Jared to star in Thomas Kincade movies???
Apr. 9th, 2007 01:31 amThis has been the latest big news and I can't help but have mixed feelings. While I'm happy for Jared to be getting a leading role, I'm a little disappointed in the subject matter.

I'll admit...I liked Kincade's work...at first. But seriously, folks...it all looks the same! One cottage looks like the next house and even the rare lighthouse and small town street are all the same style. Why bother to continue painting if you never stretch and try new things? The man is stuck in a rut if you ask me. I'd have much more respect for his talent if he would just branch out and paint different things. There's so much more to life than houses with gigantic amounts of light spilling out from their windows. The problem is, millions of people are buying this stuff. And it's everywhere and on almost everything! So now they're going to make not one film, but three???? That makes no sense whatsoever to me. One film I can understand, but 3?!?! Clearly, this is all about more marketing for Kincade (like he needs more?). Who does he think he is? He's certainly no Picasso, Rembrandt, or Monet. They at least tried different things, and painted a wide variety of subjects. And nobody made 3 movies about each of their lives. A made for TV movie would be more appropriate in my opinion. Meanwhile, logistically, I'm wondering how they're going to film 3 movies in the short 4 or 5 months Jared has off from SPN? And aren't Jared & Jensen supposed to go over to Europe again in May to help promote the show? That'll cut into film time.
Anyway, I'm happy for Jared (no, really, I am). He said he was going to be looking for film projects during their break. Jared's acting has greatly improved this season and he should be looking for more opportunities to grow as an actor. And films are where most actors want to be. I just wish it was for something else. If it works for him, I'll be more than happy. But it's not going to change my opinion of Kincade's work. The guy's taken over the art world like his stuff's the best thing since sliced bread and it just...isn't. Sorry Kincade fans. It's just my opinion, afterall.
And on a side note...what about Jensen? This guy really needs to break out into movies. And no more of this small independent, artsy stuff (although I'm not against them, either) or straight to video stuff. I'm talkin' big films with big name stars. If only I was a scriptwriter in L.A. and my script was finished. *Sigh* The lead part I've written is perfect for him. Sadly, the script is far from finished, but it is coming along. I have big dreams for it. In fact, my college instructor said it would make a great TV series or mini-series! He was impressed by it, so that really helped raise my spirits. Maybe someday I'll get a chance to pitch it down in Hollywood...and Jensen will get the part. *dreamy sigh*
