Where’d you get that juice box and does it come in grapealicious?

Friday the 13th was sooo much fun! I’m so glad we got to see it in a packed theater because it made it that much more fun. The booming laughter, the clapping and cheering probably wouldn’t have happened in a less crowded place. This Jason actually scared me and that hasn’t happened since I was a kid. The old movies scared me when I was young, but as an adult, I was mostly just cheering him on as he bumped off the obnoxious teens and then the films just started being stupid and I stopped caring about them in any capacity. I liked seeing a little bit of a person in Jason this time. I also liked a few of the kids and was kinda hoping they might make it. There wasn’t as much sex and boobies as I’d anticipated, but there was certainly enough. My 2 favorite kills were the sleeping bag and truck and I actually cheered at the truck death because I was so freaking ready for that character to be gone. Padalecki did a great job and I’m not so sure he could have pulled it off a few years ago. I’ve never thought that he was a bad actor at all, but he’s really turned up the heat in his acting over the past few years on Supernatural and I think that helped him out a lot. I’m also glad that it’s another horror film, like MBV, that was made by horror movie fans for horror movie fans. I personally feel that they did a really fantastic job of paying tribute to the originals without tainting them. A definite thumbs up from me and I will most certainly go see it again.

In TV news, Psych was a freaking blast this week. It paid tribute to Friday the 13th and April Fool’s Day and I loved every minute of it.

TTSCC made me cry repeatedly. I still don’t really care for Lena Headey, but her moments with the doctor and with a certain someone I can’t really name for the sake of not spoiling those who haven’t seen it yet really got to me. Aside from her part of the story, the only other things that interested me in this episode were the stuff with John Henry (Garret Dillahunt rocks all!) and Shirley Manson’s scenes. Very interesting. Can someone please kill off that gross Jesse girl already? Pretty please? I can’t stand her.

BSG was awesome this week! I hate that this is the last season of the show.

I also watched the premiere of Dollhouse and really enjoyed it. Unfortunately for it, it’s in the timeslot of doom and will certainly be axed in no time. I love the cast and think it’s a nifty concept and would love to see how everything plays out, but I don’t think it’ll survive because it’s not one of those shows that will be embraced by the general public and it’s not quite culty enough to be like Angel or Buffy. Stinks too because I see some potential there.

another new look

I’ve recently become obsessed with Mad Men (thanks Riikka!) and decided to spruce things up with a shiny new Joan-inspired look last week. It’s simple yet cute like the Brooke theme, but way more girlie.

Aidan and I went to see Underworld: Rise of the Lycans last night and loved it! I loved the first one, but hated the second and that made me a little worried about what they might do with this one since it focused on my favorite character, Lucian. They did him justice though and I adore him now more than ever. Well, I would adore Michael Sheen in a shaving cream commercial, but that’s beside the point. Hahaha! Seriously though, he’s the perfect Lucian. He gives the character heart and really makes you feel for him and I just don’t think the character would be same if another actor was behind the portrayal. On an unrelated Michael Sheen/Lucian note, it was very cool to see how Raze became a Lycan. I didn’t care much for him in the first film because he just seemed like the mean muscle of the Lycan clan, but in this one he’s got much more going on and I really dug his relationship with Lucian. Very cool indeed. I’m a total Lucian/Sonja shipper now too. I loved them together. Such a tragic love story.

I watched My Bloody Valentine 3D twice last weekend (once in 3D and once digital) and can’t wait to see it again. It’s so much fun and was totally made for people like me and Mycah. I love it when directors and writers get things right and actually create something for themselves and the audience. So many horror movies miss the mark when they try to be too serious, too funny, too smart, too gory for the sheer hell of it and the list goes on and on. I much prefer horror and semi-horror films that you can just go and have a good time watching and this is definitely one of those films.

Aidan and I are now anxiously awaiting the new Friday the 13th. I hope it’s as much fun as it looks like it’s going to be.

How awesome was last week’s Lost? So awesome! I am so excited about this season!

And the sun will set for you

Hello all! I didn’t really disappear so much as I’ve been super busy with work and various projects and was out of town for a week visiting the kiddo. Now to play catch up…

I have new hair! It’s now a lovely rich chocolate brown. I’ll try and post pics soon.

The new Linkin Park albums is most excellent. I’m currently obsessed with ‘Bleed it Out’ and ‘Shadow of the Day’ (sooooo good!) Ryan Adams new album, Easy Tiger, is also filled with much awesomeness.

jonathan-togo.com is now open, so go forth and pimp it. It’s not 100% complete, but will be soon. Yes, I do realize that I don’t really need another site, but there weren’t any really good resources out there on him and he rocks, so I couldn’t help myself.

I finally found Season 2 of Special Unit 2, so yay to that! I was getting kind of tired of looking around for it.

Can anyone explain the “CaRWash” ‘ship name for Calleigh and Ryan on CSI: Miami? I just don’t get it. I know where “Ca” and “RW” come into play, but not the “ash” part. It doesn’t make any sense. I don’t really like fused names anyway, except for LoVe because its cute and Logan and Veronica rocked.

The Beckhams scare me. I know their shoot for W Magazine is supposed to be H-O-T but I think the pics are more skanky and creepy than sexy. David actually looks more alien-like than Victoria now. *shudders*

I watched Behind the Mask: The Rise of Leslie Vernon over the weekend and LOVED it. It was just so much fun and very different from the typical “slasher” flick. The lead actor, Nathan Baesel, was wonderful. He has an incredibly natural talent, which is something that I love, love, love to see on film. This is the first thing I’ve ever seen him in and I’m definitely looking forward to seeing him in more stuff.

I love my new dental piece! For those of you not in the know, I have a really bad habit of clenching my teeth together pretty much 24-7 and have cracked a couple of my back teeth because I’ve been doing it for so many years, so my dentist (Dr. Steve Martin-seriously) suggested I get a “night guard” made. I’m so glad that I finally broke down and got one made even though my wallet is now somewhat unhappy and it’s not the prettiest thing ever and I can’t really speak properly with it in, but it’s helping a lot and that’s all that really matters.

New layout!

As you can see, there’s a new layout up created by the lovely Nat. This one features one of my all time favorite TV couples, Brett and Becky of McLeod’s Daughters. They are the cutest and sweetest couple and their first kiss (featured in the smaller pics in the little film strip) is one of the most beautiful kisses ever! OK, maybe I feel so strongly about it because I live in a little Fletcher Humphrys love-filled bubble, but it really is super sweet and has a “real” feeling as opposed to what you typically see in TV couples. If you haven’t discovered the McLeod’s Daughters love yet, you should definitely check it out. Good stuff!

Edit: I found a little Brett & Becky music video on YouTube, so I had to post it (Warning: It contains spoilers for the end of Fletcher’s role on McLeod’s). Click below to view.
