I was going to do the standard year end top 5s but my interests have been so erratic that it seemed more sensible to just lump everything together. I'd like to state for the record that I really did try to make this look less ugly but this new LJ formatting just isn't playing fair! WARNING: IMAGE HEAVY.

I think part of it is that the whole HP fandom was so consumed with ~feelings in the summer (I talked about DHii/HP extensively when it came out - here and here!) and although parts of that were delightful, the constant debates and discussions can be exhausting and I came out of it feeling a little battered. As much as I enjoy sharing and participating in fandom, there's a part of me that just wants to cling to my own experience/canon etc., to internalise it.

I thought 'The Tree of Life' was pretty wonderful but it's a love it or hate it movie. When I saw it several people were really unimpressed and the attendant said it was the first showing he'd supervised where people hadn't walked out halfway through. If you like slow-moving, highly philosophical movies then you might like it but if not then I'd give it a miss!

As I was saying to Emma, I'm pretty apathetic about TVD these days - I haven't seen the last few eps and I can't bring myself to care about it restarting. They've taken pretty much everything I loved about the show and have thrown it by the wayside to appease the actors and the tweenage fangirls. We'll always have 1x17-2x08 (and 'The Last Day'!)
