I actually thought this was a good interview and I didn't see it as complaining at all, just stating the facts. And I agree with him that the network doesn't promote this show enough. I cannot tell you how many times I've heard, "I've never heard of Supernatural." I want to scream every time I hear that. Rarely are commercials ran to promote it. I feel like Supernatural is treated like the "redheaded step-child" as the saying goes. The network wants to profit from it, but not at the expense of recognizing it. UGH!!!!
Anyhoo -- I did like the fact that he thinks us oldies (I'm 36) are pretty cool. I think we're pretty cool too!!!
I'd have to go back and watch the scene from Bedtime Stories that you're talking about, Sarah, but it sounds like to me that the chick interviewing Dean was just being a bitch. They shouldn't even be allowed to interview them if they're going to be so nasty. I really hate that and it pisses me off. These guys are doing a great job and they've got people like that out there trying to drag them down. Acting is a tough business and she's trying to make it worse. This is they're JOB, people, how they make a living, how they pay the bills!!! Maybe someone needs to give her a little tit for her tat in her own reporting world, which is just as competitive. Wonder how she'd like that.
Okay, I had to rant there for a bit. It just frustrates me.
As for Dean and his new girl, I think the man needs to have a life too and I agree, everyone needs someone, even an "extra cookie" once in a while. Ha! I do like seeing the girls they get with, though, just to see what they look like and all. You know, to kind of see the type of girl that they like. Not that I could ever compete or would even try for that matter. I'm happy and content with my husband of 16 years the 30th of this month.
Those are my 2 cents. _________________ www.gracenmiller.com/

I agree with you (and him, obvs) completely. I've been trying desperately to spread the word. So far, it hasn't worked superbly, but I've got a few more viewers under SN's belt. Actually, the two biggest reasons I've gotten for people not watching is that a) they don't have time to play catch-up (I'm working with university students, mind you) and b) it's too scary. I made my canmate (we have separate single rooms that are joined by a bathroom, re: CANmate rather than roommate) watch the Pilot and she was freaking right out. She ended up sleeping with her lights on and she left the doors to the bathroom open so that she could hear me in the other room. *snuggles her* I was all HAHA THAT'S AWESOME!
But anyway. Yes. Nobody's heard of it until I wax poetic about it, and I NEVER see commericals for it. Gossip Girl, Reaper and Smallville seem to get all the ads. Pfft.
Oh, that's alright. Did you hear what the Ostroff Bitch said this week about the strike? She said that it's good for the network because, GET THIS, without the competition of shows like Grey's Anatomy, fans will be able to click over and see some of our shows, like GOSSIP GIRL.
HEL-FUCKING-LO! SUPERNATURAL AIRS AT THE SAME TIME AS GREY'S, NOT GOSSIP GIRLS, YOU BITCH. Gossip doesn't even HAVE competition, no matter what she says. House isn't THAT big, and it's the only other show on at that time. as;dlfjs;adlfkjs;dl

You guys are rockin'! I bet my mom would like to hear that, too, but I don't want it going to her head. Then again, she might get offended that I called her an "oldie". She's at the 45 mark now, and hating it. XD

Uhhhhm. Is this that thing I mentioned from the CreationCon where the girl stood up and said that Jared wouldn't be able to answer and then asked anyway and bashed his ability to act?
If so, yeah, I wish they'd screen them first. Keep out the bitches and the creepers.

Oh competition. I've not managed to be that for any guy yet. *frowny face* But alas! And yeah, Jensen doesn't seem to HAVE a type. Unless you count pretty with big boobs. Joanna was a blonde, POlish model/actress. Daneel is a redheaded American actress/model. From what I can tell, though, Daneel is the somewhat more wholesome and private of the two. I've read up on Joanna and she seemed less than super.
And from what I can tell, she was bitter about Jensen dumping her. And he seemed to dump her because he "didn't understand" or "didn't compromise" --> she'd be doing naked shoots with strange men in foreign countries and he didn't like it/got jealous but she wouldn't stop, so dumpage. Plus, when they were dating, she did a Playboy spread in which she first named him as her boyfriend, said he was an all-around great guy (which we all know) and so not the head-up-the-ass Hollywood type... and then went on to say "plus, the orgasms I have with him are amazing!"
Now. We all know Jensen is very private. As much as a compliment as that probably was for him...he probably was also really embarrassed to have his sex-life aired in PLAYBOY.
*cough* Anyway...
HAPPY EARLY ANNIVERSARY!  |

SORRY, BUT I STILL HAVEN'T FIGURED OUT HOW TO QUOTE SOMETHING CORRECTLY.

Sometimes I'm glad I don't listen to all this crap because that just pisses me off too. My husband watches Grey's, so I DVR both shows. I refuse to watch Greys because it's so damn stupid, too sopera-ish for me and just plain ridiculous. I cannot stand seeing a woman pine after a man the way those chicks on there do. I can't take it. It makes me want to gouge my eyes out. It'd be less painful.
So, that said, the Ostraff woman sounds as stupid as the Grey's Anatomy show is. Does SN mean absolutely nothing to her? Is it the dirty dark secret of CW that they're trying to keep in the closet? This is a really good show and it pisses me off that she doesn't support it at all. Yeah, it has a dark side, but I love that dark side too. We the fans wouldn't be watching it if the dark side didn't draw us too. This show is worth promoting. Sometimes I wonder if the CW isn't trying to get this show canned, maybe they don't feel like it's worthy enough to run, but right now, it's one of the best they got and they can't let it go. That's pure speculation, of course.
Your "canmate" is pretty funny. Of course, I'm the type that little to nothing truly scares me. I love, love, love anything supernatural, horror related. I cut my teeth on it growing up. My parents took me to see the Exorcist when I was 5!!!!! WTF! It's a wonder I turned out normal...well, relatively normal anyway. My husband tells me I'm weird, but, hey, he married me and had children with me, so he obviously likes "weird". I probably expose my children to too much horror stuff too. I admit I don't like fitting in with the norm. It takes character to live outside the neat little box society tries to put us in. And anyone can do norm! Anyway, I've gotten off topic, but my next door neighbor watched the first episode and had nightmares. She won't watch another episode, but, to her credit, she hates anything supernatural or horror oriented, so I was probably fighting a losing battle there. I have gotten a couple of people hooked on it. Just gave season 1 to my mother-in-law. She loved Jensen in Dark Angel, so maybe she'll like this too.

YEA me!!!! I got this quote thingy to work, but still can't get the first one to work! Anyway, yes, I was referring to the CreationCon where the girl bashed Jared's ability to act. That was rude and uncalled for. These guys are doing the best the can, with an unsupporting network, and they have oodles of talent. They don't need this crap.

LOL! Oh, I bet he HATED that! I got a good laugh over it and felt a tad bit embarrassed for him. What a compliment, though. But I still wouldn't want my husband spouting that to his co-workers! I'd want my life to be as private as possible too. They have so little privacy, they should at least have it in the bedroom. As far as Joanna went, she didn't seem to look like his type. The Daneel girl looks to fit more with him and his looks to me. Or that's a chick's take on it anway. Either way, they're both beautiful women.
Now that you've said he gives "amazing orgams", I'll be thinking about it every time I watch him on SN! Where do you find all these articles BTW?

Thanks! Whew! I thought you were about to tell me I WAS your Mom's age! Yeah, I jokingly call us "oldies" because age is so relative. I still feel 25 and sometimes wonder where all the time went.

Put (quote) with square [ ] brackets before what you're quoting and (/quote) after.

Yeah, my mom watches Grey's. But as reruns because she wants to watch Supernatural while it's actually on. I think it's partially because she wants to stay close to me while I'm away and it's my favourite show. But even she's admitted that it's gone downhill since last year. Which I am so THANKFUL for. I hated going home and seeing her watching it. Ugh. And as a girl who tends to have a crush on one guy for more than a year at a time, I can honestly say that we don't act like that. I don't sit around moping or refuse to look elsewhere or cry when they don't talk to me or sabotage their relationships. UGH.
| Quote: | | So, that said, the Ostraff woman sounds as stupid as the Grey's Anatomy show is. Does SN mean absolutely nothing to her? Is it the dirty dark secret of CW that they're trying to keep in the closet? |
I would say she's even stupider. And that really IS saying something, coming from me. The thing you have to realise is that Dawn Ostroff was made the CEO or whatever when it became the CW. If you look at all the shows that were on UPN or the WB before she was put at the head of the ship, they get hardly any promotion either and some have been canned. She only wants to promote the new shows that are wholly hers. And those shows just happen to be stupid little shows about the popular girls in high school or about models. Whatever. She's an idiot and everyone in fandom (across the board, not just on SN but on OTH, Smallville, etc) has agreed she needs to go.

I was 8 the first time I saw the Exorcist. And I laughed my ass off. The part where she's on the bed throwing up pea soup and screeching "FUCK ME FUCK ME!" while stabbing her thigh with a cross? That's supposed to be fucked up and scary. I thought that was awesome. Then again, I was raised...not in a atheist household, but in a non-religious household. So by the time I was 8, I was already a little atheist and the priest's expression in that scene just made me crack right up. I LOVE that movie. AND THE SPIDERWALK SCENE FTW!
...don't get me wrong, I'm not a screwball or anything. And I don't want to go around terrifying priests. I guess I just appreciated those scenes in a very different way than most theists would. They'd be horrified, whereas I thought it was pretty funny.
I also saw things like The Shining as a small kid and absolutely loved those. To this day, those twin girls and that flood of blood and the REDRUM scene are some of my all-time favourites. I also grew up reading as many ghost stories, vampire novels, witch novels, you name it as I could. My favourite book/TV amalgamation as a kid was Goosebumps. I always thoguht the ones with the ventriloquist dummies were super freaky. XD And then when I got older, I started going to scary movies hoping to BE scared. Poltergeist, Chucky, Friday the 13th, all the Stephen King movies, Sixth Sense, Blair Witch, House on Silent Hill, Amityville Horror, The Grudge, you name it. So far I remain unscared. Alas!
So in conclusion! I don't think you're weird. My brother and I both love all those mystery/scary/supernatural movies. Me moreso than him. He's a little bit of a wimp when it comes to them, but I always managed to convince him. 'Course, that involved making him forts to watch them from because he for some strange reason believed that'd protect him from people in the TV. *snort*

Agreed. They also don't need middle aged women standing up to tell them that they know more about them than their own mothers. That's just CREEPY.

I KNOW, RIGHT? I'd be absolutely horrified, compliment or no. And in this case, not only would his colleagues hear about it...so would everyone else! *hides face* Oh man, I can't even imagine...
And yeah, she does seem to fit better.
I already thought Jensen + amazing orgasms = fact before I read about all this, now it's just worse.
I just found them on google. I went looking because I'd heard about Joanna dropping personal sex-life bombs in widely-read publications and decided I wanted to see it for myself so I'd know what people were talking about. I think it was...April 2005? She did a Playboy shoot. And then the others were just interviews she did. If you look up "Joanna Krupa interview Jensen Ackles" you'll get hits.
| Quote: | Thanks! Whew! I thought you were about to tell me I WAS your Mom's age! Yeah, I jokingly call us "oldies" because age is so relative. I still feel 25 and sometimes wonder where all the time went. |
I'm 20 and wonder where the time went. *flop* I like to tease my parents about my age. I'll go "Oh wow, Celine Dion's 'Falling Into You' album was hiding in a box! Man, I feel so OLD now." And they just stand there and glare murder at me. That or "Huh. I'm almost the age you were when you HAD me!" More glaring.
| Quote: | | Thanks. I'm pretty proud of it. We've had our ups and downs, but our relationship is better now (in every way) than it was when we first married. |
Awwww, that's great! I think all relationships go through ups and downs. I know my parents in particular have been together since they were 16 and 14, and now they're 47 and 45, which is a huge deal for them. But when I was...8ish? 9ish? I remember they fought a LOT for about a year. And they still have their disagreements, but they're way better now and a lot more stable and happy than many couples I know. Which, wow, right? I mean 31 years. And this summer I threw them a 25th party and my dad bought my mom this huge diamond and made this speech in front of everyone that was really sweet and had my mom crying. And all his friends were like "ASSHOLE! Now WE have to buy rings." *laughs* So yeah. I say hang in there, it'll probably only get better and you might get a whopper of a ring out of it!  |

Oh, hell, no, I don't think I'm weird either. I tell my husband all the time that I'm what keeps his life interesting. He'd be so boring and uptight without me, it makes me shudder to think about it. I had a college male friend tell me that I wasn't like normal girls becaue I liked horror movies and they didn't scare me. I'm like you, I go because I want to be scared, but I never come away being scared. I just went and saw 30 days of Night. I had read and heard from people I knew that said it was scary. I don't think we were watching the same movie. There was nothing scary about that movie.

Exactly!!! And, oh, yeah, I was the same way when I got crushes on guys. I still wonder whatever happened to those guys I had crushes on way back when before I married. Embarrassingly enough, I wrote poetry for one guy and stuck it in his locker without him knowing it. LOL. But, hey, I gotta laugh over that one, too.

I loved the Shining. The book was a great read too, much better than the movie. If anything came close to scaring me it would have been the Shining. These movies you mentioned were really good. Some other great horror movies were Hellraiser, the Omen, Pet Cemetary, Christine, Cujo, Carrie (of course all these 4 are King novels), a Nightmare on Elm Street, Freddy, The Howling, and the list could go on and on. And still none of them were ever scary. The Exorcist is a classic all the way around. While I didn't grow up in a particularly religious home, my grandmother was and still is very religious. Let me put it this way. If my grandmother doesn't get into heaven, we're all on a highway straight to hell. So, while I believe in God, I had my moments growing up and in my twenties when I didn't believe or was unsure that God existed. Sometimes, it's still hard for me to wrap my brain around. That said, I still love anything that challenges the biblical principals.

Agreed. That's so creepy all the way around, I don't know how to react.
| Quote: | | I already thought Jensen + amazing orgasms = fact before I read about all this, now it's just worse. |
Oh, yeah. The man oozes sex appeal. Even my neighbor that watched SN and it scared her, one of the first things she said was, "he's hot", talking about Jensen.
| Quote: | | I know my parents in particular have been together since they were 16 and 14, and now they're 47 and 45, which is a huge deal for them. |
Wow! They were young when they hooked up. We got together when we were 17 and 18, the summer after graduation. My husband actually dated a friend of mine while in our junior year of highschool. He and I hung around a lot of the same people and I've known him since I was 15. I feel like I've known him my whole life. It gives me hope to know you're parents were so young too and they're still together. What a testimony!! _________________ www.gracenmiller.com/

Awww really? I wanted to see that. I was hoping it'd be scary. Ah well. Does Josh Hartnett die? That might make it still worth it.

Awww! That's cute. See, I've gotten to the point where I just don't tell the guys I like. They never like me back. And I find that telling them turns them into idiots. Suddenly they can't talk to you, let alone remain friends with you. It's ridiculous. I've lost two really good friends by taking a chance on them. So. My mom's always telling me to just ask the guy I like out. And I'm always like "hell no!" So I just wait to get asked out...which also doesn't work. But eh. At least I'm not losing friends left, right and centre. Boys are stupid. *flop*

I'll have to read it! More than anything, I want to hear Dean saying "redrum...redrum...REDRUM! REDRUMREDRUMREDRUM!" and Sam finally going "DEAN. SHUT UP!" *cackles*
Oh, Pet Cemetary was always good. And so were Cujo and Carrie! Did you ever see The Leprechaun? I WANT THE WINCHESTERS TO DEAL WITH A LEPRECHAUN! Those things are MESSED. And Dead in the Water was totally based on a Stephen King novel. I can't remember what it was called. But I remember the movie scene with all the kids on the floating dock while something's in the water. And I really wish Bugs had been more like the one with the native ghost going around and scalping all the white guys. XD ...again, that probably makes me sick. *cough*

If my grandmother doesn't get into heaven, we're all on a highway straight to hell. So, while I believe in God, I had my moments growing up and in my twenties when I didn't believe or was unsure that God existed. Sometimes, it's still hard for me to wrap my brain around. That said, I still love anything that challenges the biblical principals. |
I'm like...the hardcore in my group of friends. Although I'm also the one who says that we should all respect each other's beliefs. I actually prefer it when people have faith in a higher being (whether it's God, Mother Earth, or freaking aliens, I don't care) than when they're just indoctrinated into a religion and don't know anything else. Organised religion freaks me out. It has so much power over people and forces them to do so much and just...*shudder*
I think I'm a good person. I'm pretty moral and all that. But it's not because I follow guidelines set out in front of me and have some dude standing at a pulpit and telling me that I'm going to burn for eternity if I go against any of these little rules. I don't like hurting people, so I don't. I respect myself, so I don't go around getting smashed and sleeping with randoms at bars around campus. I don't eat red meat or pork because they're gross and chewy and...*nauseous* So really, I end up following a lot of the stuff set out in the Bible but not because of that. My mom always said that the Bible was a sort of book of fables for her growing up -- each story had a moral/a good lesson. She just always told my brother and me to treat people the way we wanted to be treated, to respect ourselves and be the best we can be. *shrug* So I dunno. I don't think not believing in a higher power or an afterlife makes me a bad person. In fact, I know a lot of people who do believe in those and I consider them bad people. And I know a lot of bad atheists and good religious people. So it's hard to make judgements based on belief/lack of belief.
asdl;fjkasf;klsjd Oh religion. Okay. So that was way off topic. ANYWAY...

Jared handled it pretty admirably. I think I might have cried for my mommy or screamed "SECURITY!"
| Quote: | | Oh, yeah. The man oozes sex appeal. Even my neighbor that watched SN and it scared her, one of the first things she said was, "he's hot", talking about Jensen. |
I told my canmate (okay, I'm just going to say Emily from now on) that Jensen was The Most Beautiful Man Alive (and he is, clearly) and she looked skeptical. So I showed her. And she just got these wide eyes and was like "...wow. He IS pretty." And then we stared.
| Quote: | | Wow! They were young when they hooked up. We got together when we were 17 and 18, the summer after graduation. My husband actually dated a friend of mine while in our junior year of highschool. He and I hung around a lot of the same people and I've known him since I was 15. I feel like I've known him my whole life. It gives me hope to know you're parents were so young too and they're still together. What a testimony!! |
Wow, you guys were young, too! I'm sure that if you're as happy as you say you are, you'll be able to hang in there.
It's actually sort of awkward for me that they were so young. My mom was only 2.5 months into being 20 when she got married, and I'm coming up on being 2 months in and...I'm still lacking the whole boyfriend thing. Going home for holidays sucks because the extended family always go:
EF: So! How's residence?
Me: Awesome. This year is so much better.
EF: Good, good. How's school?
Me: Alright. Like most of my classes. Getting pretty good marks across the board.
EF: Good, good. So! Do you have a boyfriend?
Me: No.
EF: Why not?
Me: Um. Because? I don't know.
EF: Well, why not?
Me: ...because I don't.
EF: Well, why not?
Me: (twenty 'why nots' later...) MAYBE BECAUSE BOYS DON'T LIKE ME AND THINK I'M UGLY!
EF: ...uh. Uh...oh. So...wow, is it snowing? That's so super and wonderful and I just had to point it out and change the subject! Yay!
Me: *fumes silently*
So yeah. It's weird being years behind everyone else and having it thrown in my face at every family function when my good-looking male cousins (hereby known as the Ginormous Asshole Squad or GAS) bring in their (usually new) pretty girlfriends. And my parents are all "Why not just ask someone out? You can just go on dates, you don't have to have one steady boyfriend." And I kind of look at them and go "...mom, you've been with one guy for 31 years. Don't talk to me about something you have no clue about. Pfft." Haha. Ughhhhhh.
Sorry, had to rant. I'm going home in just over a week and I'm dreading it at the same time as I'm looking forward to it. >.< |

I cannot tell you what happens in 30 Days of Night. If you ever plan to watch it, I don't want to ruin it for you. I'm not saying the movie wasn't worth watching, it just was NOT scary in any way. It was a lot bloody and gory, but not scary. My girlfriend went with me and I kept asking her if she was okay. She kept her hands in prayer-like-fashion over her chest the entire time. She jumped and squealed and peeked between her fingers, but I didn't find anything startling about it. I ate M&Ms all the way through it. As a hint though -- when you watch it, you'll probably like the ending.

That scene would be pretty hilarious with Dean saying "redrum" and Sam yelling "Shut Up!" I can picture it so easily in my head.
I guess I missed Leprechaun. I didn't know any horror movie got past me. I'll have to rent it. I think a leprechaun would make for a good episode, especially if he was all evil and twisted, not at all like the leprechauns on Charmed. They were a little too goody-good for me.
Dead in the Water was creepy. Just the idea of something being in the water that you can't see, really creeps me out. We spend a lot of time at the lake during the summer and I always wonder if there's anything beneath me now when I'm swimming! YIKES!
Did you read Pet Cemetary? The scene where Gage dies where the semi-truck hits him, was pretty awesome. Not that it was awesome when the baby died, but awesome the way King made you live it and feel all the anguish of his parents. I was in high school when I read that book and it was still pretty powerful. Now, being a mother, I don't know that I could handle it without getting all broken up. I love a lot of King's older work, but these days he loses me with his epic novels that could have been cut in half and still have the same powerful effect. I get bogged down in his wordiness now.

Organized religion doesn't freak me out or bother me at all. I agree it can and does have power over people if they allow the church to control their every thought and action. Organized religion can become almost cultish in my opinion. I think there's a fine line between any of them. I'm not against organized religion, I just don't necessarily believe every stricture that is spoken from that pulpit. I go to church with my grandmother some and went a lot as a child and I still don't necessarily believe all that is preached.

My grandmother is a Baptist and all I've ever gotten from any of the preaching was that you had to believe in Jesus Christ and accept him into your heart to be saved. No other rules to follow. Just believe in him and you go to heaven and not to hell. I don't remember any rules (I assume the 10 commandments is what you're talking about) except for in the Old Testament and they didn't have Jesus saving them. I've always thought the Old Testament related to those without Jesus and that the Old Testament teachings were just that--teachings. They were moral stories, examples of how to lead your life.
| Quote: | | I don't eat red meat or pork because they're gross and chewy and...*nauseous* |
I really think the red meat and pork was if you were Jewish and that was Old Testament preaching again -- not the New Testament, which is what I was reared with and told that applied to us now.

I certainly don't have the answers. I believe in God and I believe in Jesus. I’m not going to try to change your belief even though the preacher tells me I should. I don’t believe the “holier than thou” folks really make any headway, unless that person is already seeking religion. I believe instead that they turn people away from religion. I do agree with your mother, though, that you should treat people the way you want to be treated. There are people on both sides of the fence that are good and bad. So, I agree, it's hard to make judgments on someone's belief or lack thereof. To me, it's the actions of the person that speak louder than any belief or lack of belief that they express.
| Quote: | | My mom was only 2.5 months into being 20 when she got married |
How truly strange....My birthday is in October and I married my husband in November, almost 2 months after my 20th birthday. Sometimes I look at all these married couples divorcing and I wonder what we do right. My husband is stuck with me whether he likes it or not.
My advice to you...live your life and be happy with it. It doesn't matter what your family thinks you should do. YOU are the one that has to be happy with the choices you make. And just because the guys you like don't like you doesn't mean you're "ugly" or anything. Most of the guys I had crushes on didn't like me either. And then I developed this huge crush on my husband and kept it to myself for a while, telling only my closest friends. Then when I finally broke down and told him...well, 19 years later and the rest is history. You're only 20. I cringe these days when I hear of people getting married that young. I've got friends who got married in their 30s. One that had a baby a year ago. I've got another who just found out she's pregnant with her first child and she's 39 years old. So, you're clock isn't ticking yet for either that final relationship or for family. You're still young, live it and enjoy it. Besides, guys are such idiots. It takes them longer to figure things out.
Boy, we have gotten WAY off topic, but I've enjoyed it.
