Fri, May. 29th, 2009, 06:16 pm Things That Are Pissing Me Off This Week
Buffy RebootNotice how I didn't mention the "without Joss" bit. Because that's irrelevant. I actually find the whole idea of rebooting Buffy now completely offensive on multiple levels. For one, the series ended in 2003 - you don't reboot something that recent, unless it sucked hard the first time around (see: the original Buffy movie, The Hulk). Or you're a greedy piece of trash that decided, "Oh, vampires are popular again!" Buffy was a fantastic and influential show. Instead of taking a close look at why that was, some greedy pieces of trash decide to ignore its significance and will in all likelihood strip Buffy of whatever made it special, tarnishing the franchise's name in the process. God damn, I can't wait for Hollywood to die; television and film can be so much more. Because coming up with an original thought or hiring quality writers and actors is too hard. And it's also offensive because Buffy is technically still going. In comic form. But, you know, comics don't count as an art form or even entertainment, silly. Let's just shit on the comics (one of the few big titles high on strong female characters and low on cheesecake), and reboot a story that's still going. Brilliant. Absolutely brilliant. Hopefully, this idea gets no where and dies a quiet death. If there is a Buffy reboot, no, I don't have to watch it. But I still find it wildly offensive. I would have been open to something along the lines of an original vampire slayer, in a different time period. But, no, let's take the laziest, money-grubbing path and expect everyone to like it. From my post on sonjadenise, where I also rant a bit about the Jon & Kate melodrama, Entertainment Weekly general fail about Nurse Jackie and Adam Lambert. P.S. Was already going to check out Nurse Jackie for Edie Falco. Now that I know what it's about...I have a hard time not seeing myself writing a crossover with House. Oh my god.

This is probably the singularly most amazing and gay thing ever. How haven't I seen this episode yet? Added porny music is A+. This entry was originally posted at http://ranrata.dreamwidth.org/49786.html. Please comment there using OpenID.

Tue, May. 12th, 2009, 02:45 pm Failure to Communicate & Both Sides Now

I don't know if I'll post this anywhere, 'cause I don't know if there's anywhere it really belongs. It's about House/Cuddy, but fans of the pairing probably won't like it much. I decided to watch all of Doris Egan's episodes (because all but one or two are my absolute favorite episodes of the series), the first of which is "Failure to Communicate." And I noticed there were some parallels to "Both Sides Now." (And kind of interesting in contrast to this meta I wrote.) Since I write essays compulsively, here I am.

Sun, May. 10th, 2009, 07:05 pm Star Trek

I am the daughter of a Trekkie (Aunt: "Trekkers! Trekkers!), so I watched and enjoyed Stark Trek by default, and sometimes make somewhat obscure references to both the original series and The Next Generation. So, of course, I saw the reboot film.

Sat, May. 2nd, 2009, 05:50 pm Testing, testing...

Alright, all my entries and comments have been imported to my Dreamwidth account, so it's officially home. Just testing out this handy-dandy cross-poster. Still have to update some old links, delete some duplicate entries, etc. Fun... EDIT: Testing the editing part of the cross-poster. Also thinking about not bothering with forwarding links on old IJ entries. Not a ton of people were reading me only at IJ, so...more work than it's really worth. EDIT EDIT: Coooool. It works. Anyway, done cleaning up at the new home base. Check it out! This entry was originally posted at http://ranrata.dreamwidth.org/46635.html. Please comment there using OpenID. Fri, May. 1st, 2009, 05:02 pm Hello, Dreamwidth!
http://ranrata.dreamwidth.org/Not anything there yet, but it's going to be my fandom home, and I'll cross-post to IJ and *gasp* LJ, since they make it so easy. ...now for the hard part: importing old entries, fixing up links, etc. I've been wanting to phase out the name NekoCat - it's just a name to me, but it really doesn't suit me anymore. So, yeah. I registered Ranrata at LJ as well for whenever I feel like dropping $15 for a rename token. I won't smack you if you keep calling Neko or NekoCat =) Thu, Apr. 30th, 2009, 09:17 pm Manipulative Bitches

TPTB are manipulative bitches. I love and hate them. Jesus Christ. Wilson's clothes in House's room. Now this video. And a Doris Egan season finale. Bastards!
