[Poll #1389466]

[Poll #1296245]

Behind the cut is a poll about (Live Free or) Die Hard (4.0) canon, though fanon answers will do in a pinch. I would mine the DVD for potential answers myself, but Karen STILL HAS MY COPY OF IT. *penance stares in a north-easterly direction*

omg, this is a tiny fandom. I need more people on my flist for it, though I have certainly missed its bandwagon (bandhelicopter? bandsemi?) by several months. Oh well.

( to the polls with ye! )

Yesterday I stole Karen and made her watch the first two Die Hard films with me. I totally love #4 even more, now.

I love action films. Mainly, I love seeing them at the cinema. I had never seen a Die Hard film before I went to see #4 at the theatre about a month ago, and I'm surprised by how much I heart its cheesy goodness.

It was weird and awesome to see how WEE McClane was in the first one, and how his character has changed by the 4th. One of the things I enjoyed most about the 4th one was the MAD MACGUYVER SKILLZ OF IMPROVISATION! It's something I love in action films as much as the fact that fight scenes are choreographed these days; the creative staging of action sequences. It's one of the things I love most about the Bourne films - that uber-skilled action hero who can fashion a killing machine out of a burnt match and a bag of sugar.

Anyway, my point is, I love #4 even more now after seeing how innocent and unskilled McClane is in the first two films. He's just winging it, constantly with the monologue of "this sucks, why me!?" By the fourth he's totally beat down and jaded. He's learnt it all the hard way. Bourne was trained to be slick and badass, McClane had to learn it on the fly and at great price, and he certainly isn't slick, but I love that he doesn't complain any more, just sucks it up and deals (with a kind of bitter enjoyment).

Which brings me to:

[Poll #1053382]

As if there is any QUESTION!

ETA: *chants* JOHN! JOHN! JOHN!

I need to get hold of Die Hard 3, now.

[Poll #1026976]

[Poll #858244]

...For now ignoring that ephemeral 'third option' that I, admittedly, occupy; wherein THE DEMON DIDN'T ACTUALLY *SAY* WHAT HE WANTED, AND WE NEVER ACTUALLY *SAW* WHO HE PUT THE COLT DOWN IN FRONT OF, AND AND AND HE'S NOT DEAD! HE CAN'T BE!

Or something. For all we know the demon could have said "there's something I want a good deal more... I want... you to be my personal fluffer! right after you have this little nap. oops, they burned your body!"

etc.

Well, I've been back into reading lots of theory on pornography this week. As I'm doing this with a mind to writing on fandom, I'm constantly applying the things I'm reading to my fandom experience.

And well, in my fandom experience, it seems as if the iconography or tropes that crop up in NC-17 slash stories aren't straight across the board. Or rather, there are varieties of flavours for different fandoms, certain images crop up more often than others.

So, here's a poll. I've lj-cut it because of the not work-safe language used. That said, ( NC-17 slash afficionados, click here and take my poll! (so to speak) )

Please, PLEASE feel free to comment away! DISCUSS. Go.

PS. feel free to pimp this around if you're interested too.

Devil's Trap is airing on Australian TV right now. Which leads me to ask...

[Poll #756257]

AKA do I still need to spoiler cut/signpost spoilers?

re-watched Boondock Saints (also known as 'Boondaint Socks') with the lovely mujergorda last night. I LOVE THAT MOVIE. Especially the deleted scenes, where they wrestle naked on the floor and look appraisingly at each other's manparts.

Also those scenes where these brothers with abnormal pasts decide to rid the world of evil and go about doing so with much subtext and adept handling of weapons. And then their bearded daddy, biggest badass of them all (srsly, John Winchester vs. Il Duce - who will win?), is reunited with them and together they form one giant badass incestuous vigilante vigilante evil-fighting trio.

*happy sigh*

Actually, now that I think of it:

[Poll #752573]

eta: I vote John, because sure, Il Duce must be a nasty mofo with all his shackles and trolleys and cages just to take him out of his cell, but John? Wouldn't be in a cell in the first place, yall.

(Though of course, now I have the temptation to write a story where John *does* end up in a cell, meets The Duke and makes a contact out of him before John Winchesters his was out of prison (yes, 'Winchester' is a verb now).)

I'd be tempted to write a BS/SPN crossover, only it's already been done brilliantly, in both slash and gen forms.

Though, yaknow? Vidding seems to be my thing right now. A Winchester/McManus songvid? To what song?

And when the hell is All Saints Day going to be released??

eta - and now it's bugging me, but you can't edit polls, yaknow? So, Dean's first option below: I'm referring to early-90s Soundgarden/Hole/Pixies.

[Poll #749832]

In the interests of my in-progress Dean-has-lots-of-lesbian-sex story:


[Poll #742963]


Personally, I use 'cunt' like I use 'cock' in stories, don't find it particularly offensive, and am more comfortable using 'cunt' to 'pussy' as I'm more comfortable using 'cock' to 'dick'.

Though when I'm reading I'm not bothered by the variations (though I am amused when they're so evasive, like "his entrance" or "his rigid heat"). But I know some people find 'cunt' offensive.

Is 'cunt' used by a woman writing a female/female sex scene that other women will read still offensive?

You decide. *points to poll*

[Poll #737560]

eta: ALRIGHT, MAJORITY, YOU CONVINCED ME!

it tastes like vegemite. only... gooeyer. (er, sp?)

I think maybe I need to use that plastic kraft cheese to get the proper cultural affect.

Tis a miniature Jayne-hat keyring.

( photos with more accurate representations of size and colour behind the cut )

So, like, I was thinking I might make some more to sell to Firefly fans.

They are 100% cotton (so, vegan friendly!), hand-knitted, taking about 90 minutes each to make. But I'm not sure how much to charge. So, if you think you'd be interested, please fill out the following poll:

Feel free to pimp, but I'll say at the outset that this is a wee hobby, not a business, and I'll only do as many as I have time/patience for.

i'm about to make a faculty songvid, so, just out of curiosity:
