Rumor: Angelina Jolie as Catwoman
space
MajorJJH   |  

JolieI originally passed on this news today, because it seemed like a no story. Julie Newmar, the number two Catwoman in my books (second to Michelle Pfeiffer), decided that not only did she think Angelina Jolie would be a great Catwoman, but that the actress has in fact made inquiries about such a role.

It’s a great story, sure: Julie Newmar, an icon in her own right, suggesting that one of the planet’s sexiest women could be the next Catwoman.

The 74-year-old Newmar, who played Catwoman in the 1960s Batman television series, reportedly told the NY Daily News, “My industry friends tell me [she] has made inquiries about the role.”

But that’s pretty much as far as the story goes really.

Luckily, we have overzealous reporters jumping in to ensure that this is much more of a story than it really should be. Sadly for me, these reporters seem to be jumping straight out of Australia, with News.com.au suggesting that Jolie “is said to be in final negotiations with studio bosses to play the feline villain who first appeared in the Batman comics.”

Geeks of Doom Invade SDCC 2008

WatchmenLast weekend, some of the geeks of Geeks of Doom made their way to San Diego for the annual International Comic-Con, the place to be.

There were tons of attendees dressed up as everything from Star Wars,G.I. JOE, and Watchmen (a big one this year), to anime, comic book, and video game characters. They definitely made this Con something special.

Below is set of pics, just a small sampling really, we took of people, merch, events, and exhibits on the showroom floor — definitely a crazy place to be. Oh, it was mass insanity alright, but really not all that much different than walking the streets of NYC or riding the NYC transit system (something we NYC-based GoDs do every day). But it was also fun as hell.

Take a look …

Mummy

The Mummy Blu-ray
The Mummy (1999)
Blu-ray
Directed by Stephen Sommers, Greg Michael
Starring Brendan Fraser, Rachel Weisz, John Hannah, Kevin O’Connor, Arnold Vosloo
July 22, 2008

The Mummy, which hit multiplexes a while back in 1999 with a dazzling array of CGI effects, is a movie that if you saw as a child, chances are that you loved it, and if by chance it is airing on the fifth Starz movie channel at 2:30 in the morning you won’t switch stations. It is the kind of film that offers “˜fun’ first, that you just want to abandon the sense of all reality and immerse yourself in the presence of death defying stunts that are sure to excite.

The Mummy recalls a magnificent time I had the last time my eyes laid upon it. That was some time ago. Now, with my knowledge of film and the respect that I have for it and the much more enhanced CGI work that has passed us the recent years, I was a tad hesitant to enter the movie at an older age. But what’s not to love about mummies that are thousands of years old, flying swarms of killing locusts, evil curses, love stories, good sidekicks, enemies, and those battles between corpses and archaeological human beings?

Having finally finished the Watchmen graphic novel myself, I am getting more and more excited by what I am seeing here. Though it is awesome to see Rorschach and the Comedian, and seeing Archie is just amazing, for me it’s the glimpses of scenes pretty much directly out of the book which have me most excited.

Charity Zeldathon ’08

Charity ZeldathonHave you ever had a movie marathon? You know, like watching all the extended versions of Lord of the Rings in one sitting, and then realising your legs have atrophy and you’re unable to walk, so you invariably have to use an empty Coke bottle because you can’t get to the bathroom…. ok, I overstepped the mark a bit there, but you know what I mean.

Well, imagine playing a whole series of games, and not stopping until you’ve completed every game in that series. Now, depending on the game series… you could be there a while.

This was a feat completed recently by The Mario Marathon Team, who took it upon themselves to complete all 7 Mario games in one arse-numbing 57-hour session. What was the point? Well, the 3 friends raised over $11,000 for the Child’s Play Charity — a worthy cause in anyone’s book.
