Ohhhhhshit. I just had to click on a link to TV Tropes, didn't I? I even just talked about how dangerous that site is with Katie.
*sigh* I can just see the rest of evening spinning away into a cloud of open tabs and fascinated reading.
I have found a few awesome things so far, this time around:
- There are about a million different Tropes about adaptation, which I wish I'd known about last summer, because I bet my screenwriting professor (for my class on adaptation to screenplays) would've found it interesting. Hmm. Maybe I could email him...
- One of these Tropes, Adaptation Decay, linked to a truly hilarious webcomic titled "The Case of the Two Watsons," which speaks greatly to my feelings about Watson and how happy I am with Jude Law's portrayal (especially the more I read of the stories). ♥
- The revelation (via the Trapped By Mountain Lions page), that Roger Ebert in reviewing Pearl Harbor said the movie is "about how on Dec. 7, 1941, the Japanese staged a surprise attack on an American love triangle." *giggles* I knew I liked that man...
- I love that a lot of the Tropes are named utterly bewildering yet intriguing things, but every so often, there is something like the "Romantic Plot Tumor." You almost don't even need to click on that to know what it is. :D
- Truffaut Was Right. The Trope Namer is a such a very interesting statement, and one I'd surprisingly never run into before — French New Wave film director François Truffaut apparently said that there is no such thing as an anti-war movie, because it will invariably look exciting up on screen.
I immediately, of course, decided to waste a huge chunk of time on the Generation Kill and Band of Brothers pages. *facepalm*
Okay, stopping now. I have such an unhealthy relationship with that site.

Dangerous to me is the Fandom Wank Wiki. I can't read anything on there without clicking through... Oh! And ENCYCLOPEDIA DRAMATICA. Ugh. Now that's a time-waster.
