Instead of whining about popcorn fic, it's time for a poll.
Poll the random poll of random things
Oops, somehow popcorn fic got in there anyway. But it wasn't whiny, so it's okay.
The very next movie in my Netflix queue? Inception. After I watch it, I'll post about it and Frequency, which I watched yesterday.

You mean Muppet Treasure Island? ;-)
That userpic is really cute, so consider that another push for Brave. (And since I don't feel like driving 25 miles for a movie, I'm guessing Brave will win anyway. Unless I suddenly go for web-slinging superheroes. I'm just not sure I need another Peter Parker, though...)

So yay, Brave wins!

I'm still bewildered about why there needed to be a reboot to SM anyway. Maguire's first was in 2002, which isn't all that long ago. And while the third movie wasn't so great, the other two were quite well done. Hmph.
I want a Wonder Woman movie!!!

As for popcorn fic, if you haven't had a chance to look over the last draft I sent you, then I could send the newest version. (I'm still altering a few things in chapter two even as I work on chapter three.) If you've already looked over it, no worries. I haven't changed a whole lot in chapter two; mostly working on three (and needing a proper MacGuffin).

*ahem*
Anyway.... I think if you have changed a lot, since this isn't a real beta read, I'll just continue with the version I have.
What exactly is a "MacGuffin," anyway?

I know, I was rather tired of the "Keep Calm" meme, but this one made me laugh, so... (I credited the maker on the userpic page, so you can snag it and do the same, if you wish.)
MacGuffin! Alfred Hitchcock made the term popular. Here's what wikipedia had to say:
In fiction, a MacGuffin (sometimes McGuffin or maguffin) is a plot device in the form of some goal, desired object, or other motivator that the protagonist (and sometimes the antagonist) is willing to do and sacrifice almost anything to pursue, often with little or no narrative explanation as to why it is considered so desirable. A MacGuffin, therefore, functions merely as "a plot element that catches the viewers' attention or drives the plot of a work of fiction".[1] In fact, the specific nature of the MacGuffin may be ambiguous, undefined, generic, left open to interpretation or otherwise completely unimportant to the plot. Common examples are money, ( ... )
