I still haven't watched Devour.

What I've seen of him on Dawson's and Smallville is fine, if not especially inspired (although he did do one really lovely scene with Michelle Williams). I felt the same way about My Bloody Valentine -- there's just not a lot of there there.

I think he was sweet and just right for his role in Ten Inch Hero. In Blonde he was beautiful and sensual and a little scenery-chewing in one or two spots, but he was also really young. (And way taller than Patrick Dempsey.)

I'd just love to see him sink his teeth into something else with as much meat as Dean provides. Something well written and dramatic. Like, if he could have played the Christian Bale role in the remake of 3:10 to Yuma, I think (hope) he would have been remarkable.

oooo...that would have been good. I'm dying to see him do a western though.

DON'T. FOR THE LOVE OF ALL THAT IS GOOD, LEARN FROM OTHERS' MISTAKES.

Where is the fun in that?

I posted about chasing down the Ackles oeuvre on another board (and really, I'm lax at his movies) and a couple other fangirls chimed in with their own disappointments. Man, what a waste of good talent.

Luckily, I don't remember much about Devour, except for the incredible feeling of deja vu I got watching it.

I do need to work out how to see Ten Inch Hero. Netflix gives me no joy.

I might be able to help with that. I will check when I get home.

I can get it to you, too, ita.

Ooh, that would be great if either of you could help.

chasing down the Ackles oeuvre

I've just accepted that he's a damn good actor who has been in some damn awful things. Ben was fantastic. Alec was awesome. And Eddie G (in Blonde) well, there was the kimono dance. The rest can mostly just be pretended that they don't exist for me.

The kimono dance makes up for many things. As does some of the fic that resulted from it.

ita, insent.
