TGIF With A Lovely Cat/Movie Mash-Up!

The Hobbit Trailer Is Here

We only have to wait AN ENTIRE YEAR.

I loved The Ring trilogy, though I must confess that in rewatching them, I fast forwarded through the singing bits and Samwise's endless discussions with Frodo on mountain sides and bogs and such. Then I would replay everything with Cate Blanchett in it and slow-mo the really gory bits. I would also like to say that I had a big old soft spot for Karl Urban as Eomer but then he went and got all nerdy in Star Trek when he played Bones. Seriously, what a lady-boner killer! Blech.

The Dark Knight Rises Trailer

It's the rich versus the poor. How topical. At any rate, I got chills. That Nolan is quite the director, even if he does have questionable skill in choosing his female leads. Plus, Hines Ward! I was not expecting that. Color me super excited.

The Hunger Games Trailer

It looks good, and guaranteed to be upsetting. Only one comes out alive. Can we throw Taylor in there too?

Truth In Advertising

Here's the awesomely honest commercial for Immortals which opens on Friday. It has half naked muscular men killing each other, hot chicks in slinky ancient Greek slutwear, and epic special effects. I may sit through this one twice. Naked.

Robert Downey Jr. In Drag?

NOT a good look for him. 


The movie opens just before Christmas.

Grace Kelly Barbie

Oh dear. Must have.

I have a very small collection of Barbies. Star Trek (geek), Britney in her 'Oops, I did it Again' outfit, and Cher, to name a few. This new one of Grace Kelly from To Catch A Theif? I'm apoplectic! It is gorgeous! 

When I was little, I wanted to be her, or Joan Fontaine from Rebecca. Was obsessed. Still am.

That Danvers bitch. She got what she deserved.

Bonus Kitty gif for Chemgal after the jump.

Little Thor

Yeah, it's a rip-off of the Vader VW commercial, but it's still cute. The actual movie opens May 6th starring Chris Hemsworth and Anthony Hopkins as Odin. They're filming The Avengers here in Cleveland this Summer and I'm applying for some extra work. It's not so I can slink around the set getting pictures of RDJ or Jeremy Renner or anything. I need the money for our dog accessory start-up, I swear!

R.I.P. Jane Russel

They don't make them like they used to. Such glamour!

What can you say about Jane? She started her career in the movie The Outlaw and those bawdy half naked movie stills made her an international sex symbol. We all know her from Gentleman Prefer Blondes and those famous pictures of a sundress wearing Jane and Marilyn putting their handprints in cement outside Grauman's Chinese Theater. 

What you may not know is that she couldn't have children because of a back street abortion so she adopted three of them, one from a poor Irish woman. This inspired her to create World Adoption International Fund, paving the way for Brangelina and a whole host of foreign baby lovers. This is how she described heself in her later life- "These days I am a teetotal, mean spirited right wing, narrow minded conservative Christian bigot, but not a racist."

Okee dokee then!

Movie Insult Mash-Up

Some of these are really bad, but some are great.

Omnimax Whatchamacallits Are HUGE

We went to the Science center here in St. Louis yesterday, and while it was full of slobber goblins and their enablers, we managed to have a good time in the McDonnell-Douglas Space Exhibit. 
This is the room where they run the film for the Omnimax movies, like 'Flight Yada Yada' and 'Boogers: Close-Up.' I wish I was lying, but that's what they called it. 


What? I'm not kidding. Google it if you don't believe me!

Poof!

Gay? I don't know. I think he swings both ways.

The Mirror

Wow. This past week has had some depressing moments. At least I don't live in a town like one depicted below. At least I don't live where the sun doesn't shine for three months of the year. Oh wait, I do! Yay Rust Belt!

The Grim Reaper Has Been Up To No Good Again

First it was Dio, a true original and inspiration to metal heads like me everywhere. Then it was Mr. McSlore's amazing grandfather. You could fill a book on what he did in the first half of his life alone, kinda like his grandson. Then my cousin got hit by a car and died in the emergency room. Wait, 'hit' isn't the right word. Pulverised, that sounds more accurate. Her car tumbled into a ravine as he skidded to a stop another 50 yards down the road.

So, that's three, right? Enough, but sadly, there's four. The real person that inspired Geena Davis's character in A League of Their Own died last week as well. I love that movie. I was surprised when I realised that we don't own it. We have 'It's Alive' on DVD, but not that? I love my horror too but that is just insane.

Anyhoo, Dottie was old, she'd lived a long life, and she is another one that inspires to this day. So does the movie. If I had a nickel for every time someone says, "There's no crying in ______," I'd have a lot of nickels, maybe even enough for some popcorn and a soda at a game.

Hug and kiss your loved ones. It's what Marla Hooch would have wanted.

Trash Humpers

That is the title of a new strange film by Harmony Korine. I'm guessing that the premise is a comment on American culture and it's love of the lowest common denominator. It looks weird and non-sensical in that art house way that is so popular with film students. The film is so all over the place that it makes Pink Flamingos look like it was written and performed by The Actor's Studio. John Waters will probably give it five stars.

Kick Ass Hit Girl Trailer

There is a tiny uproar in the media over the character of Hit Girl in the new movie Kick Ass. Some say it's just as inappropriate for a pre-teen girl to engage in comic book style violence as it is to show her sexualised in any way. All I have to ask is- would it be any better if it was Hit Boy? Plus, it was a complete shocker to hear words like 'cunts' and 'fuck' come out of her mouth. I'll wait until I see it to pass any sort of judgement on the film but I have to be honest. I laughed. At least she's killing bad guys, right?

Good Girls Finish Last

I don't honestly believe that. I'm just busy feeling really sorry for Sandra Bullock because of her cheating husband. She was good to his kids, works her butt off so you and I can enjoy the 9 bucks we shell out to see one of her movies, and she's the epitome of class. Have you ever EVER heard anyone say anything bad about her? From someone who wasn't a jealous cow?
The answer is no.
She even classed up the Razzie Awards by making light of herself with a wagon full of All About Steve DVDs. It couldn't have happened to a more sweet woman. So sad, BUT. But. To paraphrase something I read on Roger Ebert's Twitter- If you can't trust a biker named Jesse James after he leaves his pregnant pornstar wife for you, I don't know who you can trust.
I need a palate cleanse. Here's the wonderful Jason Bateman in a new movie trailer for the film he did with that Aniston wench. God, I hope she doesn't stink up the screen too badly.

And Nightowl from Watchmen is in it too. I might actually rent this at some point.
