Sigh. What is it about anger and why am I so pissy right now? I am. I know I am and I'm not sure why. Nothing going on in real life and yet thus far I've mildly kerfuffled about the most stupid of things this week.
* small boobs (stupid kerfuffle)
* how short is short for an actress (stupid kerfuffle. And no, 5'-4" IS NOT TALL. Sheesh.)
* does The Grudge qualify as a "blockbuster" (answer is: No. Relatively successful financially? Yes. "Blockbuster"? No. Stupid kerfuffle).
These are stupid, inane, pointless kerfuffles and yet there I am becoming embroiled in them. Why? Seriously, step away from the keyboard, this is stupid. But -- sigh -- I'm moody for no reason right now.
Speaking of moody, have heard the increasingly rumbling rumors that JM has gotten a job on Smallville. ::Sad sigh:: I was hoping for something better. That said (moody remember?) I'm a bit irritated with all the upset. It's work, okay? It pays.
No, it's not a great job, but, really, from his POV it would make sense. It keeps him in good with the WB (which might or might not help with a possible Spike movie... if there's even a chance of that. Sure, I'm ambivalent and conflicted... when I move myself to even hold out the possibility of a Spike movie. If it were to happen, it has potential to do more harm than good. But a WB job would bode for a higher likelihood of a future movie than not having a WB job. And I would sort out my feelings on that score in the remote possibility of it to ever coming to pass [I'm not holding my breath.])
Or... well, Jensen Eckles had a recurring role on Smallville last year and he has his own show this year.
If it keeps his profile attractive to the network and keeps his name out there, it's not all bad from his POV.) Pilot Season is over. There's only a certain amount of work for TV actors because there's a limited number of shows. Getting a recurring role on a show is probably quite helpful for an actor in the real-life side of things. Gives him something to do. Puts another show on his resume. Shows he's not really British and doesn't have bleached blonde hair. And keeps his name from sinking into oblivion.
It also leaves him free to audition for pilots during pilot season. It's all good.
No, it's not, "AWESOME! He got a great role on a fantastic show!" But... it's work and could possibly help keep his career afloat. In a big scheme of things, it's all good.
And since I'm moody, and I've mentioned it before, I really dislike it when I see the Spike fandom start bashing JM. I end up wincing as if I watched someone kick their dog (it may not really be like that, but for some reason it feels like that to me.) It's not cute or 'teh cool.' It comes off as kind of snide. I mean, he's a person. He wasn't Spike. Isn't Spike. He isn't going to be cool-tv-crush-boyfriend forever. But he brought us a great deal of pleasure and he did so by turning in some damn good work. He isn't that character. He goofy and hyperactive and a bit of a dork, but doesn't he get a little credit for having done work that pulled you in and got you emotionally involved? I don't get the whole "I'm too cool for my old interests" crap. You don't have to continue to have the same level of interest. Not saying keep the old fictional crushes. Move on, just... you don't have to cut it down as you go. Appreciate what it was for what it was. Credit JM with some good work that moved you. Remember it with affection.
Oh, and IGNORE ME! As I said at the start, I'm in a pissy mood for reasons I cannot pinpoint, so I'm being far more...well...pissy than I would be in most cases. (And more pissy than I rightfully should be right now.) I'd say I'm PMSing, but I really don't get bitchy when PMSing... I get kind of depressed.
(And if I start talking about depression I'll go off on a pissy rant against Kelly Preston and Tom Cruise and their $cientology bullshit regarding psychiatry. Are these dimwits confusing psychiatrists with psychologists? Because I hate to tell them, psychiatrists are real doctors!)
::sigh:: See? Bitch mode. Sorry.
Move along. Nothing to see here.
Oh, and sadly... R.I.P, Scotty.
