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!)

Isn't she just adorable? Oh, Parker. And Hardison. And Eliot's hair. And Gina Bellman.

ACK this reminds me I have to burn the show for Christine. Like, ten minutes ago. ACK.

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

I'm okay with a high James Spader quotient.

And dude ... I kept thinking it was Artisan, not Hardison. *face palm*

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

Oh, James Spader. *ruffles his hair, too*

I had to look up the name 'cause I had no idea what they were calling him. BUT WHAT I JUST DISCOVERED IS SCARY: Dean Devlin, director-producer on Leverage is the same Dean Devlin who wrote and produced such films as Stargate, Independence Day and Godzilla. I am... conflicted. There are lots of reasons why those movies are awful. WHY IS LEVERAGE GOOD? Or is it good? Do I have to doubt myself now? ACK.

There is some strange confluence of DW-fanboys/girls in the writing team, an pretty awesome cast, and other unseen forces at work making Leverage good.

Or at least, that's what I'm telling myself.

And he is responsible for bringing us James Spader as Daniel Jackson, which requires some awesome points.

Exactly.

It also explains a few of Eliot's nerdier undercover personas.
