I haven’t put together one of these posts in what feel like an eternity. Actually, it probably has been an eternity, because the last time that I praised a community, well, that was Stellar. Anyhow, this goes out to Must Be Pop, because as much as I avoid out of character things and the crap that comes along with it, it seems as if Must Be Pop is receiving a heck of a lot of well deserved love nowadays, and I want to join in even if I am not all too sure if all of these writers ever navigate through here.
Kate Moennig: Alright. Where to begin, where to begin. I could ramble on for days about you and the many top notch portrayals – from various communities, not simply Must Be Pop – I have seen you take on. I mean, come the heck on. Who else could be convincing enough to make me play a male? A male! I can’t play males. That’s like asking me to give up chocolate. Impossible, I tell you. But Miller was the sole exception, and that was because you made those short lived two weeks worth it. That, and the fact that you played an old, wrinkled, goofy old man for my sake and for the sake of my inner Zeta-Jones. So, from Rachel Appleton and Natalie Appleton, to Angelina and Catherine, to goodness knows what other roles, I’ve always enjoyed playing with you. You’ve always managed to breathe life to each and every one of your roles unlike anyone else I have role-played with. You are, all in all, an exceptional writer and anyone, everyone should be more than honored to write with any of the many faces you’ve portrayed. With that said, I am a biased pain in the rear end, and if Kate were to ever part from Must Be Pop, I don’t know if I would be able to keep Jennifer around. You’re the Kate for me. That’s that. In fact, you’re the Kate for me, and the Angelina for me, and the Natalie for me, and I do know that I am not mentioning all of your roles, past and present, but I’m sure you understand my point. So, thank you. Thank you for sharing your exceptional writing and portrayals with me, and thank you for always making it fun. And jeez, I feel as if I should end this with a little bit of Cell Block Tango, or I Move On, but I’ve misplaced my Chicago soundtrack. Go figure.
PS: I had to log back in just to mention Joan and Melissa Rivers. HOW COULD I FORGET THOSE TWO? I think I just choked on my water while remembering our live interviews and our red carpet coverage logs. Poor, poor, poor Reese and her <(O.O)> self. At least I think that was it, if I remember correctly.
Laurel Holloman: So, I am going to let you in on a little secret. And that is that when I first joined Must Be Pop, I had already quite role-playing well over six months prior to joining, perhaps even longer than that. Not only had I quit, but I had yet to find a role that I could grow attached to and could manage to keep active for any longer than three weeks. I had given up on it, all of it, and very much thought that I was going to end up joining, disliking it, and dying off anyhow. But oh, Jesus Christ, was I wrong. I was very, very, very wrong because somewhere between the week that I joined and February of this year, your Laurel managed to leave me in awe. And yes, I know, not many people play Laurel Holloman to begin with. In fact, I don’t think I’ve ever stumbled across a Laurel anywhere but at Must Be Pop. And yet, regardless, I can still manage to say that your Laurel is the one for me because I can’t imagine anyone portraying her any better than you already do. She’s exceptionally well written and raw, and I mean that in only the best of ways. She’s real in that she reacts to things as a person would and not as a lot of people have their characters react to things. Goodness, I hope I am making sense with that. I suppose, what I mean is that she isn’t an ordinary portrayal at all. She’s multi-layered, I feel, and she’s complicated, yet in a good way and that’s so refreshing to see. I mean, I wouldn’t want anyone else as Jennifer’s best friend, and it has been a privilege to be able to write with you – I mean that, a privilege – because not only are you a great writer, but your Laurel is also on point. She’s exactly as I picture Laurel to be. And in addition to everything that I’ve already mentioned, I do know that nowadays it seems as if everyone needs to somehow know each other out of character in order to write any kind of storyline with each other and yet, I have no idea who you are and you have no idea who I am. That is something that I am proud to say because their friendship developed through writing and communication, not through anything else. So, thank you to you, too. You’ve been the sole reason behind the fact that I have managed to keep this role for what will soon be a year.
Quentin Tarantino: Who are you, and where the fuck did you come from? Because you are amazing, amazing, amazing and I mean that in every sense of the word. You’re Q is so spot on, and so very much the way in which I picture him to be. He’s funny, ridiculously funny, and intelligent, and so knowledgeable of movies, just as Quentin should be. Really, your Q is a star, and I can’t say that I’ve seen very many Quentin’s portrayed before. But those that I have seen, you most definitely put them to shame. He’s well rounded, and knowledgeable, and a very, very good friend. He puts up with her crap, and with her occasional S.O.S. calls, and even puts up with her mommy talks and stories about her daughter. He’s perfect, and I don’t often use that word because, in all honesty, is there even such a thing as perfect? Goodness, I also have to admit that there was a point in time when I felt as if you were going to allow him to die off. Yet, I am so damned glad that it didn’t happen, and that following those five weeks of time came yet another amazingly written journal entry. If not, well, I would have been very sad and disappointed, just as Jennifer would have been. So, as much as I feel as if I am beginning to sound repetitive with this, I have to say that you are the Quentin for me and for what seems like many others. I have yet to spot a post in which characters from Must Be Pop are praised without seeing your Q mentioned. He is a community favorite, it seems, and it’s well deserved.
I could go on, and on, and on. But Gossip Girl is on and I have to watch Chuck and Blair in all their glory. So I will end this with mentioning a few other favorites of mine, some of which I admire from afar: Leisha Hailey (who I really should type much more than just a mention about, and will eventually because she is spot in many ways,) Alexis Bledel, Abbie Cornish, Colin Farrell, Ellen Degeneres, Calista Flockhart (who is new but I already think she is great,) Maria Bello, Meryl Streep, and Rashida Jones. You’re all amazing.
