Supernatural - 218 - Hollywood Babylon

[roguem]

I know it's really late, but as I said in my previous post; I've been super busy. 
It's a little shorter and different than my usual reviews, but I have pictures to make up for it. ;)
And now on to my review.

Supernatural - 218 - Hollywood Babylon

Lol, I knew the opening was from a set of a crappy horror movie the second I saw the swing. This ranks as one of my fave episode openings, just because they poked fun of the horror genre in such an awesome way, with the over-acting and the silly screams.

The concept drawing of the ghost looked like ghost rider to me.

 

Oh, the boys on a Hollywood tour, that’s just to great!

 

Dean: You know this is where they filmed Creepshow?

 

Haha, oh Dean. That kid just looked so confused.

 

Tour Guide: To the right here is Stars Hollow, it is the setting for the television series Gilmore Girls.

 

Lol, the look on Jared’s face was just priceless, he looked so freaked out.

 

Sam: Does this look like swimming-pool weather to you Dean? It's practically Canadian!

 

It had to happen sooner or later. Love that they are able to poke fun at themselves.

 

Dean: Sam, check it out, it's Matt Damon.
Sam: Yeah, pretty sure that's not Matt Damon.
Dean: No, it is.
Sam: Well Matt Damon just picked up a broom and started sweeping.

 

Haha, I’m gonna have to suspect Sam was right on this one and that it wasn’t Matt Damon.

At first I thought this was a weird way to follow the last episode, but when Dean asked Sam if he didn’t want some time off after Madison I was pleased, as we got an explanation, and Sam’s not ready to talk about it yet either.

 

Brad: Who says horror has to be dark? It’s kind of depressing, don’t you think?

 

Dean: What's a PA?
Sam: It's kinda like a slave.

 

Dean as a PA was just awesome!

 

Tara: Boogeyman, yeah that script was terrible.

 

Credit to Eric Kripke for letting that line air, lol. I have that movie lying around somewhere, think it’s about time I actually watch it.
Dean was so adorable when he was talkinf to Tara, awww, shy Dean.

 

Jay: We had a moment of silence for him this morning. He was a studio guy.

 

Sam: After seventy-five years, she suddenly goes homicidal. I mean, why now?
Dean: I don't know. Maybe she's mad they're making a scary flick.
Sam: Come on. Is it really that scary?

 

Dean: It's like 3 Men and a Baby all over again.

 

Dean: This map is totally worth the $5 bucks.
Dean: Hey, we gotta go check out Johnny Ramone's grave when we're done here.
Sam: You want to dig him up too?
Dean: Bite your tongue, heathen!

 

Aww, Dean and his music-love.

 

(Trailer for "Hell Hazers II: The Reckoning")
Announcer: They never forgive. They never forget. And this summer they're coming back again to settle the score... AGAIN!

 

How awesome was it that they used clips from ‘Scarecrow’ ‘Children Shouldn’t Play with Dead things’, ‘The Usual Suspects’ and ‘Route 666’ in the trailer. Lol!

 

Sam: You know, maybe the spirits are trying to shut down the movie because they think it sucks. 'Cause, I mean, it kind of does.

 

Somehow this line amused me a lot, as both boys have ventured into the horror-movie genre, and… well… not the best movies ever.

 

(Sam and Dean stop the fan)
Mark: You are one hell of a P.A.!
Dean:(smugly) I know!

 

Hell yeah! I wish Dean would be a P.A. on out set… *sigh*

 

Walter: You two can leave, but Mark's gotta stay.
Sam: Sorry, we can't do that.
Dean: It's not cause we like him or anything, it's just principle.

 

Dean: Come out to the coast, we'll get together, have a few laughs...

 

Die Hard!! Yay, lol. This line was so out of the blue, but I loved it.

 

Mark: So there is an afterlife?
Dean: Yeah. And mostly it's a pain in the ass.

 

Sam: I wouldn't have done that if I were you.
Walter: Oh yeah?
Sam: Yeah.
Walter: And why not?
Sam: Cause you just freed them. We can't stop them now. Walter, you brought them back. Forced them to murder. They're not going to be very happy with you.

Okay, not exactly as detailed as my usual reviews, but I figured I’d end up repeating myself all the way through the review as I went through the episode, so I’ll do this one a little simpler.

I adored this episode, the humour, the shout-outs, Dean stuffing his face, Dean as a PA, Sam just being confused, Dean being a total film geek… being able to pick out the extras was just awesome.

 

I also loved it because even though my movie-making experience is limited I recognized a lot of the situations of the behind-the-scenes life, very funny. I actually caught a lot of the references. I’m too lazy to list them here, but somebody else did the job, so if you’re curious, go HERE.

 

The cabin on set and the whole movie set-up with the teens reading the old Latin reminded me a lot of Evil Dead. The trailer for it was great, totally made of awesome.

 

Ben Edlund has done it again. I love his writing! Adding Ben Edlund to the staff was a really good decision. Great episode. He seems to be able to find what works for the actors and plays with it; the episodes he’s written this season are among my favourites.

 

In short an awesome episode!

Enjoy being busy it will help you appreciate quiet time more. Try to stop along the way to smell some flowers.

Thanks, hopefully things will quiet down a little bit.

I loved the episode except where dean walked out of the rocking trailer looking mildly dishelved and a grin from ear to ear that brought shame to the walmart smiley. My god why can't he keep it in his pants he's going to contract an STD of giantic proportion and end up with creams lol.

All and all i loved the lines and the making fun of the cheesy horror film industry because my god come on, hostel has a sequel coming out and saw got 3 movies. I want to punch hollywood square in the junk on that one.

By the way being busy is alright we're all busy i haven't updated in over a month let alone really commented i'm sorry about that but live life you've got one so no worries!

[roguem.livejournal.com]

I think that showing the rocking trailer was a bit over the top. Not really suprised he banged her, so showing him exiting the trailer a bit dishevelled would have suficed.
Hehe, he probably has a big box of cream in the trunk.

Hollywood is so messed up. Saw was great, but they should have stopped at one. I love that Supernatural just kicked the horror genre's ass with this episode.

Heh, thanks. We're busy people, aren't we?

oh that was a great review... i liked it and i enjoyed the episode! ;)

[roguem.livejournal.com]

Thanks, glad you liked it.
Awesome episode!

[trystan830.livejournal.com]

i always enjoy reading your reviews. :D

[roguem.livejournal.com]

Thanks :D
Glad you like them.

[trystan830.livejournal.com]

you're quite welcome. :D

[sebastian-tombs.livejournal.com]

Ha! I missed the Die Hard reference, and I can't believe I did - that was an awesome line!

[roguem.livejournal.com]

I thought it was so awesome that they had that line.

[moonlightstorm.livejournal.com]

lasdf This was SUCH a good episode. All of the inside jokes were great. XD I love when shows do stuff like that.

[roguem.livejournal.com]

Me too, at least when they do it well, and Supernatural did it great!

I loved the movie refs in this one! The 'Die Hard' one made me laugh, i love that movie. :) The '3 Men & A Baby' rumor was supposedly proven false. They said it was a cardboard cutout of a young boy that someone forgot to remove from the set.

Dean is a such a bad boy.. the rockin trailer made me grin, heh heh.

[roguem.livejournal.com]

I loved the movie refs to, though that is something I love in general.
And the Die Hard quote was just to good! :D

I knew about the 3 men & a baby thing. It's a cardboard cutout of Ted Danson actually, which he shows the two other men earlier in the film.

Hehe, I thought that was a bit over the top, but then again, it's Dean. Lol.

[tygerx.livejournal.com]

Oh you're right.. it was of Danson. See how rumors go! ;)

Yes, Dean can get away with that for sure, lol.

[roguem.livejournal.com]

Yeah, it's crazy. But it is free publicity.
