HCL and CanCon

[luzula]

zabira and meresy poked me and said I should watch Hard Core Logo right now (or, well, two hours ago). So I did. I don't know why I haven't watched it before, really--I just never got around to it.

I'm too tired for long analysis, even if I were capable of it (which I'm not). So here are some jumbled thoughts: I was really moved. And completely shocked by the ending, which was done to great effect and which I was unspoiled for. The Joe/Billy relationship was so touching, because it really felt like they had history together. Everything was so...tangled up. And fucked up. My sympathies kept shifting between Joe and Billy, and the manipulating director thing was so well done in a meta sense (but felt really cruel in the story).

If someone could point me towards some fic recs, that would be great. I'll probably start with spuffyduds long April Fools thing.

Also: CKR = so fucking hot here. Especially in the black and white shots. Yeah, I know that isn't news to anyone.

Hmm. I can't really see how there could be a sequel, though.

Also, sadly, I am canceling my trip to CanCon. I've admitted to myself that it's unrealistic travel-wise. The thing is, I'm doing fieldwork in the mountains in the north of Sweden in the summer, and finish just before CanCon. I'd have to be flown out by helicopter, then take the train for over 24 hours, sleep a night at home, and then fly to Canada the next morning. It just won't work. Or at least, I'd be half-dead with travel. : (

Oh yeah, same here. It was in-fucking-credible. I sat there the whole time going OMG OMG OMG 'cause suddenly everything made sense, all the fic, all the RPS. The chemistry was incendiary as was their general hotness. And the ending!

And I got to share that will all of you. I am a lucky, lucky fangirl.
