If anyone else here is into MST3K, I just spent a lovely aimless time making twenty-two MST3K icons for the myfandom_icons community. Anybody who's interested can check them out here...
By the by, I just read "No Happy Memories" (...ow, but in a good way), and I was wondering - what do you think of Harry's potential Animagus form as being? I don't mean in the fic, specifically, since you ended it where it ended for a reason. But the story did raise the issue, and I'm just curious :).
And the truth is, there is no answer for that particular story as to what he changed into. It's left for the reader to answer. However, isiscolo did ask me the same question in the ask-your-characters meme, and I admitted to her that there's a song called "Wolf and Hawk" that gets into my head when I think of that... I do envision Harry as something flighted, when I think about what he'd like, though I don't know the rules of animagery...whether you get what you'd like or something random or what...
Whee! Is not "Space Mutiny" one of the most delightful ever? (I couldn't find a screen-cap for the end shot or I was going to do, "My fandom's eyes are going to open aaaaany minute now..." If I find one I will!
Nice icons! I'll have to learn how to make the animated ones some time.
My favorite MST3K has Hercules showing up on some Greek isle in the middle of wild festivities. He asks a young woman in a toga what's going on and she tells him "It's a festival in honor of Uranus!"
And the MST3K dudes reply for Hercules: "Why thank you. I'm very flattered."
hee hee hee...festival in honor of Uranus ::grins::
Mystery Science Theater 3000 was the funniest show on television EVER. Ran for 10 years, ended just a couple of years ago, had a silly premise of a guy trapped on a spaceship by a mad scientist and his henchman and forced to watch really bad movies so that the mad scientist could observe his brain slowly turning to pudding (in the name of science, of course!). But the guy formed himself a few wise-cracking robots out of spare parts and they watch the movies with him and they all make fun of the films as they play: low-budget monster movies, badly-dubbed Godzilla rip-offs, biker flicks, odd fantasy imports, cheesy sci-fi crap. The jokes at the film's expense just keep on coming and coming. And they never tried to dumb anything down for an audience, they just said, "The audience we want will show up for this kind of thing." I could have just given you a link to some info sites but it's much more fun to talk about it! You can find a very large resource site here, though, if you like: http://mst3k.booyaka.com/index.shtml?refresh

I copped the "Computers in the walls" one and the "French Silk Pie" one.

By the way, did you get my email? Or it is me who didn't get yours?
