Jules: As fans we get to see a little of what you have to cut in making an episode, from the gag reel and deleted scenes that are included on the DVD. You must also have a lot of material for the gag reel?
Jimmy: Oh, with the boys, are you kidding me? Those guys are constantly making each other laugh. Some of it is actually labelled gag by the director! But nine times out of 10 we find it at the end of a scene or in the middle of a scene. One of the things we’re doing on “Shaving People, Punting Things” is a gag that happened in the middle of a scene and we kind of re-cut it and did some things to it.
Jared and Jensen are constantly trying to get each other to break. Jensen is hard to be broken; that guy can just put his face on and just go. It’s very rare that I see Jared break Jensen, although it does happen. Jared throws everything at him including the kitchen sink. He did a whole scene where he was saying all his lines in Spanish, and Jensen just kept going, just kept acting. It was amazing.
Jared and Jensen are so good at what they do, it’s not even funny. I mean, they are Sam and Dean. I would love for you guys to see footage of them busting each other up to the point where they can’t even talk and the director goes, “Okay, settle and action”, and they snap right back into character. Even when they mess around, they will come back and give you exactly what you need. They’re just incredible at it. They’re so good.
I think the true brilliance of Jared and Jensen is that you can see how much they appreciate that this is a once in a lifetime thing. You never hear them complain; they are always giving it their all. It’s great to see actors who appreciate that because it’s so rare that you get this. This is gold, it is lightning striking … and usually, it doesn’t strike twice. (superwiki link)
Not quite in sync but understandable Jared had just finished performing for the 1st time. Proud Munchkins
Damn, how much he’s feeling hot, I think Jared’s fingers also humid…oh.
here’s what I think about a lot
Dean just kneeling in the mud for a long long time till its soaked through his jeans and into the tops of his boots, till Sam’s skin has started to go cold, cause standing up means admitting that it happened, and really mud’s not so bad
Sam crying himself into a half-sleep and waking up beside Dean’s body and remembering all over again, and carrying Dean’s body out and having to bury it, having to decide whether to put it in a coffin, whether to change the shirt and if so what of his t-shirts would Dean have liked to be buried in?
The second night at Lisa’s when Dean turns to tell Sam something and Sam’s not there and he remembers where Sam is and Lisa comes into the room and says “do you want pasta or rice?”
The few minutes after Dean disappears in a Leviathan implosion and Sam eventually goes outside and just stands there looking at the car and something in him sits down and curls into the fetal position
