there's a new trailer for "let me in" - the american remake of the fantabulous "let the right one in". okay, look, maybe, just maybe kodi smith is more attractive than the swedish oskar. but now, the american version of the vampire girl is just a pale copy of eli, who is one of my favourite female characters ever.what i dislike most about the american trailer is the fact that the seem very interested in making it look unnecessarily scary. *headdesk. the original was so fab especially because there wasn't any "look! there's a vampire girl!! no, srsly, she kills people!! scary scary scary!!! aren't you people scared yet???" 



the tagline rocks though "she will keep you safe. she will keep you close. she will keep you forever"

oh, yeah, gravity who might not be as great as i first thought. maybe it's just the description but i can't help it if "hugely-CGI heavy" and "a team of astronauts — including the lead medical engineer and a talkative "mile-a-minute" veteran astronaut — who are asked to abandon their fix-it Hubble telescope mission and quickly reboard their ship after a sudden implosion of Russian satellites triggers a debris avalanche in orbit that threatens their immediate safety. It's basically a very high concept sci-fi thriller and a nonstop race for our protagonists to get back to earth." are not appealing to me. i feel betrayed alfonso cuaron. i mean, you made great expectations. i wanted love story in space, not another version of avatar...

Alan Ball gave away the biggest clue to "True Blood" season 3 by spilling on who took Bill at the end of the second season. In his revealing interview with Michael Ausiello of Entertainment Weekly, the creator of the vampire series even offered the question himself. [Spoiler Alert] He said, the person using silver chain to abduct Bill was Hoyt's mother, Maxine.

Whether he was joking or not, the possibility seemed distant because Maxine hardly has any motive to take Bill as hostage. Also, the mysterious person wore a pair of black gloves while holding the silver chain, which leads to the speculation that it may as well be someone who is susceptible to silver, vampires. (ERIC COMES TO MIND FOR NO REASON WHATSOEVER HERE. IT'S NOT LIKE HE SAID HE'LL TAKE CARE OF BILL PERSONALLY)

Ball was indeed in teasing mode when he conducted the interview with EW, confirming some things but stopping when it came to the spoilery bits. Asked why Eric did not play a big part on the September 13 finale, he said "There is a reason for not seeing Eric in the last part of the episode (no, there is no absolutely no reason for that...), but if I explain it, I'll be [giving away] too much." He added that Eric will still be a major character in the third season. (YAY!)

Among those he confirmed to be a story in third season are 'what Sookie really is', 'Queen Sophie-Anne meets King of Mississippi', 'Sam's blood relatives', 'Fellowship of the Sun still exists', 'possible Jason-Tara romance', 'vulnerable Lafayette' and 'Hoyt and Jessica have problems'.(what about the eric sookie romance? dude, the book says they end up together so you'd better do that)

Most importantly, Ball gave an update on the production, saying they have "broken four episodes" and he has "sent writers out to write scripts over the hiatus." Revealing that shooting will begin before Christmas, Ball predicted season 3 will come around the same time as season 2, which is June next year. (WHY SO LATE, I HATE YOU PEOPLE!! I HAVE TO WAIT AN ENTIRE YEAR FOR THE THIRD SEASON??)

On another news, Tony-winning actor Denis O'Hare has been cast to be King of Mississippi.

there is blood galore! and dead maenads! and raging bulls! And Eric plays that dice game with the vampire queen of Louisiana! Because Eric is that awesome - also, the grey suit helps! also, Bill proposes to Sookie while Eric isn't looking but we're left with the question "who strangled the vampire?". So it's all back to square one and now i can't wait for season 3!

first of all, i saw napoleon dynamite. jolly good film, v funny, prooves that sometimes humor is not limited to fart/sex jokes.
then TAH DAH!! Brand new New Moon trailer, OMG Edward is also half-naked, whee! at this rate, Eclipse is going to be rated R whereas Braking Dawn is going to have an X painted all over the screen. and David Cronenberg is going to direct is (C-section performed by a vampire, anyone??)



also, the finale of True Blood.

that's what eric asks in episode 11 of season 2. it doesn't get any more clear than that. and then there's a standoff with vampire bill who's all " you're pathetic, eric" but eric isn't phased out or anything. that's my vampire.
also eric likes kids (and not in a vampire way) and that adds extra points to his awesomeness. he does tricks for them, y inclus the superman take off.
long story short - episode 11 is sort of a "in between" episode. everyone - vampire humans and shapeshifers - runs around to solve the maryann problem. we get to see the vampire queen of louisiana (btw, that dainty leg wan't hers) and bill is stuck with a long match of game with dice whose name in english i can't find right now.
and of course we have the cliffhanger at the end where sookie is surrounded by a lot of bug-eyed people - including lafayette. i am dissapointed in you, lafayette.
on a related note - district 9 is the best alien movie i've ever seen. and it confirms my theory about what humankind would actually do if we ever meet aliens - chop 'em up! kill 'em all! experiment on 'em! horde them in slums! and then you wonder why they don't dare approaching us.

the latest True Blood episode.
Also, Beyond Here Lies Nothin'. Just awesome

that's yet another new moon trailer (fanmade). and it has shirtless edward! NO, REALLY. and to think edward was supposed to have long flowing hair (heeeeeeee!) the volterra scene would have been a complete louis rip-off.
or maybe he could have been a rock-star. flowing hair and red velvet jacket. truly. and aro looks nothing like i imagined. caius is kinda cool though. i am having issues with the bright red eyes though ... they're more like stoplights than crimson-menacing.
and bella just filmed her graduation scene. awwwwwww!
also, i am doing a radio show about movies! well, technically today i had the second show, yet it was better than the first. whee!

*bill compton has a Wii! Whee! i like vampire bill so much better now!
so, sookie, jason and bill go back to bontemps from texas. bill travels in a specially designed case, courtesy of anubis airlines or sth. meanwhile, sookie has another freaky nasty dream where she consoles eric northman who cries tears of blood. and she kisses his cheeks and eric does the seduction thing and his fangs pop (AHAHAHAHA... *special note to people of true blood - please do sth about the fangs. it's just too hilarious when they pop like that. also, vampires running around shouldn't look like a scene from a benny hill sketch. but i'm being fussy about things now)
they finally arrive in bontemps where maryann has taken over and everyone has bug-eyes and the crazy. except sam (because he's a shapeshifter), andy (probably because he drinks too much), lafayette (because he's too awesome, but in a different way than eric) and tara's mom (because she repented? or maybe because she already works for a different god and doesn't go to parties? i don't know..)
anyway, the stackhouses are back in town to save everybody. sookie confronts maryann (look, if someone did that mess to my house i'd rip her head off too. supernatural creature or not) but maryann goes bwahahhaaha and threatens her at which point bill steps in and chugs the maenad's neck. apparently maenad blood ain't good for vamps, because bill starts throwing up like whoa and so, it's up to sookie and her secret sparkle to save his ass. yes sookie does a sparkly thing with her hands (spoilers ahead: she's got fairy blood)and bill is WOW, how did you do that!
sookie: no time, chop chop!
on the way to safety, bill goes a little emo about not being able to protect sookie (AGAIN)
sookie:we should call Eric. like, totally.
bill: *barf barf barf WHA...? NO, YOU HOR, WE DON'T CALL NO ERIC! *barf barf... also, give me some of your blood, i'll be just fine.
sookie: does it. and everyone knows she should have called Eric because not even a Maenad can stand up to him.
since we're still at sookie saving people, she also exorcizes tara from the maryann spell. but before that, lafayette delivers another awesome line: "Just because god and i have agreed to see other people, it doesn't mean we don't talk to eachother anymore"
on another note, jason rises from the stupid, puts his ash on (chainsaw and nailgun included) and saves sam and andy who have been hiding in the refrigerator at merlotte's. jason also does an impersonation of the horned god for the masses and everyone cheers.
also jessica goes ballistic at hoyt's mom (who's got the crazy) and chomps her neck or so we are made to believe.
in the end bill goes to the queen to maybe solve the maryann problem and... we're left with the picture of a dainty leg covered in blood.

eric's awesome awesomeness reaches epic proportions in this one. let me count you the ways:
1. eric shelters sookie from shards thrown by suicide bomber (he's a better protector than you, BILL). then bill nances in and the following dialogue ensues:
eric: go hunt humans or sth, bill.
and bill DOES IT.
eric: omg sooooookieeeeeee, i will die, am so injured from protecting you, i got shards of silver under my skin...
sookie: fine, i'll fetch godric to save you.
eric: no such time. suck the silver from my veins.
sookie: it's ...ewwww (*actual line. i was laughing so hard at this point)
eric: DO IT, WOMAN, CAN'T YOU SEE I'M DIEING HERE???
sookie - stares
eric: i mean....pleasee... i'll...die? *bats eyelashes
sookie: does it
bill - comes back from hunting zee eevil humans. has very understandably the WTF are you doing with my woman stare
2. eric - smirks. because there was a very sexless sex scene. OMINOUS
bill: but he wasn't going to die sooooooooookieeeeeeeeeeee!!! and you just drank his blood and that means you'll have freaky nasty thoughts with eric! (i'd like to point out that bill did give some blood to sookie early in the first season so it's a pot calling the kettle black moment)
sookie: NEVER! I hate you so much eric northman, wish you were dead!
eric: i love you too, baby.
3. then sookie has a freaky nasty dream with eric and there we discover that he has a heart and he's so in love and seductive. no really, we didn't see that coming... also, eric thinks sookie vampires better than bella swan! actually, she will vampire better than anyone! yay! and then he kisses her.
4. eric gets a punch from bill-the-pot and he doesn't punch back. under sookie's eyes. and in his head he's doing victory laps with a huge crowd yelling U.S.A! U.S.A! I'M DA MAN!!!!!
5. eric cries tears of blood because godric wants to commit suicide by sun. under sookie's eyes (again). then, before he dissipates in a cloud of sparkles, godric asks sookie to take care of eric (and we know she will do it, by all the gods, because that's a vamp's last wish. also because eric is totally hot)
6. eric is hot and this must be mentioned with a separate number. he's also taller than bill, blonder and with awesome shoulders. it doesn't hurt that he's very badass and devious. like i said, i'd love an eric northman to just waltz in and glower at all the things that are not right in my life. they'd magically disappear (a girl can dream, can't she?)
also, lafayette is completely awesome at kicking eggs and dragging tara away from evil maryann. and y'all know lafayette has some eric blood in him and not even maryann wants to mess with that.
also, sam turns into a fly and jessica meets hoyt's mom and the old bat gets bitchy but hoyt is a man and stands up for his tru luv.
like i said previously:
best.series.ever

no, really.That would be Nosferatu for you.

why is tarantino awesome. the inglorious basterds review. Also:

'Inglourious Basterds' Has A Glorious Opening In The Saturday Box Office Report- 14 milions yesterday.

Is Jackson Rathbone the Next Orlando Bloom? that's a good question...

New still of Alice!

Catherine Hardwicke is doing a gothic retelling of the Little Red Riding Hood with a love triangle and werewolves. I will set a CH shrine in my house and worship her now. Because originally That Story is exactly about coming of age in a woman. Paths of pins or path of needles anyone? So yes, i am loving the idea so much.

Will Rpattz overcome his Edward image? I don't care, really...
WTF Forever Dawn? Are you people for real?? I am already seeing a greedy producer getting ready for a fifth installment.. * later edit. OMG, I was actually right about that...
Remakes of the week - Excalibur and The Yellow Submarine
Even Eomer is a vampire. In the same movie with James. Yes, i know, that bridge movie PJ is planning shows that all the characters in LotR are bloodsuckers that love emo teenagers. Except Elrond, who is actually a werewolf.
Milla Jovovich got married. Suprisingly, her new hubby is nor a vamp, nor a werewolf.

*short epiphany. His Royal Hotness starred in Stardust. i don't know how i missed that.
speaking of His Royal Hotness - there's a new movie poster for Dorian Gray. Expect funky video done this fall. i am so liking the idea of Ben Barnes as Dorian, i can't even express it in words.
they started shooting Eclipse in Vancouver.
that translates in "more shirtless boys AND more fuckwittery". hee hee. let's just hope the new director plays along and sticks to the insanity. dialing it up a notch wouldn't be a bad idea either. and since the changing of directors is a tradition in twilight movie saga, i would suggest david fincher of the other david - cronenberg - for breaking dawn. (hint: mutant baby vampire is born after a c-section edward performs with his teeth. and then jacob falls in love with said baby. awesome)
inglorious basterds premieres this week-end. this one doesn't have vampires, but a tarantino movie about a squad kicking nazi ass is definitely worth your time.
didn't i tell you that werewolves are all the rage? Even Benicio del Toro is one.
Also, Robert Zemeckis is remaking the Yellow Submarine.
There will be three Hobbit movies and P.J. is directing one of them. Let's call him the Dark Lord, owner of the One Ring. When is he making the Silmarillion? I mean, technically the bridge movie will be inspired by it but then there's an epic amount of history BEFORE the third age (valar, elves, melkor and beren and luthien, among other stuff) and i just know P.J. is doing black magic right now to get his hands on that as well. Also, will Aragorn be back? Can Ben Barnes be the young Aragorn?? Pleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaseeeeeeeeeeeeee... And can we see Leggy again??
There will be a Wolverine sequel. Yep, we totally didn't see that coming.
Paul Bethany is fighting a Twilight vampire. I am not kidding, James will be back.
so, in conclusion, Twenty 2010 Movies To Get Excited About

i've got the crazy again. what? vampires are all the rage now and ... werewolves too. did i mention taylor lautner is an aquarian? we all know what that means. so basically, in the second trailer we've got many and i mean MANY shirtless werewolves running around. and jacob climbs bella's window "what snore doth yonder window break?" and then they hug and i swear that's a copy/paste from the romeo+juliet movie. also, after that scene, in r+j there was sexing, but no such thing in new moon. but there is a definite possibility of a kiss. i am starting to like chris weitz after this video, he seems to have brought MOAR melodrama to the story (yes, there is such thing). what? do you think i read those books for any deep meaning? it was the love triangle and the emo and the gratuitous whining that made me giggle and feel good and squee. and we didn't even get to the part where they camp out in the woods.

today premieres the new moon trailer with jacob AND edward showing off their pecs. har har

yahoo blog and I broke up. Mostly because he decided that my last two posts were not worthy of being published. And because he does not like pictures from my computer. So anyway... I will link this new blog to the profile on yahoo because that is the least he can do after that long relationship we had and because I hate that sort of break up where you close all communication channels.
Also, the last post that was supposed to be posted there and it didn't show up for some reason but I had the smart idea of saving on the computer :
True Blood season 2, episode 8

bad girlfriend moves - sam 2, jason 1

I am putting 2 for sam because: 1. he discovers the body of his love interest/shape shifter in the refrigerator at merlotte's with her heart torn out from her chest after her failed assassination attempt and 2. the police arrests him because they think he did it. i'd add an extra 1/2 point for maryann cooking the heart of daphne and serving it to tara and EGGS (yes, his name is EGGS. sister likes a guy named EGGS. and EGGS killed daphne) who eat it and then go into a frenzy because maryann is a maenad and this is what maenads do.

jason gets only 1 point because - preacher's wife actually shot him with a paintball gun (are you for real??) and then he has an epiphany. like, omg, vampires aren't bad and also, let's save sookie. Now, let’s get back to the vamps.

Last episode ended with “Godric, OMGWTF, where is Eric???” so, basically, Godric is the first one to save Sookie from the evil rapist guy. Also, Godric looks like a Frodo with tattoos and he gets extra cookie points for the gray sweater he wears in this specific episode. Then Eric joins the party at which point I am squeeing with delight because he’s in full “let’s rip those humans like a piñata” mode. But Godric then says to let the humans be, in typical Frodo fashion and Eric offers to sacrifice himself for his maker AND Sookie. And they bind him with silver chains and all to an altar.

But the rescue operation continues and in nance Bill who bashed the head of his maker with a plasma screen and Jason who had the “vampires aren’t bad and also don’t touch my sister” epiphany. Also, the Texas Dept. of Vampire Justice who’s ready to rip throats. Tattooed Frodo then says:

“Nah, let those humans be, because we’re superior philosophical beings”. And we all know what happened to Frodo when he let Gollum be.

And then they have a vampire party at Frodo’s place. For real. Which also features a catfight between Sookie and Lorena, the maker of Bill, but Frodo steps in and parts the crazy and Lorena cries tears of blood because she luuuuuuuuuuuuvs Bill who prefers human Sookie. Also, Eric is back to his usual snarky and scheming self, has a tank top to show off his vampire muscles and has a meaningful conversation with Bill:

Bill : Lay off my human from now on or I cut you

Eric: No, because I’m too awesome, also the books say we’ll get freaky nasty, your human and I

Bill: Man, I hate you

And a suicidal-bomber-with- silver-chains-strapped-on-his-chest steps in and threatens to kill all the vampires. Fade to black.
