Nostalgia for some really very bad times


29th-Dec-2009 06:50 pm - And I'm still preoccupied with the movie...
[info]furius
"His incredible untidiness, his addiction to music at strange hours, his occasional revolver practice within doors, his weird and often malodorous scientific experiments, and the atmosphere of violence and danger which hung around him made him the very worst tenant in London." - The Dying Detective by Arthur Conan Doyle.

(Worst tenant, and Watson's best friend).

"Any studies in Sherlock Holmes must be, first and foremost, studies in Dr. Watson. If the sophists have been borrowed from the Platonic dialogue, one element at least has been borrowed from Greek drama... Watson provides what the Holmes drama needs-- a Chorus. He represents the solid, orthodox, respectable view of the world in general; his drabness is accentuated by contrast with the limelight which beats upon the central figure. He remains stable amid the eddy and flux of circumstance." - Ronald A. Knox

So, mystery solved, Watson's Faramir? 8D

I still can't figure out why there are Greek statues on the bow windows though? Why that little extra touch beyond inspiring slash inference?

  • [info]gabrielleabelle: Memo - But just cause you like something, doesn't mean that there aren't problems with it. Hell, every show ever made has problems with it. It's not a reflection on the quality of the show. Just on how the show stands up in the social issues department. -
    (tags: glee fandom meta race gender sexuality)

  • [info]princessofg: Escape From Reality. If You Can. - I think any sort of worry about Crucially Important Difficult Topics like racism or sexism perhaps crowding out writing issues, or canon discussions, or the revisiting of various fandom concerns like the nature of canon in an RPS fandom or the definition of fanon or the role of Mary Sues is a false dichotomy. There is no either/or here. All these topics are important and they all belong in our metadiscussion. -
    (tags: fandom privilege discussions meta)

  • idlerat: Avatar: I did not like it. Also stuff about fantasy and effects in movies. - But why does this movie convince people it's NOT animation? I think it's the coincidence between this slight of hand (this isn't a cartoon, it's so real!) and the tacky and offensive "nature" brand with which Avatar coats race, gender, economics, sex, religion, politics, and everything important that kicks my sense of bad faith, already at 11, up a few notches. -
    (tags: watching 4thwall culture)

  • r_becca: Discussion on reviews - There's a lot of reasons why people don't appreciate critique in fests, and I think that some of them might not be the best. Frankly, no one wants to have their failings detailed in front of others. But the biggest reason that I'm willing to screen critique in the fest is that the authors are anonymous, and thus kind of defenseless. -

  • la_vie_noire: Who, who the hell pointed a gun at my head - racism is based on erasure, genocide and domination of other cultures. Does Japan has a recent -or with still some impact on people's lives- history of doing that? Yes. Towards White Nations*? Big resonant no. Nor does any non-white culture. -

30th-Dec-2009 11:39 am - FIC: "The Goddess Delusion" (Ten, Romana | PG-13)
[info]lizbee
Title: The Goddess Delusion
Summary: Romana's alive. In a way, that's the first problem.
Rated: PG-13
Notes: This was actually written in 2007, as part of a group project that was meant to be completed before season four aired. As you can see, that ... didn't quite work out. It has been quite comprehensively jossed, but if you're in the mood for some AU shenanigans, this is your lucky day. Or, you know, not. Thanks to the betas, [info]cesario, [info]prof_pangaea and [info]violetisblue.

On the Teaspoon.

Persons interested in a sequel (in which the Doctor and Romana are kidnapped by radical feminist pirates, and that's not even the beginning of their problems) should go haunt [info]violetisblue's Teaspoon profile; she should be posting it in the near future. But I shall, of course, add a link when it goes up.

Ok, Mods if these have been posted just delete, but I didn't find them and I hope I got this cut thing right, I've never done it before.

Does anyone know when or if the dates will be released? I haven't been able to find that information.

Wasn't Community nominated for a people's choice award? For best new tv comedy? I could have sworn I cast my vote for it when voting was open.

When I go over to look at the nominees now, it's not there.
