WOW, saw Friday the 13th yesterday, TWICE, as Patty mentioned in her lj, lol. Let me explain, hee hee. I had bought us tickets for the 2:50 show at a theater here in San Jose that USED to be nice, but has since become old and decrepit. I didn't realize that since I rarely go to the movies. The screen was small, the picture was even a bit blurry! EGAD! I was so disappointed and annoyed at myself for picking this theater...grrr. So, even though it was AMAZING to see Jared on the big screen, the movie itself seemed murky and not crisp to look at all.
Now, we had planned to go on one of the special Friday the 13th flashlight tours of The Winchester House right afterwards (the house is right next to the theaters) since we thought, oh cool would that be - a spooky tour of the WINCHESTER Mystery House on Friday the 13th, etc. But once the movie was over, we got in my car and at some point we looked at one each other and Patty said something like, 'I can't wait to see it again' and I said, 'let's go to the mall now and see it - the theaters are newer and nice', so we bagged the Mystery House and drove down to the mall near my apartment. Once we found parking - yikes - we got in, bought a ticket for the 6:40 showing (it was on two screens there) and ate some dinner. Then we went in to see it again and MAN, OH MAN, did it make a difference!! The screen was bigger, the image was crystal clear and the sound was even better! WHOO HOO! In fact, as Patty said in her lj, there were some lines of dialogues and brief scenes where we would look at each other and say, 'did we hear this before?', hee hee. But in all honesty, I think that was because in the first viewing we were too much in shock over seeing Jared on the BIG FREAKING SCREEN to concentrate on scenes that he wasn't in ;-)) So, the scenes we sort of zoned out on? Yep, ones without Jared. Hey, I admit it, I'm an unapologetic fangirl ;-) But we did hear everything in the second viewing and when I say 'viewing', can I get shallow here for a minute? OMG, holy crap on a cracker, that boy looked amazing! If Sam looked like that on the show, well, televisions would combust, lol. The jeans, the t-shirt, the hair, the stubble...man, he is a vision ;-))
I am no follower of the F13 movies - in fact, I have never seen one before, but I do know all about them - so I am not going to compare this to the others. I thought it was a lot of fun - humor (Chewy was hilarious!), creative killing, scary, creepy parts, all you want in a slasher flick and it at least had a plot and motivations. The characters weren't cardboard and there was genuine regret and sadness when some of them bought the farm ;-)
After the movie, we got some ice cream at Cold Stone Creamery in the mall (yeah, ice cream when it was freaking freezing outside! Even though we were in San Jose, it does get cold here sometimes ;-), but the ice cream was delicious. Then we came back to my apartment and Patty left to go home.
It was a grand time!!
Oh and I can't forget to mention that we celebrated Christmas late and exchanged gifts and I have to shout this - PATTY GOT ME THE SPN BLANKET WITH THE GORGEOUS PHOTOS OF THE BOYS ON IT!!!!! Holy crap, I love that thing! It is on the back of my couch and I can cuddle in it or just stare at the gorgeous thing. She also got me my favorite scented candle in the world, which is hard to find since the stupid company stopped making them. Patty, you're a star! The gifts are the best ever!! Thank you again, so much ;-))
And now for something completely different but related to F13. The cast did a goth photoshoot and Jared's gallery went up on a webpage. Holy crap...I am loving the eyeliner ;-)
Here's a sample.


P.S. I want to use the sparkle generator here, but the damn thing won't work in my lj! Argh. I used it when responding on Patty's lj, but here it just shows up as a big url.....
Oh well, maybe I need a new style for my journal or something....
