A To Z Blogger Challenge 2013: Day 13 - M is For Martyrs


Wow... Day 13! Oooooooo, we're half way there (Bon Jovi voice)!!!! Halfway through the A To Z Blogger Challenge 2013, and  boy do I have a treat for you guys. One of the most disturbing movies I have ever seen would have to be Pacsal Laugier's Martyr's, a film that explores the darkest places of humanity that may or may not exist on the planet earth. It revolves around a young girl who is kidnapped and tortured at age 12, and she escapes despite the fact that she is emotionally scared forever. Ten years later she finds the people who did this unspeakable evil to her and kills them, but are they really the culprits? Shit gets stranger and stranger... and what follows is as brutal as anytjing I have ever seen in film. The two main characters of the movie are played by European actresses Mylene Jampanoi & Morjana Alaoui, and so I thought this would be a fitting triple M trifecta to portray both of them as the picks for today's blogger challenge feature. Both are stunningly gorgeous, even though you wouldn't be able to tell from how bad they get put through the ringer in the film. But the pictures after the jump will certainly prove my point.

I Like This... But Not For The Reasons You Think

Martyrs, a french horror/torture film by Pascal Laugier, is one of the most disturbing and fucked up movie I have ever seen... and thats saying a lot, since I seek out disturbing and fucked up movies out. I will not say anything about the movie other than that it is extremely graphic and a lot to handle both visually and mentally... see this movie. Like most great international movies, some studio here has bought the rights to remake it. The group heading up this project is lead by one of the producers of Twilight, and naturally he wants Kristen Stewart in the starring role. Now I know everybody is growing tired of K-Stew and the Twilight craze... but I am all for this. Here is why.

Personally, I think Kristen Stewart is kinda hot. In that awkward, alternate hot way. She is not Eva Mendes or Scarlett Johansson, but she got a certain cuteness and everygirl in her. But people are really getting tired of her woe-is-me attitude in which she seems to be pissed off all the time about the success of her Twilight films... and frankly, I am too. Be happy for yourself, you miserable bastard. You are a star!!!! Enjoy it... But I think she would be a great fit because lets just say the main character in Martyrs has a rough going of it. I will not spoil it for those of you who have not seen it yeat, but lets just say things are not all peachy keen for the star of that movie. So if she does get the role, then people who like her get to see her in a cool role... and people who hate her get to watch her get put through the fucking ringer. You have never seen the shit like Laugier put his lead actress through, so if she gets half of that... well lets just say you K-Stew haters will be all smiles (You sick fucks You!!!) Either way, I don't care who plays the role... just don't fuck up this classic movie. Thats a simple request, but a tall order for Hollywood, who often fucks these international imports beyond all recognition.
