Sad news coming out today. Geraldine Doyle, the inspiration for Rosie the Riveter has died. Poster child for the war time American Women movement, encouraging women to leave the home and begin working in factories, she was just 17 years old when artist J Howard Miller took her photograph wearing a red polka dot bandanna and leaning over a machine. The "We can do it" motto and poster have since become a iconic image for women's workers rights and feminism in general.
This is interesting! While I can't attest to the credibility of this information, this news is very exciting. I'm sure they aren't gonna do Tudyk AND Fillion, just Tudyk would be amazing! He was amazing in both Firefly as well as in Dollhouse, two roles which are extremely different, but equally as complex and satisfying so I feel that he could definitely embody the role of super hero very well. And with an established director like Wright helming this I feel like this is in good hands. All that's left to do is brush up on my Ant Man universe. Looking froward to the upcoming developments of this projects. Double bonus for him having a cameo in Avengers!
Every since I watched Spaced this man can do no wrong. Seriously, look it up, british TV show, 2 season f GOLD! Then with Shaun of the Dead and Star Trek (ya I liked it, make fun all you want) the guy is really just a genius. Paul looks like it will be equally as funny, and with a great supporting cast, I'm definitely not going to miss this one.
Tron.
So the early reviews suck. I'm still totally gonna g see it. I can't help it, i'm a sucker for these kinds of spectacles... and Garrett Hedlund
Original Trailer
Take Me Home Tonight.
Can't resist a coming of age Comedy with Anna Farris and an Eddie Money song as the title. Also for some reason I can really relate to working a crap job while waiting for life to happen. + Chris Pratt and Micheal Bien are in this!
Sucker Punch
Stunning visuals, kick ass femmes )including Jenna Malone, and one of the Carradines. I'm there!
Avengers.
And it's all the more epic when SLJ narrates it. *SIGH* Can't wait till they start filming and put out a real trailer. Can't believe Montreal lost out on having this filmed here.
Thor.
I love that they cast a relatively unknown guy for this. This whole emerging Marvel-verse is very exciting. Sure it's not what all of the die hards are looking for, but for the non die hard coming book readers such as myself, this film is very appealing. And with Nathalie Portman involved it's gonna be good! Lets be honest, she's one of the greatest actresses of our generation. Along with Captain America (love the flash back) this and avengers are what I cam most looking forward too Marvel-wise.
Black Swan.
Speaking of Nathalie Portman... This movie looks like a total mind fuck and I can't wait. Also Vincent Cassel is a god among men. nuff said.
Red Riding Hood.
I find that Hardwick really does have a fantastic vision. I like that she's taken this and given it that goth, sexy, magical spin.
Somewhere.
Might not head to the theater of this one but I can't resist and SC film with Stephen Dorff in it
Country Strong.
What can I say, I've got a soft spot of country music. Also Garrett Hedlund
Would you look at that! The first episode is on youtube! As annoying as it is to find something on youtube due to all the crap, it realy does have everything!
great list over @ SFX about big ga.e changers in show, personal favorite like BTVS, Fringe, X-Files and Start Trek Next Gen are in there. Good mix of game changers for better and for worse.
I keep seeing references to Blakes 7... I really need to get on that!
Thats right boys and girls, IT'S THOR! Along with Captain American this is, the supe movie I am most looking forward too. Hot good guys, evil lookin' villians and Natalie Portman (who really can do no wrong) should be a good one.
