'So then I just HAD to find out ...' - a semi-meta post!

Jul 02, 2006 00:01

As we all know, H_H is a multifandom community, and I doubt that many of us are familiar with every fandom represented. So here's what I'm currently curious about. Has anyone else been so intrigued by a previously unfamiliar character in H_H that she/he saw the movie, read the book or played the game (or etc, etc.) in order to meet that character ( Read more... )

meta, ooc

The most I've done so far is wiki-ing (to find out, in dismay, that the first male to talk to Mel isn't quite as he seems), but I've already read Good Omens and am deeply in love with all of the characters from there.

I want to watch Highlander now, thanks to Methos.

Oh God I'm terrible. Out comes the list.

I read Ender's Game for Peter and Ender; bought Good Omens yesterday; Watched the whole two series of Veronica Mars (Thanks Dick-mun!!!); Read some of Gogo-muns comics of JtHM; I watched Master and Commander; I watched Scrubs and I've started watching Doctor Who (The last two are JD's fault, they were bound to happen soon). I also WILL watch Kill Bill soon, I promise you Gogo!

And many more to come.

I can lend you the whole JtHM series, if you like, once Scary-Mentor-sama gives me them back. ^_^

*Glomps!!!* Yes XD

Actually, I don't have the very first issue coz I don't really like it all that much but I can definitely lend you all the others, which are made of awesome win.

Let's see...

-- I've watched Master and Commander: The Far Side of the World a whole bunch of times and have bought (so far) the first two Aubrey-Maturin novels to learn more about Stephen and others. Prima-mun is amazing, and learning the canon only shows me that more.
-- I've read Johnny the Homicidal Maniac because of Nny-mun's enabling.
-- I've watched Kill Bill several times and read the former script - and then picked up Yuki!
-- I watched Clue for the first time when it was on a movie channel shortly after Mrs. White showed up.
-- Wimbledon is on YouTube waiting for me because of Deiter and Paul Bettany, yum-- I've avidly taken in everything ZEX-mun has ever linked about ZEX ( ... )

Well, I had read/seen the book/movie when they first came out, but h_h got me to do a refresher course on Jurassic Park (including the sequels, which I hadn't bothered with) to RP with Grant, which led to applying as Malcolm because Jeff Goldblum rocks that part.

I just paid full retail got the Sentinel s1 box set & have watched the pilot already based on Laura's recent conversation with Blair - I had a rough idea what the series was about, but had no idea it had so much potential Twin Peaks overlap.

Of COURSE I had to go dig through the Strong Bad Emails at homestarrunner.com, because those characters are cracked-out enough in context - take them out of context and it's like megacrack.

I've never been tempted to watch Scrubs, but I may have to dl a few eps just because our Cox and JD so rock.

wh0_kill3d_m3 July 2 2006, 17:25:52 UTC

There are quite a few eps of Scrubs on youtube.

I've started reading the Aubrey/Maturin series (just finished book 3) and watched "Master and Commander." I've even written some M&C fanfiction and plan on writing more. Yikes!

I re-read "Good Omens," which I read a very long time ago. Still don't like Terry Pratchett, but Crowley is cool.

I really want to see "Kill Bill." I'll probably buy it the next time I'm at the store.

I already liked Homestar, but I've been watching more of the toons to become more familiar with Homsar and Senor Cardgage.

I've been wanting to read The Dead Trilogy but have been unable to find it at the local bookstore. I need to order it.

Ed-mun has kindly linked me to an online version of the Full Metal Alchemist manga. As I normally dislike anime and manga (don't like the art), this is a pretty major thing for me. ;)

I'd like to read more Jhonen Vasquez stuff. (Any good comic book stores in Austin?)

I want to see some of the TV shows everyone references here - especially Firefly, Farscape, and Scrubs. Alas, I have no television, so if anyone can ( ... )

Any good comic book stores in Austin?

This is the best. Hands. Down. Huge stock, nice staff. When you go, tell 'em I sent you. (By my real name, of course. ;) ) They've got all the Jhonen stuff, and if they don't have it, they can order it for you.

profmoony July 2 2006, 16:20:35 UTC

Oh, cool - thanks! And don't worry, I won't go in there saying that Susan Sto Helit sent me. ;)

Damn, I missed meeting Jaime Hernandez! I would've squeed and fangirled all over him, though, so it's probably just as well...

sensiblesusan July 2 2006, 20:01:06 UTC

*g* They're really cool people. I was in there today and noted that they've got several copies of the JTHM compilation, as well as some of the Fillerbunny material. It didn't look like they had any copies of Squee! or I Feel Sick, but like I said, they can order it if you ask.
