Fandom what?

[deedlit50]

My Flist is literally exploding with new fandoms, all of which are amazing/going on my list of things to check out immediately. I know, I know, yet more fandoms. How ever will I keep up with them all? But like sublunarymagic over on dreamwidth said, I feel like I'm "that adhesive ball in Katamari Damacy, collecting everything in my path."

Fist off,

I just watched the first episode of Suits yesterday! It was AWESOME. I want tons and tons and tons more!

Also, the number of fics for XMFC is INTIMIDATING, but so many of them are incredibly wonderful. I actually really enjoyed the movie too! Though I've no knowledge whatsoever of the comic 'verse or anything, really. It is, at the very least, funny and heartbreaking and also it's nice to look at the pretty people with superpowers. I enjoy superpowers.

LOL at bandom! I hear that place sucks people in and never lets them go. Good luck, dear!

I KNOW RIGHT?!?!?! I have yet to watch the second episode but omg, this show is made of WIN and puppy dogs and rainbows and proper! suit porn. I kind of don't know what to do with myself while watching.

I'm kind of terrified of diving head-first into it all. There is just SO MUCH and like, all this anger from the old school fans. I'll admit that like 100% of my x-men knowledge comes from the old animated tv show and video games-- so I'm not really hung up on staying true to the characters. But all of the commentary on how women and African Americans are portrayed in the film bothers me. I get that it's a light (oh look, explosions and capes and powers!) movie but details like that can really get under my skin sometimes. :/

I think I'm going to just end up trying to dl a copy online somewhere instead of spending cash to see it.

I JUST saw the second, and I'm liking it even MORE after this one. It has White Collar-esque feel to it, except a tad more well-defined than the earlier episodes of that show. :D

And yes, too many XMFC fics. Too MANY. I've no clue either about the characters! I think I missed out on the cartoon :( I want to watch them. I haven't read commentary about the movie, actually. I'm sure they're affecting though! I'm sort of glad I saw the movie early on, because of it -- though I admit I hadn't initially been so enthused, just because the third X-Men movie made me too sad.

Definitely DL if you're iffy! No reason to pay the inordinate theater ticket price. Rawr at them!

Sorry for taking so long to get back to you. I keep meaning to reply to comments as soon as I get them and to post more often but ugh, it never seems to work that way. I'm blaming the heat- it's been horrible and muggy for like the last two weeks and it's got me nervous about keeping my computer on for any length of time.

How are you surviving the summer?

I haven't watched the third episode yet although I've heard nothing but good things about it. Have you seen it yet? Are you still loving it? I need to find a steady place where I can download the episodes for free. Should I let you know if I'm successful in my search?

too many XMFC fics. Too MANY.I was surprised actually at how fast this fandom appeared and then disappeared from my flist's posts. I mean I kept hearing about how large the fandom is but I think I can count the number of fics/recs that my flist made on one hand. Do you have any recommendations for good ones? I'm not sure if I want to join a bunch more communities

SUITS OMG YES! I've been hooked since the pilot, which I've seen three times since it first aired, and the second episode really maintained the quality. They just need to do more with the ladies in the future and I will love it even more.

[deedlit50]

I still have to see the second episode! I'm trying to find a spot where I can dl it for free and then I'll be all over that like whoa.

Hey, do you know if any communities have been set up for Suits yet? I'm running a blank when I search for anything like that.

[shadowhuntress]

It looks like just suits_fic and usa_suits are active so far.

THANK YOU!!! While I love getting into a new fandom right at the start of things, sometimes it does make it hard to locate a steady place to haunt and new material.

I'm so excited about how many people on my flist seem to be picking up this fandom though. It seems like every day someone new is talking about it. :)

Now if only we could direct that sort of interest towards shows like SouthLAnd....

Hm, I haven't even heard about Suits yet. Sounds interesting though, heheehehe.

As for X-Men, I didn't think the movie sucked that bad. It was definitely better than the Wolverine movie, but then again that isn't very hard now is it?
You'll only have real problems with the movie if you've actually read the comics, as they kicked canon in the balls in quite a few places.
If you liked X-Men I-III, chances are you'll like this one too. Also, eyecandy!!!!!!

Can you get the first episode of Suits off of iTunes where you are? If not, I could try sending you my copy but I'm not sure if you'll be able to play it or not since iTunes sometimes does something wonky to their video files.

Hrmm, I'm actually on the search for a place I can get the second episode for free right now, so I'll try and pick up an independent copy of the first episode while I'm at it.

It's pretty much something you have to see-- even if it is a VERY American tv show.

[moony_mistress]

Mooneh saw Suits. Mooneh approves of Teh Gay. Now Mooneh can't wait for third episode. Ö.ö

ps: VERY American indeed, I loled about that fact, a lot. ;)

ps2: Mooneh has sent you a link, too.

[deedlit50]

Oh man, the second episode! I didn't think it could get much more but then they... and I... Just. Guh.

Why isn't there a place as well though out as sherlockbbc for Suits yet? I need a steady place to get episodes from-- especially since my realplayer converter is being temperamental. :(

How are you finding your downloads? Oh, and what program do you use to convert video files? I've been using megaupload a lot but the files keep getting botched when I try and convert them into something ipod friendly.
