Obligatory start-of-season spoiler rant

Okay, so yesterday, I was on my flist, and what should I see but a big, glaring character spoiler for the upcoming season of a show I watch. Fortunately, I had already been spoiled for that particular tidbit, but had I not, yesterday's post would have done the job.

I do not want to be spoiled for the upcoming TV season. Casting spoilers? Fine. But content spoilers? Not cool. If I choose to spoil myself (and for some shows, I do--LOST would make me a basket case without spoilers), fine; but I shouldn't have the right to choose taken away from me.

At the end of last season, I was irrevocably spoiled for the finale of CSI: Miami. To this day, I still haven't watched the episode, because there's no point, now that the big finish has been ruined for me. More importantly, the season finale of NCIS was also nearly spoiled for me. That is to say that I saw a big honking spoiler post, NOT behind a cut, but in a rare burst of good fortune, I had already seen the show. Normally, I don't get to see that show on time, due to work, but for some reason, I had that night off. Otherwise, a finale I was really excited about (with good reason--it was great) would have been ruined.

Please, please, please use a cut for spoilers. Even if you think it's a minor thing, it might be a big shock to someone else. It's not hard to do a cut. I and a lot of others would really appreciate it.

I'm not going to mess around this season. Tuesdays, especially, I'll be home late and won't get to see anything on time. If I keep getting spoiled, I may have to filter people out or something. I'm sorry, but being spoiled really sucks the fun out of a surprise ending.

Burst of emo coming on

Everybody and their sister has this up, but I like to have records of these things on my own journal, so I can find them later, when I'm feeling emo, gorging myself with chocolate, and remembering the good old days.

Cast Message for the Fans:

Insert Colorful Language Here

Okay, now I'm, pissed. And weirded out.

I had a specific userpic (one of McKay), and when I went to post with it, I discovered that someone had apparently hacked into my account and changed that userpic. Just that one, apparently. When I went to Photobucket, the pic was there, and I replaced it just fine. But how the fuck did someone get into my account and change one userpic? And why the fuck would they?

Classic Movie Meme

Here's a fun new meme I've never done before. I snagged it from some random person I don't know, but I do that quite often.

Go to the AFI 100 Years, 100 Movies List and answer the following questions:

1) Your favorite 5 movies that are on the list:
Casablanca
Close Encounters of the Third Kind
ET: The Extra-Terrestrial
Star Wars
Raiders of the Lost Ark

Honorable mentions go to about 40% of the list. Great movies.

2) 5 3 movies on the list that you didn't like at all:
Jaws
The Birth of a Nation
Mutiny on the Bounty

3) 5 movies on the list you haven't seen but want to:
Midnight Cowboy
Network (I can't believe I haven't seen this.)
The Manchurian Candidate (Never seen the original.)
The Apartment
Amadeus

4) 5 movies on the list that you haven't seen and have no interest in seeing:
Silence of the Lambs
The Treasure of the Sierra Madre
Annie Hall
Stagecoach
Shane

As you can see, I'm not a fan of Westerns. I probably have seen the last two, but I don't remember well enough to say for sure.

5) Your favorite 5 movies that aren't on the list:
Stargate
Sabrina
Key Largo
Brokeback Mountain
Arsenic and Old Lace

There are a TON of movies not on the list that surprise me. Jimmy Stewart isn't well represented at all (in my opinion). And in my opinion, In the Heat of the Night should be on the list, as should Lillies of the Field, Jurassic Park, and others.

Random nom

Spaghetti sauce is one of the greatest things ever in the universe. Just thought I'd throw that out there.
