Movie trailers ...

[apocalypsos]

The Libertine -- YAAAAY! New Johnny Depp movie! Oh, I really want to see this one.

Duane Hopwood -- Watch as David Schwimmer tries to do for his career what The Good Girl did for Jennifer Aniston.

First Descent -- I'm not much for snowboarding, partly for the fact that you won't be seeing me sticking boards to my feet and sliding down mountains and partly because it's too freaking cold, but kudos to anybody's who's up for it.

Monster House -- Oh, want to see. WANT TO SEE.

Ellie Farmer -- Meh. Although the Johnny Depp reference was pretty funny.

And here's a question in the vein of "Which five fictional characters would you punch in the face?":

You are given the ability to eliminate three fictional characters from existence. Any three you want, any fandom. Any bad things they've done won't have happened, any good things they've done can have been done by someone else. Who do you eliminate?

1. Ana-Lucia, Lost -- Of course, that's working off the assumption that someone else will eliminate Kate. ;) But seriously, as much as I like her bitchy ass, I can do without her. So far, she's done not one thing to convince me that she needs to stay. Maybe she protected the Tailaways, but I can't begin to describe how much I don't give a damn about that.

2. Dan, One Tree Hill -- God, I don't even watch this show and I could do without this character. How is it humanly possible for one character to never, EVER do one redeeming thing? It isn't, and that's what drives me nuts. I'll be flipping through the channels and hit that show and catch him ALWAYS being absolutely repellent. Everything he does is selfish or cruel -- everything. Who the hell can watch that? The other characters have enough problems just fine, and then over there is this mustache-twirling evil bastard. It's ridiculous.

3. Anita Blake, Anita Blake Vampire Hunter -- Which would pretty much negate the entire book series, but really, would that be much of a loss? The first few books were good, but I've stricken them from my memory and I'm not exactly suffering from the loss.

EDIT: Bush forcefully attacks critics of the war. In Tobyhanna. Which is maybe an hour's drive from my house. Damn it, I could have gone and thrown things at his monkey head.

A movie about skiing or boarding that isn't a Warren Miller production? That's... that's... sacrilege!

Re: 3

The entire book series could have been about Edward. That would have been much better.

[apocalypsos.livejournal.com]

Oh, YES. I would have read a book series about Edward. He's awesome. :)

[vampychick.livejournal.com]

WORD. Right up until that bit in Obsidian Butterfly where his fiancee and the big-eyed children came on-scene, but I think we can chalk that up to Anita's bad influence, don't you?

Duncan Kane from Veronica Mars

Do I have to tell you why??? ;)

[apocalypsos.livejournal.com]

Ain't that the truth. I don't hate the guy at all, but it would be really nice if he didn't exist.

[tinylegacies.livejournal.com]

I don't hate him either.

I just think he's a huge waste of air time & space.

[apocalypsos.livejournal.com]

Oh, yeah. He has no energy to him. It's like he's an inflatable toy with a never-ending bank account.

[valerie]

And has the acting ability of dry toast.

[apocalypsos.livejournal.com]

Yeah, that too.

[loopychew.livejournal.com]

Actually, he gets a bit better in the second season, or at least is showing the potential.

[miggy.livejournal.com]

My first answer to this? Always and forever: Hagrid.

[lots42.livejournal.com]

Except for Gawp, Hagrid always has rocked.

HOLY SHIT THE AVALANCHE THIMGUMY!!!

Damn it, I could have gone and thrown things at his monkey head.

Just as well you didn't, they probably don't let you write fic in Guantanamo.

[lots42.livejournal.com]

Way I hear it, T.P. probably -could- write fic there. It's not all Abu Gharib Gone Wild.

[lots42.livejournal.com]

I can remove three fictional characters from existence?

1) Draco Malfoy - Force J.K. Rowling to get creative. Can't blame everything on the little rugrat.

2) Shannon - Yes, yes, yes, we both know. Anywho, all she's done is whine and been matched badly with Sayid. Rose should watch Vincent because she needs happy. And Sayid, without Shannon, would probably hook up with Kate and then we can see Jack brood some more. Because there's not enough of Jack brooding.

3) Welsey Crusher - There was some good points. When you have a supergenius living on your ship, not utilizing his skills is dumb. And Captain Picard is rarely dumb. But because he has the hots for his mom for reasons unknown, Picard never kicked Wesley off after the eight jillionth time he's jeaprodized the ship.

[pescivendolo.livejournal.com]

I would remove Wesley Crusher too. Although possibly Geordi instead. There was no character development with either of them. They were too perfectly good and moderately useful and uninteresting. My biggest beef with TNG has always been that they filled the ship with uninteresting, unsympathetic, unrealistic characters (and way too many humans).

Negating characters

[harmonyfb.livejournal.com]

I'd say Buffy, but we all know how that wish worked out.

Damn, why don't I have a vampire Willow icon when I need one?

[stevie-jane.livejournal.com]

Only 3? *is sad*

1. Ginny Weasley - she's a waste of space, and very much a Mary-Sue.
2. Ross Gellar - he's not funny, he's just irritating.
3. Fred Burkle - she can do anything! Of course she's wonderful! OMG FRED BEST NERD EVER. Eww.

I concur

[pescivendolo.livejournal.com]

Ross is so annoying.

[erinlin.livejournal.com]

Little Enzo, from ReBoot. Way to screw up Matrix's character arch! He needs to die now.

[loopychew.livejournal.com]

*watches the Duane Hopwood trailer* ...wait, that was Janeane Garofalo? Holy shit, she's unrecognizable as a blonde!

[dragonsinger.livejournal.com]

Am snatching your meme. Me likey!
