Last summer, X-Men: First Class all but made up for the failures of the previous two movies in the franchise. The prequel was shockingly good, and now the sequel to the prequel is in the works. In an interview with Simon Kinberg, screenwriter of both films, it was revealed that this sequel will focus heavily on Magneto’s storyline and Magneto’s growth as a character into a villain.

The pilot for Arrow is coming along, and thanks to Stephen Amell, who was cast as Green Arrow, we have some insight into the process. Amell keeps a video blog on his Facebook where he answers fan questions. In the last video, he revealed several of the changes he has had to make in training for the part. He also said there is one more major character left to be cast that he knows of.

Last week, I reported about a comic documentary focusing on female super heroes that was seeking funding. Now, the first trailer for that film, WONDER WOMEN! The Untold Story of American Superheroines, is available. The film will make its debut at SXSW.

In a recent interview with Kotaku, Geoff Johns announced DC is working on a Suicide Squad video game. Amongst all of DC’s game projects, John’s is particularly excited about this game because it will present a new conundrum where lead characters can be killed off for real, and it’s not a gimmick. For those not familiar with the Suicide Squad comic, it features prominent DC villains working on government espionage missions, and it is common to see main characters die off each issue.

Doctor Who season seven has begun filming. The first stills from the set have hit the internet. Two more actors have also signed on for the run, Mark Williams (Inspector Lestrade in Sherlock) and David Bradley (Argus Filch from Harry Potter).

Fear not Community fans. Show creator, Dan Harmon, tweeted the show will be returning on March 15th. Community will be back on Thursday nights at 8 PM. Let’s just hope it doesn’t go off air again, it’s was starting to feel like another Arrested Development scenario for a moment.

Amongst vampire and werewolf killing presidents, another historical fiction story has been optioned by Hollywood. I Killed Adolf Hitler has been picked up by Studio Eight. The Eisner Award winning graphic novel follows the adventures of a hitman and his complications with travelling back in time to kill Hitler.

Netflix has pulled another one over on cable and premium television. The Weinstein Company announced a deal that will make its movie releases exclusive to Netflix members. The studio has become well known for its production of Oscar award winning movies. Those same movies will be joining the internet revolution.

A column which highlights Suicide Girls and their fave groups.

[Rourke Suicide in Croft]

This week Rourke takes a shot at explaining why she loves SG’s Girl Gamers group.

Members: 838 / Comments: 3,402

WHY DO YOU LOVE IT?: A less testosterone-filled, but still sometimes competitive, take on the world of gaming. It’s always great to see what others are playing, share opinions, and get stoked for new releases with other ladies. Also, breaking the stereotype of nerdy boy gamers and proving that talented and knowledgeable gamers can be fun, sexy, badass, and female!



Also, on a side note, Oogie recently started a new blog called Teek’s Gitties for pictures of all us nerdy gamer gals to post sexy pics with our gaming gear! You can find the thread here.

DISCUSSION TIP: Firstly, use your spoilers! No one wants parts or the ending of a game they’ve been working hard on and/or enjoying ruined for them. Also, remember that everyone has their favorite type of game, so bring respect and don’t be overly competitive.



BEST RANDOM QUOTE: “[Store Harassment] Have any of ya’ll ladies ever experienced this? When you step into a game retailer and for some reason guys think it’s okay to start holla-ing at you like they’ve never seen a girl before?”



MOST HEATED DISCUSSION THREAD: “Best Zelda Game Ever?” – Who can really decide?!



WHO’S WELCOME TO JOIN?: Girls (only) gamers (obviously)!

“The trick with dark comedies is to bring the audience in and then push them away. But you don’t want to leave them out there in the cold.” – Pierce Brosnan

The Matador is one of the funniest pictures of the year and it will definitely make my top five. It just doesn’’t get better than a hitman [Pierce Brosnan] who has a nervous breakdown during his latest gig and hightails it to Denver to hook up with a salesman [Greg Kinnear] he met in Mexico City.

Pierce Brosnan is just as charming, playful and fun in person as he is in his films. He came into the room with Colonel Sanders like facial hair and invited us all to make fun of him. But I figured “How can a white guy from Long Island, like me, possibly make fun of James Bond? It just doesn’’t compute.

[SG Photographer DarrylDarko]

[Rambo in A Day With A Suicide Girl.]

[Carrina in A Day With A Suicide Girl.]

DarrylDarko has been a photographer for SuicideGirls since 2009. He lives in San Jose, California and has been working on an interesting SG side project called “A Day With A Suicide Girl.” So far he’s shot Rambo and Carrina for this series.

How did you first get involved with SuicideGirls?

I had known about SuicideGirls for a really long time, and the site has always drawn me in one way or another, but I didn’t get involved with the site until I found Saint, on Model Mayhem. I had never really thought about seriously shooting for the site until I met her and after a first initial test shoot we decided to shoot a set. That set, luckily was bought and kind of started my road down the SuicideGirls path. However, it would be awhile though before things really got rolling.

What’s your background photography-wise?

I’m almost completely self-taught, other than taking a few courses from some community colleges. I had been shooting for a while already, and they were basic courses I kinda felt I would benefit from to kind of put a bit of structure to all the information I already knew. Looking back, I kind of wish I had gone to something a bit more interactive and challenging than just those courses, but something about art school classes was off-putting.

[You Never Forget Your First…Published Photo]

What was the first photo you had published?

I had entered the Crossroads Trading Company fashion contest with this shot. It won an “Honorable Mention” and they bought the rights to it. At some point in the future after that happened, one of my friends told me to that they were using it at Crossroads stores in Portland as a poster so that was pretty cool at the time.

How would you describe your style?

It’s funny how shooting for the site has changed my style. I used to be more into outlandish ideas and wanting to really shoot stuff that was just “different.” With SG sets, I do like the idea of trying to capture the girl as naturally as possible, that’s why I kinda stay away from pinup-ish poses because that’s not the girl, that would be more of an act they’re doing. I’m trying to find a happy balance between the two. I’m still working on that.

What gear do you use?

I used to use a Canon 5D, but have switched to the 7D for the time being. I use 35mm, 50mm, and 24-105mm lenses. I want to go back to full-frame badly.

How important is Photoshop in your final images?

Fairly important. I’m able to give photos an extra punch and screw with the colors to make them stand out more, plus smooth out whatever flaws the picture may have, but I try to stay away from making things look fake.

What gives you ideas and inspires you to create such amazing sets?

I’d say some of the biggest inspirations are found on the site itself. Before I started shooting for the site Cymagen‘s personal work was a big factor in getting me to shoot more. Since I’ve been on site, Cherry, Sean and Vermelho were bigger influences. I also had a lot of inspiration from movies and music videos. What I really want to work on more is having a narrative to sets so they’re not just ‘a girl getting naked’ so I’ve been looking to more editorial shoots and photographers who specialize in that lately.


[Silvi in Silvi Strikes Back]

What is your favorite image?

[Above.] I don’t think I could narrow it down to just one but this one of Silvi is one of my favorites.

Tell us why it’s your fave and how you achieved it?

It’s one of my favorites because as an image it just seems so perfect. The light wraps around her body really nicely giving it this comforting “bathed in light” feel. This shot was achieved by light coming through the window in the front, but also there was light coming through a window on the left-hand side but it bounced off the ground, which was hard wood and gave it that nice side lighting. Some minor Photoshop enhancements and that’s what you get. The funny story about shooting this set was that when we arrived at the location I found that my camera’s battery was dead, despite me charging it the night before. Luckily my friend’s roomate had a Rebel and I was able to use that camera with one of my lenses. Everything worked out in the end.

Is there anybody or anything you would love to photograph that you haven’t? (And tell us why)

Yes, I have an entire list of girls on site that I’d love to shoot someday. I’ll just list three:

– 1. Patton – because she defines ‘blonde bombshell’ perfectly. I’ve been told I have a thing for blondes though…

– 2. Radeo – because she’s Radeo.

– 3. GoGo – she has this awesome presence in photos and is the perfect mix of a supermodel and SuicideGirl.

“Loyalty is really not something that you hear a lot about in the entertainment world…” – Seth Rogen

At the young age of 23, Seth Rogen has had a comedy career equal to a Tim Kazurinsky or Charles Rocket. He’’s improvised with the some of the best comedic actors in the world in films like Anchorman and the television show Undeclared.

Both those projects were connected with Judd Apatow, who first discovered Rogen and cast him in the cult classic TV series Freaks and Geeks [created by Paul Feig]. But Rogen has been waiting to star in an R-rated movie like The 40-Year-Old Virgin for many years because now he can curse his face off.

I got a chance to talk with Rogen about the unrated DVD of The 40-Year-Old Virgin, his improv skills, and the upcoming feature he will be starring in.
