Fact: The more I replay The Hangover in my head, the more I fall in love with the movie. I think I need to see it again and re-evaluate my original judgment of the film.

Anyway, 7 interests meme! Again! Because I am insane. And I feel sluggish from lady pains, so naturally a meme is the only course of action here. Instead of, you know, going walking/jogging or something. Because I have lady pains. IT'S A VALID REASON FOR BEING LAZY, OKAY?

Comment on this post. I will choose seven interests from your profile and you will explain what they mean and why you are interested in them. Post this along with your answers in your own journal so others can play along.

_kataomoi_ gave me:

1. ade edmondson
2. quarterlife
3. kandy
4. rik mayall
5. sam seaborn
6. the comic strip presents
7. the young ones, tony/pepper

Okay, not sure if you meant to put Tony/Pepper on that last one there, but I'll talk about them anyway and just combine The Young Ones with Rik and Ade.

( I so love talking about 80s alternative British comedy. Oh, how I would have loved being a British teenager in the 80s! )

Whew! That's all, folks.

Okay, you all know that I love my man Anthony Head with ever fiber of my being, but I am also a spoiler whore. And I was promised info on season 2 in this interview. And... this is what he gave us:

We know the history, so what's the journey of Uther until Arthur ascends the throne?

Head: There's a couple of episodes early on in the season two when I was going, "Oh, is this the line we're going down?" It's basically, "No, don't go after the servant." Stuff that we've heard from him before, but it's very brief. Then I start to get some meat. They're very open. For instance, in the first episode of season two—we're doing that now—and there's a couple of things that should be addressed. I said, "We should address them," and they've gone, "OK." They're open to stuff.

But where does Uther go? I don't know. We've talked about a couple of ideas. I've pitched something, which I think they might go with, which would be fun to play and would be interesting. He only is useful in as much as while he is around, Arthur can't be king. But, as I say, I only want to do it as long as it's challenging and interesting. So there will be some sort of crossover point where it'll be like, "OK, I've done it now. I've had enough." Where that will be, I don't know.

WHUT? I love that he is quite possibly more rambley than I am, but WHUT? He's being more vague than the mafia. COME ON, DUDE! GIVE ME SOMETHING! Just admit that the idea you pitched was that Uther snogs Morgana. We all know it's true. Anyway, I hope his idea involved Uther/Morgana in some capacity. Hopefully it was that they become each other's #1 adversaries somewhere down the line, because that would be epic. But it's probably more likely that he wants more scenes with Merlin or something, because I know ASH digs doing comedy, and the only time he gets to be funny is when he plays off of Merlin. I would also approve of that, because Uther/Merlin happens to be a favorite ship of mine. OR... maybe my and Shanti's dreams will come true and Uther and Gwen will have this tragic, messed up yet somehow healing affair with each other after Morgana leaves to join the resistance against Uther, and he starts depending on Gwen for being his voice of reason, and then Uther is on his death bed and he ends up shoving her onto Arthur because he knows she'll be a noble and wise queen and exactly what Camelot needs, and Arthur will be all like, "Bu... wha... I... Merlin." *sadface* SOUNDS GOOD TO ME!

Also, I just want to note, when he said, "Stop going after that servant" I was all like "!!! Uther told him to stop pursuing Merlin! He tries to stop their love! Oh, wait..." And then there was another bit where he said that Uzbekistan wasn't turned on by Merlin and Arthur. The man is full of phrases that unintentionally make me go, "!!! ASH ships Merlin/Arthur!" I love him. He's so dang adorable. But frustratingly non-informative. *sigh*

Now let's all marvel at the fact that ASH once made a Rik Mayall face and I had a fangasm:

Day 3:

1. LIFE! Why is the download not available yet? ARRRGH! I really need to fix my DVD recorder. This waiting for a download to rewatch stuff is killing me. BUT LIFE WAS FREAKING AWESOME! GAH, I LOVED IT!

2. ANTHONY HEAD HITTING ON ADRIAN EDMONDSON! WHY WAS I NEVER INFORMED OF THIS???

By the way, that Rocky Horror tribute show? HORRIFYING! Anthony Head is SO MUCH BETTER than all of them. But, I'm guessing he got the best character (and he used to play the character on stage), so... I guess he had an advantage. But seriously, his voice was the only one I liked. In fact, he turned me on majorly, and he was in drag. Anyway, even Ade was bad. I'm guessing he did this when he was still profiting from his stint on Fame Academy? That is the only explanation. OH ADE! &hearts But yeah, me and people attempting to do Broadway type singing just do not mix well. Unless I am being entertained by a good script. And, since this was just the music, and I've never actually seen Rocky Horror, it was just plain horrifying. Except for ASH's bits, because he's ridiculously sexy and his voice does naughty naughty things to me. Also, good god did I melt when he was being all predatory around Janet. *swoons*

3. This Merlin fanvid! It actually made me happy yesterday, but I forgot to list it. And, really, it makes me sad, but it makes me HAPPY that someone did a video focusing on Uther/Arthur! It's AU, and it's about Arthur dealing with Uther's death, and the summary is GIGANTIC, but I never read summaries that are more than one sentence no matter how hard the maker tries to force me to, and if a vid needs more than one sentence then it FAILED, but this vid? BRILLIANT! The maker should have just left it with that one sentence mini-summary. Anywho, I love that vid.

4. This Buffy/Giles picspam! Eee! All those BtVS picspams on

picspammy, I was getting sad that Buffy/Giles never gets any love, and then BAM! There it is. Someone was listening to my thoughts, apparently.

5. MY NEPHEW! &hearts

Current Mood: surprised

So, I've been watching an episode of Robin Hood every other night for the last two or three weeks, and I've just now come to the realization that the Sheriff is Keith Allen. The Keith Allen from The Bullshitters and countless other Comic Strip Presents episodes. WHY DID I NOT KNOW THIS? He looks completely different, so it didn't even register whenever I saw his name in the opening credits. Then this morning, as I was putting the DVD back in its sleeve for Netflix, I read the name "Keith Allen" and said, "Hang on, Keith Allen? I know that name! No... he can't be the same dude from the Comic Strips. Can he? That guy was such a douche. I refuse to believe that it's the same person." Then I looked it up on IMDb and... yeah, it's him. And suddenly all the sexual ambiguity of the Sheriff makes sense. And now I know why the Sheriff always reminds me of Rik Mayall. Similar style of comedy, used to be in the same shows. So... naturally I had to pull out The Bullshitters and upload the only scene that's really worth watching. The Bullshitters was making fun of a cop show called The Professionals, but it's pretty much making fun of all cop shows. And at one point they ran through the city wearing nothing but their jackets and thongs. That was pretty funny. But by this point they had found some pants (and the killers):

Now I want some Guy/Sheriff action. Because I'm insane. And I already picspammed about the utter hotness that was the scene where the Sheriff was practically violating Guy. Good times, good times.

Speaking of Guy, I saw the ep last night where Marian walks in on him with his shirt off. OMG THAT SCENE IS SO FRICKIN' HOT! GAH! I adore how flustered she was, and that smile the second she saw him. She may not want to marry him, but she totally wants to do him, always has. I love that he evokes this pure lust in her that she has absolutely no idea how to deal with. Guy represents danger and mystery and adult feelings, whereas Robin is everything innocent and she's known him her whole life, knows what to expect, so there's no mystique there, no lust, just a view of true love that she's held onto from childhood. This contrast is beautiful, and I LOVE that it gets her so confused. And... I'm fairly certain that Marian wanted to save Guy at the end, and not just Robin, because... well... he looks hot without his shirt, and it would be a shame for him to die before she gets to do him all night long. Trufax. I can't blame her, really. But I love that Guy still sees her as this bridge to purity, and he definitely has lusty feelings for her, but he wants more than that. And Marian doesn't. Marian wants to ravage him and then forget that he exists, but she can't, because she's a fair maiden. But you know she wouldn't have been able to stop herself from jumping Guy had Robin not shown up at the window. She was SO riddled with guilt becuase she knew she would have let Guy do pleasurable things to her.

And, speaking of Guy and Robin, they had another hate!sex fight, sadly, there was no tree bondage. But Guy gets so passionate whenever he sees Robin. And it's the only time when I can stand Robin, because he abuses Guy and Guy's hidden feelings of love for Robin spews out of his mouth without him even realizing it. I believe this time he said something like, "I want you, Locksley," and they were in Guy's bedroom. Now, how am I supposed to resist that? Seriously.

Also, I'm loving the Guy/Alan scenes. Particularly the one where he overzealously slaps Alan around.

Obviously this show is trying to make me ship Guy with everyone. I still love Guy/Marian the most. Although I seem to be extremely fond of Guy/Robin, because Guy always loses his head around Robin, and Robin is basically his greatest passion. Oh, show, you kill me. I'd love to get a scene of Robin walking in on a shirtless Guy. That would be wonderful.

Current Mood: embarrassed

So, a few days ago I decided to talk about the evolution of my ships, which is something I've been wanting to do for awhile but always put it off. When

15lbpurebunny told me that she's never shipped until Crews/Reese, I pretty much balked at her, because I've been shipping my whole life without even knowing it. It just makes my TV shows/movies/books more enjoyable. I get obsessively invested with the characters and where the show is taking them. Sadly, it usually ends in disappointment for me, and I kick myself for being so damn invested, but... I always enjoy the ride, even if I hate the dump that I end up at. So I bring you

firthgal's ships through the ages. Some were just me being weird, some were me just thinking that the show HAD to end that way, and some were me living vicariously through the characters.

( When it all began... )

Current Mood: sleepy

According to imdb, Damian Lewis was in Micky Love, a very obscure little thing that I probably shouldn't even know about, but considering the fact that I was madly obsessed with Rik Mayall a few years back and acquired every single thing that he had ever appeared in, I actually have this in my collection! OMG! I don't even remember anyone even remotely looking like Damian being in it, but now I'm excited, and I'm going to watch my bootleg copy (I got it back in my DVD trading days before it was officially released to DVD, and I'm too cheap to buy the real set considering it costs a butt load of money). Micky Love was actually one of the better written/performed episodes of Rik Mayall Presents... so yay! Despite it being the best in quality, it wasn't my favorite though. My fav was Dancing Queen, because that's the closest we ever got to Rik playing a leading man. OMG, I LOVE RIK MAYALL! Is Damian inadvertantly reawakening my Rik obsession? Probably not. Fandom kind of turned me sour to Rik. Anyway, I'm going to go watch young Damian on the very earliest thing that was listed on his imdb list. Squeeeeee!!! For once my dorky obsessiveness comes in handy. By the way, my netflix queue is now filled to the brim with every single thing that they had that contains Damian. *is biggest dork in the world* I'm really looking forward to The Forsyte Saga, his character sounds ridiculously messed up and villainous yet pitiful. But I'm also looking forward to Band of Brothers. Damian and uniform. Need I say more? Anyway, this time I really am off to watch Micky Love. Squeeeeeee!!!!

ETA: And now I bring caps! OMG! Thank goodness I didn't blink while he was on. And thank goodness his hair is such a noticeable shade of red, otherwise I would have missed him. Oh, he was so young and innocent!

I was memed by

disadulation, woohoo!

Reply to this post and I'll pick seven of your interests for you to explain in your journal. Post this with your explanations so others can join the explaining fun!

1. ade edmondson

Mr. Ade Edmondson is the very lovely British alternative comedian who is partly responsible for Bottom and The Young Ones and Dangerous Brothers (and yes, he was really set on fire and got his eyebrows burned off by accident) and The Comic Strip Presents... and Filthy Rich, and Catflap (where ooer! is the equivalent of That's what she said.) He is ridiculously hilarious and quite possibly funnier than Rik Mayall (his comedy partner). In fact... yeah, he is. He's much quicker with the jokes than Rik and he knows how to be a lovable asshole. And he's gorgeous. See?

Ha. No really, he is. His stint on Fame Academy captures his hilarity and hotness all in one: Sexy sexy Ade shakes his stuff. He's particularly hot around 8:10. Hee, as I much I love Ade's voice, he only lasted so long because he was freaking hilarious. Oh! Also, he's married to Jennifer Saunders, the woman who played Edie in Absolutely Fabulous.

2. bottom

Only the greatest British comedy known to man. Seriously, this show brings me hours of enjoyment, and I seem to never tire of it. It's mindless, violent, and raunchy, but I love it. These guys are like an early 90s version of Laurel and Hardy. And I am madly in love with Richie Richard. Heck, I'm in love with Eddie Elizabeth Hitler too. I cannot even begin to express how utterly obsessed with this show I was a few years ago. I knew every episode by heart. And all the live shows. It was just pure awesomeness. Richie's main drive is to "have it off" with someone, preferably a girl, but he's so desperate he'd do it with anything. And he spends most of his time masturbating. Eddie is a mooch and a mean old git who drinks all the time. Richie loves/hates Eddie, Eddie can't stand Richie, but he can't live without him either. They are just stuck with each other. I love it!

Richie and Eddie play chess (their TV has broken and they have nothing else to do. Also, Eddie sold half of the pieces for drinking money)

Bottom Live (this shows their awesome improv abilities. During the live shows they go off script like crazy. This clip is one of THE funniest things in the world. Watch it. It will feel like you've just done 50 sit ups because you were laughing so hard. Aww, I love how much Ade teases Rik. SO ADORABLE!)

Part of Bottom Hole (You've got to dream, Eddie! You've got to hold onto the dream! They are stuck on a ferris wheel, by the way)

3. johanna lindsey novels

Johanna Lindsey is a historical romance novel writer. I own all but three of her books. So that's over 40 books. I read them all in one summer. I pick one up and I just can't put it down, read it in about 2 days. My absolute favorite novel by her is Angel, which is about this sexy, dark cowboy who makes a living by killing criminals. And of course he meets a feisty young girl who brings out the soft side in him. Love it! It's part of the Wyoming series. I have to say though, her Malory series is my favorite. All of her books contain humor, jealousy, violence, drama, kidnapping (which is usually lame, but oh well), extremely hot sex, and very interesting side characters who usually end up getting a book of their own. Johanna Lindsey novels are definitely a guilty pleasure for me.

4. rik mayall

Hilarious british alternative comedian, he was the dude who played Richie in all those Bottom clips. I was madly obsessed with this guy back in 2005. I own everything that he has been in. He is gorgeous and raunchy and hilarious. He's always at his best when he is with Ade, and he loves and admires Ade an insane amount. It's quite sweet, actually. Usually he praises no one but himself, but when it comes to Ade, he can't even bring his joke persona to say anything bad about him. So adorable. Here's some stuff Rik did without Ade:

Kevin Turvey (OMG, I love Kevin! Rik describes this character as the most boring guy in the world)

The New Statesman (gah, he makes a sexy politician! Alan B'Stard is the character's name)

5. the comic strip presents

This is a brilliant collection of short films. The whole thing was started by Peter Richardson, who was involved with Rik and Ade back in the day. Rik and Ade and Jennifer Saunders and Dawn French were frequent players in the films. I guess this is kind of like the National Lampoons films, except... not really. A whole lot of parodies.

Bad News (a parody of Spinal Tap)

The Red Nose of Courage (This one is my favorite. An oddly sweet love story. Makes fun of Prime Minister John Major, who no one really knew anything about except that he was once in the circus)

6. the young ones

Another brilliant show from the minds of Ade and Rik. This is the show that basically made their careers. Anyone who has ever been to college should watch this show. Even though it's from the 80s, it still applies to this day. Just... a bunch of lazy ass kids who never go to class and argue with each other about who's better. You've got your preppy (Mike), your hippy (Neil), your punk (Vyvyan), and your Cliff Richard loving anarchist wannabe (Rick). And you've got rock bands popping in during every episode (which is why MTV aired it in America back in the 80s). This show is just pure brilliance all around. It's still mindless, violent, random, and raunchy, but it also says something about youth. These are all guys you've met at some point, and they are all total pricks, and you just love laughing at them.

7. ED HELMSSSSSS

Wow, what is this guy doing on my interests? Bwahahahahahahaha. Ed is only the HOTTEST MAN TO EVER GRACE THIS EARTH! He is adorkable in every way. Plays the banjo, sings with a bluegrass group, has constructed a Star Wars battle fleet out of office supplies, wears the loveliest argyle ever, has beautiful hair that gets some lovely height when he grows it out, looks damn sexy in glasses, and he plays the greatest character ever, Andy Bernard, on the greatest show ever, The Office. HE'S THE GREATEST! And he is damn sexy on The Daily Show too.
