@leumeister Oh, and I think the site sometimes deletes really long posts, and especially if someone tries to edit them.  I tried to edit a word on that post because I wanted to correct the grammar, and then it got deleted.  It’s happened a few times before to me and other people as well, and editing posts seems to be the most frequent cause.

@leumeister I think my opinion shouldn’t count for much in this case, since I’m not an animation fan anyway. 😛  I much prefer live-action.  And I’ve been thinking about exactly what kinds I like and don’t like and am having a hard time explaining even to myself so I’m not sure I could tell you specifically what it is I like or don’t like about d…[Read more]

@rochellaine Keep ranting, I like it.  Yeah, even if they played up parts like that, or added more scenes to the same plotline, it would have been a lot more realistic and interesting.  I mean, she almost died several times!

Its kind of like the new Ben-Hur movie that came out recently.  Its nothing like the book, and its so unrealistic I could scream!

@ariel-ashira I can only assume they were looking for more modern and exciting plots, but even that doesn’t make sense because they invented so many exciting stories for different episodes but there was plenty of material in the books to make for excitement.  There’s the scene where Almanzo and Cap go for the wheat, which is really cool, and…[Read more]

@rochellaine I have not seen pilot episode, or whatever you called it. 😀  How terrible!  Why oh why can’t they make it true to the books?!  Your rant was pretty awesome.

BTW, I have not seen a lot of the things you all talk about, like Les Mis.

@ariel-ashira I actually don’t mind season one or two as much.  In those seasons they don’t really follow the books except for a couple of episodes, but at least they still have reasonable time period stuff, like they don’t use modern slang and the other things are pretty good for historical accuracy.  However, as the show progresses it gets w…[Read more]

@rochellaine @seekjustice I have only seen season one of Little House on the Prairie (which they don’t actually set on the prairie) and I agree it is awful.  The other seasons sound even worse!  Mud fight?  Ugly blond hair?  Yikes!  In the books (which are awesome,and nothing like the movies) its not creepy or weird when she marries Alma…[Read more]

@rochellaine

I shamefully admit that I’ve spent the last half hour reading the summaries on Wikipedia. It’s rather….dramatic. Oh yes, of course I’ve read the books. I love (most) of the books!

I can understand that it is considerably creepy/weird for Almanzo to be that much older than Laura. Couldn’t they have just made him younger than he was…[Read more]

@seekjustice Hey, I’m back for just a short bit.  I might actually disappear after this post.  But how could I resist returning when you gave me permission to go on a semi-rant on one of my favorite ranting subjects? 😛

So, a few of the historical inaccuracies.  To start with, I’ll just say that after the first two seasons they basically made no…[Read more]

Hm, that’s weird.  My post disappeared.

@rochellaine

Haha, that’s basically the premise every sci-fi/action movie is based on, isn’t it? “And then…this innocent thing here explodes!” “Haha! Great plot twist…..why?” “Because, everything must explode. this is an action movie and we need material for the three hundred trailers we’ll put up on YouTube”.

I think I’ve seen the first…[Read more]

@seekjustice That reminds me of a line from Stargate SG-1 where they’re talking about making a sci-fi tv show, but the whole episode is a joke and parody of all sci-fi tv shows, and while they’re reading the script the stoic alien guy, Teal’c, says “I do not understand why everything in this script must inevitably explode.” 😛  (The guy writing…[Read more]

@jenwriter17

Of course, do you seriously expect me to listen to anything else?

Me?? Keep her up too late. *snorts*. I feel like her mother sometimes, always telling her to go to bed 😛

(please @rochellaine don’t take me too seriously! I would be very sad if you started going to bed earlier!)

@rochellaine

Yeah, I do like the Flash soundtrack, but just the music, not the miscellaneous grunts and explosions and everything else that goes along with a superhero show.

I would have thought Little House on the Prairie was right up your alley. 😛

@seekjustice Hm, but I thought you said that The Flash soundtrack was really good to write by? 😛 No, that makes sense.  When my little sister watches Little House on the Prairie (a show I very nearly hate, by the way) nearby the sounds are often very distracting.

@warrenluther04

*pulls down glasses* *looks down nose*

By royal decree,  you are forgiven. Just make sure you do not chase a squirrel into Story Embers, all right?

@rochellaine

Ah, you’re a multitasker like me 😀 (I already knew that though). Well, I just have Les Mis going to help drown out the sounds of superhero tv shows coming from my small brothers 😀

@seekjustice I am on at the moment.  I am dreaming of blogging, I am helping you edit, and I am wishing I had hot chocolate…and I considered listening to Les Miserables but ruled that out in favor of better focus. 😛

@rochellaine @jenwriter17 @ariel-ashira @kaya-young @alia

Anyone on at the moment? I’m blogging and editing (and drinking hot chocolate and listening to les Mis. What can I say? I multitask)
