The Oddest Things Remind Me Of The Boys...

[fancy-galloway.livejournal.com]

So I watched 'Due Date' last night.  I enjoyed it, it wasn't the laugh-a-minute thrill ride that was 'Tropic Thunder', but RDJ didn't let me down.  It did however leave me with the burning desire to see a fic wherein Steve and Tony are on a cross country road trip-for whatever reason-and drive each other absolutely bonkers but love each other anyway. 

Anyone want to adopt this bunny?

....I may...just have to stake a claim on this one, as someone who roadtrips-across-the-country-and-or-Canada at least once every 4 months.

[fancy-galloway.livejournal.com]

WRITE IT. lol seriously? you go on that many trips? Any particular reason or just epic wanderlust?

[soapcat.livejournal.com]

Wanderlust, actually. I just...travel. A lot.

[dieewigenacht.livejournal.com]

I fucking love roadtrips, just so you know.

[fancy-galloway.livejournal.com]

Me too! I do at least one every year to Dragon*Con.

[grand-duc.livejournal.com]

someone really should write it.

By the way fancy_galloway, your icon is great. My first thought when I saw it was: "Don't let Tony see it, it won't help his ego."

[fancy-galloway.livejournal.com]

They really should.

Thanks! I made it! Lol, I doubt theres much that can be done about that ego at this point. But I am trying to create a group of Ironettes down here in Miami and over the cyberwebs. We had some confusion at a few cons last year and now I'm trying to get an organized group together of cool chicks (and a few Tony's) who want to get in shape, dance and nerd out.

[wings-of-cover.livejournal.com]

Ironettes! That sounds awesome. I'm in the process of getting back in shape.

I could probably even draft some people at school to make nice little arc reactors/hand repulsor units...

[fancy-galloway.livejournal.com]

YES!!!! I recently lost 40 lbs and I'm working on getting into shape. I was an Ironette at Dragon*Con last year but it wasnt organized and there ended up being drama. I want just a cool group of chicks that can feel like an actual team and motivate each other.

Let me know If you actually want to do this cuz im looking for motivated members!

[ewanspotter.livejournal.com]

That sounds amazing and should be written.

(Related but ranty: What's with all the critical Due Date hate? A 39% at Rotten Tomatoes is unbelievable to me. Greatest movie ever? No. But 39%? Paul Blart: Mall Cop has a 50%! It's like some strange The Hangover backlash. The same people who praised that are panning Due Date for things like weak character development, etc... yet The Hangover had none of that. I liked The Hangover, but seriously? When did a raunch-comedy have the same expectations of Schindler's List?)

[fancy-galloway.livejournal.com]

I agree! I'm over Rotten Tomatoes. They are completely inconsistent. And No, Due Date wasnt knock my socks off, but I laughed, That was the point of a comedy, last I heard. My favorite Due Date hate? That people are more angry at RDJ for spitting at a dog than hitting a human child.

Whateves. I'm standing next to RDJ (and apparently you, lol) on this one.

[ewanspotter.livejournal.com]

The kid thing was so, so wrong. But we laughed. And we're going to hell for it.

[fancy-galloway.livejournal.com]

The thing is, at some point in all our lives, weve met that kid and desperately wanted to punch him in the gut.

RDJ just did it so we can continue being morally upstanding citizens.

I heart you and your fakenews gifs and icons.

Thank you, thank you very much.

BTW and this may have zero relevance to you but with all the fakenews stuff I had to share. I waited on Rick Sanchez at work yesterday! All I could picture was him being tazed over and over.

[ewanspotter.livejournal.com]

You should have assured him with a, "Mr. Sanchez, this meal is totally 100% unkosher, just how you like it! Enjoy!"


... and then get fired. But what a zing!

I totally pitched this class. No joke. The assignment was a to "reimagine a movie" and I did this:

(1) Captain America wakes up. Fury and Tony pop the champagne. Steve's less thrilled, you know, with the whole "seventy years gone" and "foreign culture" thing.

(2) Tony desperately wants to be BFFs with Captain America. He's CAPTAIN AMERICA. And Tony's still that schmuck who's trying to be a rock star super hero good guy. Tony thinks that if he can be friends with Cap, and get Cap to like him, then maybe, just maybe, he can find his redemption.

(3) Cap thinks Tony is a fast-talking stalker.

(4) Fury tells Cap and Tony that there's this old dude in New Mexico named Don Blake who they need to bring back to SHIELD for question. Cap remembers Blake! He was the medic in the Howling Commandos! So Cap volunteers to go get him. And Tony volunteers too. But since Tony wants to be besties with Cap, instead of just hoping in the Quinjet, Tony gets out his classic muscle car and Steve and Tony hit to road to go get back Thor, I mean, Don Blake.

(5) Tony and Steve learn to love each other. Steve sees the new modern America. They battle some crazy Neo-Nazis along the way (cause, it's Captain America. We need Nazis.)

(6) And by the time they've reached New Mexico, they are best friends FOREVER, which allows them to meet up with Donald Blake. Who slams his walking stick into the ground just in time, cause some bad guys totally show up and Thor and Cap and Tony battle them and decide they are awesome sauce together and should be the Avengers.

The End.

:)

I also want to see the road trip Post-Civil War where Tony and Steve go on the road to fight demons, and this leads them to the ultimate demon, the Diablo, and once they kill him, all of the deals he made cease to exist, so they not only save their friendship, they save Peter and MJ's marriage.

Wriiiiite iiiiit! =D =D

(They battle some crazy Neo-Nazis along the way (cause, it's Captain America. We need Nazis.) = so true)

[fancy-galloway.livejournal.com]

I think I just fell in love with you.

[angel-inoshi.livejournal.com]

This is now my movie canon 8D

[fictivore.livejournal.com]

Oh... If.. If by any chance killing off Mephistopheles will also off all his deals, then someone needs to SIC ALL OF MARVELUNI ONTO HIM!!! Like, right now!! \o/ Beep! That is the best way to save Peter & MJ's marriage I have heard yet!!! :DD

[tonks07.livejournal.com]

I eagerly await someone writing this in fic form.

[savemoony.livejournal.com]

Maybe it will be the Christmas Gift to the Comm.

[truthiness-aura.livejournal.com]

I was driving down the road today and thinking idly about how awesome this would be. Delicious. Delicious!

Also? When you said "neo-Nazis" I was totally thinking of "The Blues Brothers". ...And now I can't stop thinking of Steve and Tony walking into a diner somewhere and ordering four fried chickens and a Coke. And some dry white toast. (Well, mostly Tony, because Steve hasn't seen the movie yet and thinks he might be a little crazy, and also why won't he take off those sunglasses?)

OMG AAAAMAZIN'
