Plans dashed, alas

[charloween]

The 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 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!)

Part of me hopes it's because of theatre, but part of me really doesn't want to know. :P

[piratefanatic.livejournal.com]

It was in the theatre, yes, but not actually related to anything theatrical.

Man, my life is weird sometimes.

[firstgold.livejournal.com]

Weird, but awesome. [grins]

I still kinda find it hard to believe that "perfect nipple placement" has ever been used anywhere outside of Friday the 13th.

[naturelf.livejournal.com]

Theatre, man. If you want crazy, it's all about theatre.

[firstgold.livejournal.com]

Yeah, that's why I got out of theatre. Saw that kind of crazy and was all "DO. NOT. WANT." Heh.

Granted, my last theatre experiences were with all female companies ... so mebbe that up'd the crazy quotient.

[naturelf.livejournal.com]

And uber-feminist all-female companies, who were all about the suburban Gen Y-ers finding their Empowerment. That's like a recipe for crazy.

[firstgold.livejournal.com]

Dude, it's like ringing the dinner bell for crazy when you've already got some crazy in the dining room.

Can I just say ... two days with only Stella for company and not being able to really talk to any outside people? It's starting to drive me crazy.

[naturelf.livejournal.com]

And another pot of crazy stewing on the stove in the kitchen.

I'm sure Stella's okay with it, though. :D

[firstgold.livejournal.com]

She loves it. I think I may have to take myself out for a bit tomorrow though. Cancelled on the convention, which is sad, but sitting in a room with lots and lots of fanboys/girls while I'm sick? Not ideal.

[naturelf.livejournal.com]

Good call. I think I'm nearly over it, which is good. The end, she is in sight.

I'm heading off to look in on my friend's cat now. The poor cat is a social little critter, so I'm going to skritch behind his ears for a while. It's a hard life, sometimes. Hard hard hard. :D

[firstgold.livejournal.com]

Skritch him behind the ears for me too. I am giving Stella a good skritching now.

And watching more Leverage. Hee.

And also? So much fail for using the wrong LJ to comment. *face palm*

[naturelf.livejournal.com]

Hee, no prob.

Skritching accomplished! I'm back again today, back where there is no internet and no tv. *falls over*

ILU, Leverage.

[firstgold.livejournal.com]

Also, BADGER! (Am watching second episode of Dollhouse and Mark Sheppard is in it.

[naturelf.livejournal.com]

Ack! Of course Mark Sheppard is in it. Is the second episode any better? (It's worth watching BSG just to see Mark Sheppard not play Badger. He's still a bit slimy, but they actually give the character motivation and backstory and stuff.)

[firstgold.livejournal.com]

I think so. Have you watched the first episode? In the second, they get into the active-handler relationship, and there's some neat stuff that goes on with that.

Even if they did go the "A Most Dangerous" game route with the main plot. WTF Joss?

[naturelf.livejournal.com]

No, not yet. The premise really doesn't interest me. Unfortunate, but true. I'm going to need to hear that it's fabulous before getting into it. This coming month I just don't have time for meh television.

[firstgold.livejournal.com]

*nods* I think it could have used a couple of more goes around the revision wheel ... especially for the first episode.

The second episode showed promise though.

[naturelf.livejournal.com]

I've heard the third episode is Le Crap, so I think I'll be staying away from this one for now. Possibly for ever, alas.

[firstgold.livejournal.com]

The logic in that episode was definitely lacking. It was like ... of the extreme makes-no-sense variety.

Have you seen this Penny Arcade (http://www.penny-arcade.com/comic/2009/2/27/) comic? Sums up my thoughts pretty well, I think.

[naturelf.livejournal.com]

Yes, yes I did see the comic. I'm glad that I'm not alone in wandering away with suspicious glances over my shoulder.

[firstgold.livejournal.com]

And yet, I will continue to watch Dollhouse. *sighs*
