So, everyone who knows me, or at least, I'm pretty sure the first thing they cotton onto when they talk to me for more than ten minutes is that I am a very, very, very, very, very, very, very big Douglas Adams fan.

I can talk about the man's genius and wit for hours, but it's a good thing you all don't love me that much yet.

cut for your list if i'm on it )

OH MY GOD THIS DOESN'T LOOK ANYTHING LIKE IT SHOULD BE AND DIRK ABSOLUTELY IS NOT THE RIGHT PERSONALITY TYPE AND RICHARD ISN'T EVEN SCOTTISH.

AND YET IT APPEARS TO HAVE A REALLY COOL SOUNDTRACK

AND STEPHEN MANGAN I FUCKING LOVE THAT GUY I LOVE GREEN WING AND HE LOOKS ADORABLE AND WHEN I INEVITABLY WATCH THIS AND MAYBE MAKE A JOURNAL FROM IT I WILL HATE MYSELF FOREVER.

MY LIFE IS TORMENT.

It's a bit late for it now, but I thought I would drop in my complete two cents on the Airbender movie, which was... bad. Really bad. Really, really, reallllyyyyyy baaaaadddddddddd. Race fail aside, this film was horrendously awful, like, I don't even know how to explain to you how bad this film was, other than to let out a scream of agonised pain that would make unicorns from two star systems away begin to weep.

This film was that bad. I can't even say it's the worst film I've ever watched, because there were parts I did like, but I can safely say this is the worst adaptation of anything ever, barring maybe a few Uwe Boll movies.

THIS MOVIE WAS TERRIBLE. I concluded that I actually hated this movie more than Twilight because, hey, at least I knew that Twilight was always going to be terrible. There was nothing good to take out of Twilight. Whatever poor sod that adapted it for the screen or radio (that would be interesting. Would Edward make shimmering noises?) would make a terrible movie. Even if it had Stanley shitting Kubrick attached to it as director and John Williams as the composer, Twilight was always going to be bad. At least not without a massive rewrite where Edward rips Bella's throat out and devours her at the end. Which Kubrick might've been open to.

Still, my point is, the book wasn't good, so it wasn't as if any of us were expecting the movie to be any better.

It is actually depressing me that this is going to be what this first journal post is going to be about, but after several false starts, some of which were Twilight discussions I couldn't get through without minor breakdowns, then finally a conclusion that I was just going to have this bloody personal journal with which I will do nothing, but finally, finally, at 2:22 AM, for the sheer fact that I have no one else to talk to, and I must get this off my chest before I kill someone, I am going to start this journal off...

With this.

There might as well be a few explanations before I get into why that article is pissing me off, and why I need to be writing it at 2:24 in the morning when I was planning on watching Top Gear, on a Sunday, before heading to bed.

Sometimes, when we lose ourselves in fear and despair, in routine and constancy, in hopelessness and tragedy, we can thank God for Bavarian sugar cookies. )
