Oh Fay, I wasn't responding to you personally. From what I've been reading most of the folks here who saw the film weren't that impressed.
Wow, you've really mastered the power of positive giving-up.

Spike's Bitches 41: Thrown together to stand against the forces of darkness
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger
Oh, I totally bashed on it! Cheerfully and with AND without malice. My eyes rolled so much during that movie, I kept the airflow going in the theatre.
Some eps I liked; some, not so -- but I only caught them here and there.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
Fay, Death Note is nuts! I just got to the part where L ENROLLS IN LIGHT'S COLLEGE AND TRIES TO BE BUDDIES WITH HIM. INSANE!

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
For the record, Pete, Husband of Reason,is Super adorable.
So is his wife even when Plei is trying to break her.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
However, my two close friends bought me the entire series for one of my birthdays and told me that the tone changed considerably in the last couple of seasons and that they thought I'd like it.
DH watched the whole series before he saw the movie (because he was reviewing it and does things like that) and said the same thing. So maybe I'll just watch the last two seasons and get the backstory from Wikipedia.

I watched the last season OnDemand, and I was always itching for them to put up the next episode.

"Fuck Western ideologically-motivated gender identification!" Sulu gasped, and came.
Oh Fay, I wasn't responding to you personally.
No, no, it wasn't anything that anyone said that made me feel embarrassed - just rereading my own post this morning I thought how sad I'd feel if someone was so disparaging about something I liked. There's no need to trample on people's beautiful cake.
P-C, you just provoked clapping and Paul Gross arms here in the middle of my classroom (it's the Thai lesson, so I'm sitting quietly using the PC while the kids do Thai things). The twisty twists keep right on coming! I loved the bit when you discover who Light's dad is. (And, OMG, have I mentioned that I heart L? Weirdo brainiac sugarjunky freak that he is?)

You have mentioned it! He has CRAZY EYES.
I love Ryuk. I think he would be a hoot to have around.

All is well that ends in pizza.
They closed another bridge here in Minnesota last week, Just a precaution, but it's across the Mississippi river and the closest other bridges for the people near it are 25 miles in one way or the other.
So the cities on either side decided to hire some transportation for commuters, so people could get across for the duration.
It started today.
I told you that so that you may understand what I heard on Minnesota Public radio when i got off work tonight.
I will type it with the spelling my brain tossed in instead of the spelling they meant.
A short boat ride is putting a smile on the face of commuters in Winona.
A pair of fairies motored to and fro this morning, carrying more than 1,000 people across the Mississippi in either direction.
and
Lisa Abertowski had been driving 70 minutes to make what used to be a short commute between her Wisconsin home and the Minnesota town of Homer. With the fairies, her commute was back down to just a few minutes.
She called the fairy service "awesome."
Brain? Let me grin as I drove home tonight.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
My reflex is "fairies don't motor!" and then I imagined steampunk fairies, and I'm in my own happy place.
