June Something Day 4 (and 3, and 2...)
Jun. 18th, 2023 01:32 pmWell, as I feared, RL got in the way of participating in the June Something... So I'll have to play catch-up today, in reverse chronological order.
Day 4: What's your most treasured piece of fandom merch?
I don't actually have a lot of fandom merch ( explained with backstory here )
So one thing I really treasure is my Headstones T-shirt collection. ( more on that )
I also have a dS RCW 139: 25th anniversary convention You Must Remember This T-shirt I really like ( details )
Not sure this qualifies (it's not for a specific fandom), but I have a collection of concert ticket stubs going back to the very first rock concerts I went to. ( ticket stubs and why they're so very important to me )
That's why one of the major bummers about eTickets, for me, is that you don't get a ticket stub anymore.
Day 3: What question would you like to see in The June Something?
I would want to ask:
1) What movie or series would you NEVER want rebooted?
And
B. If there's a fandom you left for reasons other than just moving on to a new fandom, what fandom did you leave, and why?
with bonus question:
What is the greatest distance you have traveled for any fandom reason? (e.g. to attend a fan con, attend a bandom concert, visit a fannish friend, visit or tour filming locations, etc)
and follow-up bonus question:
Have you done that trip (from the previous question) more than once? If so, how many times have you made it?
Day 2: What show or movie would you like rebooted? Same premise and storylines, but all new actors, showrunners, writers, technology, and social awareness?
As I commented on squidgie's June Something Day 2 post, I couldn't think of anything I really love that I would want to see rebooted, so I needed to think about it... ( for...reasons )
Two days later, in between RL demands, I've thought about it a lot... The only thing I really wouldn't mind seeing rebooted is The Prisoner. It was so weird in it's time (which included a lot of other trippy, weird series, and TV series that had some really trippy, weird eps *side-eyes The Avengers: Steed and Mrs. Peel, not MCU* that it's one of the few reboots I'd be interested in seeing. You could do so much more with it now, special effects-wise and technology concepts-wises - but the core idea would totally still work.
Though I think nothing could be as scary as Rover was to me when I was a child. *shudder*
