More fannishness

I'm hoping I can be a bit more fannish this year.  I'm going to try and whine less and be more enthusiastic about different things.  Movies, books, fanfics, writings... that sort of thing. 

I decided to give the new Total Recall a try, since I liked the first one and thought, why not?  I'm only about 10 minutes in, but I have to say I'm really not too impressed.

It seems a lot of the movies they're remaking these days were so popular because they had interesting plotlines, a good bit of action, and were fun.  I'm not saying the original Total Recall was a work of art, but it seemed to have a more diverse cast and focused more on the plot rather than the current actress' butt and boobs. 

I'm hoping it will improve, but I'm not too sure.  I kind of wish a lot of the movies being made were more original, and not regurgitated knock-offs that don't seem to bring much to the movie except the same name.  It seems the animated movies are where the true creativity is.  Wreck It Ralph was a great movie, as was The Rise of the Guardians.  I really liked the Hobbit, have seen it three times already, and I loved it.  Those are the kinds of movies I wish there were more of. 

Anyone else kind of tired of seeing movies remade?  What kind of movie would you want to see? 

Oops?

You know what happens when you start your shimejis and then get distracted by making dinner? 

This is what happens: 


( Make them stop! )

Umm..... Oops?  It was like playing whack a mole to get them to get them to go away!
