friday funk
Nov. 7th, 2003 12:30 pmI keep thinking my work situation can't get any worse, and then, stunningly, it does! Now I just found out my new cube farm space is going to be not even a cube -- I will be sitting facing a wall with my back completely to the large open space behind me. I had little privacy before, but now will have absolutely none whatsoever. Not even a table or shelf behind me. Completely open, with people constantly walking behind me on their way coming and going. I can't even get nibbles on my resumes when the few opportunities arise to try for new jobs. I'm stuck in this hell hole.
So, of course, a meme. The Friday fannish five:
1) What is your favorite science fiction film?
I guess it's a toss-up between Blade Runner and The Terminator. I'm not sure that I could choose, but if forced, I'd probably pick Terminator because of naked Michael Biehn, and my all time favorite movie lines ever: I came across time for you, Sarah. I love you. I always have. ::gwyneth sighs and melts::
2) What is your favorite, if you have one, chick flick?
Hm. I'm never certain what constitutes a chick flick. I've seen that derisively used to describe anything with a romance or strong female lead -- even Terminator. Is it romance that auto-qualifies? I guess then I'd probably pick The American President. As much as I despise Aaron Sorkin's preciousness and I love myself logorrhea, I adore that movie for so many reasons, not the least of which is Michael Douglas's love speech at the end.
3) What is your favorite buddy film?
Eh. I love buddy shows but not so many buddy movies. I guess, just thinking of what I have in my DVD collection, it'd have to be Happy, Texas, which may or may not qualify.
4) What is your favorite B movie -- you know it isn't good, but you adore it anyway?
Among the bajillions of B movies I adore? Arg. Um, Escape From New York, I guess. Call me Snake.
5) What is your favorite lame film? For this purpose lame is defined as: a film that would have been good except for one nagging thing, i.e. it was well acted and written but it was a cliched plot or it was a good film, but it came out at the wrong time for it so it didn't work.
Oh, another Kurt Russell goodie -- Soldier. God how I love that cheesefest, I even started a lengthy piece of fanfic before I realized no one would ever read it, and then made a vid for it (that, strangely, some people like). It could have been SO good -- script by the guy who wrote Blade Runner and Unforgiven, visually talented director who sadly can't tell a story, good actors (Jason Isaacs, Connie Neilsen, Sean Pertwee), a wonderful premise, and it was completely, utterly destroyed.
For the few people who care: yes, I'm actually working on the Buffy fic I said I'd work on (you voted for it!). I have a bad feeling it's going to be very bad and painfully pretentious. Especially since I'll even be throwing in religious references and everything. Whee. This is really raw, will probably change, especially if I wake up and realize how bad it really is -- I'll spare you the Buffy stream of consciousness parts, but this is shortly after he's found Buffy's body, kind of an alternate Bargaining, if you will.
