exsequarFirst of all, there's a brand new Supernatural promo circulating (ANOTHER ONE! I love how much they're pushing our show! *beams*) and it's heartstopping. You can download it here. It's really just - so intense, and a bit shocking, and there are some truly gorgeous shots in there. And it's all done in black and white, which is beautiful. It feels, to use ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-syndicated.gif)
txtequilanights's word for it, gothic. Takes my breath away. And they use the shot of Sam seeing Jess in Bloody Mary, which just brings back a rush of S1 nostalgia and emotionality, and also makes me hope that they're going to explain just WHY he saw her then. Because it was just kind of left as one of those unexplained moments, you know? Ooh, and the promo uses a Johnny Cash song which is so haunting and gorgeous. Mmmm.
Wow, I don't think I can wait 9 more days! *vibrates*
Secondly, I saw The Departed today - FINALLY! It was, for lack of a better word, AMAZING. I was just so swept away by it. Everything was fantastic - the directing, the acting, the cinematography, the writing.... just, wow! The cast, obviously, was phenomenal - Leo and Mark Wahlberg particularly blew me away. And not just because they were ridiculously pretty :D The movie rivals Boondock Saints in its profanity (in fact, according to IMDB, The Departed uses "fuck" only 9 times less than Boondock Saints - hee! the totals are 237 and 246, if you're curious ;)) and is ALSO set in Boston, and deals with the Irish crime syndicate. It's intricate and gritty and fascinating and surprising and the end will blow your SOCKS off. Seriously. So, so fabulous - everyone go see it! If you don't mind blood and swearing! :P Uh, and also if you can find a theater still playing it! (I saw it at a tiny theater where the tickets were only $3 and there were no previews - SO AWESOME) If not, rent/buy it when it comes out on DVD! You won't regret it :D
