♦ if anyone was looking for definitve proof that I am a masochist, here it is: I just watched 2012. again.

- seriously I don't know what is wrong with me. like I know this movie fills me with rage that not even all the death and destructions can pull me out of. I love disaster movies. LOVE THEM. but this one. idek. well yes I do know it is just horrible.
- John Cusack I enjoy you but I would have been okay with your death? do you know why? BECAUSE OTHER TOTALLY DECENT HUMAN BEINGS DIE FOR NO APPARENT REASON. Sasha. Tamara. GORDON. cheap fucking story telling to get the hero back together with his ex-wife.
- why doesn't someone just punch Oliver Platt in the face. repeatedly. just because he said he was in charge doesn't mean he really is! god. he's a moron and clearly totally morally bankrupt.
- listen the only reason I watch this atrocity is because I really like Chiwetel Ejiofor. and his character is charming and impossibly naive and I kind of love him. but oh god it is so not enough.
- Thandie Newton I am pretty sure you can act. I'm not sure why you haven't chosen to here!
- and then there's the plot. OH GOD THE PLOT. you know what I can't even deal with the plot. to save humanity the governments of the world build giant ships (arks if you will) and then SELL TICKETS to reserve a space for all the rich assholes. never mind the original scientists that discovered what was happening. never mind all the people that get left behind. ugh ugh this movie is so gross. but then on the one ship, they do let on some of the extra people who would have died. great. at least a few people aren't the worst people ever.
- world gets destroyed and what is left of the human race is floating around on arks. yes with animals stored in them too. BUT GUYS IT'S ALL OKAY BECAUSE AFRICA WAS UNTOUCHED. WE CAN GO SETTLE THERE! THE PREDOMINANTLY WHITE POPULATION OF THESE ARKS CAN GO SETTLE IN AFRICA. I can't even.
- and then I made the mistake of watching the alternate ending which not gonna lie I was sort of hoping for EVERYONE DIES but noooooo inexplicably a cruise ship that was near Japan and was last seen capsizing is miraculously ok. *bangs head against wall*

so clearly I hate myself.

♦ in other news I slept in really late and it felt awesome but then after I got up I started feeling really gross and now I'm just kind of huddled on the couch wishing for death. and tryiing to stream the superbowl but my connection blows. (but oh it just started up on a close up of a very serious looking Eli Manning and hellooooo. and now it's buffering again. blah.)

♦ does it make me a terrible person if I get really sad and annoyed when I see on a newsletter that a pairing that is super rare and that I really really want is being written by a writer that I don't think is very good. siiiiigh.

♦ GO GIANTS!

See, I love 2012 for the same reason I love The Core-- because it's so horrifically bad. I mean, it's got the line "The neutrinos are mutating!" which would usually be enough for me, but then it's got the scene that takes place in "Yellowstone" that was clearly filmed in Squamish (which does NOT look like Yellowstone) with a couple of smoke machines behind trees to represent the geysers. The fact that all the boats are all, "LOL. Let's invade Africa. Nobody's using it!" is just the fail icing on the fail cake. I laughed my ass off in the theater.

the ridiculous "science"? totally awesome. the destruction so massive that there's no way that plane could make it out of there? sweeeeeet. but after everything I just can't take it when they're all 'LOL AFRICA CAN BE OUR HOME'

I really should have just watched The Day After Tomorrow

Well, I will admit I was bolstered by my friend and I "writing" the sequel on our way out of the theater, where Africa says "We're full, thanks, but we heard Antarctica is nice this time of year," and deports them.

The stupid deaths. omg. THE STUPID DEATHS.

and the whole Africa ending. ugh. DON'T THINK I DIDN'T NOTICE THE LACK OF BLACK PEOPLE REPRESENTING ON THE ARKS, 2012. and now you think you're going to set up shop there? If I were Africa, I'd be all, 'yeah, fuck you and the boats you came in on.'

also, your third point is how I feel about Rangers fic right now. :(

SUCH STUPID DEATHS. I don't understand why! there was no narrative reason for any of the three characters that I named to die. NONE. argh.

plus I took what they said at the end to mean that Africa was virtually untouched by the disasters. meaning there are MILLIONS of people still there. so yeah basically I hope they tell the people on the arks to go fuck themselves.

booooo. I was talking about Criminal Minds fic, but I hate when it happens in any fandom. WHY DO ALL THE SUCKY WRITERS WANT TO WRITE THE PAIRINGS I LIKE.
