Top Five - 02

[ithildyn]

Since I couldn't come up with five for her first choice, grachonok picked a new one.

Top 5 things you want to strangle canon authors for?1: The three Star Wars prequels. Totally ruined something I'd been so eagerly looking forward to since the day Return of the Jedi came out. I try and ignore their existence at this point [g

I can't think of five! I have one, well it's two, though in the same movie.

[Pouts] No fair!

Okay, how about this one? What are your top five dramatic death scenes! (You're going to end up hating me :-P)

[ithildyn]

Sorry! I guess I just don't pay attention to those sorts of things :)

[jinxed_wood]

Aww! Does that mean I should pick a third top 5 question?

[ithildyn]

Because I'm warped that way, I find death much more memorable than love [g]

[endaewen]

I don't care for the prequel movies either. There is one exception though: the music from Revenge of the Sith. I won't watch it, but I love the soundtrack.

[ithildyn]

The soundtracks were always good.

What's wrong with Anita Blake now? I'm only on book six or seven.

[ithildyn]

Narcissus In Chains is where she really started to lose me, but I plugged along till Incubus Dream, hoping that things would improve. They didn't. That's the last one I read.

Pretty much anything to try and explain would spoil upcoming books for you. Let's just say I got tired of Anita having sex with anything that so much as moved. If you took out the sex scenes, you'd be lucky to be left with a novella.

I kept on - the last couple have started edging back into having an actual plot :)

The newest one was a real test - it's got Edward in it - and as I wrote in my review over at otterevilreads, if Anita and Edward had had sex, I was going to give up plus selling/donating all the books I own. But they didn't, so I'll continue reading :) (I think that's vague enough with no real spoilers)

[dallion]

Edward should get his own books. He's such a badass =D

[miss_bushido]

Totally agree with 1 and 3 of the first list. JFC. I hate George Lucas so much for what he did to that series. And, like you, deny the existence of the first three cinematic abortions movies.

And making Marion into a damsel in distress for the last Indiana Jones movie {which I barely recognise as anything worthwhile anyway} was a douche move too.

[ithildyn]

I try not and be bitter, but it's hard sometimes [g]

Re: #5 - Wordy McWorderson. With me, it's gotten to the point where I was so turned off the later AB books that I can't even bear to go back to my AB fics, because the character I wrote is just so different from what she's become in the books. Sigh.

[ithildyn]

[nods] So disappointing.
