47 Ronin

"47 Ronin Official Trailer #1 (2013) - Keanu Reeves, Rinko Kikuchi Movie HD" (Watch on YouTube)

OMG, LOOKS AMAZING! Keanu Reeves, Rinko Kikuchi and Hiroyuki Sanada! And the special effects look fantastic!!!

And, of course, there's a race wank already, bashing Keanu as the "white guy". LOL, Keanu and white? In what universe? His father is half-Hawaiian, half-Chinese and he's playing a character of mixed heritage, for Christ's sake. So him being cast in this is in no way different than John Cho being cast in Star Trek.

I, for one, will want to see this in the cinema. Looks mind-blowing!

Various Teen Wolf Spoilers

( I hope these are true. That, for once, Jeff Davis isn't overhyping what's happening. Especially the Derek thing. I NEED the Derek thing to happen! )

James McAvoy! James!!!

First thing first: This GIF is fabulous...

I have had a shitty evening, fandom wise.

First, I decided to leave the Teen Wolf fandom because I just couldn't deal with all the shit that was being thrown around there: I mean, really? The show is homophobic because it dared to kill a lesbian? Really?! The PC demands are reaching the XMFC fandom levels (remember when those nutters demanded a special warning for fics where Charles didn't end up in a wheelchair because they considered them ableist?) and it's ruining my fun. So, instead of going with my head through the wall, I decided to leave. I'll still be watching and enjoying the show, reading fanfics and stuff like that, but only in my corner of the web, not touching any more metas or reviews with a ten foot pole!

And then some other things happened too. The less said, the better.

*sigh* Why can't people simply enjoy stuff without nitpicking it to death? Remember the good old days of yahoo groups for shows like The Sentinel? For Gundam Wing? Before the Crusaders for Social Justice invaded them and started ordering everybody around - like the whole 1x2 vs. 1x2x1 idiocy? What happened to the fun we all had together? Now it's all about "subverting sexist tropes" and attacking the writers left and right and whatnot and I just can't deal with this. For me, TV and movies and books, they're an escape. I really don't need or want the shit that I encounter in RL forced down my gullet in fandom too. For that I can watch the news.

So, to squeeze at least something good out of this crappy evening, I ordered the anime Tactics, episodes 1-13 on DVD, used and for not even Ł8, shipping incl. I really needed something to cheer me up and this is my favorite anime! Haruka and Kantarou... I still remember the fic I wrote about them, "Nettles"...
