Yesterday I started my holiday with making screencaps of the original Stargate movie. I'm trying to tell the story as compact as possible but including the details that return in the series.

So far I've noticed a couple of things:

1. Whoa, there are a lot of details that come back in the series!
2. I'm still finding movie Daniel sexy as hell but it doesn't quite come across in screencaps. That's something he has in common with series Daniel. I'm guessing with Daniel it's in the subtle movements.
3. There's no chemistry between movie Daniel and movie Jack. The potential for it is all there; the conflicting way they look at things, the way they learn to appreciate each other. It's in the writing, it's in the acting, it's just not in the combination of Kurt and James.
4. I'm finding it very hard to restrict my caps the moment Kasuf is in the picture; I love that man so damn much, and every cap I make of him is so expressive!
5. Movie Sha'uri convinces me completely, every time. I believe in the immediate bond between her and Daniel. I believe in the way she convinces the guys to stand up against their oppressors.
6. I'm 3/4 into the movie and I've already got 73 caps; you'll be happy to know I plan on using lj-cut. (I'm not even sure it'll all fit in one entry...)

thanks so much! i adore movie Sha're, and one of the things that made me so sad about the series in hindsight was the way they immediately sacrificed the character to make it into a pure buddy show. the movie was, too, of course, but sha're became a plot device in the series, while in the movie she was this VITAL PERSON.

:(.

the Jack/Daniel I love began in the sandstorm, IMHO. That scene where they're collapsing during the escape from Ra, and Jack goes back to protect him when h e falls. And of course the "My orders were simple." scene. That's where I begin to see chemistry.

I actually love RDA a bunch more than KR, tho I love Shanks and Spader equally.

Can't wait to see what you do here. LOVE YOU.

Ok, now I have to go check the movie again, because I thought it was Jack who fell and Daniel going back for him...

Anyway, the one moment for me when I felt there was chemistry between Jack and Daniel (in the movie) is when Daniel asks Jack if he will be all right. I love how Jack looks pleasantly surprised that Daniel would care at all, and after giving it some though coming up with yeah, he thinks he'll be all right actually. That was a lovely moment.

But Richard Dean Anderson... Ah, he made my Jack. And the chemistry between series Jack and Daniel is just wow...

So yeah, you were right about it being Daniel who fell... I always thought I heard Daniel shout 'Jack!', but it's Jack shouting 'Jackson!'. Huh... Bloody noisy sandstorm...

OT, but I just found a whole bunch of Harry/Draco vampire recs! It's such a shame I can't persuade you to try the pairing. It's SOOO good! Heh, talk about especially obsessed.

RC, I'll stop hogging your journal now. :D

I'm all done now and the counter stopped at 179 caps. But that's the compact version! You don't want to know how many caps I've got in total...

Ohh, that's great! You know I'll be very interested to see your caps, when you've finished. And yes, I do hope a certain person will be in there as well (though the term 'person' may be up for debate). ;)

Did I ever mention I have the soundtrack on CD? Would you like a copy? I can rip it and upload it to Megaupload for you, if you want.

Hahahaha!! I don't have many caps of Ra, because I'm not as taken with him as you are, but every one of 'm is dedicated to you :D (I certainly had you in mind when I made them.)

I've got the soundtrack myself, but thanks for the offer!

You're kidding, right? I've just finished uploading, zipping and sending the whole thing. OK, I did not wait for your answer, so it's all my own fault, but still. *huffs* Ehm, do you know anyone else who might like a copy? *g*

Here is the link, in any case: http://www.megaupload.com/nl/?d=NDX2JZUR

And thank you for any Ra caps you may have, and for dedicating them to me, and thinking of me. I hope you'll post the caps very soon. :D

Aw... You could have known chances were high I'd have it, being such a fan of anything and everything concerning Stargate!

The caps will be up in a couple of days. I think...

That's true, but you were always more into the tv shows than the movie, though I know you love the movie as well. It's totally okay. I like having it in my iTunes anyway. :)

BTW, my Stargate CD is very special to me, because I bought it in Greece. Ahh, memories of lying in the sun and listening to it on the DiscMan... *happy grin*

*beams at you*

I don't really have sensible comment at the moment -- my head is pudding -- but I adore watching you be so delightfully fannish.

I love having the time for it now! I spent the better part of 2 days doing those caps, which is a ridiculous waste of time if you think about it, but on the other hand, I had such fun!

And comments are always welcome, sensible or not. In fact I particularly enjoy the beaming 'happy to see you happy' kind :D

I love the movie! I rewatched it a few weeks ago. Though thank god some of the cheesy science they used was retconned in the series. (Abydos on the far side of the universe?)

I guess I rewatch the movie with my J/D goggles firmly on, because I see their relationship shift the moment they get through the wormhole, and the connection happen when Daniel comes back from the dead and he and Jack see each other on the pyramid steps. Though of course I think Daniel's completely taken with Sha'uri as well. Who is also awesomesauce.

Yepyep, there are quite some connection moments. I also love how Jack and Daniel say 'I've got a plan' together, when they know what to do with the bomb. And there are more moments like that, like indeed the one you mention.

I can't help it. I still love the movie so much. And making these caps made me realize how many beautiful scenes and details there are in there.
