My mom and I used to watch That '70s Show together when it originally aired, and Jackie was always one of her favorites. After the success of Black Swan, my mom was so happy for her.

That happens pretty regularly anyway, thanks to Dan and their activities. He's more than happy to do such things for her. As an aside, I always really wanted fic where Sho's film for the Germans consisted of her on top of Fred. I'm going to be the one to write it, aren't I?

Fortunately, those I know feel the same about him (including my parents, which I'm sure I've mentioned before?). Even when I talk with people who don't, they actually listen when I elaborate on the importance of the Shosanna/Fredrick dynamic to the film (people around me are used to my film ramblings at this point). Oh, how I love the whole, "She entirely uninterested in him!" spiel. Yes, yes, she was entirely uninterested in him, totally in love with Marcel and functioned just fine living her life as another woman and hiding out in a theater. I've been told before that I was "looking for meaning" in a Tarantino film when there was none to be found. You're right that he really has a heart; QT acts like an excitable fifteen year old with much of the direction and action, but there's something very delicate beneath that shiny surface. He's really able to trick all kinds of audiences into seeing his films because of that.
You should because I say so. Watchmen is one of those things I take entirely too seriously and personally, but I do very much recommend it. There was studio interference in the handling of some details (for instance, they didn't want any of the "good" characters to be shown smoking) and the ending was changed from the book, but it works nonetheless. It was basically a labor of love for everyone involved and it shows.
That's how it should always end. One of my friends almost wanted to write a fic where it looked to be Sho/Hellstrom, but what turned into Sho/Fred. We're all allowed a concession. And if it came down to it, I don't think Katie would mind stepping aside to allow for the true love forever of Mel/Dan.
Christopher Walken would be their father; which makes sense when you see Walken from the '70s and '80s (he said he doesn't like watching his films from those decades because he was "too much of a pretty boy"). More and more, August is revealing himself to be a Were-Walken.
August totally would. Dan is like the single friend all people married/in relationships know who totally needs to meet the right person.

Absolutely. He's played the broody and sensitive soldier, so I've made sure in my writing of Manfried that he stand out more from those parts. He does have the Fredrick influence, but with a more intimate look at the extent of his trauma.

I haven't used the fancier editing programs, either. I'm barely acquainted with the iMovie program on my laptop, which I should do something about. I like that one! There have been some I enjoyed, but I think the only one I favorited was one that used Three Days Grace. Not my kind of music, but I thought it worked. I also gleefully messaged the video maker with QT's quotes and such, which got her all excited. Then a commenter rained on our parade by saying that in this instance, Juliet hated Romeo and blah blah blah.
I like this: http://fv-poster.livejournal.com/51915.html The focus is on Shosanna, her loss, and Fredrick. My friend had it made for her for festivids.
