Aww man, Rollo Weeks was in the Little Vampire. Now I really am going to kill myself. Or maybe go back in time and stop him from starring in shitty movies that I watched because I had a crush on various leading actors (Richard E. Grant, you freaks, not that stupid little brat from Jerry Maguire). But then it would be like that episode of the Simpsons where Homer keeps going back in time and changing the course of history in unexpected and disturbing ways, and when I got back to 2006, Scipio would be played by Daniel Radcliffe and Jake Lloyd would be playing Bo, and I'd be like, "NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!" and Hayden Christensen would cry because everyone gets to say that line except him. You want some ointment for that burn, Hayden Christensen?
In other news, whenever I hear that Darren Hayes song, "Creeping Up On You", it totally reminds me of Pietro and Sp-ke from X-Men: Evolution. I'm not sure when Sp-ke made the transition from "annoying X Tard with lame powers, stupid hair and stupider name" to "stalker", but there you go. Man, I love that show. I wish the WB had released all of it on DVD - I want to see Lance randomly bitchslapping Pietro with an armchair and Pyro watching that video of Magneto bite it over and over while giggling psychotically and that old guy glomping Toad in the subway again. Sigh. I bet it'll be like Gargoyles or EI and it'll get released when I'm like, forty, and I'll be all, "I remember when this first aired" and my many cats will be like, "Whatever. Feed us tuna now plzkthx."

Poor Hayden *pets* He's got such pwetty hair. Well, he used to.

Date: 2006-03-29 09:58 pm (UTC)I know, can you imagine the horror? This is why you don't fuck with the space-time continuum; if you do, Daniel Radcliffe will rape your fandom.
Oh Hayden. At least he excells at wearing eyeliner, pouting and killing small children. That makes for a short but colourful resume.

Hm. In the book they spent the whole night locked up in that shed... Ever wondered what happened there?
Nothing against Daniel, but no thanks. Rupert, on the other hand...
And baking cookies! Never forget the cookies of the Dark Side!

Date: 2006-03-29 10:19 pm (UTC)Ah yes, the rats, the dank straw, the vague threat of being eaten by giant dogs... oh, the romance of it all. I think I was too busy wondering how come they didn't fall off the barrels when they fell asleep.
Daniel Radcliffe has a horrible octagonal head. In the new BSG, everything is octagonal - books, windows, computer screeens, dogtags - I think this proves Daniel Radcliffe is a Cylon.
Ah yes, nobody makes cookies like a Sith Lord. It's one of the final lessons they learn, right before "Strike down your master" and "Fuck yourself up in some physically disfiguring way". I bet they even have special Sith Academy aprons.

Date: 2006-03-29 10:27 pm (UTC)Uuuuuuuh... What could be a good scene for that? Prop in Scip's home?
no subject
Date: 2006-03-29 10:56 pm (UTC)Or both of them in Ida's home. Just for the comedy value of Ida's "WTF?!" face. Right when they start yelling at each other about the gun.
You're not being sarcastic, right? ;P
Well, I have to admit, I have a weakness for quick, dirty first times in unsalubrious surroundings... I had this whole thing for an Eerie Indiana fic that involved sex on a warehouse floor, but then I remembered that I can't do sex scenes or, in fact, plot, so I abandoned it.
I read the book first, and that scene after they go to Scip's house and Prosper is furious but he's also so, so hurt, and Bo is all, "It's not that bad, Prop. It's not that bad", all I could think was "Dude, he's so in love with him." And then the scene in Ida's house where Scip asks if Prop is angry, and he doesn't reply right away and Scip runs upstairs, I was all, "Aww, silly Prosper, he loves you too." And at the end, when Scip changes his last name to Fortuna, I was like, "Jeez, now even their names are slashy." And I wanted fic, but you couldn't get one for love nor money.
That fire planet was just the oven getting out of control.
Poor Anakin. He's too dumb even to regulate the temperature on an oven. I can;t help thinking that Palpatine would have been wise to choose an apprentice that was just a little brighter, even if he might not have been quite as pretty.

Date: 2006-04-03 11:25 am (UTC)*lol* Oh yes. What a passionate marital argument.
*hugs Ida*
!!! ... Not that I've watched too many episodes, but HA.
God, yes *tears up* I love how Prop feels so betrayed by it all, but still is the first to forgive Scip, because he sees his side, too. And I love that the book is so elaborate on this. And how often are there tears in Prop's eyes because of Scip exactly? ;) I'd bet all my money Cornelia Funke is a slasher *nods*
*hearts* That is so lovely. And I think it was very well played out in the movie. Poor, poor Scip. Like a kicked puppy.
There should be a fic where Prop actually goes after Scip... Or answers faster... Something.
Well, you're getting some now ;) Yup, Fortunato *lol* And isn't it interesting that in the last chapter she always talks of Scip and Prop together, but not of the rest? Like "both of them often wondered", "both of them went back"...
*sigh* There goes his career as a famous baker. Well, I guess Palpatine saw that in the end, too. After all, not much lasted of the prettiness, anyway.

Oh please, it was totally there! Poor Dash was so in love with Mars.
God, yes *tears up* I love how Prop feels so betrayed by it all, but still is the first to forgive Scip, because he sees his side, too.
And because he fancies him, of course.
And how often are there tears in Prop's eyes because of Scip exactly? ;)
Hah! Man, I want to go through and count them now. Or like, write the Scipio/Prosper 'ship manifesto or something.
I'd bet all my money Cornelia Funke is a slasher *nods*
Damn straight. Except I don't actually have any money, and I don't think Cornelia Funke would be too pleased at "winning" my massive overdraft, but still. Totally on purpose. Have you read "Inkspell"? Oh, I'm so sure Dustfinger and Farid's relationship is father-and-son-ish.
*hearts* That is so lovely. And I think it was very well played out in the movie. Poor, poor Scip. Like a kicked puppy.
I loved him taking the mask off; I don't remember that detail being in the book, but it brought the pain of that moment home, that he takes off his mask and Prop shoots him down, not just as the Thief Lord, but as Scipio.
There should be a fic where Prop actually goes after Scip... Or answers faster... Something.
Or snogs him. Hard and with youthful abandon. Fuck the wing and the roundabout and the Conte; just give me pretty boys kissing and all will be well.
Well, you're getting some now ;)
I swear, the movie is the best thing to happen to this fandom, for all my little gripes and nitpicks.
Yup, Fortunato *lol*
Oops. I was reading the Last Unicorn beforehand and got all mixed up. I suck.
And isn't it interesting that in the last chapter she always talks of Scip and Prop together, but not of the rest? Like "both of them often wondered", "both of them went back"...
"And both of them totally got it on in that old castle and it was totally hot and everyone was pleased."
*sigh* There goes his career as a famous baker. Well, I guess Palpatine saw that in the end, too. After all, not much lasted of the prettiness, anyway.
Poor Palpatine. He shoudl have seen this as a learning curve, but no, he went and got thrown down a giant hole instead.

Date: 2006-04-05 12:42 pm (UTC)Dear Christ, it'd take hours of painful thinking who'd look worse with that. Scip'd be like an Italian Macho Man, and Prosper'd look... Gay.
Uuuuh yes PLEASE!! *lol* There should be TL Drinking Game... Take one sip each time Prop looks at Scipio with a hurt expression. Or vice versa. Man, they do bring the angst.
Nah, not yet. Am getting it from friend soonish, though. Tehee. Makes me like her. Oh, haven't checked the imdb board in days... *ggg*
Wow. That is so to the point. Scipio makes himself vulnerable to Prop in that moment and gets "rejected" (at least he thinks it). Eep :(
Aren't there any slashy deleted scenes to look forward to?
Totally with you. The hot underage boylove makes it just that much better.
*LOL* Am scared of that new movie version... J. Rhys-Meyers (sp?) as the magician?! Uhm *unconvinced*
Well. That's practically canon.
In the immortal words of Hayden's shirt... Sith happens.

Shit, the entire fandom would have liver failure by the third viewing.
Oh, haven't checked the imdb board in days... *ggg*
*waves Scip's Dad/the Seahorse banner proudly* OTP4EVAOMG!
Aren't there any slashy deleted scenes to look forward to?
Not on the version I've got, but it was a straight-to-DVD American release, and those always suck. It has Prop thinking of his mum and a couple of other scenes that I don't remember because Scip wasn't in them. I imagine the European one will have a lot more in terms of extras.
*LOL* Am scared of that new movie version... J. Rhys-Meyers (sp?) as the magician?! Uhm *unconvinced*
Urgh! He is so fugly, how dare he try to be Schmendrick? Still, Angela Lansbury is always awesome and I'm really looking forward to seeing her in the flesh as Mommy Fortuna.
Well. That's practically canon.
*nods*
In the immortal words of Hayden's shirt... Sith happens.
I want that shirt.

Date: 2006-04-06 09:27 am (UTC)Oh but I LOVE Luigi!! *excited* Oh, you know what would be great?! Scip as Luigi in a remake of the movie! And Prosper would be Daisy, and Bo would be Yoshi. Ida would be Danielle, and Victor, of course, Mario. That'd be GLORIOUS. And the Hartliebs would be King Koopa and his girlfriend.
Tehee. Reminds me of the PotC DG I did with
That slutty lil seahorse. No wonder Scip wants to get away. It probably tried to come on to him, too. [Seahorse = Starbuck?!]
*hopes*
He scaaaaares me. I want to see "Vanity Fair" just to watch him get his ass kicked.
Heh, yes. Love her.

Date: 2006-04-06 01:45 pm (UTC)Oh God, that's so brain-hurtingly awful and hilarious all at the same time. You gotta write this. Green overalls and dodgy porn-star 'taches and Prop in white gloves and a pink dress and all.
Ida would be Danielle, and Victor, of course, Mario.
I remember playing it on the N64, and there's this level where you jump around on pillars and the ground is made of quicksand, and if you do it right, an owl comes and flies you to the next level, and I managed to complete it and the owl came and flew me away and he was like, "Oof, Mario, you have been eating too much pasta!" and I was like, STFU CHEEKY MOTHERFUCKER OWL! So Riccio would be that owl.
That'd be GLORIOUS. And the Hartliebs would be King Koopa and his girlfriend.
King Koopa has a girlfriend? OMG WRONGSICK!
Tehee. Reminds me of the PotC DG I did with ronsoftie once. One part was that you had to take sip of rum each time someone said "Elizabeth". We were totally wasted halway through the bloody movie.
We had one for Escaflowne too, and one of the rules was to take a sip every time Dilandau makes his trademark "Crazy!" face. And given that this character started off crazy and just got worse over 26 episodes... oh yes, we were plastered.
That slutty lil seahorse. No wonder Scip wants to get away. It probably tried to come on to him, too.
Oh man, I bet it did. And poor Scip couldn't bring himself to tell his dad, on account of it would break his dad's heart, and even though they don't get along, he couldn't do that to his father. Oh, the melodrama! *dramatic flail*
Seahorse = Starbuck?!
No, no, no, you clearly have forgotten that Dirk Benedict is all about the unicorns. The reason nobody in the book or the film rides on the unicorn is because they know Starbuck will fuck them up good if they try.
