Go look at your blog journal. Find the last Fandom-related thing you posted. The characters in that post are now your team-mates in the Zombie Apocalypse. How fucked are you?

I get nearly indestructable warrior-robots who are also cars, two highly trained US soldiers, Sam and Carli. FUCH YEAH. If we can use Carli as bait, I'd say the Zombie Apocalypse will be a walk in the park. :D


Now that this question is dealt with, on to cuter things: A bear named Winnie. :D

Yes, that bear/Fassbender movie I've talked about recently. I managed to get my hands on it and it is every bit as cute and sugar and d'awww as I imagined it to be. Fassbender plays a Canadian soldier named Harry Colebourn in WWI and he involuntarily adopts a cute little bear cub from a hunter who didn't have it in his heart to shoot the little thing. The other soldiers are immediately taken in by the bear's irresistable charm, so they decide to make her their mascot and call her Winnie, short for Winnipeg where they are stationed.

What follows next is - I kid you not - about half an hour of Fassbender cuddling, kissing, feeding and playing with a bear cub. Sometime in between, he meets his tentmate Macray who is quite a bit nerdy and seems to fall equally fast and awkwardly in love with Winnie as well as her owner Harry. They co-parent the bear, talk about how Macray doesn't really fit into the army whereas Harry has abandonment issues. They try to return Winnie to nature several times, but Winnie loves her parents too much is too clever and always comes back.

When it's clear that they can't just leave Winnie on her own, they smuggle her to London where they bring her to the zoo. Winnie is miserable at first, but after they realise she's completely tamed they let many children close to play with her. Meanwhile, Harry loses Macray in battle and ends up in a military nursing home with some sort of post-war trauma. He doesn't speak, just lies in his bed and sometimes mutters the names of his lost boyfriend Macray and Winnie. So they bring - now fully grown! - Winnie to that nursing home and when Harry recognises her, he breaks into tears and is torn out of his state. It's awfully cheesy and it should be ridiculous - and it kind of is - but Fassbender is just so good that he makes it feel real and heartwrenchingly adorable. In the end, you see A.A. Milne with his son at the zoo, speculating about Winnie's story and then deciding to write a story about a bear called Winnie ... the Pooh. YAY. \o/

OK, so the movie has some terrible and abrupt cutting and it's CHEESY, but just looking at that cute little bear with its huge ears melts your heart. And then there's Fassbender, his character all nature boy and horse/bear whisperer and liked by pretty much everyone, with an awesome, sexy hat and his nerdy best friend and it's all sugar and rainbows and ... yeah. Me likes. :D

You really should, it's worth a watch just for Fassbender and the bear alone. <3
