agt_spookyHey.
Monday again, huh? Lovely.
So I posted Jared birthday porn on Saturday. Admittedly, it's not my best offering. [sigh] But my writing-fu has been broken for months, since Jensen's birthday back in March, actually, and I was afraid the Muse had decided to leave me, permanently. So I think I forced it a bit, having decided to write the fic only a few days before Jared's birthday, and it shows. I'd been wanting to write a "Jared and Jensen steal the Impala" fic for a long time, and I figured Jared's bday would be a good excuse as to why the boys stole it. I guess I should've just kept the idea on ice until I could've done a better job with it. :-( And I also hate posting fic on the weekend, because with people out and about during the summer, they don't often check LJ until Monday and don't bother to get caught up on the weekend stuff. Good job having your birthday on a Saturday, Jared! ;-)
So please forgive me for the crappy writing. I'll do better next time, I promise.
Anyway, moving on...
One thing that IS going good for me is the new Supernatural songvid that I'm making for Eastern Media Con. I got all the clips together last weekend, so this weekend I sat down and actually started making the vid. I'm about halfway through and I'm quite pleased with the results. Maybe if all of you are good, I'll post it here in my LJ when I'm finished. :-)
Went and saw Dark Knight after work on Friday and wow...what a totally intense movie. Christian Bale rocks the part yet again, my hometown city of Chicago looked fantastic, Rachel still sucks (why couldn't they find a better actress even the second time around??), Harvey Dent's story was sad and tragic, and The Joker was crazy frightening. Heath Legder, you were a life taken too soon, and this film, and that role, proves it. I don't know if I'll be able to watch this movie as many as the zillion times I've watched Batman Begins, simply because it's really, really dark. I'll have to be in the right mood to watch it, kinda like Brokeback Mountain.
Stopped off at Sports Authority on my way home from the movie because I had a great coupon from their mailing list, and scored me a wicked pair of Nike hightops for only $24.97! Needless to say, I've been wearing them ever since. :-)
I've been emailing with Betsy Morris, the screenwriter for Ten Inch Hero and found out that they've tried several times to get a screening here in Chicago. They actually got in to one of the festivals here, only to have the festival lose part of the venue somehow and ended up having to cancel the entire festival. ARGH! I was SO FREAKING CLOSE to seeing this movie! That was just pain painful to hear.
Ok, well, better get going. Happy Monday, everyone and I hope you had a good weekend.
Any guesses as to what Jensen gave Jared for his birthday? ;-)

Re: It was NOT crappy writing...
Date: 2008-07-24 01:12 am (UTC)Yeah, that's it exactly. The idea was so good in my head but I don't think it translated very well onto paper and I should've just waited a few more days or so, who cares if it wasn't posted exactly on Jared's bday and fixed it up a bit more.
Loved your b-day porn
I'm glad someone did! :-)
Saw "The Dark Knight" and was so freakin' blown away that I saw it again later that day.
Ha! Awesome!
One little quibble: I am not entirely sure about Christian Bale. He's not bad, but somehow he's not entirely Batman for me
It took me a bit, too, after Begins came out. But he's young, raw, Batman, still trying to figure out what he's gotten himself into. Unlike all of the other portrayals where Bruce had been Batman for a long time. So it's an entirely different feel to the character.
Val Kilmer was interesting, but a bit too young
Dude! Kilmer rocked the part! Until Christian came along, Val was my hands down favorite. :-)
It's a comic book for grown-ups
That's it exactly. Comic book movies don't have to be silly.
Aaron Eckhart was wonderful and, for most of the movie anyhow, pretty freakin' gorgeous
I thought he was so fabulous as Harvey and it broke my heart, seeing him turn into Two Face.
Really nice that Chicago was Gotham City--I don't think Chicago has been used as well as a movie set since The Untouchables,
We looked great, didn't we? :-) Chicago needs to be used more often! We're quite photogenic. *g*
If "Brokeback" showed that he was more than a pretty face, DK would have put the final nail in the coffin, if he'd lived. What a turn his career would have made
Amen, sister. At least his last work was a high note for his career. He'll be greatly missed.
