We don't talk business at the table.

[whynot]

Every time I rewatch The Godfather, I LOVE IT EVEN MORE. Augh, I can totaly trace my love of motherfucking Pendragons and motherfucking firebenders to my hearteyesing at the Corleones. The TIES THAT BIND, the sacred bonds of familyyyy, an honor full of hubris (or a hubris full of honor??), and don't turn your back on the family EVER AGAIN omg. Their power is ubiquitous, as generous as it is terrible. Their loyalty is dangerous, and their balance of power complex. NOW IF WE'RE DONE PLANNING MURDERS AND BRIBING FEDERAL JUDGES, I WOULD LIKE TO ATTEND MY DAUGHTER'S WEDDING. MOTHERFUCKING CORLEONES <3333

I have Top Fives.

From fahye: top 5 fictional battles, which was difficult because I'm not a battle scene kind of person, but voila anyway!

1. Hot Fuzz, at the end, because it is HILARIOUS.

2. Prince Caspian, at the end, with awesome surprise!crater.

3. Planet Terror, at the end, because it is also hilarious. Also: ZOMBIES.

4. Uh, then I start to blank out. Did Hero have a battle scene? Kill Bill Vol. 1 at the end was pretty cool. I also like the Gangs of New York one, although this may be because I recently rewatched it.

5. The Warlords



From mrinalinee: top 5 crossovers that I want written, which was difficult because I want crossovers of everything ever. I'm going to treat Merlarnia as a given.

1. Merlin/Avatar. Arthur and Zuko hanging out being noble warrior-princes trying to grow into their kingship, dealing with tyrant fathers and scene-stealing sisters. They learn things about themselves and each other, and have many Moments.

3. Disney/Warnes Bros. Donald and Daffy hanging out, hating on people with big ears, griping about anti-feather prejudice.

2. "Real World: Cryptic Mentor Figures." Yoda, Dumbledore, the dragon, Aslan, Professor X, and the Oracle (and whoever else), all in one house, bickering over whose turn it is to do dishes and who keeps hogging the phone.

4. Johnny Maxwell/Narnia, because Johnny and his gang would be hilariously genre-savvy about it.

5. Captain Planet/RPF. The Planeteers work together with world leaders to better the planet, but navigating the world of international politics is harder than they thought. The multilaterals bully them, human rights groups hassle their environmental conservation plans for not considering the livelihood of peasants, and Greenpeace is just wack, man, totally wack. Ma-Ti wonders if he should use his Heart power to influence politicians.

Bonus 6. X-Men/Captain Planet. Wheeler and John, feisty fireboys together living it up in New York.



top 5 X-Files crossovers, which is QUITE TIMELY as I have been binging myself on X-Files episodes for the past couple of weeks

1. Narnia. Scully tries to come up with a scientific explanation for a forest in a wardrobe, and before she can stop him, Mulder dons a fur coat disappears into the woods. So, she goes too. (MAYBE SAMANTHA IS IN HERE.) Another possibility is Mulder and Scully investigating Susan Pevensie for some reason, maybe something to do with magic boat pictures and wardrobes. Mulder and Susan can have sibling angst together.

2. Merlin. This can be tackled a number of ways. One possibility is reincarnation fic wherein Mulder and Scully investigates a telekinetic/pyrokinetic who claims he is trying to find the once and future king.

3. bedlamsbard created a post-TLB Narnia 'verse I played around in for a while, wherein Susan is immortal and joins the FBI, then Peter is somehow raised from the dead and also joins the FBI. I would cross the X-Files over with this, and develop an OT4.

4. Harry Potter. Mulder and Scully investigate weird goings-on that, unbeknownst to them, are caused by foolhardy Death Eaters.

5. Captain Planet. Mulder and Scully investigate a group of kids who appear to be able to control the elements.



From allothi: top 5 fictional places for a talking chicken to do an internship

1. UNCRC (United Nations Chickens Rights Council)

2. Narnia, 'cos what better place for a talking animal?

3. In Ankh-Morpork's Unseen University library, under the tutelage of the Librarian.

4. An apprenticeship with Death, of any fandom. If Discworld can have a Death of Rats, why can't there be a Death of Chickens?

5. The chicken mafia, shipping illegal feed and trafficking hens, extorting protection fees to terrorize other chickens during the Bird Flu scare. I guess this is more an apprenticeship than an internship, if anything. The work's tough, but the pay is great and you meet all sorts of interesting people!



From animus_wyrmis: top 5 things I want to see in the Dawn Treader movie

1. Peter & Susan in some form. Either in the beginning/end, or maybe in flashbacks. Not that this is going to happen, apparently.

2. hot actors and compelling characterizations for Drinian and other crew members, to encourage fiiiiic

3. buttloads and buttloads of chemistry between Edmund and Caspian, whether antagonistic or otherwise. Maybe they challenge each other's kingship, or maybe Edmund ends up guiding and supporting Caspian, because Edmund has much experience being "the other king".

4. references to how things Used To Be

5. the star's daughter having a name



From miakun: 5 things Will would have done if he'd gone to Camelot, which is more a solidification of the comments section here. When I write my "Will lives!" AU, the following things will totally totally happen.

1. surprise Arthur by being rather competent at hunting. Much more so than Merlin, who relies on magic than actual skill when it comes to hunting. Merlin is excused from future hunting excursions, much to Merlin's relief, and Arthur and Will get bonding time.

2. share Merlin's room. It was meant to be a temporary arrangement, but they get used to it.

3. recognize Morgana's magicalness without anyone needing to tell him. Will grew up seeing Merlin struggle with the same kind of thing, and he knows the signs.

4. is one of the people struck down by the Old Religion in the finale when Merlin bargains for Arthur's life.

5. seamlessly become Gaius's other son-figure because it's demand-and-supply with Will's own father issues.

Yeah, they would drive Arthur up the wall.

...great. Now I sort of want Will/Morgana/Arthur threesome. Because I'm sane and uncrazy and really very sane that way.

They'd all be SO BOSSY that they'd get nothing done. They'd have to call in an unbiased third fourth party like Gwen to just make it work and call out directions.

[allothi.livejournal.com]

Now all I can think of is them playing twister, with Gwen on the wee spinny thing! They'd be so competitive! It might get ugly.

GWEN: Morgana... um... I'm not sure humans--
MORGANA: *crack*
GWEN: --bend that way. o_o

They should just stick to boardgames, which I'm sure would end in Arthur throwing the Monopoly board at Morgana in a huff complaining about taxation and how he'd never stay at Park Place anyway, when there's Boardwalk just up the road.
