I am SO TIRED of reading, thinking about, and doing admin things related to Boldthrough '07 or whatever we're calling this. I just cannot mentally take it anymore. Really. It has completely sapped my joy from fandom, which I had only recently re-gained on account of the OotP film and DH, and I am simply frazzled. I'm still here, I'm still doing admin things and planning things, but to be completely honest my heart is not in it at all. I'm just doing it because, well, fandom is sort of my second job, and I know that's no one's fault but my own. I'm too much of a control freak and guilt-ridden to give any of it up, but lately oh how I wish I could.

In other news, my plagiarised fic is STILL up at FF.net (HERE)!!!!! I have emailed the mods, flagged it for adult content, and hit the button about stolen content. I KNOW other people have done the same as I've gotten some private messages via FF.net. SO WHY IS IT STILL THERE? :( Pit of Voles, I hate you. :(

Something disturbing I just found (and apparently this was announced in March, when I was Mostly Dead from cellulitis, so cut me some slack if you knew this already ;) ): Gerard Butler to Star in Remake of Escape from New York. I...have no words. Well actually, I do. In the form of a letter:

Dear Hollywood Execs:
While I am fully aware that history repeats itself and we're all part of the circle of life, yadda yadda yadda, I am asking you, from the bottom of my heart which may or may not be entombed in Davy Jones' locker, pretty please, with some fuckin' sugar on top, stop with the remakes of classics and cult classics. There is seriously NO NEED.

Oh, you need proof, you say?

How about the Psycho remake? One of the most perfect horror movies ever filmed, by HITCHCOCK NO LESS, and you felt the need to remake it?

Or An Affair to Remember? HONESTLY. How DARE you try to fill Cary Grant's shoes? I think he's still sexily rolling in his grave over that one.

And the impending Footloose with Zac Efron? KEVIN BACON RULES ALL. THE WORLD IS CONNECTED TO KEVIN BACON. HOW CAN YOU DO A RE-MAKE OF THIS FILM, AND WITH A TWEE DISNEY BOY NO LESS? Sure, he's good in Hairspray, but HE IS NO KEVIN BACON.

I could go on, but I think I've made my point.

And gee, I didn't even bring up Butler's, um, interesting turn in the latest Phantom of the Opera film. Oh, wait. I just did. :|

No love,
me

Lastly, Melly now hates quite a number of us. Somehow, she had not yet seen the awesomeness that is the 1-18-08 trailer. Oh, JJ Abrahms. I kind of want to eat your geeky, brilliant brain. ♥
