I would never knowlingly dis Sam Elliott, btw. He's the man. Just not with his shirt off and his bear pelt soggy.

Some people are so picky...

Dear Mr. Elliott,

Please stop taking showers and baths or swimming. Sean says it doesn't suit you. Or investigate waxing -- that seems to work for him.

Thank you,
A Concerned Fan.

BWAH!

Visually, I think the focus on the industrial style dates it a bit, but I imagine it's sort of an ur-text for many latter-day gothy types.

Friends don't let friends dress like The Crow.

In other news, there is a God!

Wuh? Charlize Theron is going to be Aeon Flux?

interesting news for ita

Aeon Flux is set 1,000 years in the future, when disease has wiped out most of humanity. The title character is a secret agent with unclear motives. The animated version of the character could peform incredible acrobatics, so Theron is undergoing extensive physical training. "I'm doing four to five hours a day of gymnastics and capoeira [a Brazilian martial art], things like that," she said.

and good news for me

Theron, who wears short black hair for the movie, added that she welcomed the chance to shed her traditional blonde-bombshell look. "It's a tool," she said. "It's something that really helps me, so it's as important for me [as it is] to do research. If I feel that I need to physically go through a transformation to play a character, it's something that helps me, so why wouldn't I do it? And it's always a great excuse to cut your hair off and change it. If it doesn't look good, you can always say, 'Well, it's for a part.'"

Fuck. More capoeira. Why do they torture me so? Is it the new hip chick art?

Is it the new hip chick art?

Probably. But it also most closely captures the movement of the cartoon.

Hopefully the movie will be somewhat more coherent.

More than wu-shu? That was my first thought.

Capoeira's never going to get any cred if they keep doing this to it.

Where art thou, Mark Dacascos? He knows a bit of capoeira.

I don't know why I have a bit of a hate on for Jessica Biel, but I gotta love this:

David Goyer, who wrote and directed Blade: Trinity, told SCI FI Wire that the stunt was designed to offer a camera's-eye view of Biel's shooting an arrow. "We've got this camera aimed at her," he said. "She had learned how to shoot the arrow very well. She was 30 or 40 feet away, but she was also up in the air three stories. And all the crew were behind safety [glass]. The only thing that was uncovered was literally a 2-inch-by-2-inch thing right in front of the lens. We said, 'Aim for the camera!' And BAM! Right down the lens, into the housing and into the camera. Destroyed a $300,000 camera. We caught it on film, and we're going to put it on the DVD."

And BAM! Right down the lens, into the housing and into the camera. Destroyed a $300,000 camera.

Nice shootin', Tex.
