Summaries that are crap.

[ladydrace]

Hey, I'm so sorry for this, but I'm in a crap mood. (loooooong story)

So I just want to express my annoyance with summaries that are just a random line grabbed from the fic. Isn't a 'summary' supposed to 'summarize' the fic? It doesn't tell me dick about the fic if the summary is something along the line of: "Merlin was tired, when he entered Arthur's rooms." No it doesn't.  Pisses me off.

Sorry if anyone on my f-list does this. I don't hate you. I'm just pissed.

That is all.

Don't EVEN get my started on how crap Hayden Christensen was in that role!
I write Star Wars fan fic (mostly Old Trilogy, Darth Vader stuff) and one of the hardest things to deal with is the slaying of the younglings. I just don't buy it. I mean, there's evil...and then there's killing kids evil. I just...it doesn't compute for me. There isn't some switch you flip and all the sudden you are a psycho kid-killer. I think that Lucas f-ed up bigtime in the prequels. Which is a shame because he had so much time and such a rich tradition to draw from. It was such a huge let down.

LOL @ Powerpuff/CSI cross! HAHAHA!!! Seriously though, its really about skill and know what can and cannot be done. In crack/comedy you can do some off the wall stuff. Have you seen that book "Sense and Sensibility and Sea Monsters"? That's crack fic!

No I haven't! LOL! Sounds hilarious! Especially since I'm a huge Jane Austen fan. :o)

I'm not at all happy with Hayden Christensen either, but if only Lucas didn't fuck up the movies so much in the first place, I think he could have been ok. I still don't think he should have been in the suit, though.

Yeah, kind of a slap to the guy who played him in the OT. Also, I don't like that the changed the ending of Jedi (where Luke sees Anakin's spirit) to include Hayden's image instead of the original actor. Was pretty unfair.

I activley loathe that ending. It makes no fucking sense what so ever. All the other jedis are the age they were at their death, but Anakin isn't? I know some people argue that it was because "he died when he turned to the dark side". But if that's true, then Lucas flushed his own plotline down the drain. Because then Luke didn't save Anakin at all, and he shouldn't have been able to do the spirit thing, either.

I HATE THAT!!

And... I miss the original Ewok end party too. :o(
