He did it to me again
How is it that Jensen can sneak up on me when I totally know he's going to be there?
Geo and I watched MBV this weekend. (We did a double feature of Drag Me to Hell and MBV. Won't be doing that anymore if a wee one joins us.) I actually spent a good deal of the movie crocheting, only putting my needlework down when Jensen was on the screen (or scenes where I knew he was going to appear). 'Cause, you know. That's the way it works. Anyway . . .
Reveal scene. Obviously, Jensen is in this scene, so I'm watching it, right? And I'm sitting on the end of the couch farthest away from the speaker through which Jensen/Tom's off-screen line is channeled.
You know what?
I still jumped.
*facepalm*
Also, this movie plays so much better in movie theater 3D. (I won't watch it on home 3D because the color correction is screwy.) There was some pretty fun gimmicky 3D, but really? The things that used the 3D to show depth (rather than pop things out of the screen at you) were fairly amazing. Some of the best live-action 3D I've seen since the craze reemerged. Yes, this cheesy horror flick has one of my very favorite 3D shots in ever--the establishing aerial shot of the mine. I was amazed. I think I even leaned over to Geo and whispered, "Now they're just showing off."
Also-also. I'd really like to see a variation of this movie done not as a gore movie, but more as a suspense movie, a psychological horror/thriller flick. I really kind of loved how Jensen shaped what he was given to work with, the arc he took the character through, and the final split/taking over of the other personality.
Not that such a movie would ever get made. But it would be kind of cool to see.
And while I'm thinking about it, I'd kind of love to see him in a movie akin to Identity.
