Super Saturday

Wonder Women

Hello Minions it's Super Saturday brought to you straight outta Wonder Woman the TV series which aired originally April 21, 1976.

These are the women of Wonder Woman pictured on her place of origin Paradise Island. With Wonder Woman portrayed by Lynda Carter in the house along with her Mother portrayed by Carolyn Jones and Debra Winger as her sister Drusilla. 

I was feeling heroic today and wanted to salute these classic Wonder Women. 

So let's hop in our invisible planes and take them straight to the sky and fly!

Hump Day & Chill

I know I am late to this particular game, but currently I am binging Gossip Girl on MAX and am almost done with season three. I am hooked! Thus when all is said and done today guess what I will Hump Day & Chill to? Gossip Girl, naturally, gotta finish every delectable season!!!

Why didn't I watch it when it aired initially? The title was a turn off so I didn't bother to find out anything past that about the show. When I found out it was about teenagers behaving badly who can not hide their secrets from a ruthless blogger who publishes them online, well I just had to see it! 

There are many things to like about GG my favorite is the well rounded believable characters and the acting. "Yes" sometimes the storylines are somewhat over the top, but if you have well written believable characters with actors who can inhabit them and make even the most outlandish of situations grounded in reality, you can do that sort of thing. 

Above is a poster for an ad campaign the clever marketing team behind the show did using quotes from negative reviews for it. 

There is one character on the show I do identify with and I'm not telling you who or it is, or what sex they are. Let's put it this way I'm no Dan Humphrey!

Guess away and Hump Day & Chill Minions...

Just Because...Charlie's Angels

Angels We Have Heard On High
l-r
Kristen Stewart, Naomi Scott & Ella Balinska
Good Morning Angels! Here is an image of the newest trio of Charlie's Angels at the premiere in Los Angeles. "Yes" it's the reboot no one was asking for, starring Kristen Stewart and two women I have never heard of.

Most notable thing about it is it is written and directed by Elizabeth Banks... Oh that Effie

So I wonder, yes I wonder, what this is going to be like. From the trailers it seems like a more grounded take on the Drew Barrymore produced version of the TV series with the same amount of levity thrown in, and more grrrrrrrl power!

I have bared witness to Tweets that have raved about it, yet there is no score or advance reviews on Rotten Tomatoes. Tweets are an easy get, if you know what I mean. Reviews not so much.

Thus I find the sign of no early reviews a daunting quandary. Translation, this reboot more than likely is not good. However I am rooting for Banks, who I personally like to keep on moving as a filmmaker.

That's all! Check out the trailer for the latest CA incarnation below!

Seeing Red

The Woman Wore Red
Elizabeth Banks

Today I bring you Actress/Director Elizabeth Banks strutting her way to Good Morning America in NYC, looking ravishing in red. Thus bringing us our Seeing Red moment of the day. 

No doubt, actually one hundred percent sure, to promote the Charlie's Angels reboot she Directed and Stars in, with Kristen Stewart and two women that no one knows who the flip are. OK, somebody probably knows who the flip they are, but most of the world at large, meh.

The burning question I have is, who really wants to see this?! While Banks feature Directorial debut Pitch Perfect 2 made moola assuring she would get up to the plate to Direct another movie, I'm not quite sure this was a good choice. But I could be wrong.

Personally I will not be seeing it, unless I get hooked up for a free screening of it.

In the meantime I will chill in my man cave and watch the reruns of the TV Series on ME-TV, thank you very much.

Skip it? Or hit it? The choice is yours to make....

Say Hello To Wonder Woman

Wonder No More!
Gal Gadot
With all the hype surrounding the opening of Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice this Friday you would have to be living in your own private Idaho not to know that piece of trivia.

Me? I am 100% sure I will survive without going to see it. Having put it out there, one minor point of interest for me about the film is the first big screen appearance of Wonder Woman.

Yes, I was a fan of the TV Series with Lynda Carter when I was young, meaning I am now old. It was campy fun!

The take on WW in Batman v Superman judging from the trailer is decidedly more serious in tone. It's also providing the set up for the Amazonian Princess to headline her own movie. Now that is something I would haul my ass to a theater to go see.

Gal Gadot, the actress portraying WW had this to say about it in Los Angeles at a recent press conference:  "So I am so happy to be the one who is going to tell the Wonder Woman story. It is such an important story to tell. It is so important for girls and boys to have a female, strong, super hero to look up to. The more the merrier and there is plenty of room for many more women to come and I am very happy to be a part of it." 

Since I am sitting Batman v Superman out, see you when the Wonder Woman movie hits the silver screen Gal!

"I'm The F#cking Marcia Brady Of The Upper East Side"

Blonde, Brown, Buffy, Kathryn !
Sarah Michelle Gellar 
"And sometimes I want to kill myself" - Sarah Michelle Gellar as Kathryn Merteuil, Cruel Intentions 1999

Do you remember the movie Cruel Intentions? Well I sure do! This will always remain one of my favorites! I've seen it like 10 + fucking times! Hey, who has never felt like that about this classic? If your answer is no, you lie!

So, in case you haven't heard SMG is back as KM = Sarah Michelle Gellar is back as Kathryn Merteuil in the TV series based on the iconic film. The Title? Duh, Cruel Intentions

Hey, who else was going to do it?! Ryan Phillippe's character be dead. Reese Witherspoon, well you know she ain't got time for that noise! However if they want to bring back Selma Blair for some more girl on girl tongue action...

Yeah, I bet you are all like myself, down with that!

"Brown Hair, don't care" 

Sarah Michelle rulz!

Now if she would only revisit the character of Buffy from Buffy The Vampire Slayer, Jackpot!

Ghostface - Lift

Does This Mask Make Me Look Scary?

Tonight at 10pm MTV is premiering it's TV series based on the movie Scream.

Well the producers decided the Ghostface need some renovating and gave his mask a scary new face lift. There is even a back story to the killers new look.

Personally I love horror and the movie Scream and will watch the premiere episode out of curiosity to see what they brewed up, whether I tune in past that remains to be seen.

As the old adage goes: Curiosity Killed the Cat...
