I just saw Doomsday and ...
I want Rhona Mitra to do terrible, terrible things to my body ... repeatedly.
As far as I'm concerned, Rhona Mitra is now the ultimate badass female action movie star.
*looks at Milla Jovovich, Angelina Jolie and Kate Beckinsale and shrugs*
As for the movie itself, it was ... beautifully retarded.
That's a compliment, by the way :D
Doomsday is B movie making at it's best. It aims to deliver a fun, mindless, thrill-ride by shamelessly ripping off any movie it can (Mad Max, Mad Max: Thunder Dome, 28 Days/Weeks Later, Robin Hood Prince of Thieves, Tomb Raider, The Chronicles of Riddick, just to name a few), and a fun, mindless, thrill-ride is what is delivered.
The movie does not wink at it's audience trying to convince them of how clever it is, and it's not weighted down with attempts at postmodern cleverness. It's just kickass action scenes (it has one of the best chick fights in recent memory), one-liners, Rhona Mitra looking criminally hot in her black tank-top of invincibility, exploding shit, and blood. It is highly illogical, there are plot craters, character development is non-existent and it is full of WTF moments, but I found it to be completely and utterly entertainingly.
It's like Planet Terror only better.
So, in conclusion Doomsday was no The Descent (which I have an insanely amount of love for), or even Dog Soldiers for that matter, but it was a fun, kickass movie, with a dead sexy ass kicking female lead ... and really, what more can you ask for?

Blake: OMG, I can't wait to see Drillbit Taylor!
Leighton: I quit life.

At first I was like...
Leighton
But then...
Blake
I loled!

They totally are! I love that. Blake is almost always the one that's got her hands all over Leighton, just like Serena is always snuggling close to Blair. I wonder if it's Bleighton showing through in Waldsen, or Waldsen showing throuh in Bleighton? ;)
no subject
I've been debating that issue for quite a while and I think it's 50% of each. If it wasn't for their BFF-ness (or the hate/love relationship in the first 3 episodes) of the characters, Bleighton wouldn't have existed. But as we watch the later episodes of GG, we see Bleighton chemistry contributing to the Waldsen domestic-couple-type of relationship (seen in the Thanksgiving episode). As for Waldsen [really close (or even more) relationship] showing through Bleighton... well, the pictures that you've posted blandly displays that! XD
I really love the expression on Leighton's face. She's completely WINS at doing Blair faces. Blake is so carefree and I WANT TO PINCH HER CHEEKS! ^__^

lol, I know. I'm like mesmerized by this picture. I can't stop looking at it and laughing. They are too adorable for words.

Viperhot tattooed lady with combat bra action! That scene where she gazed intently at Eden before deciding to give her to Saul? That could've easily been ten times longer. And involve gropage.no subject
Yeah, she was awesome. I loved that chick. Even her death (and then her cameo at the end) were great.
That scene where she gazed intently at Eden before deciding to give her to Saul?
When she was staring at Eden like that, I seriously thought she was the leader, and that she was going to lick her face and declare that Eden was her new concubine and try to sex her. In fact, I think that in the version that takes place in my head, that IS what happened. Unfortunately after trying to sex Eden she still ends up dead, cause that's what Eden does, yo.

Not that I care, it had Rhona Mitra (who's no Snake Plisken, sorry) wearing spandex and kicking ass. Sadly, it loses points for no Adrienne Barbeau!
I mean, I'm totally buying this movie when it comes out on DVD but the WTF? moments? Seriously.. when they got stuck in Psycho RenFaire-ville, I just about lost it!
no subject
lol, so true.
Not that I care, it had Rhona Mitra (who's no Snake Plisken, sorry) wearing spandex and kicking ass.
But no one could be Snake Plisken, other than Snake Plisken! I can get over it though because Rhona was so effing hot, and I love watching chicks kick ass. Shallowing viewing is a beautiful thing. It's how I just got through the latest Dina Meyer movie ;)

I know, my thoughts exactly. When it gets down to $6.99 at blockbuster, it is mine! And the renfaire-ville was ridiculously. My first reaction was "Whaaaa ... did the train take them through TIME!?!" It was ridiculous, but also hilarious.

I cannot wait to see Serena taking care of Blair and defending her against the bitches they go to school with. I anticipate lots of hugs and snuggling, and this makes me happy.

Blake says "oh, you are so cute, I want to pinch your cheeks"

Oh, has GG started again? I need to immerse myself.

Do it! It's awesome! Seriously, it's just a really fun movie, and Rhona Mitra is all kinds of hot, and kicks a ridiculous amount of ass (and looks fabulous while doing it)
I suppose a healthy dose of subtext would be too much to ask?
Not to much unfortunately. Because I desperately want to slash Eden, I'm convinced that something went on with her and Read (Nora Jane-Noone, aka Holly from The Descent) before they went behind the wall. But mostly, Eden just has chemistry with her assorted weapons of death, lol.

April 21st. *sigh* That's too far away. The on-set pictures are the only thing keeping me going, right now. Thank goodness they are full of Bleighton-y awesomeness

planet terror rules *nods*
zombies, humor, gore, zombies, rose mcgowan, zombies, femslash opportunities, etc.
*sighs happily*

observe (not sure if it'll work - can't remember the image posting thing for LJ..)

I love me some planet terror, I especially loves me some dakota/cherry, but Doomsday was really good too. Maybe saying it was "better" that Planet Terror was a bit much (I was still riding the post-movie high), but it's very good and totally in the same vein as Planet Terror.
And yeah, Rhona Mitra definately has a Kate Beckinsale vibe about her. Which is hilarious since she's playing Sonja in the Underworld prequel movie.
I have seen the trailer for Wanted and it does look totally wicked, and Angie does look badass. Maybe when I see that she'll get her ultimate badass crown back, but right now Rhona is in possession of it and will stay so.

... dammit,now I'm thinking of the simpsons when homer built a tennis court in his backyard, then complained because he apparently wanted "foxy boxing" instead

And I was still riding the "post movie high" a bit, when I wrote that it was "better" than Planet Terror. I loved me some Planet Terror. Doomsday is just made in a similar vein to Planet Terror, so if you liked that movie you'd probably like this one was well.
Seriously, it's a really fun movie. If you see it, I doubt you'll be disappointed.

You know Blake's like "I wish I was hugging her right now". I have no idea what Leighton's doing, lol. Seriously, Leighton's facial expressions are priceless.
