movies i have watched

[salixbabylon]

OK, so I jumped into SPN fandom but held back on some aspects, made some rules, tried to have some limits.

You know what I'm bad at?

Limits.

So although I did not *intend* to watch other movies/TV that Jared and Jensen and Jeff were in, because OHBOY have I been burned and watched some true stinkers just because hot boys were in them (*coughPATHFINDERcough*)... Well... As a writer, I needed to hear more of their voices.

That's my excuse and I'm sticking to it.

So far I've watched Gilmore Girls, Dark Angel, PS I love You, Grey's Anatomy, Cheaper By the Dozen, Her Minor Thing, and Ten Inch Hero:



Gilmore Girls - This was OK through season 3, then you want to bash your head in. Or Jess'. Or Rory's. Or even Dean's, god love him. I'm at the beginning of season 4 and the Big Thing has happened and it's so unbearably awkward that I just can't even force myself to keep watching. I will. Soon. But not quite yet. *sigh*

Dark Angel - mini!Dean (from ladykatiewench) is pretty awesomely funny and so hot that he *almost* makes up for how much this show TOTALLY SUCKS ASS. But not quite. I have about 4 episodes left to go, and again, I just haven't been able to force myself to slog through them. The last two I watched with my finger on the fast-forward button, waiting for Jensen to appear before I stopped. Like he's porn or something and I need to get to the good bits.

PS I love You - Not what I expected and actually a pretty good movie, I thought. I enjoyed it. I laughed, I cried, I ogled Jeff's naked ass. At least three times, thanks to rewind. It was worth watching. (The movie and the ass.)

Grey's Anatomy - I'm very conflicted about this one. I watched it while I was slipping deeper into depression and it made me sob with every episode (I only watched the ones with JDM). Yet, I never really understood why he liked Izzy or why she liked him, and he was kind of a bit of a dick. Charming as hell, but inappropriate. So I didn't fall in love with Denny like everyone else did. *shrug*

Cheaper By the Dozen - Actually not a terrible movie for a kid's film. Although I still can't quite believe that I watched the whole thing for about 3 lines from Jared. Ah well. At least Tom Welling is pretty. (And he's also in my huge epic fic, so that's how I justified this one.)

Her Minor Thing - I *really* liked this film! It was sort of dorky, independent-movie-ish, but fun. And although I for some reason expected to not like Christian Kane at all, I honestly, truly did. He was kind of awesome. And it was a cute movie, cute story (if somewhat preposterous that a girl who looked like that, who wasn't broken in some way, could ever still be a virgin in her mid-twenties.) And it was filmed in my husband's hometown, so that was kind of cool to see.

Speaking of movies filmed in my hometown...

Ten Inch Hero - Hardly any of this was actually shot in Santa Cruz! We are totally palm tree-less, but it was still kind of fun sorting out which locations were in LA-area and which were Big Sur and which were here. Anyway. Dear God, the plot was so clunky and anvilicious and yet also totally self-contradictory. It was like they couldn't quite decide what the message was that they were trying to hit me over the head with - something about being superficial, but they couldn't quite decide on what.

I confess, I hated most of the storylines. And I thought Priestly was way way WAY yummier before he changed. GUh. Jensen looking like that is pretty much my personal fantasy.

Well, one of them. I have a *lot* of fantasies with Jensen in them.



I would still see Blonde, The Accidental Husband, and possibly the Christmas Cottage or whatever they're calling it and New York Minute.

Maybe.

In conclusion? Jensen = porn.

If you go to YouTube, all of Jensen's scenes from Blonde are there, including the infamous kimono dance.

DON'T WATCH THE CHRISTMAS COTTAGE. FOR THE LOVE OF ALL THAT'S JARED, DON'T WATCH THAT MOVIE. IT'S A TRAVESTY AND IT'LL MENTALLY SCAR YOU.

I've seen the kimono dance - I just need context. Maybe I can watch it while I'm making my halloween costume or something where I'm hardly paying attention at all.

Cottaging - I know, I read your review. I mean, I've had my concerns since the beginning because seriously - Thomas Kincade? He needed a biopic? WTF were they thinking when that got green-lighted?

But it might be fun to MST3K it... As I do with GG and DA. Because it's fun to be mean. ;)

I've downloaded Dark Angel, but haven't had a chance to watch it yet. Have seen a couple eps of GG, thanks to Katie, but not in it for the whole show. I LOVED 'PS I love you'! And yes, I agree, JDM's ass should be bronzed. Ooh baby!

Mm... bronze.... *rowr*

Okay... Pathfinder was incredibly bad, but the Karl hotness overrides the the directing and script yeah? I find myself unable to turn the channel when it's on so I've watched it more times than I'd ever tell anyone. :)

I confess, I was not sufficiently distracted by Karl. Probably if I'd rented it or seen it on TV, I would have liked it better. Paying $8 for a crap movie always makes me have a more harsh opinion than otherwise. ;)
