Jensen in a movie! :)

Jensen Ackles set for 'Bloody Valentine'": In helmer Patrick Lussier's remake of the 1981 slasher film, Ackles will play Tom, a handsome, principled man who returns to his home in Harmony, Mo., 10 years after 22 people were murdered on Valentine's night. Back in Montana, Tom finds he still is smitten with his first love, Sarah (Jaime King), and is now a murder suspect.

Great! That sounds really good and I'm crossing my fingers here that he gets this role *crosses fingers*

But the fans are starting to piss me off like you wouldn't believe it. First they totally dissed and bashed Jared's new movie without frickin' seeing it, now they are saying even worse things about Jensen's new role. Yes, it's much better for him to star in independent movies like TIH that won't even get to cinemas and the execs have troubles finding anyone seriously interested in bringing it out at least on DVD (I have nothing against TIH, from what I heard it's a cool movie and I would adore to see it, but it didn't do Jensen's career much good so far since it's still a con/festival thing only).

Be happy for Jensen! This will put him in spotlight. And stop complaining until you actually saw the frickin' movie!

Now this is my applesauce worth of it all. I would have still gone OHHHHH NOOES about the remake of Friday 13th, Jared or not, because of the remaking of horror films in the last 10 years have been shocking. The need to remake so many old films is now getting to be quite silly- however- I will ALWAYS give it a go. House of Wax suprised me (at that point I wasn't even aware who Jared WAS) and I thought Paris technically was a good(ish) actress in that, so there- you know, you cant bash it til you seen it. DeVour I watched ONLY because of Jensen and I thought it was pants. I loved the special affects in it though and the editing in it was really quite amazing. I take the good from the overall bad ;)

I am a huge horror buff, so I think my 'negative' view on these horror films isn't necessarily bashing them or the film itself but the hollywood driven emphasis to overdo/remake so many films and somewhat ruining them.

I have never seen TIH but I was getting fed up of the JENSEN IS SO HOT AND GOOD IN IT. I know he's a good actor but I wanted a balance of what works for the film and what doesn't. I've heard its quite cliched and way too many stories going on- but till I see it (I have a feeling I probably wont for YEARS because of the HARDCORE WORSHIP of it)

I also get fed up with some fans thinking you're not a good 'fan' if you dont want eveyrthing they're in or give a slight bad review on it. It's a matter of taste but at the end of the day, the sun doesn't shine out of their arses and they're human. I think it's great to be able to watch something and give a balanced review on it, acting/actor and all. :)


I know Jensen has the chance to be hollywood film star potential - but i think television is where he will probably remain, unless he gets a lucky break in a film that does well. Jared however, despite having not so 'handsome hollywood' style looks (which I think WORKS so much better for him- I'm not saying he's ugly- far from it, in fact, i think Jensen can be too over pretty/handsome) Jared is obviously stepping into the film side a little more than Jensen, personally, to me, that's what I think.

I am happy that Jensen is doing this, because it obviously liked the script and it seems to be such a good crew involved. Will it be good? Hopefullyl they can take a really good stab at it and really make it a modern piece. I totally agree, there's no point really moaning that it will be shit until you seen it but with the remake of horor, i would think thats why people are being grumpy??

Personally I would love Jensen to step out of that genre, I know he did with TIH but its not like that's a film everone can see. I think he could really rock it from playing someone that isn't the 'classic hero' or 'good boyfriend'. We've seen this from him. Let him play a badass or support to a really good lead in a film. That's where he could really shine! :)

Exactly. I mean, we should be happy that Jensen is booking any roles at all. He did an independent movie two years ago, then theater last year and now a suspense/mystery/horror this year. How many actors get the chance to win any roles at all? It's not like those parts grow on trees. Anything that would make him visible and is not a cheap scandal in tabloids is good.

I'm just angry that people get pissy without even seeing it! I know that this is another remake, but a remake of an old Canadian movie that I bet at least a half of them not even heard about before!
