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...)

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.

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...

Date: 2008-07-22 12:24 pm (UTC)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.

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

Date: 2008-07-22 05:28 pm (UTC)And comments are always welcome, sensible or not. In fact I particularly enjoy the beaming 'happy to see you happy' kind :D

Date: 2008-07-22 03:25 pm (UTC)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.
