Sooner or later gotta cut you down...

First 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 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

I haven't watched the promo yet, but I will shortly and then I will probably flail like an idiot, but I wanted to say that your posts always make me smile. You're a really positive and wonderful fan and I'm so so glad to have you on my flist. :D

Aww, sweetie! What a kind, awesome thing for you to say! *hugs tightly* I think you are an absolute doll yourself, and I'm so glad we did the friending thing *beams*

It was an awfully good decision on our parts, I think. *g*

Gothic is a great way to describe the new promo. It's so beautiful!

I completely agree with you about "The Departed". It was just so...I don't know, words fail me. I remember sitting in the theater (a little place that was showing it for $3.50) and going, "Okay..." a little while after it started, but halfway through, it hit me like a train and I was so overwhelmed by caring about the characters (LEO!!!). Whoo. Intense. And it has my man Jack in it. God, I love that man. Even if he can only really play one character, I love him to death.
