Love and Other Drugs

[raeschae]

Have you ever seen a trailer for a movie and you just know that you shouldn't see it because you're going to cry until someone writes an adaptation of it? Or until you do it yourself?

I just saw one and now I want this movie in my life more than I want chocolate or sex or air.

Also, I want to read fic where one or both guys are trying to 'keep it simple' and 'not get attached.' Any suggestions?

..I thought that when I went to go see Dear John. It made me cry and then I read the J2 version someone wrote and I cried again lol.

[raeschae.livejournal.com]

I still haven't seen that one. I've heard it has that effect on people, though. ;)

[getupandgo-25.livejournal.com]

I recommend it, it was good however I will admit the only reason I went to go see it was because Channing Tatum was in it. haha :)

Hey! That's "Ten Inch Hero" music at the end there.

This looks like it'll be a 'good cry' movie.

I was having lunch/watching Ricky Martin on Oprah with two of my best girls and we already made a date to go see it. After we are totally going to our favorite dessert place and sharing something chocolate and decadent. ;D

ETA: I just watched it again and on a completely shallow note, I am completely jealous of her hairstylist for this film. That's my exact type of hair. If I could actually get it to look that good myself I'd probably ditch my beloved flat iron. OMG so much love for the hair.

[raeschae.livejournal.com]

It DOES. I'm not a big cryer but I think this one's going to get me.

[raeschae.livejournal.com]

You just reminded me that I recorded that and need to watch it!

And I texted my BFF as soon as I saw the commercial and told her that we're going!!

[raeschae.livejournal.com]

OMG, YES on the hair thing, too.

There's a moment where she runs her hand through her hair and I just thought 'my curls would never stand up to that!' So jealous.

[maichan808.livejournal.com]

DO WANT, except for the title.

[raeschae.livejournal.com]

I like the title. I could do without the Viagra angle, but whatever. It's so much pretty and so much sexy and so much HAPPY.

[maichan808.livejournal.com]

How many Love and Other... movies do we need though? They couldn't come up with anything better?

[velvetsun.livejournal.com]

Aww, I want to see that. It looks good and admittedly will make me cry. I agree we need this fic.

And I know I've read fic like you're asking for, but for the life of me, I can't think past this headache atm. Sorry. I'll see if I can find any in my mems for you.

[raeschae.livejournal.com]

I'm guessing they probably think 'We have Jake Gyllenhaal and Anne Hathaway having sex. Do we really need creativity on top of that?'

[raeschae.livejournal.com]

I totally understand - if you think of something, hit me up later!

Where did you read the J2 version of Dear John? I would love to read it!

Title: And Heartbreak Ensues
Author: tinalia
Beta'd By: chez_amanda and boltgirl426
Fandom: Supernatural J2 RPS - AU
Pairing: Jared/Jensen
Rating: NC-17
Word Count: TBC
Summary: Jensen is a newly ‘out of the closet’ gay man ready for his first big gay romance. Jared is everything he never knew he wanted - sexy, carefree and willing to try anything once. Trouble is, Jared doesn’t do relationships.

This fic is awesome so far! I'm on part 6 out of 7 so I don't know how it ends, but I love what I've already read. :D

[veritas-conner.livejournal.com]

ooooo, i wanna see!!! I've actually always been fond of movies with Anne Hathaway in them, and this one seems like a sweet'n'sour touch to it.

[batman-mcghee.livejournal.com]

oh. this. yes, do want. and yes, i'd love to see a j2 type fic of this movie. however, i don’t know that i would want this movie more than i want sex. i mean, sex is awesome. i have some awesome sex. with an awesome partner. i dont know how my partner would feel knowing i want a movie more than i wanted sex... ;)

[sonyat76.livejournal.com]

me too! I'd love to read the J2 version of Dear John.

[raeschae.livejournal.com]

Thanks for the rec!

[raeschae.livejournal.com]

I love her, too! I'm so excited!!!

[raeschae.livejournal.com]

Sex is good. Jake Gyllenhaal and Anne Hathaway TOGETHER might be better. Maybe. Probably not but maybe. :D

[sothcweden.livejournal.com]

It has Anne Hathaway, therefore I am at least somewhat interested in it. No fic suggestions, but I hope you find some.

[raeschae.livejournal.com]

Thanks! I hope so, too!!

[jesseofthenorth.livejournal.com]

I just recced this over at mine a few days ago. It Is Fantastic. This definitely in my all time top ten. You do yourself a disservice if you don't read it

[hope-above-all.livejournal.com]

I have this problem where I pretty much want J2 adaptations of EVERY movie I watch, doesnt even matter what it is about :) but this one? YES! most definitely. This website http://community.livejournal.com/j2_recs has tons of awesome stories organised by theme, and there's one tag about anonymous sex with stories what will probably fit what you're looking for.

[hope-above-all.livejournal.com]

Your disclaimer verse is even recced here, jst btw!

[mr-mrs-faxsea.livejournal.com]

I have a rec for you.

The Alpha Pack
Summary: J2 Werewolf AU. Jensen Ackles is the Alpha of the Dallas werewolf pack. Now at the age of 30, he’s looking for a permanent mate. Jared Padalecki is a wild and reckless cub. He’s fascinated with the Alpha, but Jared is no one’s Beta.
http://www.sinful-desire.org/archive/viewstory.php?sid=2872

It is a interesting and well written AU world. And the story of the attraction between the J's is very nicely spun out.

I'm sure she does have what I'm looking for! I love that site SO MUCH!!!

[raeschae.livejournal.com]

I think I saw this one somewhere once. It sounds familiar.

Thanks for the rec!

[blondie-lottie.livejournal.com]

I'd rec you something but I'm too busy trying to find out when this movie will hit the screens in the UK?!

Anything with Jake Gyllenhaal and Anne Hathaway wins me over and I don't really like rom-com movies as a rule.

I love the look on his face at 1:02 in the trailer and the laugh right at the very end too. - le sigh.

[mr-mrs-faxsea.livejournal.com]

Its not a very new fic but I only just came across it.
The only thing that bothers me is the fact that the author thought it necessary to change the names of Jared and Jensens family members.
Why? What is wrong with their real names? You are already writing RPS so why not let people keep their own names? aaaarch! (end of rant)

[raeschae.livejournal.com]

Some people feel uncomfortable using the names of their family members because they're not celebrities. The guys and their wives have all submitted themselves to the public eye and are therefore "fair game" but using their actual families, who have made no such concession, is squicky for some people. Changing their names feels a little less invasive, I guess.

That's one of those things that varies so much from person to person but I can see it from both sides.

[raeschae.livejournal.com]

RIGHT? Guh.

And I love that look on his face, too! I pretty much love every look on his face, though. So. :)

[blondie-lottie.livejournal.com]

Ditto. Jake Gyllenhaal can do no wrong in my books.

Apparently we'll get it in the UK for 29th December so I'll be pestering my baby brother to get me pre-release staff tickets then :D

[nickgregfan.livejournal.com]

I would rec you something...but ummm since you wrote them all it would be pointless. LOL

[mr-mrs-faxsea.livejournal.com]

Yes I know.
But this is one of the things that squicks me! I don't mind other actors being cast in the role of parent.
And I don't mind if the whole configuration of the family is changed complete with totally different names.
But I can't seen to get past slightly altered names for the boys family members :-( Wen I read it my mind keeps trying to correct the altered name and it breaks the flow of reading. Guess that is just me being odd

[katiebugs18.livejournal.com]

It's from this years Big Bang so you may have read it but Screw You We're From Texas" (http://makeit-takeit.livejournal.com/7249.html#cutid1) is close to what you're looking for. It deals with deeper issues than just the boys trying to keep it casual but it's epic and amazing and beautiful. I can't recommend it enough.

[taintedlove.livejournal.com]

WHY WHY WHY DOES IT HAVE TO BE ANNE HATHAWAY? I want this movie SO MUCH but I can't stand her. But I guess Jake Gyllenhal will be able to make up for it with his hnnnngh.

And, OMG, this is just DYING to be J2. I can't WAIT to see it! <3
