I saw the first hour or so of Minotaur today (had to stop it because Boyfriend came over) and the movie is just weird. O_o Some of the effects are so bad, especially ones involving blood spatter. I cried like a baby during S:ALB. =( Um...there's nudie bits, so I wouldn't advise watching it around people who you feel awkward watching that with. For some reason, I can't watch movies with nudity or sex scenes around certain friends because it's just awkward (aka I am awkward, even though I'm really sort of not). Ooh. Want Capetown. Dude, I've been using Pirate Bay for all of this. lol
I stopped reading a lot of the stuff of them hooking up while Harry was still his student, partially because some of the plot devices used to get them together or explanations as to why Snape would get involved with a student were just bad. That fic I wrote bent my own rules a little because Harry was technically 27. I realized that I also can't really ship Will/Finn or Will/Kurt unless it's futurefic. My issues come from a logical standpoint: why the hell would Will risk his career as a teacher (which is pretty much all he has at this point) to screw a student? Also, I have issues with serious maturity level differences. Arthur and Eames have a pretty decent balance because Eames still makes sure he does his job and does it well, so there's no weirdness for me. I couldn't ship Snape/student!Harry after awhile because Harry's still a teenager, albeit a pretty mature one, and there's no way in hell that a damaged man with some seriously fucked up life experiences and a whole lot of emotional baggage would be like "Hm...I'm going to go fall in love with/shag this 16 year old who's mostly reacting to his issues by yelling at people and being emo, despite the fact that he's also saving the world and dealing with his own problems." It just feels kind of creepy and predatory now that I'm a bit older and can look at this stuff from a logical standpoint.

Logic ruins fandom for me sometimes. lol
