Bloody Lovely: Pride and Prejudice and Zombies
Pride and Prejudice and Zombies opens tomorrow!
Now, I don’t typically go for horror or zombies, but I’m actually looking forward to this one: the trailers and clips make PPZ look kick-ass. Check ’em out:
Pride and Prejudice and Zombies | official trailer #1 US (2016) Lily James Matt Smith via moviemaniacsDE
“My daughters were trained for battle, sir, not the kitchen.” – Mr. Bennet

(There seems to be a bit of perv cam action going on. I hope this is as much as there is.)
I know nothing of the 2009 novel by Seth Grahame-Smith, but I do love some of the movie adaptation’s stars: Lily James as Elizabeth Bennet (James is no stranger to elegance based on her work in Downton Abbey) and Matt Smith (of the 11th Doctor fame) as Mr. Collins, and, finally, Charles Dance and Lena Headey (most lately, in genre interest, of the Game of Thrones excellence) as Mr. Bennet and Lady Catherine de Bourgh.

“I do not know what I admire more, Elizabeth Bennet, your skill as a warrior or your resolve as a woman.” – Lady Catherine de Bourgh

Ugh, pretty gruesome. Then again, it is a truth universally acknowledged, that to see and enjoy Pride and Prejudice and Zombies, one must be in a suitable frame of mind.
There will be murder and mayhem, surely…

…aaand apparently everything ends in a double wedding:
Seems like a combination of very silly and very kick-ass – “hopefully magnificently so,” to quote husband. 🙂

Tumblr Blog: Calvin & Muad’Dib
Wow… I ran into the Calvin & Muad’Dib mashup Tumblr blog where quotes from Frank Herbert’s Dune are inserted into Calvin and Hobbes comics.
The resulting strips are strangely appropriate!

Tumblr Blog: Pride and Recreation
Aaaaaaaaaahh! This may be the best thing since sliced bread: screencaps from the 1995 BBC miniseries of Pride and Prejudice (with Jennifer Ehle and Colin Firth) with quotes from Parks and Recreation. Ladies and gentlemen, I give you, etc., etc., Pride and Recreation:
My favorites include these two above (one, two).

Pride & Prejudice & Zombies Trailer
The first Pride & Prejudice & Zombies trailer has been out for a while, and it’s kicking butt bonnet!
PRIDE AND PREJUDICE AND ZOMBIES – Official UK Trailer #1
The movie will be released on February 05, 2016. I’m generally turned off by zombies, but even still, I’ll certainly go see this one. And I’m looking forward to seeing Lily James (whom I know from Downton Abbey) and Lena Heady (Cersei in Game of Thrones) in action. Matt Smith’s Mr. Collins should also be something to see! 🙂
Hey, look! We found a thing on the internet! We thought it was cool, and wanted to share it with you.

A series of mashups of Monty Python’s Holy Grail and Game of Thrones by Robin Edds and Jamie Jones saw the light at BuzzFeed:

Parody Movie Trailer: The Greenlighter
This trailer for the imaginary superhero movie The Greenlighter by Above Average is definitely onto something:
Marvel’s First Female Superhero Movie: The Greenlighter by Above Average
Agreed – it shouldn’t be hard at all to write a superhero movie starring a woman. Except, you know, while you’re at it, have more than one. Mad Max: Fury Road did it just fine.
