trinityvixenEverything's coming up Milhouse! Don't anybody forget that we're going to Dallas BBQ on 72nd and 3rd at 7:30 pm tonight, followed by karaoke. I picked up some Bacardi Limon and that excellent plum wine originally discovered by ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
darkling1 (it's official, our local liquor store is the bestest ever--they tried to give Lisa cheaper tequila when she bought me some nice tequila because they said it didn't matter for margaritas--they didn't try to cheat her!). I also, funnily enough, have some Grey Goose left over from our housewarming party, some Schmirnoff orange vodka, too. Any more than that, you're on your own people, but I think enough Coke will take care of the Bacardi and the wine is good. BYOB except for that. See you tonight!
The ones people didn't guess are in bold; explanations for all are in italics.
1. The Incredibles: Mr. Incredible (and partial credit for Edna Mode) why him: Mr. Incredible was the star, and he was a good person and a conflicted one. He seemed like an absentee father at first, but when it came down to it, his family *was* the most important thing to him in the whole world. When he threw the penis/mid-life-crisis car at Syndrome, that nailed it: he was a GOOD GUY, a good *mature* guy. And, I guess, he reminded me of my Dad in a lot of ways; my Dad and I aren't mushy-gush close, but I know he loves me and wants the best for me, and I liked that cinema hasn't forgotten that people like him exist; Mr. Incredible, unfortunately, isn't an archetype, but he should be. As for the close second, well, who *doesn't* like Edna? "No capes!" "Go, confront the problem! Fight! Win! And then come back and see me, I enjoy our visits." Oh, Edna.
2. The Matrix: Trinity why her: Besides being lesbian crush #2 in black vinyl, why the hell not? We will pretend her character wasn't assassinated by the sequels (what sequels?) because I'm only talking about the first movie here. From her first scene, she was the kick-assingest heroine--some guy at the theater in the city that I'd snuck out of Scarsdale to see (it wasn't playing any more at home at the time) saw that scene and summed it up in a (loud) word: "Daaaaaamn!" After that, there wasn't much hope for poor Keanu.
3. Blade: Trinity: Hannibal King why him: Because he's funny and had the body of a Greek statue. Seriously, this guy looked like he was cut from fucking marble, and I stand by my earlier nickname: "Ryan 'I-want-to-suck-on-any-part-of-his-body-that-he'll-let-me' Reynolds." The character though, wow, did I need him. I'm not a fan of the first Blade (other than likewise ogling pretty-boy Stephen Dorff); the second one was amusing between Ron Perlman playing himself as a vampire and the guy who played Scud. I've never like the movies for Wesley Snipes, probably because I've seen how he looked in "To Wong Foo" and wanted to die shortly after, and also because I happened across a celebrity homes show on E! one time and he answered the door in his Blade costume (I think he also went on talk shows like that). The meta-making-fun-of-the-method actor that was brought into 'Trinity' by Hannibal King, taking down Mr. I'm-a-Badass-Hybrid, was soooo necessary for the series before it went out. And did I mention Ryan Reynolds isn't bad looking either?
4. Cowboy Bebop: Spike Spiegel why him: Because it's Spike. Spike, Spike, Spike. His melodramatic backstory with Julia annoyed the piss out of me, but the combination of ass-kicker with nonchalance (another reason I liked #3 on this list), even comic indifference, won me over. Spike is fundamentally a good person, but he can be selfish and lazy and ridiculous at the same time. No one in anime ever made me love them as much for their flaws as he did. He's goofy looking, gangly and bizarrely haired, but he works. I don't need to explain him as much as the others; most of you know why Spike kicks a lot of ass
5. Family Guy: Brian why him: "Hey c'mon, toots, relax! It's a party! ::chases tail until he falls off stool drunk::" Brian wins over Stewie for being the truly smartest Griffin and an alcoholic to boot. He just does.
6. Invader Zim: GIR why him: If you have to ask, clearly you've been fortunate not to be around me recently. I quote him constantly, I got bacon-soap because of him, and he was the first thing I saw from Zim (in the form of someone's Doggie-Suit GIR at the CUSFS study break) and I loveded him. If you have to be an incompetant alien trying to take over the planet, you should have a robot like GIR.
7. Dawn of the Dead: Michael why him: He was proof of what innate talents one can find in man that will aid his survival. I liked that, though he was nothing in 'real life,' his ideas kept others alive when things looked bleak. He knew not to let bitten people stay in the mall, and he was just generally a decent person who thrived under pressure. I admire that.
8. Jack & Bobby: Jack why him: I would have thought that with a name like "Jack&Bobby," this would have been an easy one. Jack I like for reasons I don't usually like others. I like characters who don't march to the beat of the same drummer, but Jack's one who constantly worries about fitting in and being popular. Perhaps I like that he's been cut down in that regard and that he found a friend who is not only decidedly not popular, but she's an individual on the highest order. Again, it doesn't hurt that he's good looking and tragic.
9. Discworld: tie: Captain Carrot and Lord Vetinari why them: Carrot I love for the 'is-he-serious-or-is-he-faking?' quality of his innocence. He's confusing and confounding with the way he's completely earnest and yet manipulative all at the same time *and without knowing it!* Lord Vetinari needs no explanation. He's the man, he's got the vote, after all. He's utterly so out of his mind, he's the sanest man in Ankh-Morpork.
10. Dynasty Warriors: Lu Xun why him: He he he, Lu Xun. Another hottie who also happens to be the fastest little mo-fo in the friggin game! I've run down horses with him! Fast horses! I like his twin weapons better than a lot of single ones and definitely better than most of the double-weapon users'. His instant death element doesn't hurt, and he's a strategist. So, not only does he kick too much ass to take names, but he's smart. I love a smart man...in booties...
11. Farscape: John Crichton why him: "WHERE'S MY DAMNED ICE CREAM!?" ::rolls:: As an intrepid space hero and representitive of Earth in the far reaches of space, we could never have done better.
12. Resident Evil (the movies): Jill Valentine why her: Okay, come on people, no one knew that? I came out of "Apocalypse" with a new lesbian crush and I think I debated the merits of Jill versus Alice with Rob (who maintains that he could never do better than Milla, or God couldn't or something) until I tripped and fell from skipping happily. First of all, when it comes to lesbian crushes, it's important that the crushee have tits. Milla has no boobs or fat on her anywhere--I remember being severely disturbed at the end of the first movie because she had little nubbly nipples like a ten-year-old-boy. I did not need to see that. Whereas Jill was, if still Hollywood skinny, rounder, dressed better, and had better hair. She was also mean as fuck with less 'superpower' to back it up--she survived on attitude, bay-bee. When she came into the police station and just shot people in the head without asking questions, I knew I loved her. She gets bonus points for scoping out the basement in the school by holding her flashlight hand under her gun hand crossed at the wrists and out in front of her, sweeping (it doesn't take much to please me, I know).
13. Harry Potter: Ronald Weasley why him: Oh please, why the frig not? Better than Harry, better friend, better person, better better better. Plus, the kid who plays him makes that face...I can't do it, but you know what I mean. And his hair looks like a Beatles-esque 70s thing in the 3rd and 4th movies. Poor, poor Ronald. He's gonna get Hermione and Harry's gonna be alone or dead by the end of the books and I won't care because he stole poor Ron's thunder in book five and I'll never forgive him ever. Stupid whiney Harry. Yay for Ronald! Up with Weasleys! Weasley is our king!
14. Star Wars: Han Solo why him: Because it's been subliminally written onto my brain that Harrison Ford is the bestest action hero ever. He has a great smirk, he's Han and Indy, so there. Nyah.
15. The Slayers: Zelgadis Greywords why him: He's voiced by that guy I always like (who does Tamahome and Heero, too), and he's a cold-hearted magic-using swordsman. You need more than that? "Don't worry, I used the flat side of the blade. Oh, wait, this is a double-edged sword." Heh heh heh.
And, the anti-meme. Since some fandoms were too easy or I couldn't figure out who I hated in the ones listed, there are some changes here. Apparently, I make my opinions known to everyone, so this should be easy.
In no particular order, who do I hate from the following:
1. Cowboy Bebop
2. Fushigi Yuugi
3. Jack & Bobby
4. Buffy: Tara is/was the most annoying addition to the cast other than Dawn.ivy03 gets muchos points for getting both of the most irritating Buffy characters out. Gah, I know you changed your mind, but trust me, I was sooooo tired of Tara before she even got started. I was like "Lesbian lover for Willow" before she even exchanged words with Willow. Amber Benson isn't a bad actress, but her mannerisms irked the crap out of me, like Lana on Smallville only not as bad. (guessed by ivy03)
5. Resident Evil (the games, not the movie)
6. Dynasty Warriors
7. The Matrix (I'll be surprised if anyone guesses this, really)
8. Farscape
9. Final Fantasy 10
10. Dead Like Me: Good guess. She's breezy and annoying and she would have been fun, but they tried at parts to make her deep. There's nothing wrong with her being shallow and all that, but they tried to 'rescue her' and it just didn't work. She also replaced a character that was a lot more upbeat and nice, which didn't help at all.
