Power Girl (The Classifieds)

I’m not really sure I get the point of the movie, aside from showing off the good casting and costuming skills. The story is rather “eh” but it has some laughs, the actress looks very much like Power Girl and the camera angles tend to not care about the top of Power Girl’s head, if you know what I mean.

SHOCKER: “Cars” to not feature gay shepherds

An advance preview of Pixar’s “Cars” has thrilled theater owners in its first public screening.

The owners, who are, of course, interested in off-setting the poor 2005 ticket sales with movies that have wider audience appeal, were extremely satisfied with Cars, the first John Lasseter film since Toy Story 2.

One of them describes it as “the perfect antidote to ‘Brokeback Mountain.’” I don’t think that will be on the posters.

South Park defiant; Comedy Central less so

Variety reports that a re-showing of the South Park Scientology episode was mysteriously yanked and replaced by the early episode “Chef’s Chocolate Salty Balls” which featured Isaac Hayes’ character Chef. That’s a noteworthy choice, since Hayes recently quit the show due to their Scientology parody. Forced between tweeking the nose of Scientologists again or kissing up to Hayes, Comedy Central chose Chef.

However, Matt Stone and Trey Parker released this statement:

“So, Scientology, you may have won THIS battle, but the million-year war for earth has just begun! Temporarily anozinizing our episode will NOT stop us from keeping Thetans forever trapped in your pitiful man-bodies. Curses and drat! You have obstructed us for now, but your feeble bid to save humanity will fail! Hail Xenu!!!”

The duo signed the statement “Trey Parker and Matt Stone, servants of the dark lord Xenu.”

Season 10 of South Park starts next Wednesday.
PREDICTION: Parker and Stone will not dodge the controversy but will instead make fun of it in the episode, since they can parody things that have happened only a few days earlier. (Remember the Christmas episode that showed Saddam in a spiderhole only four days after his capture?)

Can you sell sub sandwiches on a plane?

Have you subscribed to Bob and Brian Podcasts yet?

A couple good ones recently on the uselessness of hamsters, the possibility of setting up shop while flying… and a hilarious story about Clear Channel’s high class art show and Martinifest.

I talked about Bob and Brian earlier, in case you missed it.

Alan Moore speaks out

Alan Moore gives a rare interview to MTV.com about V for Vendetta and his frustration with all movie adaptations.

In all the months we’ve been debating this movie, here and over on the Libertas boards, people are always firing back that the movie can’t be a parable or metaphor for the War on Terror because the original book wasn’t… as though it’s not a movie with a modern screenwriter adapting it to fit. Well, here the guy who wrote the original finally speaks out about people who think a book and a movie are the exact same thing.

The whole thing is worth reading, but here are some excerpts.

Those words, “fascism” and “anarchy,” occur nowhere in the film. It’s been turned into a Bush-era parable by people too timid to set a political satire in their own country. In my original story there had been a limited nuclear war, which had isolated Britain, caused a lot of chaos and a collapse of government, and a fascist totalitarian dictatorship had sprung up. Now, in the film, you’ve got a sinister group of right-wing figures — not fascists, but you know that they’re bad guys — and what they have done is manufactured a bio-terror weapon in secret, so that they can fake a massive terrorist incident to get everybody on their side, so that they can pursue their right-wing agenda. It’s a thwarted and frustrated and perhaps largely impotent American liberal fantasy of someone with American liberal values [standing up] against a state run by neo-conservatives — which is not what “V for Vendetta” was about. It was about fascism, it was about anarchy, it was about [England]. The intent of the film is nothing like the intent of the book as I wrote it. And if the Wachowski brothers had felt moved to protest the way things were going in America, then wouldn’t it have been more direct to do what I’d done and set a risky political narrative sometime in the near future that was obviously talking about the things going on today?

…Presumably it’s not illegal — not yet anyway — to express dissenting opinions in the land of free? So perhaps it would have been better for everybody if the Wachowski brothers had done something set in America…

Tip of the hat to Chilean Knight on Dixonverse for the link.
