Plans dashed, alas

charloweenThe Adventure of the Greatest SPN Episode That Never Happened (aka The Fake SPN Movie) did not go as planned, alas.
The Plan was to watch My Bloody Valentine (starring Jensen Ackles) and then head to see Friday the 13th (starring Jared Padalecki). Tee hee, hilarious, etc.
Both![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
firstgold and I are suffering from mild death plague, and due to a reluctance to go all the freaking way out to Scarborough to catch them both at the same theatre, the timing of the two movies was such that we had to see Friday the 13th first.
If it was a bad movie, there'd be more to say about it. It was a dull, boring movie. Over at my Twitter feed I rated it a "meh/10". It's not even worth figuring out reasons why it was boring. God, it was so boring. Yes, there were lots of boobs, but even the boobs were boring boobs. (Watching Dick Casablancas get an arrow through his head was fairly entertaining, as was the fact that the movie was just like a girl!Dean fic I read once where Sammy had to save his sister.)
By all accounts, My Bloody Valentine is a watchable and fun little movie, but even the prospect of Ackles dressed like a sheriff for a whole movie wasn't enough to make us care. Lesson learned: this is the kind of wacky plan that works for a Movie Night of Doom, not a going-to-theatres kind of thing.
As such, I propose a Fake SPN Movie Movie Night Of Doom (with, maybe, Devour and others added to the mix?). Friday the 13th will be present, albeit enthusiastically fast-forwarded.
So thanks, Friday the 13th, for sucking all the fun out of a Master Plan. (We ended up watching an episode of Leverage. And thanks for the heads-up,piratefanatic, it's quite a fun show!)

I'll send along The Devil's Whore with dangerous (http://www.radiotimes.com/content/features/galleries/john-simm/15/mainImage.jpg), scruffy (http://www.iconocast.com/00027/B7/News9A_0.jpg) John Simm.

HOORAH! BAD MOVIE DAY!

\o/ Bad movies for the win! We should also have a Crappy-Looking Movies Char Bought Years Ago But Never Watched Yet Movie Night of Doom.

Fair warning: there might be a high James Spader quotient in the CLMCBYABNWYMNoD.

I'm on the jury duty episode now. *ruffles Parker's hair*

I mean, it's not like you can *re*discover the horrifying yet lolarious PLOT TWIST OMG. So...whyyyyyyyy?

Date: 2009-02-17 03:25 pm (UTC)Bad movies on fast-forward are hilarious. All the fun of being able to do your own MST3K-ing, without the investment of much time. And because I don't have a copy of Ten Inch Hero (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0829297/). (*shudders*)

Date: 2009-02-17 09:47 am (UTC)ANYWHO. This post amuses me for two reasons:
1) that you have read Winsister fic. I have too, but still, it amuses me.
2) that the boobs were boring. THEY DIDN'T ASK TO BE BORN THAT WAY, CHARLOTTE!

Date: 2009-02-17 02:59 pm (UTC)1. My favourite was when the boys and John all turned into women but kept their male brains and it was all awkward because they suddenly thought they all were really hot. It was written in a very silly voice.
2. Even the boobs were phoning in their performance. An example of how boring this movie was, one of the young men compliments his sex partner on her "perfect nipple placement". That, my friend, is boring boobs.

Date: 2009-02-17 03:10 pm (UTC)1. I need a link of this. Just your description is making me laugh, so I can only imagine how this is going to turn out.
2. "Perfect nipple placement"? Um. Right. Talk about boosting a girl's ego, buddy! EVERY girl wants to hear about their nipple placement. How much more endearing can you get?

Date: 2009-02-17 03:58 pm (UTC)1. I'll try and see if I can find it, but all I remember is that it was a year+ or more ago, and I probably found it through
2. The entire movie was like that. Stilted and afflicted with a case of the terminal stupids.

Date: 2009-02-17 04:05 pm (UTC)And that's what a true friend is-one who will try and find you a genderbender fic, but placate you in the meantime with glitterporn. *squishes*
Good god, I hope he's the sheriff. I already know what happens, but please, let him be the sheriff. Or, at the very least, let him dress up as a sheriff sometime soon in SPN. I will willingly admit to going back to a certain season two episode just to see him in the fur collard jacket and hat for this very reason.
(no subject)
Date: 2009-02-17 06:48 pm (UTC)But, you know, glitterporn. I love SPN for its crackfic.
I don't think anyone goes to see horror movies for the plot! I may still go to see MBV should I find a willing companion. I shall report back.

Date: 2009-02-17 09:10 pm (UTC)You know. The Goody Scenes. *WINK*
I remember stumbling upon a fic where the boys encounter fanfic. In one chapter, they have to eliminate the Mary Sues, and Dean's going through a list of female characters he's regularly paired with from other fandoms, while Sam's all 'she's not a Mary Sue' 'nope, her either' And Dean's just getting more and more confused, as to WHY anyone would want to write this stuff, let alone read it.

Date: 2009-02-20 03:56 pm (UTC)I still kinda find it hard to believe that "perfect nipple placement" has ever been used anywhere outside of Friday the 13th.
