A while back, laure001 posted over at the carrie_quinn comm and asked if people liked Happy fics, angsty fics, depressing fics, tragic fics?. I gave an answer but as it relates to fan fic generally as opposed to just Homeland fan fic, I decided to post it over here at my own livejournal as well :)( Read more... )

On the way to work today, I was talking to my husband about Episode VIII and rumours that it was going to be 'darker'.  The conversation went something like this...

Me: I hope they don't have Rey go to the Dark Side and turn evil.

There was an interesting answer to a question in the article Charlize Theron on Mad Max: Fury Road, being part of a feminist action movie

In the film Max and Furiosa are partners. Neither could succeed without the other. Was there ever talk of a love story? It would have ruined the movie.Theron: No, no! I can say honestly we never did that. We ( Read more... )

I read the Furiosa 'prequel' comic. While I didn't love it (really ugly artwork and wasn't that sold on the story), I have to confess I didn't have the same strong reaction to it that so many readers did. The story was ugly, sordid and unpleasant - but it was what I expected ...( Read more... )
