Fandom Random!

[drakyndra]

Yes, I seem to be overusing the word "Random" in my headings as of late. But it is such a great word! Handy for all occasions, and all that.

First bit of fandom random: Apparently, GoF will be rated M in Australia, due to "fantasy violence." Holy crap! This bodes well for the dark and nasty scenes in it, I do believe. I am liking this muchly...

Though it does bring a question to mind: namely, what the hell is HBP going to be rated when that movie comes out? 'Cos, a lot of implied murders and acts of terrorism, poisoning, graphic violence (the nose-stomp, Sectumsempra, Bill Weasley's wounds), deaths, more torture, betrayal, implied child abuse, and Greyback, who's a whole ratings issue all on his own.

And in another fandom: Joss posted on Whedonesque! How freaking awesome! And post NFA Buffy-Angel comics, the Spike movie thing, hints for the future of the Serenity-verse. And the fact it is, you know, Joss, and therefore riotiously funny in it's own behalf is just great.

Having a high focus on fun indicates that you value your own enjoyment over anything else. And there is nothing wrong with that. Your motto is we're here for a good time - not a long time.

Yep. Definitely sounds like me. I mean, what is life without fun?

quotation marks You scored 53% Sociability and 70% Sophistication!

There is a lot more to you than meets the eye. You certainly get plenty of "action," but you'd be happier if those who lusted after you were more selective. You hate being used as a general intensifier; haven't these people ever heard of underlining? Italics? And yes, you remember the cruel words Mr. Joyce directed at you. But you let none of this get you down; those who abuse you are destined for a "special" reward, sooner or later. You feel particularly warm toward periods, commas, exclamation points, and question marks, and usually wish to have them next to you. Parenthesis can sometimes trouble you.

That's just brilliant. And oddly fitting, considering both my obsession with Teh Quotes, and of course the infamous Quotes Book.


BTW, what time and where do we meetup for our Mexican thing tomorrow, tinyteddyqueen?

Yup, there was much discussion a couple of months ago when it was announced that GoF would be rated PG-13 here in the States(all of the prior movies were rated PG). The general consensus was that it boded well for the accuracy of the movie (although my #1 son was seriously bummed). Despite the increasing seriousness of the movies I can't imagine that the rating would go any higher than PG-13 here since the next rating, R, means that you would have to be 16 y.o. to view it, thereby excluding the core audience.

Thanks for the awesome memes!! *is bored with largely silent flist*

Good luck in your pursuit for the perfect margarita tomorrow tonight!

Well, in Australia, the next rating up is MA15+ which means you have to be 15 to view it (pretty much the same as your R) - though younger children can see it if accompanied by an adult. *coughs in memory of pretending to be an adult so she can get her little sister to see movies, also*

And I shall take tomorrows experiences very seriously. *nods firmly*
