Had wanted to post this earlier, before the final of my favorite TV show (Heel Holland Bakt - the Dutch version of The Great British Bake Off;) but LJ was being a butt. The best (and cutest) home baker won with marvelous cookies and cake, yay!
After two days of lots of CSI, Supernatural and Being Human, this morning
sillie82 and I ended our fangirl marathon with the 3 hour miniseries about Marilyn Monroe called "Blonde", purely for the three (four?) scenes that feature young Jensen Ackles (2001!). He plays Eddie G. who *apparently* was in a threesome relationship with Marilyn together with Cass Chaplin (son of Charlie), played by a young Patrick Dempsey (fanfiction in motion, people; never happened in real life, but oh so much fun to watch;) Marilyn's character is all over the place and very annoying, the dialogues are cringe-worthy, but oh my, there is Jensen dancing in a kimono and diving enthusiastically between Marilyn's legs, so five stars for that \o/
Someone was wondering why we were watching all these hot series in an almost unbearably hot attic and I realized not everyone knows about my upstairs cinema *grins* So for those of you who are new here or who missed previous accounts on fangirl marathons, here are some photos.
This is my big screen, the beamer projects an image with a diagonal of about 1.90 metres (= 6.3 feet)
The second hand cinema chairs were a gift from university friend Oscar, the black and white filmphotos I pinned up on the ceiling were donated to me by old friend and copywriter Wouter (who also got me loads of other promo-materials, like the huge PotC flag on the left;)
Note the bowls of water to soak our feet in (best idea EVER, will provide these for future summermarathons!)
The refreshments corner with loud popcorn machine and my blackboard for keeping track of the series I'm watching with different people (Buffy/Angel with brotherdearest, Torchwood with neighbour Richard)
Sillie and I dancing with a nearly life size Jensen :-D
Fangirling really can't get any better than that:)
To see more photos (and a bigger audience) up in my attic, check out these old posts. Whenever a new Potter film was released, I would invite my Potterposse and we would watch all the films over one weekend before going to the latest edition in the cinema.
