I think I might have created a monster. I'm having a dull week, so I'm just looking at my DVD collection and thinking, HEY ... MOOD THEME. Maybe because TV hasn't been so satisfying this week. Heroes was odd. No Prison Break. And I miss my Simpsons reruns! Also, what happened to MI-5 on A&E? They show two episodes from Season 4 and then nothing? Bastards.
What mood theme should I make next?

You didn't see that vote coming at all, did you?
This all started when I wanted to add a Supernatural theme but I couldn't find one I loved completely. And then suddenly I'm making something completely different. I know. Makes no sense. (And I could totally make my own SPN theme but ... I don't know. I'll probably end up cutting and pasting an existing one together.)
I have a hard time giving up my Shakespeare one, but yeah, I couldn't find a SPN one I wanted either. There was a J2 type deal recently, but I can't seem to track it down. And even just LOADING it is a pain...I give you MADprops for capping and matching and all of that. SO HARD.
And I *do* have an actual SITR icon, don't I? huh.
*goes to vote*
But likely Singin' in the Rain. I like bright colors...or B&W evidently!
I think I've acquired a new mood-making-bug so I could end up doing both. It's a fun way to revisit my favorite movies. And there won't be any pressure to use them once I'm done.
also? Blade Runner? best. taste. ever.
And I'd go tell you that in your other post but soooo sleepy.
And man, uploading a mood theme is a pain. It's almost as much work as making one. If you want to know how, I can walk you through it.
*nods in agreement and fear of LJ's moody nature*
It's a pain to set it up because you have to manually upload each picture individually (132!) and cut and paste links to them all. Which is why I've had mine for about 2 years!
That and I've just realized the most obvious mood theme of all that I should be creating. *points to your icon* I actually haven't seen one anywhere!
I'm SO RANDOM. LOL. :D
but if you do a Toy Story one? MY GOD. I would not resist. that I'm sure ;)
pssst....I've discovered a new way to pass the time away! Matt bought me those model airplanes kits to put together! I'm sniffing glue like there's no tomorrow! Whee!!!!!
About halfway into the Blade Runner one, I thought, 'Eh, I'll never want to use this one myself, I'm already tired of it.' But now that it's done I kind of love it more than ever. But here I am already planning new ones so who knows which one I'll end up using? LOL.
And it wasn't as much work as I'd thought. I guess a 2-hour or so movie is easier than an entire series! Although finding obscure moods in some films: rough! Which is why I figured I'd have go for several films if I did film noir.
(Did you ever do a Gladiator or LA Confidential mood theme or just icons?)
I never did a mood theme for Gladiator or L.A. Confidential. I should! If I ever get my computer back.....boo hoo hoo..... :( I'm trying to figure out what the heck did I do with my life before I got my computer. LOL!
The VK test!
However, does anyone ever feel quixotic? Unlikely! LOL. This one was tough because Rachel, the replicant, has no emotions! At least I could use her for "apathetic, blank, numb," etc.!
Whenever my computer is sick or I'm offline due to some snafu, I'm always at a loss - I do everything online! Look up numbers, research and of course LJ! I'm keeping my fingers crossed you'll be reunited with your baby soon!
;)
*loves your Jenny header*
:)
And mm, who doesn't love Jensen? I don't think I can call him Jenny yet, though, LOL.
