Silly bit of fun. Do join in.

Yes, t_h_e_hamster is open for business.

Fancy yourself as a bit of a reviewer of movies, tv shows, books or musical acts? Just want to see what the hamster thinks? Join here:

t_h_e_hamsterI know I was going to start this years ago, but it never quite happened! It's not anything major and I really have no time for it, but I'm going to give a go at doing short reviews

I'm interested, especially if it sometimes involves ratings on the amount (or sad lack of) of gay/slash subtext or-actual-text in said movies, TV shows, etc, etc...

Hah, that said, I'm opinionated enough to review anything, LOL!

[haldoor]

Oh yes, there's never enough of that, is there? ha!

Goodie! I like a bit of reviewing myself, so here's hoping a few more people will join in and we can all get a few recommendations for future viewing/reading/listening! Thanks!

[theskimblishone]

Never enough. Just never!

(Sawyer/damn-I-can't-remember-the-actor's-name-and-I'm-too-lazy-to-google-it is one of the few men I find kind of hot. Your icon is made of win...)

Well, that's kind of handy, since he's one of my favourites! You'll be seeing him around here a lot, if you stick around! It's Josh Holloway, and I like to slash him, A LOT. I'm sure he's been around a few men's beds blocks in his time, and not alone! *waggles eyebrows*

This is a great idea! I would love to review things, except that I couldn't do it without, I don't know, not being serious. Not to mention the fact that I see movies about ten years after they come out (case in point, Star Trek which will be arriving on my doorstop on Tuesday).

[haldoor]

Oh, my love! Review anything in whatever fashion you like! Or just watch what others come up with, if you want! I'd love for you to join us! It's supposed to be fun and we all see things differently (or slashily if you're me! ;-P) so I'm happy if you want to play around unseriously! Oh, and don't worry, I'm as slow myself most of the time! I rarely see movies unless they're kids' ones, or I am determined, in the year they're released! I think I've been to about three more adult-skewed ones this year! I'm happy for old or new things to be reviewed, and books, tv and music wil l all be featured at times too - they certainly don't have to be new! Please, please come and play! ;-)

[jaydblu]

Okay, I'm in! So, why "the hamster"? Or dare I ask? o_O

[haldoor]

Umm, yeah. It's an acronym, but... hee, embarrassingly, I've forgotten the exact words...

Haldoor's A? Movie Series Television E? Reviews? something like that, but I can't for the life of me remember it just now. A few of us discussed this idea a couple of years back and were tossing around comm names and this one stuck. I even grabbed the name (with underscores in between as you see, due to the_hamster and thehamster already being taken) before someone else got it, but I never got around to doing much other than getting icons made back then. I'm so lazy and easily distracted!

Feel free to play around with the acronym! I may have to check back to those old entries from two years ago to find the correct answer... apparently I never even left the name in the comm profile (talk about dumb).

I have to join - you've already given me so many good recommendations, the prospect of more is too tempting to resist.

Sadly I'm crap at reviewing things. The best you're likely to get from me is "it was good" or "I hated this". Maybe I should see this as an opportunity to improve these badly lacking skills :)

And I too am intrigued with the name 'The Hamster' - do tell!

[haldoor]

Thank you! We're glad to have you along! I'm not much cop at reviewing either, other than to tell you how slash-tastic things are!!! But saying what you especially liked about something is always a good place to start!

I hope you'll join in at some point, anyway! It should be fun if everyone does!

Umm, eekily embarrassing, as I explained to jaydblu *points to me reply to her above*, I can't remember the whole answer to the name thing! I'll check back at some point and put it in the comm profile!
