Never seen the Seeker film (nor read the books), but the Agony Booth review is worth it:

So yeah, I hope Watchmen is better. Shouldn't be too hard. But I, too, tend to nitpick a little (or a lot), and my first reaction to the film adaptation of a good book is always one of worry. True fans of Watchmen seem to have generally liked the film, though, so my hopes are up.

How can she claim to be a "fan" anymore? Grr...

You'll need it, both for attempts at sleep and whacking those who try to interrupt.

:)

should we wait for maudlin to respond then?

Dude, chill.

I was just suggesting you two be a bit considerate of the fact it was someone else's idea, that's all. I wasn't getting on anyone's case for it.

It's good to see another TV Troper. I haven't been on TV Tropes for - well, I have a window open now, but I haven't looked at it for almost three minutes.

What fandoms are you into?

Annoyingly I don't think I'll be able to make it. Pity because I've been unable to ever get to a Gathering.

Anyone keen to have one in Scotland...?

With the soundtrack thing! I ADORED it! Bob Dylan yayness! Ok not the best rendition of "Halleluja" I've ever heard but still.
The ending I agree was a bit of a let down, but I sat through most of it basically going "ooooh Shiny!"

Definatly to be recommended.

On a side note has anyone else see the trailer or "Lesbian Vampire Killers"? Now THAT looks like a movie made entirely for laughs.

Have some little green pills. When you find out what they do I'm sure the Medical Research Division would also like to know!

What you got?

However, that one died, only a few spammers use it now. Maybe we could put it to a vote and make a new one, but this one's kinda traditional.

Will your Agents be based in a TARDIS or Response Center?

Can I adopt Lycaeonion? *points down*

That has been answered over and over again with very good answers~

Glad to meet another TVTroper. If we gather enough of us, maybe we can found TVTropers Anonymous. "Hi, my name is Gabriel, and I haven't visited TV Tropes for... oh, about half an hour."

I'm pretty new myself, and I'm not a full-fledged Agent yet.

Here, I give you a screwdriver, 100% mithril. If you prove you can kill a Sue in eleven different ways with it, you'll be deemed worthy of the Department of Assassins. (Our best Agents know of over 30 ways to use it to lethal effect.)

I'll remember to keep it handy.

My favorite weapon, though, has got to be the makila. It beats, it twats, it stabs, and it's totally street-legal 'cause it counts as a walking stick!

That line pretty much sums up every Suethor, doesn't it? There's a difference between unrealistic but a good read and unrealistic and stupid, and our dear Suethor seems to have crossed it.

Here's a vibrospork. Good for badfic and those annoying lightsabers Sues keep on swinging around.

but I doubt anyone else does. Unfortunate.

... but considering they weren't bothered by having an Evil!Stu raped to death by a gigantic blue rat (don't ask) I'm not quite sure what would make them realise they're going too far without making them into official villains.

I like most things. Cartoons are a favorite, along with some animes that I hold in dear nostalgia. Digimon, Pokemon, and Avatar are probably the three that I know the most about, with limited knowledge in other realms. I could write a damn book on the first three (well, first and third) seasons of Digimon.

I also like a considerable number of video games, though I'm not experienced very well in any of their canons (somewhat in the Haloverse).

As for other stuff, I have most of the Redwall books practically memorized (don't ask me to quote page numbers, though, I can't memorize like that), along with some bits of the Star Wars EU (most specifically the X-Wing series). While I know some tenets about the Lord of the Rings, my knowledge is not nearly as extensive as some people I've seen. I'm also a big fan of the Young Wizards series, which gets FAR too little airtime and recognition. I am also a considerably intense World War Two buff.

But my real crown jewel is my knowledge of the NUMA canon. Dirk Pitt, Kurt Austin, the crew of the Oregon- I own every book Clive Cussler has ever written (and only two have gone missing), and I've got parts of some of them memorized. I've met few others who know of this guy- an outright Fanfiction.net search turns up five works total- but I really wish there were more. He's awesome.

It would be much more practical: we could send PMs, we could use BBCode, AND we could edit or delete our posts. Not to mention half a hundred other things.

(Sorry for straying off-topic. Had to say it.)
