Pacific Rim
Dec. 14th, 2013 10:22 pm(Bad mental health day today, just fyi: not sure if the following makes all that much sense, but whatevs.)
So, after you all told me to, I finally watched Pacific Rim. Wow, it really was a film about monsters and giant robots. Er.
( I guess there are people who are taking longer about this than me? So this is cut for them )
The problem is I'm never fannish about movies - I have the attention span of a gnat; you need to push me into watching episode after episode, or reading chapter after chapter, before I get that switch flicked - but what I like about it in the fannish way is the Drift. (I'm a sucker for fiction that is ambitious enough to try and create a new kind of human interpersonal relationship: which is why I adore telepathy as a trope and keep writing Star Trek AUs just so I can create more telepaths, and also, this is why I loved Temeraire, actually - because of the unique, not-romantic not-friendship not-familial relationship between Laurence and Temeraire.) I kind of want to use this idea for a tonne of other people, which is why I'm sort of toying with writing a fic where some people (Hermione and Tonks (and Ginny?); Cecil and Dana?; probably Ben and April) are, and are not, Drift-compatible, and hijinks ensue. Is there fic about this already? There must be. Anyway, please tell me if you have thoughts on this movie, I would love to hear them.
