In Defense Of Sucker Punch...

Ok... so I saw Sucker Punch, Zach Snyder's latest cinematic opus, over this past weekend. Ever since it came out on Thursday @ midnight, geek websites across the net have been running stories about it. I wanted to avoid all of them at all cost until I had seen the film myself, so I HAD to see it on Sunday because I could not continue to ignore some of my favorite sites for to long. I wanted to hear what they had to say... but wanted to experience it myself first.



Let me start off by saying I have been waiting on this one for quite a bit. Ever since I saw the first shots of Emily Browning and her gang of gorgeous misfits fighting dragons & nazi zombies. How could this be bad. Short skirts, knee highs, boobs, guns, swords, and villains galore. This seemed to be the makings of something that I not only wanted to see, I needed to see it.

I Have A Whole New Respect For Kristen Stewart


Wow... just wow. I never thought those words would come out of my mouth. I have made fun of the single-emotioned Kristen Stewart for a long time here on CCD. As someone who read the Twilight books (yeah, I read em... so what? They are good!!!) and seen the movies, I can not understand why this young actress that is making crazy paper and starring in a huge franchise is always looking so sad... it don't make any sense. While she may not have any other emotion other then emo, she does have impeccable common sense.


What am I babbling about, you ask? Well, it seems that Zack Snyder had wanted K Stew for Lois Lane in his new Superman reboot/relaunch to appear alongside opposite of the recently cast Henry Cavill. Really? Why? I don't see it... and neither does Kristen. Check out what the Daily News has to say:
 According to the New York Daily News, Stewart met with Snyder and his producer/wife Deborah to discuss the role. Snyder didn’t formally offer the role to her, but had “definite interest.” Stewart, however “ultimately passed” indicating she was “caught off guard” by the success of Twilight and wanted to concentrate on “smaller, independent films.” The best part is that the News reports Snyder felt “slighted” by the actress and that she “wasted his time.” When contacting Stewart’s publicist, all they would say was that she “did not read for the role” which could easily mean she took a meeting. Snyder’s people didn’t comment.
So Snyder wanted her for the role, and she went to hear the pitch, but immediately told him no thank you. And now he is pissy. Guess what? I think that was really brave of her. First of, Superman would have been a payday for her. Like it or not, she is an established box office draw. She would have got some big bucks either up front or on the back end. But she did not like the part. Good for her. As for not wanting to get involved in another franchise, I ask you this: Can you blame her? This whole Twilight experience must have been quite trying and exhausting. When it's all said and done, this has been her whole life for like 5 years. I'm glad she is trying to make different types of movies.. I for one loved her 'Adventureland'. Lastly, I think K Stew is a hottie... I truly love her emo ass!!! But by not casting her, it opens the door for a ton of young hot actresses to play the role of Lois Lane. Three of CCD's former OHC's (Obscure Hot Chicks) of the day, Emily Browning, Mary Elizabeth Winstead, and Jennifer Lawrence are all being considered... as well as ever other actress in Hollywood. This could be a career maker for someone...

All in all, I respect K Stew for saying "Thanks but no thanks". Now only if she could get Nic Cage to start doing the same... if she could do that, I would love her even more!!!

OHC of the Day: Emily Browning

You gotta love it when a child actor that you admire can make the transition to an adult actor/actress... it's a rarity in the Hollywood of old. But in this day and age of endless opportunities in the acting world, it happens more and more. Emily Browning fits this profile to a T. You will probably recognize her from her role as Violet in the wonderful 'Lemony Snicket's A Series Of Unfortunate Events', or maybe you remember her angst filled teenage role in The Uninvited (a very underrated movie... check this one). She was also author Stephanie Myers first choice to play Bella Swan in the Twilight series... and she would have probably gotten the role had it not be for a bout of exhaustion. Instead we got the always cheery Kristen Stewart (meh meh!!!) Either way, if you don't know Ms. Browning, you will soon. She is playing the lead role of Baby Doll in Zack Snyder's upcoming movie Sucker Punch... and I would be lying if I said that this one isn't one of my most anticipated films of the year. It looks great, and Browning seems to be holding her own with the bevy of beauties that are in this flick. She has grown into a beautiful young lady. You can also catch her in a live action remake of 'Sleeping Beauty' that was filmed in her home country of Australia. She may today's Obscure Hot Chick, but she is tomorrows Hollywood superstar. Remember where you saw her first....

We Are Definitetly Getting A Charlie's Angels Reboot On ABC...


... but the cast has not been picked yet. 'Charlie's Angels' (the TV show, not those craptastic movies that made even the amazing Sam Rockwell seem incapable of acting) was filled with sex appeal and the girls who played the angels were super sex symbols (again, the TV show... the movie featured a mediocre Cameron Diaz & Drew Barrymore... oh, and a sexy as fuck Lucy Liu... 1 outta 3 ain't bad!). Now is your chance... who would you pick to be your new Charlie's Angels??? Anybody is eligible, especially since just about any movie star will do TV nowadays whether their career is hot or not. Make 3 picks, and one alternate in the comment section below... and you can provide a short reason for each. I am excited to see what you guys have to say!!!

I'll start it off... here are my picks:

1) Lizzy Caplan - God I love this wonderful creature... and I miss her since 'Party Down' ended. She is also the subject of one of the top 10 CCD posts of all time when we chose her as OHC of the day a while back. She is funny, gorgeous in the face, and has an amazing body... yup, a perfect fit for the Charlie's Angels team!


2) April Pearson - Most of you do not know this British beauty, but she was the star of the first two seasons of original 'Skins' show over on the other side of the pond, playing the role of Michelle. Not only is she amazingly gorgeous, but she has an infectious personality that causes you to identify with her character no matter what. It also helps that I am currently obsessed with the original 'Skins' series via Netflix and she has unreal tits.... but hey, that's just why I picked her...


3) Alison Lohman - I recently featured this gorgeous blonde in our "Proof There Is a God" series that gives thanks to the good lord for blessing us with stunning beauty... which the lovely Alison sure does possess. But truth be told I've loved her since she was a kid in 'Matchstick Men' and loved her even more in Sam Raimi's 'Drag Me To Hell'. She is a proven performer, wonderfully attractive, and a blonde... Farrah would be proud!!!


4) My Alternate: Emily Browning - You remember that little wise-ass girl from 'Lemony Snicket's: A Series of Unfortunate Events' with Jim Carrey? Well guess what... she grew up!!!! This hottie is about to become a breakout star due to her lead role in Zack Snyder's 'Sucker Punch' and she is looking very grown up in the trailer. She developed nicely... and would be a nice fit for the show.

Sucker Punch Promo Posters... I Love An All Female Cast, Don't You???

So lots of cool stuff is coming out of San Diego, but one of the things that I am most excited for would have to be items from Zack Snyder's upcoming opus, Sucker Punch. I am a big fan of all of Snyder's past movies, especially 300 and Watchmen. I thought he did a great job adapting those comics to the big screen, which was no small task. Sucker Punch is Snyder's first foray into directing one of his own original ideas, as the story was written by him and Steve Shibuya.


The story follows the young girl Baby Doll (Emily Browning, above poster) and her confinement in a mental institution. In 5 days she will be labotmized, on the request of her prick stepdad. She creates a dreamlike world in which she needs to collect 5 items that will help her escape the institution back in the real world. In this dreamscape, she will encounter tons of fantastical creatures and technological marvels, and she will be assisted by some of her fellow inmates at the asylum. Snyder describes the movie as "Alice in Wonderland with machine guns." How can that be bad. Add in a crazy female cast with some real hotties (Vanessa Hudgens, Jenna Malone, Carla Gugino, Jaime Chung, Emily Browning) and you got my interest peaked. So this brings us to Comic Con 2010. Snyder plans on showing some footage for the film thats been shot, and he has issued the following six character posters for the girls of the movie. Take a look at the additional 5:





Thanks to the guys over at 411mania for the photos. So what do you guys think? How do you like the posters and the premise of the story??? Let us know in the comment section below.
