You know what I need to do next year for Yuletide?

[apocalypsos]

There's a request on the list that just says, "RPF-Misc. Actors." Nothing else. And while a visit to the Dear Santa letter tells exactly which actors they want, all I could think when I saw it was, "OMG HARDCORE CRACK." I'm going to ask for that category next year and just say, "Pick whoever you want and write the crackiest idea that comes into your head. David Hasselhoff is secretly a magician! Paris, Lindsay and Britney are secretly Charlie's Angels! Ryan Seacrest is a giant chicken! Go nuts! WOOHOO."

And now I'm watching I Love the 80s and they just showed the trailer for Cloverfield and you know what? I've realized that I *adore* the situations JJ Abrams puts his characters in -- plane crash, giant monster attacking New York, soooo my type of shit -- and HAAAAATE the backstories. The more I read about the mythology behind Cloverfield, the more I don't want to go see it, which takes a lot when you're blowing shit up.

There was a request like that... with no details. The IRC chat went completely bonkers coming up with insane possibilities.

Aww, I wish there were no details. The blank one makes it way more hilarious. David Hasselhoff was definitely my pick for it, although I'd have wanted to talk to my uncle first to get something hilarious on him to stick in as he went to high school with him.

Oh well, I hope when the archive opens, I'll discover that some brave person wrote something cracky without looking at the person's LJ for the letter.

I'm on my fourth stocking stuffer/treat/whatever. I should stop.

They mythology will probably be glossed over anyway. Go get popcorn during those 10 minutes.

Ryan Seacrest is a giant chicken!

I. . . I think you've discovered something there. Something big. Something world shaking.

See, that's the attitude I try and fosted. I didn't care that Matthew Broderick wasn't fighting classic Godzilla. He was being chased around by a big scary monster while sexy French guy tried to seduce him and mini-monsters kept eating the expendable people. And that was okay with me.
