Mommy, what's an internet?
1) I think sometimes we all forget the internet is for porn. It's a sad state of affairs. I hope one day our youth will grow up with the truth, instead of these lies about the internets being SRS BIZNESS. On that note:
2) Where is the Spike/Giles? Flist, I friended you for a reason. Don't let me down in my new housemate's time of need.
3) Have you seen the movie, The Godfather? Did you like it? Why? I understand that this movie is cleverly shot and superbly acted, but why is it so well-loved and famous? I mean, I know why I love it, but they do not seem to be reasons of the masses, forgive my gross stereotype. And why doesn't The Godfather have fandom? Why is it all these . . . non-fannish fans who don't write fanfiction and think no one in the stories can be gay? For that matter, why am I so fannish about it? I'd think it was a fluke, but turns out I was this obsessed before (in 2005 I wrote fic for it. I never forgot it, but I was kinda surprised when I thought about it when I started getting excited about reseeing the first movie). Lastly: WHERE IS THE TOM HAGEN LOVE?
Please, even if you've only just seen the first one in passing, lemme know what you think about it.

Hm! What you say re: The Godfather makes a LOT of sense. I love the movie because I read a whole lot into Michael's story, and bring a lot to it that might be hinted at in the movie, but I'm really creating it myself, in the end. It's why I love Harry Potter so much too, but I understand why everyone else likes Harry Potter.
I guess it's all these people obsessed with the Mafia and mobs and stuff, and I just don't really get that. I don't really find them interesting unless there's a character(s) I can really get into and relate to (in my own weird way of relating. Hey, I relate to Angel, so I guess anything goes)--but the same is true with any story so Mafia or vampire or space aliens really makes no difference to me. But I guess different people are . . . different.
Thanks for the insight ;o) I don't like the second Godfather movie nearly as much. I think it's quite well done, but it doesn't give me many new ideas than the first, and doesn't stand alone for me at all, which for me is sign of nice fan matter but not a great work of fiction.
