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!

Lovely news for Jensen! Sure, indies are cool enough, but they don't necessarily make a career either... that is, not if no-one actually sees the film in the first place. I'm really happy he played in TIH and would love to see it in a theater and I'd definitely buy the DVD but things aren't exactly looking up on that front, so I'm glad he might have the opportunity to play in another film.

Thing is, Jensen or Jared, I'll support their work. Because I just love those guys *g* I'll always hope they get the opportunity to really show their talent, in films that please them, but I don't think I'll ever start dissing them or their work, a) because, dude, who am I to diss them? And b) because I'm a fan, man, so I'll be here even if the films suck ;-)

For me, the choice is easy. I don't like independent movies - too "arty" for me without anything actually happening. Though I do like the sort of films like "Bloody Valentine". So for me it's woot! ;D
