When fic writers turn Dean into Deanna, how do you pronounce the name: deen-a or dee-anna?
You know me! I'm like, "Go school! It's your birthday!" Or something to that effect.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I have a (shit...had...she's dead...I just bummed myself out...) cousin Deanne pronounced dee-anne. So I've been assuming the analogue. How was his grandmother's name pronounced?

I can't remember. I'd have to watch that episode again.
Deanna doesn't look like dee-na to me, because I know people who've spelled it Deena, I guess. I see that a and I want to make it dee-anna.

If there's one n, I read Dean-a, if there's two, I read De-anna. I think Grams was DeaNNa.

I'm usually too busy racing for the back button to try pronouncing the name.

You don't like stories with Grandma Campbell? What did she do to you?
I can't help but think that stories with 155 chapters are broken. Like--you don't need 155 chapters to tell your story. You're doing it wrong. Please stop immediately.
No, I have no idea why it never piqued my interest back when it was a widdle babby story.

Oh, Jensen. I just caught the end of My Bloody Valentine on SyFy, and god is it bad.
And yet! Still better than Stonehenge Apocalypse.

Stonehenge Apocalypse knows it's bad. I don't feel like My Bloody Valentine was rolling around in its own cheese the same way. I mean, you don't feel bad for Misha, do you? He just walked in off the road in his street clothes and intoned "IT WAS A ROBOT HEAD".
Here's a piece of trivia for you--this movie meant that Misha has acted with two of Colin's girlfriends, and one of Colin's brother's girlfriends. That's statistically...something, right?

The difference, for me, is that I'm sure *Misha* embraced the cheese and enjoyed the hell out of getting paid for it. Jensen, probably not so much. And no, MBV didn't get its own B-movie badness in the same way, sadly.
I think Jared's remake of Friday the 13th had a great sense of humor, but it also ended up being genuinely scarier than MBV, at least for gore and startle scares.
And then there was Jared on a motorcycle. Happy sigh.
