A new look for Wonder Woman and Eclipse breaks records

I stumbled across numerous news articles today talking about Wonder Woman’s costume change. After 69 years, she’s getting a wardrobe makeover. One half of me says, “What the—?!? How can they change her costume? I mean, that’s her costume!!!” while the other half of me says, “I like it. It’s kind of kickass.” And, you know, since I could play Wonder Woman on the big screen someday (after I lose weight, get into shape, have plastic surgery and take acting lessons) I would much prefer to wear this newer costume than that other much more revealing suit. I don’t know. Usually I’m a traditionalist when it comes to my superheroes, but this time, I’m on the fence. What do you think? Love it or hate it?



So, The Twilight Saga: Eclipse finally hit theaters today, and unbelievably, it broke the all-time opening record set by New Moon by making $30 million in its first three hours. A lot of industry reporters have been saying this would never happen because second sequels “always” under perform their predecessors. All I can say is, wow and holy cow! Congratulations Stephenie Meyer and the Twilight cast and crew. I saw the movie at a midnight opening, and I can honestly say it was better than I expected it to be. Best of the three so far? Maybe. I’ll need a second viewing to decide. Twilight still holds the title as my favorite …right now. Still, I loved it! Go Team Edward!!

Breaking Dawn to be two films

Finally! Summit Entertainment confirmed today that THE TWILIGHT SAGA: BREAKING DAWN will be released as two separate films with the first of the two slated to be released in theaters Nov. 18, 2011. Bill Condon will direct both films. After a point, did anyone really expect it to be just one film? Okay, so maybe I worried a little, but I'm very glad to hear this officially confirmed.

Scott Pilgrim vs. The World, Green Lantern and Eclipse tidbits

A trailer for Scott Pilgrim Vs. The World has been showing. Why am I excited to see this movie? Because it stars Brandon Routh (Superman Returns), of course! Actually, this graphic novel adaptation also features another superhero portrayer, Chris Evans (The Human Torch in Fantastic Four, not to mention the upcoming Captain America). Check out the trailer. I think it looks pretty funny.

Set photos have emerged of Ryan Reynolds in the movement capture costume he’s wearing to film Green Lantern. Is it weird to anybody else that the director is making the costume itself CGI?

Finally, it is now less than 30 days until The Twilight Saga: Eclipse hits theaters. Depending on what theater chain services your area, some will be showing Twilight and New Moon before Eclipse in a triple feature Tuesday, June 29. Man, I wish I had the money to waste and patience to sit through three long movies back to back! Speaking of Eclipse, you can listen to the soundtrack for 24 hours starting at noon today, and in my humble opinion, this soundtrack kicks booty. It is my favorite of the three so far. I can't wait to buy it Tuesday!
