The holiday spirit still going strong

Christmas has come and gone (omgwhut?) and this year is nearly over. It kinda seems unreal since, at least for me, this year went by extremely quick. I guess I've just been that super busy with life that time flew by. I haven't braved the after-Christmas shopping yet, that'll be saved for tomorrow. Eek. Anyway, as the excitement of the holidays took off I missed a few fandom-related things to share with you all.
++ Clip of Misha Collins in an upcoming episode of Nip/Tuck. Kind of NSFW, though really most people on my flist can handle this kind of language, which is hilarious as he says all that with a straight face. Oh, Mish-Mish, you're just feeding my addiction and when you're taking about, um, your peen like that? Yeah. Uh-huh. This isn't inviting the flocking of fangirls at all.someone needs to make an icon of Castiel with text saying "tyrannosaurus prick" or something like that, or write a story with something similar just omgyesplz I of course also say our lovely Misha on an episode of NCIS the other day, still gorgeous even if he was in the episode for like a few scenes.
++ The holiday has passed, but still: Special Christmas Message from the Ghostfacers. Seriously, I love these guys!
++ Recent Twilight wankage. Yeah, I know, what else is new? Apparently it was announced that there's going to be a Filipino version of Twilight turned into a television show, and naturally Twilighters lose their shit. Which includes outbursts of rage and disgust, capslock of lulz, even some racial generalizations added in for good measure, y'know, the stuff that makes them look even more ridiculously batshit than they already are. If you're a fan of the series I'm sorry but, honestly, how this insanity got so out of hand is beyond me and I'm just in this for the shits and giggles. Anyway, is it bad that I'm actually intrigued on what the Filipino version will be like? I mean, I can't be any worse than the original material, in fact it might just make the story a tad more tolerable.
Though what I'm really waiting for: Bollywood Twilight, with Sendhil Ramamurthy in Edward's role. Think about it, he's already dazzling people whenever he goes, it'd be perfect! Now question remains who would be the Bella to his Edward? Mmmm....
++ It also appears that Disney is pulling out of Narnia, which in regards to our fucked up economy has been lately I understand their reasons for it. I know fans of the movies are going to be pissed, as they rightfully should, but many things are being sacrificed because of economical struggles and this business isn't all that easy to maintain with a collapsing economy when worrying about budget issues. That doesn't mean the movie might not be made, Walden Media is going to shop around looking for someone else to partner up with them. It's just not going to be Disney.

Twilighters are just so freaking batshit insane, I don't even know anymore. I just think a Filipino!Twilight will be kinda awesome, in that cheesy kind of way, which is the default of the series anyway so, it fits. Hehe. *is bad* Bollywood!Twilight = pure awesomeness. I would totes watch that without feeling shame. XD

Yeah, budget-wise it'll be a miracle they can pull off Dawn Treader or even The Last Battle, if they ever get to that point, with all the epic stuff they're dealing with. It's interesting because I grew up with not just the books but with the BBC adapation of it, and honestly I was skeptical when they started producing the movies. I don't think they're spectacular or masterpieces but they are nice films.

Date: 2008-12-27 03:52 am (UTC)I want like, a complete Ghostfacers spinoff. Or webisodes, or something. With possibly some cameos from Sam or Dean or, hell, can we have Castiel in the mix? Plz? That would be EPIC UPON EPICNESS! I want Castiel to witness some of the crazier shit the Winchesters have witnessed. XD
I honestly don't know why they would pick Twilight, of all things. But if the Twifans are being bitches about it, I'm more excited for this version to take place. You're right, more ethnicity would be nice, and I'd really would love to see how the adaptation would turn out to be. I'd totes watch it if it's better than the original shit.

Date: 2008-12-27 05:34 am (UTC)I wasn't really that impressed with the first Narnia movie. I haven't read the books and maybe that's a part of the reason why. However, I'm sorry for my friends who enjoyed both movies.
no subject
Date: 2008-12-27 05:42 am (UTC)Heh, I was very cynical because I did read the books. The new movies are alright but nothing to get crazy over, IMO. However it makes me wonder how they'll pull off The Last Battle, if they get around to it that is, because that is the epic of epicness of the series right there. Also, heavier religious allegory than the previous books.

Date: 2008-12-27 04:39 pm (UTC)I still can't listen to the Nip/Tuck clip, it scares me,lol. I can't go from angel to, to this... it makes no sense, it's just a role but seriously, Misha, wow... He is very hot in that clip though, I just don't know if I can watch the ep,lol.
no subject
Date: 2008-12-28 02:11 am (UTC)Awww, haha! It's not really that bad, he just makes whatever he's talking about much more adorable because he's doing that scene so seriously. It makes me giggle. XD But to be fair, I can't necessarily go and watch his appearance on Charmed since I can't stand Alyssa Milano and I stopped watching that show after it'd gotten utterly ridiculous. But I've seen screencaps and he looks cute!
It's also funny because he's guest-starred in many other things. I just looked and went OMG HE WAS IN THAT AND IN THIS, OMGWTF?! Srsly. It's amazing where he was before Castiel.

Date: 2008-12-28 03:56 am (UTC)Wow... Yeah, I think they wanted Narnia to be the next LOTR and it just never quite took... makes sense since it really didn't do very well and I'm sure cost so much to make...
Yay for the end of the year!!! Time for 2009 baby! Are you equally as excited over New Years as for Christmas? ♥

Date: 2008-12-28 08:12 am (UTC)The first movie did extraordinary, but I think they set their expectations too high when they released the second movie, which did very poorly in the box offices. It's understandable given how uber expensive making those movies are to not be attached any longer. I have my issues with the Disney Co. as it is but this I can let this thing go.
Eh, not particularly as excited. I don't do the New Years Resolutions stuff and I don't go celebrating it. Christmas is more my holiday. Hee.
