(no subject)

So I was watching Fox on Monday and I noticed that in their new "So Fox" advertising campaign, Terminator has little videos of Summer Glau and Lena Headey (both attractive women, mind you) hoisting shotguns and whatnot with the big caption "So Tough", while Prison Break is heralded with videos of Dominic Purcell and Wentworth Miller (neither unattractive menfold) and the caption "So Wanted".

Pack it in, feminists, you've officially won.

They should win an award for "getting it"

Seen in an advert for the remade The Day The Earth Stood Still (I'm still surprised they haven't managed to fix an abbreviation with an X into the ad campaign. DESSX!): On December 12th, we make our stand.

Played over scenes of jet fighters, tanks, and such going to fight the big globey things. Which is, umm, actually called for, as in this version Klaatu wants to destroy the world.

You know, Hollywood, I accept that you're going to make movies about benevolent/superior aliens who lecture us Earthlings about polluting the environment and waging war and voting no on Prop 8. But for the love of God, when you put in bullheaded military officers to be misguided about our condescending alien friends, could you please not make their fears totally justified?

I mean, James Cameron cut out the mile-high tidal wave subplot from The Abyss (watch it again, knowing the insane military commando is right about everything and our "heroes" are actually unknowingly helping commit planetary genocide. It's called the director's cut), so you've gotta know this lesson. Just... either give us evil aliens whose ass we can kick or benevolent aliens for our kids to play with. Not... both... at the same time...
