Ha! I have that DVD out from Netflix right now!
I wish the movie had been able to deal a little more overtly with Eddie & Cass' relationship like in the Joyce Carol Oates book. It's implied that the triangle is equilateral, but they aren't really allowed to overtly show it. And thus we are robbed of the sight of Jensen macking on another hot guy.
Got proof that dear architeuthis is still alive and kicking. Unfortunately it was as beta status, and not new fic, but so happy he's still around and in fandom.
I don't know if anybody besides me is at all interested in this sort of detail, but sargraf is back. She did amazing analysis of body language and unspoken communication in S1, but RL blew up for her at the beginning of S2, and she's been mostly off LJ till now. Well, she's back. She starts with Everybody Loves a Clown, and goes to town. Her dissection of In My Time of Dying was masterful, and it's upstream if you want to search for it. But she's not lost a minute of her observational skills, nor her ability to share them.
For what it's worth.
Cool Bev, I will check that out.
Oh dear, real people aren't allowed to make that joke. Just me.
Message from Misha:
Monkeys,
As we have been going through the photos and videos trying to find the team deserving of the title "#1 Greatest Team Of All The Teams In The World Participating In The Greatest International Scavenger Hunt The World Has Ever Seen," we have come across some truly amazing artwork, stunts, and acts of public humilliation. I showed some photos to a friend of mine who has designed exhibitions at many prestigious museums and she said (and I am not making this up), "We have to do an exhibit of this stuff. It's amazing!"
Well, we might do an exhibit, and it is amazing, but in the meantime, we've put together a coffee table book and a bunch of other things to catalogue your collective genius.
After looking at everything you "accomplished," we've been laying awake late at night thinking about all the hard-working GISHWHESHEANS who risked their lives to be smothered in pet hair. To alleiviate our guilt, we're awarding a second individual a trip to Rome - just to be nice, just because we can, just because our recent frontal lobotomies have rendered us incapable of making good business decisions.
So that's one piece of news: Ruth Hammond of West Midlands, UK is the bonus-trip-to-Rome winner. Good work, Ruth. I don't know who you are or whether you deserved it, but your name was picked randomly from a hat, so i hope you are free in late april and don't have any severe wheat allergies.
Now, because it "'tis the season" for recklessness, we are going to give one more person a trip to Rome. Anyone who purchases any item from the GISHWHES Shwag Shwop will automatically be entered in yet-another drawing to join the group in Rome. Consider this an incentive to acquire a little piece of history (and possibly to see yourself in print).

WARNING: THE SHOPPE CLOSES ON JANUARY 7th (forever) and we have limited supplies, so don't come crying to us if you miss out.
Soon it will be December 25th. On that day, the winning team will be announced. In your excitement, please do not forget to leave cookies and milk in a bear trap by the hearth.

Is it scary that when I ran across a thread on another site dream-casting XXX parodies of modern movies or shows, I was able to offer fairly close doppelgangers of the Js for a porn version of Supernatural?
I also suggested that Mark Sheppard reprise his role from the actual show since he guest stars in everything anyway...
