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.

I just thought I’d toss in a random post in the midst of all of my Chuck-spams, which have been super fun to post. Speaking of Chuck, I really missed him on Gossip Girl last night. I prefer Chuck-filled episodes to Chuck-less episodes. Blair looked really pretty last night though and I typically can’t stand her unless she’s in a scene with Chuck in some capacity.

Who else squealed with delight at the new Twilight teaser trailer? Rob looks and sounds amazing. And he and Kristen look awesome together. I’m so excited about the movie!!!

I picked up The Vampire Diaries (Vol. 1 – The Awakening and The Struggle; Vol. 2 – The Fury and Dark Reunion) over the weekend and started reading the first story last night and so far I am enjoying it. Once I finish these books, I’ll shift my focus back to City of Ashes.

Since I’ve been depressed for a while and reading practically non-stop, I’ve found that I haven’t really felt like working on my sites much, which I don’t consider to be a bad thing. I’ve put both Charlie and Rebecca on hold for the time being, and I’m thinking of closing my ITC screencap/scan gallery and just having zip files available of caps instead. Not that many people visit the gallery anyway and after the last round of upgrades due to hackers (OMG how they suck arse), the less coppermines to upgrade, the better.

I’ve moved all of my icons here and have added a few new ones (Asia x1, Heather x1, Mia x 5, Samaire x1 and Broken English x2) if anyone is interested. I will also have some Chuck ones available soon.

I think that’s all the randomness I have for now. More Chuck-spams to be added tonight. :D

dude, you gotta give her the sweetness

James Roday is awesomeness personified. His portrayal of Shawn Spencer is the greatest ever.

I’m completely obsessed with the Twilight series by Stephenie Meyer and the upcoming film as well.

I just finished reading The Mortal Instruments: City of Bones and really enjoyed it for the most part. I only have 1 major complaint with the book and that was the outcome of a particular relationship near the end. I just feel cheated out of what it should have been, but I will get over it soon enough. I started the 2nd book, The Mortal Instruments: City of Ashes, last night and am enjoying it thus far. Here’s to hoping the author doesn’t throw more curve balls at me! ;)

I’ve been bitten by the Gossip Girl bug. It’s not what I’d call a “good” show that everyone and their mother must watch, but it’s incredibly entertaining in a turn your brain off for 45 minutes kind of way. The entire cast is really, really pretty too and that never hurts. Love me some Penn Badgley! He’s just so adorable and I have seen him in other stuff, so it’s not just this show that makes me think he’s adorable. I also have an odd fascination with Chuck or rather Ed Westwick’s portrayal of Chuck. He’s such a creepy slimeball character, but Ed manages to give him a little soul and make him kind of hot at the same time. Ed has the best smarmy facial expressions and his American accent is dead sexy. The one thing I don’t dig about Chuck is his clothing. It’s really awful and a bit too Peeps-colored for my taste. I shall picspam you all later with his hotness and terrible fashion. ;)

Doodle dee doo

I finally saw 300 the other day and I wasn’t terribly impressed. Aside from the insanely hot male specimens the film had to offer, there wasn’t a whole lot else that I enjoyed because everything looked sooooo CGI. Yes, I knew the whole film was done in CGI, but I didn’t expect the finished product to look entirely fake. The blood looked fake, the dead bodies and flying severed heads and limbs looked totally fake. And was that really Rodrigo Santoro who played Xerxes? If so, they did an excellent job of taking away all that makes him attractive and instead turned him into a totally laughable and non-scary character complete with cheesy-fake-deep-throaty-menacing-voice and all. I think they must have been trying for a more manly version of Jaye Davidson‘s character, Ra, in Stargate, but failed miserably. I also didn’t see anything super special about Lena Headey and I really expected to with all the hoopla surrounding the film and her in general. No offense to her fans, I just didn’t see anything special about her acting abilities. She is pretty, but not quite my cup of tea. And what accent was my beloved Gerry attempting to use? It was bad whatever it was. I don’t mean to nitpick it to death because I know most everyone thought it was a cinematic masterpiece, but I just didn’t see what everyone else saw.

I also watched Zodiac and aside from the excellent acting and stellar cast, I didn’t enjoy it all that much either. My most petty complaint is that of Anthony Edward’s hairpiece. Why??? He’s been mostly bald for forever and I always kind of dug him mostly bald and they had to cover up his glorious mostly baldness with an ugly unnatural hairpiece. Not cool.

The second season of Kyle XY is almost over. I am going to miss it.

Yay for the new season of Dexter starting soon!

If you aren’t watching Psych, then you’re missing out on some major funny. I did a little screencapping the other day of one of my favorite episodes, Shawn vs. The Red Phantom, so go forth and behold the pretty! Picspam coming soon…

I also made a few new Charlize icons the other day, so if you haven’t already seen them at CTC, they are also in the gallery.

Yes, that is all the randomness I have for now. You may now return to your regularly scheduled programs.
