I've never understood the fandom scene. I probably never will.
I did end up watching Firefly (on DVD) just recently and found that I enjoyed it a lot (unlike Buffy and Wheadon's other shows, whatever they may be) so we saw the movie yesterday. I was upset when the character in question died, but I'm writer enough to know -why- he did. Someone had to. I sort of felt that more should've died.
I enjoyed the LOTR movies, but tended to phase out during the fight scenes, much as I would while reading the books (which I do, once a year, whether I need to or not...) None of the scenery (lovely though it was) matched up to what I thought it should be. But that's the way it is.
My biggest pet peeve these days is the lack of character motiviation. This, plus the creation of false conflicts, dulls my interest completely. (See LOST for numerous examples of this...)
Haven't seen a Star Wars movie since the third one came out. No, not the one that came out recently. You know, the third one. The real third one. Return of the Jedi. Lucas can insist until his dying day that he actually planned to do all of these movies exactly the way he has from the get-go, but I'll never believe it.
