It's that time of year! Christmas specials are here!
Though I am quite bummed that we don't have cable at my apartment because I will be missing out on the Hallmark Channel's Holiday movies and Fa la la la Lifetime and the 25 Days of Christmas on ABC Family. Those cheesy movies are the best!

I have been meaning to add this movie to my "I Can't Wait For" portion of my blog, but I do so many weekly posts now that I've been putting it off. Since a lot of TV shows are now on their hiatuses, I thought Thanksgiving Weekend would be the perfect time. And why not...since I am very thankful for Ryan Gosling (and Emma Stone).
The Gangster Squadis an upcoming crime drama film that chronicles the LAPD's fight to keep East Coast Mafia types out of Los Angeles in the 1940s and 50s. The movie is directed by Ruben Fleischer and is written by Will Beall. The film stars Ryan Gosling, Emma Stone, Sean Penn, and Josh Brolin.
Ryan Gosling has definitely moved to the top of my favorite actors list after his last few movies (Drive, Crazy Stupid Love) and Emma Stone is definitely one of my favorite actresses (which is a very short list). She is hilarious in Easy A, and I loved her and Ryan's chemistry together in Crazy Stupid Love, so I know they will do great together in this movie too.
Comingsoon.net has some on-set pictures on their website that can be viewed here...but here is one of the pics.

The film is set to be released on October 19, 2012 by Warner Bros. Pictures.

Sam: Look, I'm not saying it's fun. I mean, to be honest with you I kind of see it as the best- case scenario. I mean, at least all my crazy is under one umbrella, you know? I kind of know what I'm dealing with. A lot of people got it worse. / Bobby: You always were one deep little son of a bitch.
Bobby: You die before me and I'll kill ya. / Dean: We need to scrape some money together and get you a condo or somethin'.
Dean: Remember when Crowley kept going on about hating "Dick?" I thought he was just being general.

While on a hunt, Sam (Jared Padalecki) runs into someone from his past and a confrontation ensues. Meanwhile, Dean reluctantly teams up with a quirky, laid-back hunter named Garth (guest star DJ Qualls), when he finds himself in a situation that he just cannot explain.

News!!:
So last night I went out to a bar with a few friends in North Hollywood. And guess who was there?! "The Other Winchester"! Yep, I met Jake Abel aka Adam Milligan and I one point, Micheal the Archangel. I asked for his picture and he was super nice and agreed. Here it is below! Its a little fuzzy since the bar was so dark and we were using a phone for the pic, but I think it turned out pretty good (except for my hair in a pony tail - what was I thinking?! Now I just have to meet Jensen Ackles, Jared Padalecki, and Misha Collins and my life will be complete ;)
Favorite Episode Quotes:
Dean: This is my ‘I dig smart chicks’ look. If they wore that, I wouldn’t have dropped out of school.
Becky: Guy’s a really good friend. We met in the erotic horror section at the Novel Hovel.
Becky: If everyone had a Wiccan in their pocket, the world would be a happier place.
Garth: He said you’d be all surly and premenstrual working with me.
Garth: I drop this lady at my cousin’s, he’ll stop anything trying to get her. We find Sam, hopefully fix this, everybody’s home in time for America’s Got Talent. Now you, you’ll be living with a tri-racial, paraplegic sniper until this all blows over.
Sam: It’s never something else. When are there ever two crazy things in town at the same time?
Becky: This is not how I imagined spending my reunion. I was gonna show you off. Not that anyone actually knows who you are. Supernatural’s not exactly popular. But you’re tall and nice and they’d all think I was happy.
Becky: I know you don’t love me. I know what I am, OK. I’m a loser. In school, in life. Guess that’s why I like you so much. I mean, not that you’re a loser. But you had that whole character arc about being a freak and I can relate.
Becky: Chuck dumped me. I think I intimidated him with my vibrant sexuality.
Garth: Blueberry vodka: The answer to all life’s problems.
Crowley: I only have one rule: Make a deal, keep it. There’s a reason we don’t call our chits in early: consumer confidence. This isn’t Wall Street, this is Hell. We have a little something called integrity. Dean: I gotta say man, you don’t suck. / Garth: Thank you. That’s the nicest thing anyone’s ever said to me.
The Vampire Diaries Season 3 Episode 9 - Homecoming
Summary(courtesy of The CW Network):
On the night of the Homecoming dance, Rebekah (guest star Claire Holt) opens up to Elena about why the evening is so important to her, leaving Elena with conflicting emotions. Caroline and Matt are both shocked at Tyler's behavior throughout the evening. The night takes a surreal turn when Klaus puts his latest plan into action. Determined to outsmart Klaus, Damon enters into a dangerous partnership, leading to a terrifying turn of events. The band My Morning Jacket performs in the party scenes. Paul Wesley and Kat Graham also star. Joshua Butler directed the episode written by Evan Bleiweiss.
Favorite Episode Quotes:
Damon: I am forming a secret contingency plan. / Elena: What is it? / Damon: If I told you, it wouldn't a secret.
Klaus: Portland is fantastic. Once you get over all the whiny music and healthy-looking people it’s literally a breeding ground for werewolves.
Stefan: I’m one hundred and sixty two years old and I’m going to a homecoming dance. I need better ties. / Elena: You could not go. / Stefan: I’m compelled to protect you. And if I look at your track record at high school dances it’s pretty tragic. With my luck you’ll go out and get yourself murdered by the homecoming queen.
Caroline: I finally almost got your mom to stop hating me, so I probably shouldn't get caught in some kind of vampire threesome with her son.
Caroline: Matt is an innocent, good person who should not be going to dances with evil blood sluts.
Tyler: I’m here hanging streamers and I’ve got glitter all over my hands. If I’m sired to anybody it’s you.
Damon: It's very Katherine of you. / Elena: Not the way to make me feel better about myself. / Damon: It was a compliment. Sort of.
Damon: Do you trust me? / Elena: Yes.
Damon: I'd offer you a drink, but Katherine tells me you're more of a vampire-on-the-rocks kind of guy.
Tyler: Klaus can't be killed. I can't be fixed. Understand that I'm okay with it.
Tyler: It’s not a party, man. It’s a wake.
Caroline: You’re sired to Team Klaus now and you can’t be trusted.
Mikael: They can’t kill me. / Klaus: True. But it will make one hell of a party game.
Tyler: I’m sorry I stabbed you. It’s the only thing I could think of to get you out of there. / Caroline: Oh yeah? Not, ‘Hey Caroline. I’m worried about what might happen this evening. So maybe you should go home and watch Dancing with the Stars.’

Bones Season 7 Episode 2 - The Hot Dog in the Competition
Summary:
A competitive eating champion's body is found shortly before the next major competition. Following a disagreement over the baby, Booth and Brennan attempt a little role-playing. Back at the lab, Brennan's new assistant seems a mismatch, despite his genius.
Favorite Episode Quotes:
Hodgins: Dr. Brennan, are you sure you don’t want a chair? The way you’re squatting, I’m worried that little guy in there is just going to drop right out. / Brennan: Thank you, but my uterus and cervical plug are quite healthy. Also, I’m not having a boy … it’s a girl.
Brennan: Ultrasounds are poorly pixelated and in black and white – you only like movies that are in color. / Booth: I would have loved this movie. It would have been my favorite movie of all time.
Hodgins: Okay! I’m sorry! All right? I was...an ass-hat. I am Thurston the ass-hat! There! Now...how do you scare a snake in a fishin’ hole?!
Just a quick reminder that if you haven't yet, please be sure to vote for the People's Choice Awards. See my blog post here about who to "write in" on certain categories, because they were stupidly left out.
November sweeps is upon us, so the next few weeks of my posts are going to start to get quite bare again. Luckily, my summer shows are just starting to come off their hiatuses so I will have some fill-ins. I also started watching The OC and am currently four episodes into season 2, so I will continue to watch it over the TV break.

Favorite Episode Quotes:
Booth: No, no! It’s not that you’ve grown bigger… It’s that you’ve grown out. You’ve gotten larger. You know, like, you’ve just expanded. You know… You look great, by the way. Booth: Are you asking me to marry you? / Brennan: What?! No. No! You’re the one who believes in marriage. I’m not going to bring it up. / Booth: Wow, you just did! / Brennan: Are you saying that you aren’t going to ask me to marry you? / Booth: You are going to ask me to marry you. / Brennan: That’s ridiculous. / Booth: It’s not ridiculous. It’s gonna happen! Booth: We've got a murder! Booth: I’m never going to be able to survive this pregnancy.
Hodgins: Angela used to cry at the ShamWow! commericals.
Brennan: I'm not normal. I'm extraordinary.

Hodgins: So, beaten six months ago and murdered last week. That is some bad luck.
Booth: God is not a sociopath.
Brennan: I love you too Booth. / Booth: I know.
Booth: Just get one shot… / Brennan: Not funny! /Booth: Right, OK. Well, it’s a little funny, you have to admit. Brennan: Lying here, I’ve had some time to think. Longer than I expected. You must run into traffic.
Brennan: I can always count on you to assist me practically, physically, and sexually.
Brennan: I would have seen this before if I wasn’t awash in hormones.
Wendell: She’s having that baby so the next generation will have someone to make them feel dumb.

Waiter:…you are a virile manifestation of the divine. [Walks away] / Dean to Sam: What the hell did he say to me?

Dean: There’s fake wuwu crap and there’s real wuwu crap. Sam: How many crystal balls do you figure there are in Lily Dale? / Dean: Somewhere between 50 and all of them. Dean: That’s gonna be like looking for a needle in a stack of fake needles.
Pawn shop guy: You’re looking…for something. / Dean: You’re good.

Museum Curator's message from Ellen to Dean: She seems quite concerned about you. She wants to tell you, pardon me, if you don’t tell someone how bad it really is, she’ll kick your ass from beyond. You have to trust someone again, eventually.
