Oh man, my girls episode hasn't even aired yet and the TWoP L Word board is already alight with people calling out for her Nordic blood! (or for her to come sit next to them!). What you may ask could have these Lphiles calling for my ladies blood, well this quote apparently from a recent interview interview:
Her character will be on the series through the rest of the season, but unlike Shepherd and Matlin, Loken has no plans to return to the show, regardless of whether 'Painkiller Jane' is a hit. She called Chaiken and the other producers and writers 'fantastic,' but said her 'L Word' run was soured by 'the most difficult cast I've ever worked with.' 'I'm not naming names,' she said. 'Let's just start with the fact that it's an entire show of women. And the amount of egos and insecurities and cattiness that can go on with a bunch of women - that's what you get. It attracts certain people that want to do something different in their career, but the girls were tough. You know?' Loken continued.
Personally, I'm in the 'come sit next to me' category (oh, come on at least pretend to be surprised by that!). All of the behind the scenes news on this show has always been more fascinating to me than the actual show, and this season it's been especially fun because of the main casts bitterness with everything Chaiken. Ever since Erin Daniels departure certain cast members have been bitching about how things just arent' the same, pretty much everyone has complained about their storylines, Beals and Holloman are purposefully acting against direction in their quest to get Bette and Tina back together, and everyone has been disgruntled and vocal about their dissatisfaction with the shows ever expanding cast. Not to mention that the cast apparently had absolutely nothing to do with Ion Overman when she was on the show, former cast member Karina Lombard was openly mocked on some season 2 DVDs, and other guest stars not to mention Sarah Shahi (before she and her Shahi's were fully initiated) talked about the fact that it was a difficult cast to integrate into. And this was before their storylines went to shit, Dana died, and the ensemble went from around 7 to 17.
Sounds like a fun work enviroment to me. I'm shocked that Kris didn't find it to be sunshine, lollipops, rainbows and everything that's wonderful.
It's hilarious to me, that with BloodRayne under her belt and unemployment looming in the future that she was like "later bitches!" and asked not be brought back. Thank goodness Painkiller Jane came along though because I don't think I'd have been as amused if it meant that I couldn't watch Kris on my TV every week.
Still, despite all the drah-mah, based on the highlighted parts below I think I'll enjoy Kris's run on the L Word, brief as it may be.
Did she choose her route down the genre road? 'Not really, not really,' Loken said. 'I feel like it chose me.' She laughed, and added: 'I've been this height since I was 18 years old. On 'The L Word' it didn't really matter because we're all the same lying down, and that's what we did for half the show.'
Anyway, I'm glad that my girl is in fighting form thanks to Painkiller Jane because if she encounters a genuine L Word fan on the street there just might be a throw down.
Totally can't wait for this weeks episode!

Kris showed off the girls in BloodRayne so ... (I didn't imagine that, right? She showed off the girls in BloodRayne, didn't she?)
Bloodrayne didn't eat your brains, she did show them off :D. Loken nudity was probably written into the contract as a prereq to her getting hired on the L Word, lol. You know that Angela Robinson totally watched Bloodrayne too.
She's very playful which I enjoy, but like not full of bullshit. She's got that beautiful head screwed on straight
Right there I think you have the reason why it was going to be a clash of two worlds with the crazy girl drama that the L Word people have got to be living in if they think that the stuff they've been producing for the past couple of years is anything like a reflection of how we are.

If there is any justice in the world this will be so. I mean, I did call Ilene the female version of Uwe Boll, and if Uwe was able to get her nudish I'm sure Ilene was able too as well, lol.
You know that Angela Robinson totally watched Bloodrayne too.
Oh, dude I hope Angela is directing one of the episodes that Kris is in. Preferably one with Shane/Paige mackage and sexin'. *twirls* I heart Angela Robinson.

Oh I know. This show just ... *shudders* Ilene and EZ and the other creative powers behind this show are insane. How they think that anything they are doing is innovative and intriguing or even slightly good is beyond me. Completely delusional. I think the actors at least realize that the show is pretty shitty, but they're contractually bound to stay with it ... and really, what else would the majority of them do without it? Which is why there's so much drah-mah going on over there.
Over at TWoP they're talking about Kris not exactly being A-list and making enemies, but she's as hell got more lined up and under her belt than the majority of the cast. You look at their IMDB enteries and there's tumbleweeds blowing through. Seriously, what is Leisha Hailey going to do ban Kris from staring in Yoplait ads, or Jennifer Beals blacklist her from bad Lifetime movies of the week? Maybe Kate Moennig will have her name struck off of the list of people allowed to make 5 min. cameo's in shitty independant movies.
In any case, I can imagine that L Word land is a ... unique environment, that obviously some people are too sane to be able to deal with. Whatever, Kris can go and produce her show about mutants that will probably still be more realistic and require less suspension of disbelief than TLW.

Sounds like Kris and Angela got along great and had a god time working together which I hope will translate to some fun projects in the future.

Date: 2007-01-28 07:42 am (UTC)One can only hope. My god, could you imagine if Angela managed to get Kristanna and Jordana Brewster together in the same project (ANY project, I'm not gonna be greedy) ... I swear the movie would have to come with a warning label.
Seriously though, I'd love to see a collaboration between the two of them, because Angela's awesome, and Kris is awesome which could only spawn more awesome (I'm pretty sure that can be proven mathematically).
Also, "There's just no drama with her-she's really fun..." if Angela says it then it must be true. I just liked that quote in addition to what we had been discussing earlier.
P.S. I added a screenshot I found of Shane and Paige meeting for the first time. Not loving the shirt, but as Tim Gunn would say, Kristanna "makes it work" or maybe the extremely open 'V' makes it work. Seriously, in a couple more years Paige's kid is gonna be extremely popular, lol

Date: 2007-01-28 03:38 pm (UTC)I'm thinking positive thoughts. I don't know why it wouldn't happen. You heard Angela say in the Queer Lounge clip that Girltrash is basically about 'asskicking girls who kick ass'. Sounds like she likes those kinds of projects, and if that isn't a good start for a movie with Kris, you can always add Jordanna to the mix. Although there'd be a Shane effect I would think. Kris would totally top her even if Jordanna gives it her best shot. Which would be very worthwhile of course :D.

Is that a pastel tie dye shirt? Lol. Works for me.

Date: 2007-01-28 05:14 pm (UTC)That's my kind of woman. I totally love her sensibility (well, for her own projects, not so much when she needs a paycheck to pay off the mortgage and does Disney projects). I could watch funny movies about girls kicking ass and making out with each infinity billion times.

lol. I don't know, I don't think Kris would have to work very hard to dominate Jordana. Jordana's pretty shy, and describes herself as being the opposite of Lucy Diamond personality wise, actually more of an Amy. They'd probably have long verbal battles with witty repartee though. Which is hot. And then Kris would be on top.

It is indeed pastel tie die. And it works for me too ... but only because it's on Kris. She could be wearing a burlap sack and I'd be like "That's hot". I think the best option is that she just go nude.

Date: 2007-01-28 05:56 pm (UTC)We so need more funny movies that just take it for granted that the girls that kick ass are going to want to make out with each other. One of the things I love about DEBS is that Angela did such a great job of making a fun, girl centric movie, that's basically a lesbian love story - with the obligatory ass kicking - but totally age appropriate for anyone in the family. I can't think of any other movie that comes close to this level of good, clean fun for the whole family while being about lesbians.
