silentdescantI think I mentioned the one-day film challenge (Crash Cinema) in my last post? Well, I did that. The film we made in 8(ish) hours came out kind of ridiculous but not terrible. Hopefully amusing. It was for the theme of Argo (that new Ben Affleck movie), and we had to incorporate a bunch of stuff into it. Anyway, I went to the press screening of Argo on Monday and LOVED it, and our short film is showing before the premiere of Argo tonight, so I'm going to see it again! This time with the whole red carpet dealio (lol). I might come back with more thoughts later, but for now I'll just say that I really enjoyed the movie, and that it was very tense at times but surprisingly hilarious at times too. Definitely not a "funny" movie, but lighthearted enough to break up the crazy tension and time pressure. Really good, though; I recommend it.
Last night, I watched Devour. Purely because of Jensen. (The things I do for him...) Reactions: 1) LOL 2) no really, LOL, what is that thing? 3) there is some terrible acting going on here 4) holy god, Jensen is pretty 5) he just can't escape the hell, devil, possession, psychopath shit, can he? Okay, honestly, it wasn't as terrible as I was expecting it to be, but I had some pretttttty low expectations. Jensen was about the only good thing in it, and I'm glad he was the star because if he'd only shown up in a couple of scenes, I don't know that I could've gotten through it. I loved all his little bb psychopath moments. Had to hide my eyes when he was cutting off his tongue, though. D: I came out of that movie just wanting someone to edit together that footage with SPN footage to make a video about young!Dean. It fits pretty well, right?
I've seen New York Minute (ridiculous, but I grew up watching Mary Kate & Ashley movies, so that wasn't as terrible as I thought it would be), so next up is Christmas Cottage. I will admit, I don't have high hopes. lol sorry, Jared, it just doesn't look like my type of movie. I do like Thomas Kinkade in real life, though. I will give it a shot.
How awesome was SPN 8.02, btw? FUCKING AWESOME. Can't wait for the next one. Is it Wednesday yet?
Other things: I keep calling the job to find out the schedule for my training and they keep not calling me back. UGH, I WANT TO START ALREADY. Hopefully I'm about to pick up another job, though: teaching kids robotics like I did this summer, except year-round. Yay? Yay money and robots, at least. And finally, I'm trying to get back in the habit of checking my f-list and posting here, so keep on top of me to do that. In the meantime, you know where to find me (on twitter. always. constantly. forever.). Oh, I'm writing a bit more too. Trying to finish a kink_bingo fic that keeps growing. Hopefully I can wrap that up soon. And who's excited for NaNoWriMo? I think I'm settling on an idea, now I just want to START it. \o/

Date: 2012-10-13 05:03 am (UTC)I wonder if Devour is on Netflix...
OH so since you are my twin, I figure the answer is probably yes, but did you read those Mary-Kate and Ashley books, too? By the time I was kinda into them the books were pretty scant but I know I owned a few. They had those postcard things in 'em...
HOW ARE WE BOTH GOING TO BE WORKING WITH CHILDREN. lol.
NaNoWriMo stands for National Not Writing Month, right??

Date: 2012-10-13 06:25 am (UTC)Devour is sadly not on netflix but I was able to get it pretty quick from here (https://thepiratebay.se/torrent/4403087/Devour.2005.DVDRip-Morsan(SweSub)). It has subtitles, but that's okay. It's worth watching just for Jensen's face (http://spn-party.livejournal.com/85404.html?thread=10099356#t10099356).
OMG I REMEMBER THE LITTLE POSTCARD THINGS, YESSSSS. And I remember watching those little detective movies they did when they were little. Maybe we are long lost Olsen twins...
FUCKING CHILDREN. How old are yours gonna be? I think I'm gonna be working with like, 6-8. D: Hopefully not all boys this time.
lol you should do... what is it, WriSoMiFu? Write Something, You Miserable Fuck!
