James Bond

[pepper_field]

The new James Bond film is very, very cool. It was a bit like an AU James Bond movie as written by a really good fanfic writer. Let me explain.

I presume there is James Bond fanfic out there, but I don't intend to read it, because I suspect it'll mostly be guns and girls and guns and fast cars and guns and supervillains taking over the world and

gateworld fanfic??

[jewelsdelphina]

Do you know what happened to the gateworld fanfic? Months ago when they re-formatted most of the site, the fanfic search engine/database went down. It doesn't seem to have come back up, any idea why? I'm kind of glad it did, that's when I found fanfic.net and found thousands more stories. I just wondered what happened...

Uff. No, I wish I did know. I've stopped looking there for the moment. It probably says somewhere on the forums, but I haven't looked there in a while.

I recommend Heliopolis, whilst we wait, though: http://www.sg1-heliopolis.com/main.php

I wonder if they just didn't have enough server/disk/etc. space and stopped entirely. I've been too lazy to search their forums. I've been to heliopolis before. I think I like ffic.net the best though. :)

ps. apparently my work website screener thing now thinks heliopolis is porn. Hee hee. Well, some of it could be construed that way.

Huh.

Maybe I'll actually go see it. I could live with the guns and the explosions and the cars and the gadgets, but I kind of can't stand Bond, usually, because of the constant womanizing. But if it's not as bad in this one, and he's actually got some (GASP!) depth, perhaps I'll see it.

I don't promise you'll like it. I usually kinda like Bond films, so I'm probably a bit warped that way anyhow. Mind you, I don't really like Bond as a person. I think I like it for the nostalgia more than anything. But in this one, the woman standing up to him doesn't feel quite so tokenistic - and he's the one offering to give it all up for her. And there's angst, and feelings, and buildings sinking into Venetian canals...

It doesn't end well, though, so he'll probably be back to the womanizing, martini-swigging, smart alec we all know and... find slightly repulsive, next time.

Love your icon. Heh.

Heh

Love Cleolinda. She's the author of "Movies in 15 Minutes", and she's got scads of great icons that she's made...like this one. :)
