Outrage over Hit-Girl starting already

Monday, April 12th, 2010

So io9 posted a story on how there’s outrage over the Hit-Girl character already.  First of all, if you’re bringing your kid to an R-rated movie, you’re probably not a good parent anyway… so shame on you.  Second, if your kid is not smart enough to know that they shouldn’t be going around shooting people in the head with a gun, then you probably did a bad job as a parent already… so shame on you again. Finally, it’s an adult movie.  Yeah it’s graphic, but isn’t a war movie just as graphic, if not worse?

The Sorcerer’s Apprentice Trailer

Wednesday, April 7th, 2010

Disney’s releasing a Fantasia inspired movie, The Sorcerer’s Apprentice, starring Nic Cage.  Looks pretty good.  This summer is lining up to be a geek-filled extravaganza!

Scott Pilgrim v. The World Trailer

Wednesday, April 7th, 2010

Looks like another comic to movie transfer, of the Scott Pilgrim comic series.  I didn’t know much about the comic so I looked up the Scott Pilgrim wikipedia entry.  Looks like a pretty interesting series and something i’d probably watch.  I like the adult themed super hero movies coming out, instead of the ones targeting kids.  Here’s the trailer:

Interview with Jane Goldman, the Kick-ass screenwriter

Tuesday, April 6th, 2010

The Guardian has an interview with the Kick-ass screenwriter, Jane Goldman.   I love her take on the Hit-Girl character.  Jane Goldman bends the idea of that trash talking heroes can only be men (or boys).  If it was a little boy, we react differently thinking its cool/funny, but the moment you make it a little girl, there’s an uproar of the language and violence that comes from her.  I think that slap in the face to the view is pretty awesome, and I can’t wait to see it (April 16th in the US).  However, I don’t think everyone will see it the same way I do.  For everyone not reading into it as much as I do, I think it may turn some people off.  *shrug* That’s life, not everyone is going to agree!

I think this movie would still suck…

Monday, March 29th, 2010

I think this movie would still probably suck (meredith at io9 disagrees).  Of course, if Anniston was able to use a light saber and show off some serious sword play it’d make up for her bad acting! (sorry. you’re still hot tho.)

Kick-ass: Looking pretty kick-ass

Monday, March 22nd, 2010

So i’ve been seeing a ton of trailers for Kick-ass on the web, but none on TV.  Good idea.  Showed my wife the Hit-girl trailer and she wasn’t down with little girls running around and shooting ppl in the head.  whatevs…

Be warned, Kick-ass is a R rated film, and it’s pretty graphic even though it looks like a kids film.
