Dorkitude. Or Maybe Geekitude.

Dinner last night: lean-meat tacos, half a pound of ground beef shared between the two of us, with the lettuce and tomato coming from my garden. Finally started in on it and got about half the laundry put away; all the pots, pans, and dishes are washed. I actually woke up this morning feeling energized and creative; I attribute this to the fact that I actually had some dreams that I remember. One was a table at a convention where the people manning it were trying to get me to relate the critters in Pokemon to yaoi so that I could be entered in a drawing for free memberships to YaoiCon. Scary! The other dream was watching part of a new He-Man live-action movie (they're actually doing a Smurfs movie, which leaves He-Man and She-Ra as just about the last standing '80s cartoons not to get a shot at the big screen), which was actually pretty damn cool. Cooler than the one they did back in the '80s at any rate. I suspect the dream combined Etheria and Eternia because there was this huge sweeping cast shot on the desert sands and I remember thinking lots of colors and lots of characters, like a flock of butterflies or something.

Your Score: Geek Aspirant

You scored 58 out of 60

If you don't consider yourself a geek, perhaps you could start. If you do, you're probably mad at me for picking ambiguous quotes. (I swear they're the best IMDB had to offer... you might want to re-watch some of your movies).

Nope - He-Man's in active pre-pro - to be CGI/motion capture iirc. The story was on AintItCoolNews not more than a month ago - I want to say w/in the past couple of weeks. She-Ra, I don't think, had the following to get its own movie.

And I gather there really is a YaoiCon??

*goes off to take the geek test*

...hmm. That narrows the remaining '80s field even further. CGI?? Why, lord? But then that's my reaction to the Thundercats movie too.

And, yes, there is a YaoiCon. It's in San Francisco. I only went the first year but I have friends who attend far more regularly.

CGI I think I'd rather have, cuz to find someone buff enough for He-Man, plus the rest of the team...I'd have baaad flashbacks to Dolph & co's 80's travesty (which I don't recall being that bad - at the time, for its target demographic).

Thundercats would be even work, methinks... a LOT of prosthetics needed... I'd rather have CGI a la TMNT - realistic interaction w/ their environment is more important than realistic looks.

Eh, maybe I'm just thinking the wrong kind of CGI. The "Beowulf" type, which just ended up looking "almost right" and therefore incredibly fake. Hopefully it'll be better than that.
