Fan-fiction scares me, because it's a little too meta. Eventually the fictional characters will become sentient and steal my body. That could happen, probably.
Remember last week, when I talked about fandom? Remember how I said that from now on, I was going to bring in all sorts of wacky things from a given character's fandom pairings? IT IS SO ON, YOU GUYS. :D
To mark the occasion, I wanted to pick a special character for today, my first real, deliberate attempt to show you how wacky and insane and butt-paralyzingly terrible fandom can be most of the time. So I finally settled on my first male character - Sheldon from the Big Bang Theory...

News for Now
Inception blows every other movie out of the water (kind of) and girls take shit better than boys.
Guys. GUYS. Maybe you don't recall, but for quite some time, I was freaking out about seeing Inception. I mentioned my Inception Countdown at least once a day to people. C'mon--Joseph Gordon-Levitt + Cillian Murphy + the impeccable Christopher Nolan? THIS BITCH IS IN. And guess what? I saw it! And it was...nice. JGL (we're so close, I can use his initials) was the best part of the movie, besides the soundtrack. But can someone take Leonardo DiCaprio aside and whisper to him "DUDE. This is Shutter Island, part deux. Consider not playing the same character essentially back-to-back next time, yeah?" But I'm still glad to see it kicking ass at the box office, raking in $42.7 million this past weekend.
File Kings of Leon under "pansies." So, that crew just had a show in St. Louis on Friday night, but they only played three songs. Why? Because a pigeon pooped in Jared Followill's mouth, and they deemed it too unsanitary to continue. Apparently, loads of pigeons live in the rafters of the Verizon Wireless Ampitheater, and they wanted to "use somebody" as a toilet.
Finally, that track came in handy.
But doesn't anyone remember when Cyndi Lauper got a mean case of "bird poop in mouth" back in May 2004? Yeah! Girlfriend wiped her mouth with her sleeve and played on. Take some notes, boys. You could learn many things from Ms. Lauper.

Mystery Science Theater 3000: The only humans and robots I would ever welcome to talk during the movie.
90's T.V. kind of rocked. There was a huge selection for kids to sink their teeth into; I still want my old Nickelodeon back. Give me “Rocko's Modern Life” over any of the crap kids are watching on T.V. these days. Regardless of the variety, every individual raised in the 90s typically can name one show they were completely addicted to growing up. Some of my friends say “Boy Meets World” (don't get me started), “Home Improvement” (eh.....

Guillermo del Toro is incredibly talented, but "The Haunted Mansion"? Really? Someone better have their insides eaten by a monster within 2 minutes of the start of that movie.
Guillermo del Toro Gets In On The Disney Action
Fantasy director Guillermo del Toro announced at Comic Con last week that he will be writing and directing a feature for Disney based on the ride the Haunted Mansion. Now, I don’t really remember what the hell the Haunted Mansion is. I’m assuming from the name it’s a haunted mansion with ghosts and stuff...

So, the ending to "Inception" was a little mind-bending, eh? You bet your GD boots it was.
You’ve seen Inception, right? Almost everyone has...
