MBV. I went. I saw. I would go again. I just might...

[ht_murray]

So, I dragged hubby out to the movie. It didn't cost me the 12 bucks it cost Tracer, though I would've paid that for my boy any day. I think I shall write my theatre and email and tell 'em they're gypping my baby out of his due numbers. lol.



I was spoiled going in. Yes. Yes, I was, and kicking myself for it, too, because I sooo didn't want to know, and to be honest, I considered not going. But when else will I get to see Jensen in 3-D? And when will there a be a movie my hubby and I can both agree on seeing. (He saw the trailer for Twilight and thought he'd like to see that... I'm just saying.) Slasher films we can both watch. Did I ever mention that when I met him he had like three bookshelves full of slasher films? And not the kind you buy a the store. Oh no, the kind you buy a blank tape and tape four movies a piece on. I swear, there are over a thousand, easy. And he can tell you where every gory scene is and the exact second to pause the VCR to get the best visual.

So, yeah, this was right up his alley.

I was afraid I wasn't going to get to see it in 3-D, because I knew this theater had 3-D capability, but every listing I saw for the movie only said, My Bloody Valentine, not MBV 3-D. We went anyway, and I've never been happier to pay a 2.00 upcharge. *nods*

The movie itself was exactly what it was supposed to be a campy, gory, slasher movie. So, of course, hubby was in Heaven.

Me?

Has anyone else noticed that 3-D seems to add a twinkle effect to everyone's eyes? Cuz I could not stop staring at Jensen's eyes. Good lord, if he's pretty on my flat screen, and in person, he's absolutely stunning in 3-D with the twinkling eyes of glee. I want his twinkly 3-D eyes on every icon I ever use. I'm just saying. Someone needs to figure out how to do 3-D web graphics, cuz I'm so there.

The answer to your question unplugged32 is... No. I couldn't tell. There just weren't enough shots in good enough light to be able to tell if those were actually Jensen's legs in the miner costume. The pants were kinda baggy anyway. But I did ogle really hard, and nope, couldn't say. ETA: I've been told it's pretty obvious when he's chasing Sarah through the mine, but to be honest, by then I was more worried about whether she hurt his face when she whacked him running out of the house. LOL. So, I guess it was visible at some point, but I completely missed it. Will have to watch again. For shame.

So, um, no big surprise twist for me, because like I said, I was totally spoiled for the ending. I thought I would hate it, but when it came time, all I could think was, "The rat bastards deserved everything they got." I actually called the Sheriff dude a cheating rat bastard in the theatre. That was the storyline I hated most, that Sarah said "I love you," at the end to that cheating bastard. He so didn't have me convinced he gave a rat's ass. He was a total sleaze who was just relieved his mistress bit it before he had to pay for the abortion, and I hope he doesn't make it through surgery. LOL. Everyone in that town was skeezy. I think they went out of their way not to show more than the one innocent kid in the whole thing.

I read where someone was wondering why Jensen always gets to play the crazy but not the maniacal. I dunno, but that scene of him stomping through the mine with the pickaxe and taking out the light bulbs one at a time totally smacked of The Shining to me. Is it bad that I was like "Go, baby, go!" LOL.

He totally owned the role. I can't say enough good things about him, but you all expect me to gush anyway, so I won't. Just know that I thought he was gushworthy in every possible connotation. *nods*

I have to say, we caught a matinee, so the theatre wasn't overly packed. We didn't get that contagious mob atmosphere that I'm sure would've been awesome, but we did get quite a good earful of the people behind us. There was a group of young guys, probably just old enough to get in, and they were all like, "I don't even know what this movie's about. It's all about the 3-D. Gotta see this." And then when the housekeeper bought it, they were all like "And the Law right in front 'the house." Several, "dumbass!"-es later, they were like, "yeah, you go after yo baby mama," as Axel went down the alley looking for Megan or whatever her name was. It was really amusing. Oh yeah, and when the part came where we were supposed to put our glasses on for the first time and they threw some effects at us, the group behind us was like, "oh yeah, now that's the bidness right there."

Ohhhh, it was just so amusing, because all my talk about Jensen and this movie has been with fangirls, and to hear this completely new and non-fangirly take on things. Well, it kinda made me really glad I sucked up the change and went out to see it. We get so clouded in our perspective sometimes just watching the show. I'd definitely go see it again. Dan's already suggesting we pick up some of his friends and go next weekend. That makes me all kinds of happy.

Saw a couple good trailers while I was in the theatre. The Last House on the Left looked freaky as hell. I saw Jared's trailer, too, but only could recognize him in about two of the shots. I guess they're promoting that one mostly on the franchise and the Jason name.

Anyway, it's good to see both our boys working and getting their faces out there in front of non-fandom types. I don't care what your flavor is, if you've been watching Supernatural, then you can stand to go see this movie and pay homage to the boy who dragged me here kicking and screaming and won't let me go. LOL. If nothing else, go for the twinkly eyes. I wouldn't lie to you. And if you love slasher flicks, there's nothing not to love with this one. I've seen plenty, and they're not even really my thing, but I can certainly respect it for what it is. So, yes, go. And then go again. And save your 3-D glasses... cuz they're dope.

YAY bb, so glad you liked it!

I'm happy for Jensen. The flick has got like 70% average at Rotten Tomatoes, and that's pretty huge for that site!

:D

[angels3.livejournal.com]

That scene you speak of with him stomping through the mine smashing the lights....... yeah just should NOT turn me on the way it did.

Oh and they all deserved it. They left him. Left him right there with the murdering psycho and then everyone was such an ass to him for a mistake. One that didn't even kill the miners cause psycho took care of that for him. Sure they may have died anyway but still.

Axel was a douche and he deserved to get lockjaw from a rusty instrument and well that kid didn't look ten but he had blonde hair and neither Axel or Sarah did damn it..... hint hint.

[punklegolas.livejournal.com]

I was definitely cheering on Jensen in the end... *evil smirk*

And when he was knocking out all the lights in the mine? *shivers* LOVE IT.

Plus, that man is GORGEOUS in 3D. I mean he is always gorgeous but WOW. :P

[tru-faith-lost.livejournal.com]

I deed! I deed liked it! That's the second or third time I've heard of these rotten tomatoes, lol. I have no clue, but if you say that's good, then I'll take your word.

Seriously, though, did you notice the twinkly eyes? Maybe I got special glasses. *fondles my glasses*

[maboheme.livejournal.com]

Axel was a douche and he deserved to get lockjaw from a rusty instrument and well that kid didn't look ten but he had blonde hair and neither Axel or Sarah did damn it..... hint hint.

Budding in to say, I was totes thinking the same thing. It has to be Tom's kid. He even looked like a lil Jensen.

[punklegolas.livejournal.com]

and well that kid didn't look ten but he had blonde hair and neither Axel or Sarah did damn it..... hint hint.

I was thinking the same thing....absolutely Jensen's child. No way that kid is Axel's.

[angels3.livejournal.com]

I'm just saying and it was kind of an odd thing for them to show this blonde kid right in the middle of those two in the picture for no real reason.

[angels3.livejournal.com]

He even had the goofy ears bless his heart

[astri13.livejournal.com]

Waaaaah. Everybody gets to see it. That is so unfair. I petition every movie should be released on the same day world-wide. Us European folks always have to wait and wait. *stomps foot*

But I'm glad you liked it and from what I'm reading a lot of other people, too. Yay.

[tru-faith-lost.livejournal.com]

The dude must have either perfect peripheral vision, or the steps measured out exactly, because he did not look at the floor like he was trying to hit a mark when he swung at those lights, and he stopped even looking at the lights when he took them out, just... stomp, smash, stomp, smash, just that alone was amazing. He was totally putting out the lights before bed. Couldn't wait to get his hands on me... rawr. lol.

Haha, the kid spent too much time in the sun, Hahahahaha.

Totally want Tom to go back and blow up the mind so the entire town falls in it like the Hellmouth. And then, ya know, his demons will be defeated, and he'll be all cured and live happily ever after.

So says I.

Jensen did an awesome job in this. The change at the end blew me away. His acting skills keep impressing me more and more, and that's saying something since I thought he was a great actor to begin with.

I'd like to see the movie again now that I know the end, but I probably won't since nobody will go with me, and it was a little uncomfortable being the only woman seeing it the other night.

I got jipped apparently everybody else got the trailer for Jared's movie but me. The Haunting in Connecticut trailer freaked me out more than The Last House on the Left, but that's probably because I've spent a lot of time in old houses in Connecticut.

[maboheme.livejournal.com]

Problem is that I don't see too good in 3D cuz my eyesight is pretty bad, lol. So unfortunately I missed the twinkly eyes and now I'm grumpy about it, lol.

I REALLY WANT TO SEE IT AGAIN, and think I'll go again next week. Sigh. I just...Jensen in 3D being all crazy. So good.

And I was totally on Tom's side...cuz the townsfolk and Sarah and Axel were all douches. What's funny is that in the original the bad guy is Axel and that's a pretty big twist b/c they're making it seem like it's Tom and then boom it's Axel. But I sort of loved that even though it's obvious that it's Tom in this flick and it does end up being Tom it's the logical progression for this movie b/c of the douchiness of the town, lol.

Rotten Tomatoes is basically a site that ranks movies based on official reviews. So they average out all the reviews a movie gets... MBV has gotten like 70% "posititve" reviews, which is pretty huge considering most horror films I've seen lately on that site haven't gotten past like 30%. :D

[tru-faith-lost.livejournal.com]

LOL, in the theatre, when the kid was hiding behind the couch, I totally said, "That's gonna be the killer in the sequel, lol." I never even thought about it being Jensen's kid, but now that would make so much sense. Father-son killing duo.

[maboheme.livejournal.com]

More evidence. I don't got a pic of the kid from the movie, but damn doesn't little Jensen look like that kid?

(http://tinypic.com)

[tru-faith-lost.livejournal.com]

I know! the only ones I felt a little sorry for were the maid and the dude at the end who found him after the explosion. But they were guilty by association. Bwahahahhahaha! All deserved to die. On Tom's behalf, I'm thinking of commissioning a meteorite to smite that town. Hanniger 13.

I couldn't stop ogling the man. It was like... there must have been hypnotic subliminal messages in it, cuz Ugh. My heart is still in fibrilations, lol.

[tru-faith-lost.livejournal.com]

I'm sorry. I know it sucks. I don't know why they can't release it everywhere at the same time. We're not talking about shipping the whole crew overseas. Just some reels of film, right? They're just evol.

But believe me. Jensen is so worth seeing in this. I think I'm having a wee heart attack. *g*

[angels3.livejournal.com]

I have to tell you it gave me a plot bunny that I was telling fiesty someone has to freaking write.

Where Sam and Dean go to where ever the hell that was and meet Tom but it's really a freaking vengefull spirit in the miner suit and they eventually take care of it but not before it goes after Tom lots of time and of course there is the whole why the fuck does he look like you thing going on.

[jane-eyre.livejournal.com]

Axel was a douche and he deserved to get lockjaw from a rusty instrument and well that kid didn't look ten but he had blonde hair and neither Axel or Sarah did damn it..... hint hint.

So I wasn't the only one thinking that. As soon as I saw the picture of the kid I was thinking that's definitely not Axel's son, he had to be Tom's. It also sets up the perfect sequel, Tom comes back for his kid, and to kill Axel and Sarah for keeping the kid hidden from him.

[angels3.livejournal.com]

Oh and yes I know he had like perfect freakin aim and everything. Like I said turned me on.

[tru-faith-lost.livejournal.com]

I forgot about that other movie trailer. I totally thought it was gonna be another Amityville Horror remake when it started out. You're right. That one did look freaky. I probably won't go to see either of them, but i'll remember them when the DVDs come out. Like I said, I only go about once a year. (I'm not even sure I'll go to Friday the 13th, but don't tell anyone).

Jensen continues to amaze me. I just hope someone important, somewhere in a position of power sees him and knows him for the gold he is. He deserves so much.

[angels3.livejournal.com]

Because like leaving him with the psycho killer wasn't bad enough but then you keep his kid from him.

*nods head hard*

[tru-faith-lost.livejournal.com]

Ooh, you should write that. I saw somewhere that there's a crossover bigbang. This would be perfect.

[angels3.livejournal.com]

I know right that's the exact picture that flashed in my head as soon as I saw it and then when they showed him sitting on the couch watching cartoons. I was like omg he's come to get his kid. Notice he didn't go after the boy either did he???? HMMMMMMMMMM

[angels3.livejournal.com]

Also would explain why he never touched the kid.. May have had an idea it was his.

[angels3.livejournal.com]

UM NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

I'm in the middle of two and have three in my head. Just nooooooooo
