#m15m

[nemesiskismet]

I'm watching someone react to Phantom of the Opera on youtube and all I can think about is @/cleolinda and Movies in 15 Minutes. Every second of it... Getting the candle holders cheap from some beast. Slightly ugly to one side. The Dread Pirate Roberts ballet. I can't take this movie seriously anymore even though I still enjoy it. T'was a simpler time.

My beloved has decorated a cake for a friend, in the shape of a hobbit hole. While doing so she watched lotr and after finishing picked up our copy of Movies in Fifteen Minutes by @cleolinda to reread her wonderful, gloriously millennial retelling.

My turn with the book next, I think.

polyglot was so good but like, was that "department of backstory" aside a reference to that LJ post, Harry Potter and the Prisoners of Azkaban in 15 Minutes, that I have also been quoting for 12 years???

I HAVE LITERALLY BEEN QUOTING IT FOR SO LONG THAT I FORGOT WHERE IT ORIGINATED BUT HOLY SHIT BRO YES IT IS

Fun story about that LJ post: Back when @debz0rz and I were just wee munchkins attending summer camp in the great white mountains of Western Massachusetts, we used to PRINT fanfiction onto PAPER to bring with us to camp because we weren’t allowed to have any electronics--this was circa like, 2003? And you bet your ass we brought that one.

Oh my lord I literally just snorted seltzer up my nose. This is the best ask I’ve ever gotten.

Does anyone know what happened to m15m or cleolinda? I miss her work so much!

For me, the movies in 15 minutes phantom of the opera is mentally indistinguishable from the 2004 movie. Even in my car listening to the 1986 London cast, I still think to myself, “Lot 666, the Broken Chandelier of Doom and Exposition!“

Have you given up on m15m? I understand if you have, it's so much work and maybe you're tired of it, but I just looked you up and didn't find any newer ones than 2012 avengers and was disappointed. Your commentary always makes me laugh and I remember in middle school showing everyone your m15m prisoner of azkaban and printing it off the computer. It was a prized possession I enjoyed reading at night,

I’m glad you enjoyed it! I was actually wondering yesterday, not even sure why, how I would answer this question if it ever came up. I don’t really have one. In theory, there are movie series I should finish up, but… I don’t know how I would top The Avengers. It seems like a good one to go out on. Given the way my life seems to work, saying “I will never do another” would basically ensure that I’d start doing another one next week; things always seem to go the exact opposite of how I say they will. I don’t know, though—my brain has a hard time thinking in that format these days. I first started doing them ten years ago this summer, after all.

I’m still on my LiveJournal, about to get back to recapping Hannibal; sometimes I collect livetweets of other shows (I will probably do this regularly for Sleepy Hollow this fall) and a few TV movies. I even have a Black Ribbon short story out in an anthology. I still write things that I hope are entertaining, and I might even find a different way to write Movies in Fifteen Minutes—figure out how my brain works now, if not in script format. Or maybe it’ll start working that way again? I genuinely have no way of knowing.
