After hearing all this Facebook uproar, I went and checked my "Other" inbox to see all the messages I'd been missing out on, and there was only one. It reads as follows:
I was impressed when i saw your profile today on Facebook and I will like to established a long lasting relationship , I'm new to these online dating world and was surfing around to find a profile that will suit what I'm looking for on here . I came across your profile and Drop by with a Yellow Rose that Signify friendship, I hope you accept my Rose if YES get back to me and tell me more about yourself and I will get back and do the same, i look forward to read from you, i wish to read from you soon , Hugs ,...I'd totally ignore it if it wasn't the best offer I've gotten this year. I, too, will like to established a long lasting relationship! I'm not sure where this Yellow Rose is, though. Is it metaphorical? Or do I actually get a rose? This is important; I want my damn rose.
Also, this guy I used to work with wrote
this editorial [that's mainly about Spiderman toward the end, so I kind of skimmed that part -- it might contain spoilers, I don't know] that perfectly sums up how I felt about Prometheus and especially Snow White and the Huntsman. I was counting the demographics that were being pandered to when I should have been
seeing more of Chris Hemsworth shirtless immersed in the story.
And I meant to mention this a lot sooner, and I'm aware of the inherent hypocrisy, given my chosen fandoms, but: a reboot of the Spiderman reboot? Really?
Really? Can we all just look up "reboot" in the dictionary, because we keep using that word, and I don't think it means what we think it means. It's not just casting different actors in the same parts. It's like we've all decided "remake" is a dirty word, but "reboot," hey, if it's good enough for my operating system, it's good enough for my movies. Ah, well, it could be worse -- it could be a "re-imagining."
( Alright, I'll shut up already and show you my Kink Bingo card )FYI, I AM still writing Pinto fic, I've just been working (or trying to work) on outside projects that are... not going as well as the fic.
