Movie reviews: Twilight + Friday the 13th

Twilight: It's a comedy, right? My friend and I just laughed and laughed through the entire movie. At first, it took us a while to understand that it wasn't a horror movie. I kept turning to her to point out all the creepiness until I finally understood. What I thought was creepy was actually supposed to be romantic! All the stalking, being mean to each other, inappropriate behavior and so on was supposed to prove how perfect they were for each other. Obviously.

Not my cup of tea, but I'm clearly not the target audience anyway. However, I suppose it did what it was supposed to, because as much as I thought it was a train wreck, I kinda want to see the next train wreck too. I bet it'll be even more funny. : )


Friday the 13th: Jared Padalecki is an attractive and talented man. However, I was less than impressed with whoever edited the movie. So Jared's hair is probably hard to tame at the best of times, but I really had to draw the line at his amazing self-propelled backpack. It seemed like on every cut between it was someplace different. It's on his shoulder! He's carrying it in front of him! It's on his shoulder! It's on the ground by his bike! He's putting it on his shoulder! Wait, it's on his other shoulder! : )

Despite my love of horror movies, I've never liked the Friday the 13th series so I wasn't expecting much. Stupid, naked teenagers get murdered in horrible ways. Clay looking for his sister added a little bit of heart to otherwise insensible violence.

Christmas in July at spnwriterlounge!

spnwriterlounge is a neat place for supernatural writers of all ships and no ships to hang out together in a community. I haven't been able to participate quite as much as I'd like, but they're doing a fun Christmas in July type theme all month. They've opened up a present community for members who signed up last week at spnxmaspressies.

The posts say that you can leave: drabbles, ficlets, fics, icons, art, best wishes, reviews, words of encouragement. I think I might make a couple of mini-playlists for the pairings that I don't personally write.

Anyway, if you're looking for something to do, I encourage you to head over before July 25th when the comments get unscreened and leave a present for someone. Think of it as the gift that keeps giving as fandom gets refreshed and reinvigorated to write more fic. : )

My goodie box is here asking for Sam/Dean, J2, Dean/OFC, genderbenders, winsisters, wee!cest, happy! stories, kinks and cliches, any rating. To that I would also add that if you've ever wanted to do a tag, sequel, or pov shift to anything I've written, this is your greenlight. Really, anything's good.



Here's a couple of folks from my flist. I thought I looked at the list pretty good, but if I missed you give me a shout. : )

downfall35's post is here asking for Castiel/Dean (top!Dean) and mentioned in a journal post that Jimmy/Dean or Jensen/Misha would be cool too.

winchesterxgirl has been through some hard times lately and her post is here asking for "Sam/Dean J2... and I dont squick easy over the kinky stuff so go your hardest. Schmoop kink whatever. it's all good!!"
