seekingferretLikely Yuletide nominations:
1. This Is Where I Leave You- a comedy film where Jason Bateman and Tina Fey are siblings brought together by the need to sit shiva for their father. I have not seen it yet, because it doesn't come out until next week, but I will be seeing it, and I will be wanting fic for it, because I cannot imagine any outcome other than me being both delighted and frustrated by it.
2. The Influence of Immanuel Kant On Evidentiary Approaches in 18th Century Bulgaria- a fictional journal article John Roberts cited in an interview a couple years back as an example of how legal academia is disconnected from the court system's needs. I just find the title really evocative. And if I don't nominate it, nobody else will.
3. Danger 5. The delightful adventures of an international team of superspies and their quest to kill Hitler in the 1960s and now the 1980s. Unless I can be sure someone else (morbane?) will nominate it, in which case I'd have another nomination for...
4. Manhattan Project RPF. Because for reasons I can't quite fathom there is someone besides me with an interest in Vannevar Bush fic, and that is a party I would like to sign up for.
Likely Fake Festivids nominations since I am not doing Festivids, only pretending
1. This Is Where I Leave You- a comedy film where Jason Bateman and Tina Fey are siblings brought together by the need to sit shiva for their father. I have not seen it yet, because it doesn't come out until next week, andjetpack_monkey has justifiably objected that this means it is likely there won't be high quality source available, but since I'm not actually doing Festivids that's not a big problem.
2. Danger 5. The delightful adventures of an international team of superspies and their quest to kill Hitler in the 1960s and now the 1980s. Because there can never be enough Danger 5.
3. Alphaville. Godard's dystopian science fictional masterpiece, set dislocatingly in a noir future Paris ruled by the evil computer Alpha-60. Because it is an utterly beautiful movie that should be vidded.
4. Hurtigruten Minutt for Minutt. The >100 hour slow television show recording the journey of a Norwegian crew ship. Because the Norwegians are weird and so am I? And someday I will do my party where we get a lot of booze and food and sit around a television all day watching Hurtigruten.
5. A Serious Man- the Coen Brothers' amazing film about doubt and despair for a secularized Jewish family in 1960s Minnesota. The Three Rabbis and the Dybbuk scene are both brilliant Jewish folktales, and they are counterbalanced by a genuine and sincere story about poor Larry Gopnik, which takes him seriously even as it invites us to laugh at him.
6. Left Behind 2: Tribulation Force. Because a serious Nicolae character study would be hilarious.
