It's a Stuff Post! Here's some stuff ...

Oh hey, it's Morena Baccarin being the HBIC and wearing a fancy suit!  Seriously u guise, seriously.  Her face is impeccable.  It's like a work of art.  I honestly believe that I could look at this picture for an hour and be completely entertained. 

Oh, and to try and make posting this picture somewhat relevant, here is some information on the temporary shutting down of the new V Series.  I hope the retooling really is a good sign.  I was worried when I first heard about it, but reading that the pilot got really good reviews makes me feel better.

Not only will Summer Glau be on our television screens again but so will Lena Heady!  Please ignore the picture at the beginning of the post.  It looks shopped.  She's going to play Cersei (like the name, like the name) on HBO's "Game of Thones".  I have no idea what this show (or the books its based on ) is about, but I am a shallow viewer and don't need to know.  I will watch for Lena (and Nikolaj Coster-Waldau)


Click the link to see the rest of the stunning pictures of Megan Fox in Wonderland's 18th issue, shot by Mariano Vivanco.  She really is ridiculously good-looking.

Jennifer's Body ET featurette (with the Jennifer/Needy kiss).  Probably everyone's seen this already, but there it is anyway.  And another Jennifer's Body behind the scenes featurette.

Milla Jovovich + Aliens = Me there.  Check out the trailer for Milla's new movie "The Fourth Kind" here.  Firstly, Milla makes for a very sexy doctor.  I'd make up all sorts of shit to have her counsel me.  Secondly, the movie looks delightfully freaky.

And here's some pictures of Olivia Wilde being fabulous and sexy as sin!

Also, in case anyone is interested in seeing it, you can have ...

All the Boys Love Mandy Lane by clicking here (change the xx to tt).

It's an interesting movie.  It gets off to a slow start, but in the end I really liked it.  I'll say that it definitely left me thinking afterwards, which is something that can be rarely said about horror movies.  But, again, this isn't a typical horror movie. It's a bit smarter and more thoughtful.  In any case, it's far, far, far, better than the majority of  horror movies that make it into theaters these days.

And, since the music thing went so well the last time, here is my other musical obsession of the moment.

White Lies - To Lose My Life (once again, change the 'xx; to 'tt')

They're very 80s, and very awesome.

And now I shall go back to mourning the end of summer and the return to work :(

About Lena being Cersei. I don't think she can do it. They are so completely different as persons. Cersei is closed minded, cruel, nasty bitch with an irrational superiority complex, while Lena is all kinds of mind blowing awesome and colors of the rainbow. To convincinly portray Cersei she has to pull some really dark, ugly mojo. IMHO YMMV

If she pulls it off I will be very impressed.

The books: they are superb. I read the first three like in two days non-stop. They're about 1000 pages each. Never have I completely devoured literature at that rate since. They are one of the best non-femslashy books out there for the ones who like low-key fantasy with very brutal and gritty adult themes. In fact, it's mostly like an alternate middle-ages with a slight fantastic tint. The magic is very ambiquous, it might be just myths and mind games. It is never clear at any point. Plenty of time has passed since I read the books (the series is still unfinished...), so all this might not be completely accurate.

Morena Baccarin as a sexy lizzard? Gimme.

Cersei sounds cool, and right up my alley! I already anticipate a major character!crush ;)

Also, Lena herself is amazing, and sunshine lollipops and hilariousness. But I totally think she could play a character like you described above. She's got these great dramatic, dark looks (considering they cast Lena and Nikolaj I'm hoping they let them stay brunette because I don't think either of them would look good blonde), and she plays tough chicks well (though I haven't ever seen her play 'murderous' before).

The books: they are superb.

You're description of the books is tempting to me, but knowing me I'll probably just wait and watch the show instead of the reading them. If I love the show, I might end up going back and reading them though.

I know, right! It's like ...

And actually, there is some f/f action in Book Four involving Cersei, although Cersei mainly does it because she's bored.

Cersei's main problem is she's obsessed with the notion that she's been held back all her life because she's a woman, esp. by her father, and that if only she'd been a man, she would have taken the world by storm. But in fact she's nowhere near as smart as she thinks she is. Although yeah, she's probably one of the most disturbed, evil individuals in the series. She loves her kids. That's about the only thing separating her from a Bloody Mummer.

I'm actually most interested in the actor playing Tyrion. I'm drawing a blank on his name, but he played the little person who beats up Will Ferrell in Elf, and he was also the lead in The Station Agent. I think he's a really talented actor, and they're giving him an extremely meaty part.

I gotta see who else has been cast.

P.S. Didn't Joss originally say he didn't want too many people from BtVS and Firefly on DH? And now we've had Faith, Fred, Wash and River?
