only as interesting as you make it

I'm bored, and have a hundred other things I should be doing, so...

TOP 5 ME! Books, art, culture, politics, music, fandom stuff, movies, television, anything. Ask as many as you'd like. Be vague. Be specific. I don't care if it's mundane or off the wall.

mememe, booooored

Top 5 fandom moments of all time!

nereemac April 11 2012, 00:23:25 UTC

*wail*

I don't understaaaaaaaaaand. Do you mean my top 5 moments of fandomness? Or my top 5 things that have ever happened in shows (or whatever) that I'm in the fandom of? Or something else?

*is confused*

P.S. I will answer with something. At some point. And this post is in no way a stalling tactic. Nuh uh.

Ahaha, the second thing!

Well then, that's just mean. Hardest. Question. Ever. I no longer feel at all guilty about the question I asked you. Just so you know.

Okay, off the top of my head, in no particular order, and with the obvious get-out clause that this is liable to change at any moment, possibly even before I finish typing it:

1. The musical episode of Buffy. I loathe, hate and abhor musicals (except Calamity Jane-long story), and I hate gimicky episodes of anything, but that episode is a thing of genius and a joy forever. Except the last 15 seconds or so. Me = not a Buffy/Spike fan.

2. Serenity. I love the film itself, but it's more the idea of it. The fact that a show that lasted less than a season because of network meddling could get a Big Damn Movie still amazes me.

3. The diner scene from "The Big Nickel", a.k.a. the point where I went from loving Sam and Andy to SHIPPING THEM LIKE BURNING.

4. The timeline switch at the start of season 4 of Eureka. It took the show from something I kind of vaguely watched to something I ABSOLUTELY COULD NOT ( ... )

So many people have been telling me to WATCH FRINGE NOW!!! Would you be another of them?!

nereemac April 11 2012, 12:42:22 UTC

Yes, I think I probably would. I'd also say to give it a decent run before you decide for sure about it. I liked it well enough, but I wasn't OMG GRIPPED until the second season and I wasn't OMG I MUST KNOW WHAT HAPPENS NEXT RIGHT NOW until the third.

(Would it help or hurt to know that 2 of the three main characters are played by Australians?)

waltzmatildah April 14 2012, 07:52:27 UTC

I did know that about the Aussie actors in Fringe. In fact, I've been told repeatedly that I look a lot like Anna Torv. I'm sure I don't but yeah... I really do need to watch :)

nereemac April 14 2012, 23:20:10 UTC

Okay, I've only seen one photo of you, so I may not be the best judge, but other than being blonde, I don't really see that.

Anna Torv is a bit weird in the first season or so. Loads of people thought she just couldn't act, or that she was struggling to act and maintain the accent. In later seasons, though, she ends up playing two characters, and it becomes apparent that she can act, and that Olivia's unusual affect is a deliberate acting choice.

I kind of like it.

lowriseflare April 11 2012, 15:28:43 UTC

Ahaha, it totally was. But you answered with aplomb!

nereemac April 11 2012, 15:40:57 UTC

Oooh, my favourite thing to do anything with. (Second favourite: gusto.)

By the way, the second I hit post, I thought "argh, what about the big reveal of who was behind the Dollhouse?" but it's probably just as well I didn't get to say that because 3 Joss Whedon things out of 5 things would have displayed exactly how much of a geek I am.

Oops.
