So, I bought Men's Fitness on my way to getting my hair did yesterday, and yeah, it was worth it. Goddamn, Jensen. (I just made six different versions of an icon of the shoulder pic for Nan and could've done a dozen more. Nnnghmmf.)
Then I spent a stupid, stupid number of hours finishing my vid for wincon. Stupid. I have so much respect for all y'all that actually vid. Because. That sucked, dude. Anyway, that's being beta'd and will premiere at the con, but I'll put it up in my LJ when I get back.
Alright. Shower, reschedule my waxing appointment, start grading midterms, go to campus to pick up the other set, mooch lunch and bigscreen TV for the football game from the 'rents, and cry because I have to go to work tomorrow. Fuckin' pseudo-gov't holidays.
Anyway. As usual, commentary and approx. 20 hi-res caps from
2x02: Everybody Loves a Clown.
Oh, SAM. I. It's like Jared can do no wrong this season, guys. I am so psyched.
The one perfect tear, heh. Dude, as I was saying in Rachel's journal, what's interesting to me about Dean lying here is that every other time we see Dean lie to Sam, it's to tell Sam what he wants to hear. And this wasn't. Anyway, interesting.
You already know I'm obsessed with his armpits, but hello. Look at the way his muscle bunches right above his elbow. Craziness.
This looks sort of funny on its own, but I loved, LOVED Jensen's work in this scene: this, using the icepack as a prop, the "really, lady." Oh, Jenny. My Jared appreciation is just shiny and new! I still love you best.
This is for Anne. 51 hours?
Just a few very, very pretty shots of Dean. The [
grey henley of perfection ] now has its mate: the olive henley of cling.
I loved Jensen's delivery of the "buncha scumbags" line. Oh, hee.
This may have been the hottest gesture of the ep. It isn't capping well, but nnngh. (Actually ... when I was doing those icons from his fall fashion shoot, it occured to me that maybe Jensen has short arms. Particularly for the length of his torso. He seems to be VERY fond of pushing up or cuffing his sleeves. And remember the floppy jacket cuffs in the pilot and PT ... )
AHAHHAHAHAH! "Fingered a clown." Dean's all: "Dude." And Sam's all: "What? What'd I say?"
Pretty. Pretty. I love when they do this in shots. Also, I forgot to express my LOVE for the "Wussy State" line. Oh, hee.
Pretty, pretty Sammich. And more Jared nose for Anna.
Oh, SAM. I was ALSO saying to Rachel that it's insane to me: any ONE of the FOUR fights of theirs in this ep would've been inredible on its own. Four was just an embarrassment of painful, awesome characterization riches.
What's the cap equivalent of "wecon"?
Pretty clouds. (For Anne too.)
Oh, ASH! AHAHAHHA. I love his and Dean's mutual boycrush. Also, dude, what's with the character rename here? In the sides it was "Miles." And we already GOT an Ash (or, an Asher). Miles is kind of too old-fashioned a name for this actor's age, though.
SEE??? Mutual boycrush.
Oh, Sammich, your dimples slay.
AHAHAHHAHAHAHHAH.
AHAHAHHAHAHHAHAH!
How AWESOME was it that Ash picked up Dean's ... shit, I am so old, I forgot what we called them in college. Something soldiers. AHAHAHHAAHAH.
They don't let us down with the semi-gratuitous shots every once in a while, do they? JP's ass looks good in motion. I needn't discuss the Ackles' back, I am certain. "I mean, daaaaaaaaaamn."
No words, I won't even try.
Aaaaaand, it comes full circle. Hats fucking OFF to you, Jared. Boy howdy. You rocked the shit out of this ep (ignoring the slightly-wonky delivery of the "I'm going to call Ellen now" line). Awesome. AWESOME.
