Apr. 5th, 2005 09:37 ami can't believe i didn't say this yesterday, for i certainly thought it many, many times....
i almost didn't post about sin city because... i don't know. because i don't like to be negative? or something. but i hated that movie like i have hated few things in recent years. i despise it. i left feeling dirty and abused. i envied the people in the theater who walked out before the end. i don't know why i felt compelled to stay. because, sure, it was pretty. it was visually impressive and amazing as a realization of a graphic novel and yada yada. but come on, people. it took me back to the years when i dismissed so much of this genre out of hand for its portrayal of women. i know now that it's not all like this. but if i had seen this movie years ago, i might have closed that door and never cracked it open again.
it wasn't the violence. it wasn't even the glee in the violence, though that was certainly disturbing. it was the unrelenting male fantasy of the whole thing. i was bored and kept rolling my eyes. it's just pathetic.
ok, so that's it. i have expressed my hatred and i think i'm done with that.
oh. lj. i don't know how to get back into it. my computer troubles and my crazy schedule before that have left me longing to get back into regular flist reading and the spammalicious posting i'm used to but... it's like i cant' figure out how. it overwhelms me and i walk away and do something else instead. which could probably be interpreted as a really good thing in terms of general productivity and all. but it's not all good because i miss my connections here. and so i'm going to just try.
i think part of the problem is that there's so much that's been going on in my head in the past month or so. and i haven't really put it here and now it's like it stands in the way. but the thought of writing it all down is overwhelming. i don't know whether i will or not. and then there's all the stuff i had lined up to read and respsond to before the computer troubles. which i just don't have to time to get to now that it's all piled up. ::sigh:: all i can do is ignore it and go on for now, or i never will.
erk. enough of that. how about a meme? i really like memes that make other people do the work. gacked from many, most recently![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
coloredvision. i don't think i'll be able to come up with 15 fandoms, though. we'll see. (hm, i can come up with a bunch but i'm pushing it a little by calling them 'my fandoms.' i read or have read in all of them, though, so let's say that counts.)
a. Post a list of 15 fandoms.
b. Have your friends list guess your favourite character from each one.
c. When guessed, bold the line, include the character name, and write a sentence about why you like that character.
