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.

Episode 1.08

This is one of my favorite episodes containing some fabulous and awful moments between Leoben and Starbuck. Leoben is such an awesome character and that electric chemistry he and Starbuck have is ridiculous. I might very well be the only shipper of these two, but I can’t help it. I’m all for actors having chemistry with one another and these two get me every time even though it’s not a lovey dovey kind of pairing.

“It’s a very clever machine. Manipulative, cunning. The o­nly problem with Leoben isn’t that he lies, that’d be too easy. It’s that he mixes lies with truth. Just remember, he’s gonna try to get into your head. “

This is the beginning of a shiny and very lengthy set of BSG S1 picspams. I know only a couple of you watch the show, so this is really kind of for those of you who don’t watch it. I’ve tried to avoid super majory spoilers, but there are some because some of my favorite characters are part of certain storylines and I wanted to include them because I love them so.

These are going to be episode by episode and then paired down by character and/or ‘ship, so they won’t all be 100% in order, but you’ll still be able to follow along.

This post only contains images from the miniseries. Additional episodes to follow. Enjoy!

Whoo hoo! Chuck in 3D in 5 minutes. Can’t wait!

I went to see My Bloody Valentine 3D two more times this past weekend. That makes 4 viewings and it just gets better each time. Aidan was super happy to finally see it in 3D, though a few of the scenes freaked him out a little because of the things that come hurtling towards the screen.

They showed the trailer for The Last House on the Left before MBV and it looks really, really good. Even though the cast is fantastic, I’ve ready some good reviews and this one is apparently very restrained when compared to its original counterpart, I’m pretty certain that I won’t be able to watch it in theaters or on DVD. Well, maybe on DVD if I turn the sound off and fast forward through the rape with my eyes closed, but otherwise I won’t be able to handle it. I just don’t handle rape scenes well at all and seeing Garret Dillahunt attack poor little Sara Paxton will probably scar me for life. I love him as Cromartie and have enjoyed the few other things I’ve seen him in, but I’m pretty certain that I wouldn’t be able to look at him the same after seeing him in such a role. *shudders* I’ve never been able to see the original because of all the things I’ve read about it. It sounds like one of the most sadistic films ever and that it is simply sadistic for the sake of being sadistic and that isn’t my cup of tea.

On a lighter note, I’m still thoroughly enjoying S2 of Mad Men. Someone needs to get on the ball and make shiny and frequently updated Christina Hendricks and Jon Hamm fansites for me to visit because I need to ogle the pretty. I would do it myself, but I have no time and no desire to start any new sites.

I’m finally all caught up on BSG and it’s still one of the bestest shows ever. Leoben and Starbuck should have a scene in every episode and they should also have lots of hot Cylon sex and make babies. I know most people are Lee/Kara shippers, but no one has more chemistry with her than Leoben does. Not even Sam and we all know how crazy hot Michael Trucco is, right? Callum and Katee just have that thing that pops off the screen and I was immediately on board for what would never be from the the very first scene they shared together. Good stuff, people! You should totally watch even if you don’t think you’ll be into it because it’s Sci Fi because it’s a really fantabulous show with an even more fantabulous cast.
