WHY DO YOU LOVE IT?: It’s given me the opportunity to meet and get to know some of my fellow SG sisters. It’s a relaxed and open space where we can all just be ourselves and be open and supportive. There’s a lot of love in that group.
DISCUSSION TIP: Anything goes. The more random the better. We pretty much discuss everything under the sun.
BEST RANDOM QUOTE: “SG is a place where we can make friends or acquaintances with girls from all over the world who share our interests.”
MOST HEATED DISCUSSION THREAD: What? SG’s never fight or argue. EVER. +cough+
WHO’S WELCOME TO JOIN?: The place for SuicideGirls to talk amongst ourselves. Private; SuicideGirls only.
The New Year is off to a good start as nerd rage scores one over the film industry. After the massive amount of complaints surrounding Bane’s voice in The Dark Knight Rises, Warner Bros. has cracked and made it easier to understand in the audio mix. While Christopher Nolan had no intentions of changing the voice, the studio’s fear of the fan outrage won out.
That wasn’t the only news from The Dark Knight Rises to break last week. In an interview with the Los Angeles Times, Anne Hathaway released some previously unknown details about scenes in the film. As if that wasn’t enough, the forty second montage from the prologue was leaked last week, and promptly removed.
Marvel Studios has released a new movie poster for The Avengers. The poster taps into the recent fad for classic looking movie posters. While the art style rather interesting, the poster is just about what you would have expected.
After five years of legal wrangling, the courts have made a decision as to the proper owners of Ghost Rider. No shocker, but Marvel will retain the rights. The case was brought to the court by Gary Friedrich, the modern re-creator of Ghost Rider. Marvel commissioned him to update their original Ghost Rider, a cowboy, and he delivered with the well-known skeleton motorcycle rider. Unfortunately for Mr. Friedrich, he signed over all rights of his character to Marvel, twice. It was on this grounds that the court decided that Marvel would keep all rights, and Friedrich, whose complaint stemmed from being cut out of the profits from the first movie, won’t be seeing profits from the upcoming sequel either. Just a good reminder to all artists to make sure they keep track of their intellectual rights.
Some more legal bullshitting coming out of Marvel; their lawyers are now proposing the case that the X-Men are not human. While the Mutant versus Human status has long been an issue in the comics, this time it’s being used in the real world for capitalistic gain. Certain countries tax less on figures that are not human, and thus, Marvel must insist that the X-Men are not humans. Perhaps these countries should change the wording to ‘humanoid’ to avoid confusion.
The largest scale model of Serenity has been found in the depths of the Universal Archives. The replica builders at Quantum Mechanix came across the model used in the Firefly series and had a chance to take several photos. Someone really should consider rescuing this piece and putting it some sort of science fiction museum, lest it disappears again into the depths, never to be seen again.
One last bit of news, Netflix has released a three minute trailer for their first original series Lilyhammer. It follows the story of an ex-mobster who enters the witness protection program. Sopranos veteran Steven Van Zandt plays the role of the protagonist, Frank ‘The Fixer’ Tagliano. This is the debut original series to come from Netflix, but they have several others in the works, including the final season of Arrested Development.
“I can throw a punch but man, when it comes to gracefulness, I’m definitely on the bottom of the list. I trained for a year ahead of time to get everything right.”
– Milla Jovovich
For the internet crowd Ultraviolet is one of the most highly anticipated movies of the year. Writer/director Kurt Wimmers last film was Equilibrium, which even though it did not do well at the box office, became a major hit on DVD. Equilibrium‘s unique blend of martial arts and guns, called gunkata, has spawned a cult of its own.
In Ultraviolet Milla Jovovich plays Violet who is part of a subculture of humans who have been genetically modified by a vampire-like disease giving them enhanced speed, incredible stamina, and acute intelligence. They are at war with the humans and now Violet must protect a nine-year old boy who has been marked for death by the human government.
I got a chance to talk with Jovovich at the first New York Comicon.
