Blech.
Really. This is the best they could come up with? I feel like this doesn't say a thing about the story line or the show in general.
LAME!!

I'll take this one please
Is it just me, or does this look way cooler than the live action version they are putting out. Cooler cast too.

Day 5 without a real computer
So I`ve been slumming it on a PC for the last couple days (thank the lord for my ipod or I would have gone postal) as my baby is at the doctors getting a new fan and DVD drive. As a result my blogging has, and will, suck.
in other news here are some delayed and incomplete posts
Marvel has announced Furys new mystery woman slah side kick. Apparently Colbie Smulders is in talks to play maria hill. My fingers are still crossed for Morena Baccarin to show up somewhere

New favorite movie poster
Best posters to come out since Black swan (those were Amazing!). There are such horrible previews and posters for films these days (have you seen the twilight ones!) I'm glad to see a film, especially one that leans towards the sci fi is so lovely.

And the nominees are in!
They really hit the nail on the head with this year worst picture nominees!
Vampires Suck
Eclipse
Sex & the City 2
The Last Airbender
The Bounty Hunter
While I have no seen Vampires Suck or Bounty Hunter, I am assured they both suck(although I feel like in the case of Vampires Suck, it was more like done on purpose) I can definitely vouch for the crappiness of the other films.
Sex in the City 2 was the most Americentric crap I have seen in ages. It's trite, it's insensitive, it's offensive and IT'S NOT FUNNY. I'm not even a fan of the franchise and I really enjoyed the first movie. The second seems to be like the worst episode they ever made with the bigger budget and less graphic sex scenes.
The Last Airbender is so bad there are only 3 things that happen. Some one has a big explanatory speech, some one says "We have to go ___" and that is followed by a big fight scene. They then do the same thing over and over again until the film ends.
The problem with this film is they thought they were so cool, no one would notice how bad the story was. Well guess what, when you treat audiences like they are stupid they figure it out and get pissed! Also the cast should have been a mix of many races (as they are in the comics) instead of the white guys = good guys, non white guys = bad guys, like in this film. Critics accusing this film of "whitewashing" are not wrong. I wonder what Shyamalan was thinking, letting this casting go through. And for someone who usually has a nack for complex scripts this one seems to have been written by a monkey who signed Shyamalans name.
As for Eclipse lets just say the only way I was able to sit through this movie was by playing a drinking game against Taylor Lautners abs (ie everything he was shirtless I would drink). Needless to say I lost horribly and was so drunk I had to be helped out of the theater. My condolences got to the people who are working on the film who actually have talent (ie Melissa Rosenberg, screenwriter), I hope the paycheck was worth it.
I also love that they have a category solely for sequels, prequels and remakes as well as a new category for worse use of 3D.
Any other films you think should have been nominated? Think any of this actors will pull Sandra's or Halle's and actually show up to accept their awards?

Women in Refridgerators
Women in Refrigerators (or WiR[1]) is a website that was created in 1999 by a group of comic book fans. The "Women in Refrigerators Syndrome" describes the use of the death or injury of a female comic book character as a plot device in a story starring a male comic book character. The website features a list of female comic book characters that had been injured, killed, or depowered as a plot device within various superhero comic books. Also, the site seeks to analyze why these plot devices are used disproportionately on female characters.
The term "Women in Refrigerators" was coined by writer Gail Simone as a name for the website in early 1999 during on-line discussions about comic books with friends. It refers to an incident in Green Lantern #54 (1994), written by Ron Marz, in which Kyle Rayner, the title hero, comes home to his apartment to find that his girlfriend, Alex DeWitt, had been killed by the villain Major Force and stuffed in a refrigerator.[2]
Simone and her friends then developed a list of fictional characters, superheroines who had been "killed, maimed or depowered."[3] The list was then circulated via the Internet over Bulletin Board System, e-mail and electronic mailing lists. Simone also e-mailed many comic book creators directly for their responses to the list.
The list is considered “infamous” in certain comic book fan circles.[4] Respondents often found different meanings to the list itself, though Simone maintained that her, "... simple point (had) always been: if you demolish most of the characters girls like, then girls won't read comics. That's it!"
Where was I in the 90's when this was happening? Oh yes, I was a closet feminist with Dial-up.
Some great points in this article. While some of these assumptions may seem unfair, I defiantly agree that if you kill off all of the good relateable female characters, females wont wanna read these. Times have changed, especially with the success of female centric comics, like Buffy etc, but this for sure still happens.

Upcoming theatrical releases
New movies on the event horizon that interest me
Paul.
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
Thats it so far. question, comments, suggestions?

20 TV Sci-Fi Gamechangers
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!

Christmas came early kids!
In the form of this High Def salty goodness
Can't embed

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.

Two weeks is a long time
This is why Fringe is the only show I am actually watching right now. While other shows have become repetitive or simply lost my interest, Fringe continues to be the best show on television. Twice the character development as other shows, all the action, infinite continuity and half the calories! Also it somehow manages to be both funny, touching, and sexy. The bad guys are complex, watchable and exciting, I mean, how much do you love to hate Walternate? And no matter how bad Fauxlivia is, you really wanna like her... at least I do. It's also nice to now have villains we know. And not only do we know them, they are the alt version of the main characters. I can only imagine how interesting it must be for these actors to be playing two sides of these character. The alt teams also allows to have Charlie back (who I missed), and see Olivia in a new team dynamic.
All in all Fringe is the best show on television you are probably not watching. It's the best of Alias and The X-Files all rolled into one.
Anyone else watch Fringe!?! Hit up the comments!

Vampire Sluts
I find this rather hilarious and on the nose! I read Dracula last semester for my Vampires and Popular Culture Class and we discussed this at length. Vampirism and it's evolving metaphors.
