Jun. 14th, 2008 10:25 pmWhy is there no Roger/Davenport fic??
Why? Why? Why?
Someone should get on that right away.

- I kinda really want to write a strongly-worded letter to George Lucas (especially concerning Revenge of the Sith) but I'm afraid I'd end up sounding like a wacko to him- which I don't particularly want. But I think he should explain himself, and why he *had* to make that ending so absolutely heart-wrenching.
- Speaking of SW, I kinda want to write a AU story from the ending of AotC toward the beginning of RotS, but so far no definite plot has popped up. (It would, of course, be Padme/Anakin-centric, and overwrought with cameos by Obi-Wan because HE IS THE COOLEST JEDI THERE EVER WILL BE! And Chancellor Palpatine would've died all ready because the other Jedi would've all ready ousted him as being on the dark side- how no one suspected him of being a Sith Lord earlier is beyond me.)
- Speaking of evil chancellors who should've minded their own business, and other plotbunnies which will definitely escape me after today, I also kind of want to write a Qui-Gon/Obi-Wan reunion story like after Master Yoda teaches Obi-Wan to commune with his dead master, but I wouldn't even know where to start, and the mechanics of it all. But it would be *so cool* to read!
- I've also been thinking I'd like to write a Han/Leia story while possibly exploring the Leia/Luke/Han love triangle before Luke & Leia find out the truth about themselves.
Story Ideas I wish I Could Write, But Lack of Inspiration/Time Keeps Me From Doing So:
1. A Scooby Doo fic where Fred & Daphne finally get together, and the rest of the gang isn't at all surprised.
2. A Howl's Moving Castle/Doctor Who crossover fic in which Sophie meets the Doctor and Rose, and they led her to Howl, without her meeting the Witch of the Wastes and getting cursed to old age.
3. A Troy fic in which Briseis doesn't leave with King Priam, but chooses to stay with Achilles.
4. A Pyramus & Thisbe story/drabble.
5. A Cupid & Psych story/drabble.
6. A Spirited Away fic in which Chihiro and Haku are reunited.
This is obviously incomplete. I'm sure I'll keep adding more. But for now, this shall act as sort of a list for stories I want to do/might do...someday.

Jan. 2nd, 2008 10:40 pmI- I kinda want this, only IT'S NOT REAL!!
Oy, only in the Twilight fandom.
Now, it just makes me dread the real movie because, apparently, it's not as good as all the fanpeople make it with their fake movie posters and choices of casting.
Because now I'm used to Emily Browning as Bella and Gaspard Ulliel as Edward...But, but they're not the real movie cast!! (And on the flip side, I can't see Kristen Stewart as Bella or Robert Pattinson as Edward. It's not that I have anything against them, they're as lovely as Emily & Gaspard in my mind as actors, but whenever I went browsing through the Twilight communities, it was always Gaspard & Emily on icons and manips playing Edward & Bella. After awhile, I started seeing that too. How do you switch on your brain so that Kristen & Robert seem perfect for the roles?)
****
My head has been hurting all day, hopefully it'll stop by tomorrow.

I would call you up every Sunday night
Sep. 23rd, 2007 08:19 pmI just want to rant a bit about books that're turned into movies.
So, has anyone here read those T*Witches books by H.B. Gilmour and Randi Reisfeld? Well, I loved them in elementary school and in 2006, I think it was, Disney Channel made a movie based on the books. Only it wasn't really a T*Witches movie, but something completely different that just had the same names as the two major characters in the book and the same premise (two twin sisters who find each other and do magic to battle evil).
I was disappointed, to say the least, that the movie wasn't as good as the books. I just wish that the people who created the movie really made a T*Witches movie, and not just an adaptation that was similiar to the books. I really wish that there was a movie for the books because I thought the books were pretty good and I would've liked to see a movie based on them... I dunno I guess I'm just saying that the movie disappointed me severly because it was so flat and cheesy. Not one character was the same as their book counterparts and they lacked characterization. I know it's Disney and it's for kids, but I truly believe that the movie could've been made a bit better and still retained that innocence for its audience. I was so excited when they annouced the movie, but it really didn't hold up to my expectations and that's what makes me feel so hopeless. (Also, I was thinking of something I heard RTD say once about how he wanted to make his new adaptation of Doctor Who good so that kids who saw it would know what was good and demand that of their television as they got older, but Disney is so counteracting what RTD is trying to do with his Doctor Who that it makes me feel hopeless for the kids who watch Disney but don't watch DW; did I say that I was feeling hopeless about this situation? It bears repeating, honestly.)
And I also think that they could have the movie be exactly like the books because the books aren't that long (it's not like they're HP length where they have to cut out almost everything).
It's a moot point, isn't? Because the movie people never listen and they take liberties with making books into movies when fans clearly don't like those liberties the movie people take! I understand that when making a book into a movie that some things have to be different because most movies run for only two hours, but they can have the major points/plots the same. Fans will be receptive to that, honestly. Otherwise, what's the point of making a book into a movie if you're going to change everything? Then don't say it's based on a book or it's this book turned into this movie because then the fans will get pissed off. Seriously. It's okay if a book inspires you, but if you change everything when you make that book into the movie, doesn't it not become a movie adaptation of that book? It becomes something clearly different. Something clearly bad.
(Oh, btw, the mouse problem is solved. Fast, I know. I have the best parents in the world. They ran off to the store this morning and brought me a wireless mouse, so that when I woke up [at 1pm, embarrasing really], everything was working- and for only $26. It's not too bad.)
