| Valentine to Return in Resident Evil: Afterlife? |
[November 10, 2009 | 10:48 PM] |
Paul W.S. Anderson promised fans a few familiar faces would definitely be returning for Resident Evil: Afterlife. Ali Larter has returned as Claire Redfield, then there is Spencer Locke's K-Mart. From the video game series? Chris Redfield (Wentworth Miller) and Albert Wesker (Shawn Roberts).
Well, how about Jill Valentine? That's right. Star Milla Jovovich dropped a Tweeter via her Twitter account earlier today that said: "Valentine MAY be back."
We haven't seen that character on the screen since Sienna Guillory played her in Resident Evil: Apocalypse. Insiders told me during Resident Evil: Extinction's production that Guillory didn't return over contract disputes. Is the actress back or have they re-cast Valentine? We'll see.
Jovovich also had something to say about Afterlife's undead today. "The zombie makeup is exceptionally good now, they're rocking it over at prosthetics. But depending on the zombie and what happens to them, sometimes they add stuff to them in post."

| Pendant ce temps à Paris |
[November 10, 2009 | 07:52 AM] |
Making the long trip overseas, the stars of “New Moon” turned up at the Crillon Hotel in Paris, France on Monday night (November 9).
Having flown in from Los Angeles, Robert Pattinson, Kristen Stewart and Taylor Lautner greeted a pack of awaiting fans as they posed for a few pictures and signed autographs before checking into their rooms.
As for “New Moon,” which hits theaters on November 20th, Miss Stewart recently spoke about her Bella Swan character’s interactions with Robert’s Edward Cullen role.
“For Bella in this film, Edward leaving her is like physical withdrawal. She is an addict when it comes to this boy. I have a breakup scene with Rob in the movie, but that’s not what intimidated me. It was the absence of him that was scary.”

NGL, I'm strongly considering taking a notepad to the premiere to count the number of times she screams "Jake!" I don't think I've actually heard her SAY his name yet...am I the only one?

| A Tale of Two Trailers: The De-Gaying of “A Single Man” |
[November 10, 2009 | 02:18 AM] |
While the heterosexualized poster for Tom Ford’s not-so-heterosexual “A Single Man” caused a wee stir last week, it seems the recently released trailer has just re-enforced those complaints.
A comparative study of the trailer that Tom Ford’s production company released as the film premiered in Venice and Toronto and the trailer The Weinstein Company just put out tells quite the tale. The new trailer uses the same music and mostly the same shots, except it adds in a bunch of quotes that not-so-subtly emphasize the film’s Oscar buzz, leaving out a few choice shots - pretty much all of which are suggestive of the film’s gay content.
The new trailer essentially is altered to suggest the core of the film is the relationship between Colin Firth and Julianne Moore’s characters, even removing from the end of the trailer the names of both Matthew Goode and Nicholas Hoult (who play Firth’s love interests). Moreover, in the first trailer, we see Firth’s character kiss both Goode and Moore, in the second we just get Moore. There’s also a sequence of shots in the first trailer which crosscuts Firth, who plays a professor in the film, staring into the eyes of both a female student and a male student. In the second, as you might guess, we only get the female (in a telling twist, instead of cutting to the male eyes, the trailer cuts to a quote from Entertainment Weekly saying “[Firth’s] performance is bound to win attention in this year’s Oscar race”).
Gone completely in the new trailer are a few shots of Firth running into the smoking (literally and figuratively) male prostitute outside a liquor store (one of the film’s more homoerotic sequences), as well as a few shots of him and Hoult running romantically and shirtlessly into the ocean together.
Take a look for yourself:
( Trailers behind the cut. )
In with the Oscar buzz, out with the gayness. It seems The Weinstein Company doesn’t want to take any chances with all those homophobic Academy members. Call it the “Brokeback Mountain” approach (and remember how well that worked out).

| Pecan Pie: SUCESS! |
[November 09, 2009 | 08:13 AM] |
|
Hey! Thanks for for all the input I got on making a shortbread crust on a pecan pie. And here's my results... oops...
 Well, that didn't last long. I used a slightly non-standard recipe (which was gutsy since I've NEVER baked one before, of any kind. I'll give my notes from doing this one, too, for the next time I make it or you might make it, so you have a little easier time than I did. Here's the original post I worked off: Butter Pecan Pie
Brandy-Spike Butter Pecan Pie (with a shortbread crust)Crust: 1 1/2 c flour 3 T sugar 3/4 c butter, softened 1 t real vanilla (Note: when it says softened, believe them! I thought,' oh, cutting in cold butter always works better, ya? No. it made a dry crumbly mess I had to add liquid too and then scrape off my fingers. yick)(Note: Also, it has a little vanilla in there. that flavor was really nice in the pie, but hte original directions had no say on where to insert it in the crust. ack! I tried to mix it in at the last point, but I think it might be easier to gently fold it into the softened butter?)
2. Poke holes in the piecrust with a fork, and bake at 325 F for 7 minutes.
(The original directions had you smooshing it between parchent paper, peeling some back, putting it down, peeling again. It was a mess. WAY more hassle than it was worth. Also, don't press it too far over teh edges of the plate, or it'll jsut break off when you try to serve it, kinda like mine did in the above picture. This produces a fairly thin pie filling)
Filling:
3 eggs
1 c (dark) corn syrup
2/3 c brown sugar
1/3 c butter, melted
1 1/2 c pecan, halved
~1 tbsp Brandy
1. mix the eggs to break them up a little. Pour in the corn syrup, and continue mixing gently to incorporate.
2. If your butter is hot out of the microwave like mine, put some of hte brown sugar in it to begin coolign it down quicker. Once it's close to your finger's temperature, you can pour it into the egg-syrup mixture. Add the rest of the brown sugar, pecans, and your brandy (or bourbon, or rum, or anything with a bit of carmelly-complex flavor, I'd think)
3. pour into crust. move the nuts around if they're piled all on one side.
4. put tinfoil along the edges of the crust. Bake at 350 for 25 minutes. Remove foil and bake another 20-25 minutes, until a knife inserted comes out clean, or it doesn't look excessively jiggly anymore.
Opinions: the outermost rim of crust STILL came out a little dark, even with the tinfoil. I think my pie plate was a little bigger than in the original recipe (they gave no specific size). The pie filling part was DELICIOUS, though. And out of a texan-friend, a friend from Cleveland with southern relatives, myself, a friend from Missouri, and a friend from the Navy who's been everywhere, they ALL said it was perfect, just like their mother/grandmother, and that the crust was just right. And despite hte edge being too dark, under the filling it baked PERFECTLY, it was dry and fklay, buttery, and not soggy from the filling at all. Also, the original recipe called for 3 1/2 c pecans. HA. yeah right. the karo recipe was ALMOST the same, sans an extra 2 tbsp butter in the filling, so I assumed that it MEANT to be 1 1/2 c. I have no idea how you could actually FIT 3 1/2 c pecans in this filling. But then, maybe it would turn into a wall of caramelized pecans? Also, I'd only bought the small bag of pecans, initially looking at the Karo-brand amounts. oopsie... well it turned out great, so I'm not going to look back :)
