I saw the Avengers this past weekend! ( spoilers, feels, a fic wot I wrote )

To sum up: feel free to skip my capslock and just read this hilarious, spoilerrific recap. :p

The Arms Deal Job
Benji's running his first op, so of course things get complicated.
The Leverage/MI4 crossover that I wrote because nobody else had yet and the world so obviously needed it. :p

We went to see Mission Impossible 4 at the dollar theater last night! Which resulted in this list of things that I want:

Brandt and Benji Have Spy Adventures: The Movie

IMF to actually mean "International Monetary Fund"

more Brandt&Benji fic, because let's be serious, fandom, nobody likes Tom Cruise

a MI4/Leverage crossover, because I think that Hardison would also be super-excited about wearing masks

an understanding of how Avengers/MI4 crossovers with Brandt and Clint Barton work without having to read them

Jeremy Renner's ass*


*this item has hand-motions, no matter how hard I try to stop them

In what can only be described as an incredibly tone-deaf move on Sony/NBC's part, the Inspector Spacetime webseries is now the Totally Not Inspector Spacetime webseries. The reaction I been hearing out of Gally and the rest of the internet was basically that lots of people hadn't even heard of Community, but Inspector Spacetime was making them want to go check it out. So I suppose that they are within their rights to lawyer-style tell the guy behind the project that he's not allowed to make an Inspector Spacetime webseries, but I don't see how it would have done anything but help them.

And while I do agree with erinpuff that even before this the webseries was probably going to be a disappointment after all the fan-created "canon," I was still interested in seeing how it panned out. I'm still pledged in on Kickstarter, but I'm kinda less interested in just another Doctor Who parody. :(

We finally watched Captain America yesterday! Pre-Avengers, I am trying to go back and catch all the other Avengers movies I'd missed, and I was not the only one who hadn't seen Cap so we turned it into a viewing party! of sorts. Mostly we just all watched it together. But still! It was better than I expected but still not particularly good.

It's strange...of all the strange, physics-defying things in the movie--he can't jump that high! why does it have helicopter rotors?! but he just broke them out of prison randomly!--the thing that drew me out the most was the presence of Neal McDonough. "Waaaait," I said to myself, "You were in an actual thing about WWII. BUCK COMPTON, how does this not bother you?!" So I watched the movie with the name Buck Compton echoing in my head, only to get on twitter last night and see that Actual Buck Compton passed away yesterday. I know that this is not at all causal, but I somehow can't help feeling particularly weird about it. :/

Many Different Kinds of Ships
There are a number of things that make a lot more sense to Rory now.
A (long time coming) tag I wrote to Doctor Who 6x04, because hello pretty. :D

I am so behind the times, guys: I just got an AO3 account! I'd been reading stuff there for a while, but didn't actually have an account. And now I want to start moving my fic there from my fic journal on LJ (because LJ), but I am irrationally nervous about posting my fic somewhere else; a lot of it is old and will require editing (and maybe real titles), and also I am RIDICULOUSLY BAD at writing fic summaries. D:

...I'm also kind of hoping that this will motivate me into writing more and perhaps finishing some of the WIP I incessantly write; there is a 15000+ word unfinished Rogue Squadron fic on my hard drive that I consider some of my favorite stuff I've ever written (and my personal headcanon, for sure, about Janson & Hobbie's Escapades during the first 4 books of the X-Wing Series), and I really wish it was at a point where I could share it with someone else. SOMEDAY! MAYBE SOON!

So, today is Lisa's Third Annual "Star Wars Instead of The Super Bowl Marathon"! Well, it's a belated marathon this year, because I am tired of having them by myself and nobody who I invited was free last weekend, but there will be buffalo chicken dip and Wookiee Cookies (straight out of my Star Wars cookbook) and STAR WARS! Here's hoping I remember how to be socially acceptable about this fandom. XD

Dear Sherlock Fandom, can we have a word? You've done some awesome things--fic, fanart, videos, well-thought-out theories, and a huge amount of communal coping. I appreciate it all, and I love you for it. But the flip-side of this appears to your complete and utter lack of common sense when it comes to what is and is not appropriate to do with the internet. Things it is Not Appropriate To Do include but are not limited to (in varying degrees):

be racist and hateful about a character that's just doing her job and reacting realistically to the people around her

tweet selfish, stupid things at the show's creators, particularly if you sign your sentiments as From The Fandom

inundate the actors with weird, unwanted attention--that picture of Martin Freeman with all the postcards is just making me cringe; look at his face! he is not happy!

and for that matter, believing that you are internetfriends with Martin Freeman's wife because she is making the best of a weird situation o_O

come to a tangential fandom that is fantastic in its own right and pointedly still enjoy it ONLY for the shallow reasons that brought you there in the first place. I am looking at you, youtube comments on the Cabin Pressure episodes!

I just. Augh. Maybe I just haven't participated in real fandom enough recently, but this all makes me just want to crawl in a hole somewhere and pretend that I am not in any way associated with these people. Come on, internet! >_>
