Take a right at Winchester Drive

I really have nothing to post about today (besides the fact that I'm running around like a chicken with my head cut off trying to get last minute details taken care of for my Colorado trip) so instead I'll just share this picture I took of a street sign near me that I came across.

Neat, eh? :-)




What about you guys? Ever come across a street sign that reminded you of Supernatural or any of your favorite fandoms? If you've got a pic of it, share it in the comments!

Have a great day, guys. :-)

More praise for Jensen in Under the Red Hood

ComicBookMovie.com has an interview up with Andrea Romano, about the Under the Red Hood animated movie that Jensen did. Here's what the voiceover director had to say about Jensen:

QUESTION: How did Jensen Ackles perform in his maiden voyage in animation?

ANDREA ROMANO: When you get a first-timer in the booth, there are often risks involved, particularly in understanding the techniques involved in working with the microphone. Jensen picked it up so quickly and was so effective in this very difficult role. Red Hood is written as such an embittered, angry, verging-on-insane character, and it can so easily be overplayed. But Jensen found just the right level of energy and flair. I loved his acting. His quality was dead-on, and he really offers a perfect balance with Bruce (Greenwood).

As a director, you live the emotions with the actor. There’s one scene where Jensen has to let his emotions completely bubble to the surface. I had to work really hard to see my script through the tears that I was crying with him as he let his emotions come through.

Go, Jensen!! I really can't wait for this movie!

CW does it's first ever Emmy "campaign"

Thanks to daniel_shadow for the heads-up on this...

From DeadlineHollywood.com:

OMFG, the CW is doing its first ever Emmy campaign.

Well actually it's not a full-blown Emmy campaign but a splashy insert in the upcoming Emmy magazine that will raise eyebrows Because it borrows from CW's racy 2008 “OMFG” marketing campaign for Gossip Girl for its campaign slogan: “OMFG FYC.” The brochure, a brainchild of  Warner Bros. TV Group’s chief marketing officer Lisa Gregorian, also includes a DVD with promo trailers for Vampire Diaries, Gossip Girl, Smallville and Supernatural cut specifically for the Emmy stint.

CW, as well as predecessor the WB, have never been Emmy darlings, with all of their shows, including critically praised Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Gilmore Girls and Everwood, consistently shut out. “Historically, shows that are targeted to that (younger) demographic are often times overlooked,” Gregorian said. “What we are trying to say to Emmy voters is: don’t not consider these unique and innovative shows because the audience they are produced for is younger. We think it’s great quality TV, and good TV deserves to be recognized.”

In their maiden Emmy promotion for the CW, the marketing team was looking to be provocative. Playing off the network's image of a place where all characters are young and pretty, they considered another Emmy campaign slogan: “Beautiful people deserve Emmys too,” before settling on OMFG.

Well, CW will certainly get the attention of Emmy voters who open Emmy magazine. And if they don’t quite appreciate the ad and the promos, their teen kids or grandkids probably will.

While I'm glad that the CW finally is trying to actively promote their shows and actors for Emmy consideration, I'm really not too keen on this OMFG campaign. With the four shows CW chose to include in this, they pick the juvenile Gossip Girl, the lowest rated of all four of the shows to base the Emmy campaign on?? What are they thinking??

This isn't the kind of attention I want SPN to get surrounding the Emmy's. I would've much rather they chose to have gone with the "Beautiful People" idea instead. Because there's no denying Jensen and Jared are beautiful people. :-)

They should've hired the ad campaign people that Living did over in the UK for SPN. Now those people know what they're doing!
