "madly in love with", Community. Going by "the best", it's either Louie or Eastbound And Down.
6. Your favorite LJ community of the year?
120_minuten. ;D Nothing like attempting to kick your friend's asses through *the delicate art of writing*! Seriously though, the summer challenges and the Christmas events were insanely fun. I met new people and hung out with those I already know & like.
7. Your best new fandom discovery of the year?
Podcasts! I got an iPod, and I also happened to indulge in some hardcore commuting, so those are my best friends now. My favorite is the videogaming podcast Rebel FM (I fangirl Anthony, Arthur, Matt, Tyler and Ryan hard!), and Comedy Death Ray Radio introduced me to a wild pack of cool comedians.
8. Your biggest fandom disappointment of the year?
Pierce: What is it?
Abed: It's the 1st season of LOST on DVD.
Pierce: THAT is the meaning of Christmas?
Abed: No. It's a metaphor. It represents lack of payoff.
And that is really all you need to know about the LOST finale.
9. Your TV boyfriend of the year?
My boyfriend Felix, who else! ♥
Actually ... also Richard Harrow from Boardwalk Empire. I don't know if I would've kept watching if it wasn't for him.
10. Your TV girlfriend of the year?
My homegirl Britta. Fivesies!
11. Your biggest squee moment of the year?
Community's zombie apocalypse episode, Epidemiology.
This may sound REALLY stupid, but I asked Felix if he liked Britta or Annie more on Community. He said "Britta." That made me incredibly happy, since I'm a Britta all the way. A-and that was your Sex And The City Moment for the evening, aha.
The Walking Dead pilot.
When Tom Hagen became my consiglieri in Godfather II: The Game. Tom Hagen. Became my consiglieri. Maybe this means my life is a sad travesty, but I squee'd so hard. And it's such a shitty game, too. WORTH IT.
Bayonetta.
There are countless others, but those are the ones I can think of right now!
12. The most missed of your old fandoms?
I miss hanging out with my Death Note crew more, but I think we're all pursuing different interests right now - which is perfectly okay. But I love y'all and it was incredible fun.
13. The fandom you haven't tried yet, but want to?
I don't really see myself getting into new fandoms in a big way, honestly. I'm very much into my own stuff right now, and quite happy with it. But you never know. If something grabs me, I'll be writing fanfiction and rambly meta again in a heartbeat.
14. Your biggest fan anticipations for the New Year?
NEW SEASON OF FREAKING PARKS AND RECREATION. FINALLY. Undeservedly yanked from the airwaves, the underdog will be back! ♥
Watch more Sherlock, Misfits and Deadwood.
Oh, and see the English release of Litchi Hikari Club in April, as well as the launch of the Bokura No Hikari Club-webcomic sometime in March! I'm still in love with that little guro gem.
Apart from that, I look forward to whatever 2011 will throw at us.
