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.
I feel MBV did have some payoffs, though. I will always appreciate:
I mean, this is a net positive for the world, and Supernatural didn't seem to be picking up the precise slack. Although Skin was a brave attempt on many fronts.
Oh, don't get me wrong, I still watch MBV all the time. Because, you know, JENSEN.
But his portrayal of Tom was sort of angsty psychotic Dean in Sam's hoodie.
Warm cherry pie:
Wow, Jensen's adam's apple really works in the closeup .gif of him with the big eyes. Is Jared's that noticeable? I can't remember.
I thought MBV was absolutely a narrative cheat, FWIW. First off, promo art like the first I linked kinda spells it out, and mysteries that go back and show you that you literally did not see what they'd originally shown you--I think that's cheap and clumsy.
That's what I hate about it -- the ending is pure suck. I think
Devour's
ending might make more sense.
I remember forgetting the ending to Devour, and I'm pretty good with that. I knew the ending before I watched it, and then watching it erased it from my brain.
