There was a time when you couldn't just find any song you wanted on iTunes. You couldn't even find them all in music stores. In the early days of rap, artists would sell cassette tapes out of the trunk of their cars. That's the world Ice Cube came out of. He was part of the influential group N.W.A., which stands for something I'm not...

Is an entertainment journalist out of his depth with a hard news reporter and documentarian? Expertise in superheroes and slasher killers might not impress war correspondents, but we do what we can to help out. We can't send Suicide Girls to Afghanistan for the troops, but at least we can talk to some...
When Suicide Girls come to visit HQ, not only do we get to meet or see again another beautiful face but often times, they bring us tasty treats.
Sysca brought us Macarons from Laduree -where they all began- Bob will be bringing Vegan cheese and non-alcoholic wine to teach us how SHE does Wine and Cheese tasting and Cherry's brought us some delicious Maple cream...

Two conventions in two weeks, I'm a lucky lady -got to meet some super cool SG's, saw Mickey Dolenz! (the Monkees) and made it home from the last convention with the Fonz (well, his head anyway).
The only downside is the nerds at the last convention seem to have given me some sort of uber-germs. I don't get sick and they got me sick. How...

Kevin Smith became more famous for just talking than he ever was for making movies like Clerks, Chasing Amy and Zack and Miri Make a Porno. His public speaking Q&A sessions fill large theaters, including Carnegie Hall. Arguably, his tales of debating a giant spider with producer Jon Peters, finding a camel for Prince and having unprotected sex with an open sore on his...

Ok. I've only been on sg for a week or so. And I just got around to exploring the interviews section today. I have to say. I'm a little disappointed. Not in the interview, or any of the subjects, but in the fact that comments are so low! I mean. Kevin Smith is a cultural icon! And only 11 people have something to say? I know this is a site that is primarily sexual, but the deepest sexiest thing in the world to me is intelligence, and KS has it in spades. He's amazing. I love that there is an interview with him. Also. I'm jealous. I wish I could interview him.

However, he is a brilliant funny man.... and is slowly becoming a personal hero

motorfirebox:
saw it Saturday. it was okay, and as Rucka says, it was a perfectly reasonable movie adaptation...
...but that's a big part of why it was just okay. given the film's $5.1M opening weekend and the glut of comments on this thread, i'm going to assume nobody cares enough to be bothered by the lack of spoilers.
the first thing i noticed was that there were a lot of chicks. having never been to Antarctica, i couldn't tell you how accurate the comic was, but one thing it stressed was the low ratio of women to men, and how that affected the social dynamic.
ironically, the one place in the story where there was another chick besides Stetko, they put in a dude. i swear, movie makers make Glenn Beck look like a hippie liberal--god forbid you cast a strong female lead and a female co-star. movie audiences won't know what to do!
they also chickened out on Stetko's backstory. i swear, George Lucas's neck has taken over the whole industry. you can't have the protagonist just straight out kill someone in a movie--it always has to be self-defense. the other guy always has to be going for his gun. Stetko's backstory in the comic made her simultaneously stronger and more vulnerable: stronger because her actions were her choice, and more vulnerable because her actions were arguably the wrong choice. there's depth there that the movie chooses to reject.
there were other things. for instance, how the hell did Price get out to Vostok? teleport? Stetko has to virtually shanghai a pilot to get her out there before the storm hits, and Price just shows up with no means of transportation--he has to hitch a ride out with Stetko and her pilot, for chrissake. the hell, man. they even chickened out on Stetko's frostbite--in the movie, she lost the last two fingers on her left hand instead of the first two on her right.
overall, it was a decent location-based thriller, but that's all it was. it lacked the strong and interesting characterization of the source material--which was, to me, what made the comic good.

That's too bad, though I expected much worse when the trailers were marketing it like a horror film (and the multiple year delay didn't help ease my concerns). I might catch a cheap showing next weekend.
