Killdroid Teaser! And More Photos!

So I did a little more sleuthing on this upcoming film that I wrote about before. The film is called Killdroid: A Mechanical Love Affair, and is directed by Filipino auteur Rico Maria Ilarde. Anyway, it turns out that the film’s teaser has been released by its US distributor, Mondo Macabro.

And holy shit, was that terrible. Not “terrible” in a “so bad it’s bound to be awesome kind of like Snakes On A Plane-terrible,” but just “terrible-terrible.”

I don’t know, there’s something about scoring Filipino movies that makes it seem like they’ve been using the same intruments and technology since the 1980s. The cinematography is beautiful, though. But it was poorly paced and THERE WERE NO TITS.

Considering how they’ve initially marketed this as an erotic gorefest, they should’ve went for the jugular and released a 2-minute red band montage of blood and tits. I’m hoping that that would be the case when they shell out a new trailer.

Child Stars From the 90s: Where Are They Now? And Are They Bangable?

Aaaaaaand we’ve hit an all-time low. Good thing people don’t go to jail for what they write and post on the internet! Wait.

Anyway. Haven’t you ever wondered what’s become of your childhood silver screen crushes from the 90s? And if they’ve super foxily blossomed into womanhood more than a decade later?

However, this entry will focus more on the ladies who’ve been creeping under the radar. Not the Christina Ricci nor the Kirsten Dunst types, because we all know how those two turned out (i.e. one never grew past the height of 4 feet, the other has tits that could out-sag your grandmama’s; both ARE bangable).

On a side-but-completely-related note, I personally had a crush on Michelle Trachtenberg when I was growing up watching her as Nona F. Mecklenberg on The Adventures of Pete & Pete. I was never a fan of Buffy the Vampire Slayer so I didn’t really see much of her after her Pete & Pete days, so one can only imagine how watching her strip down to a bikini in Eurotrip brought about an array of mixed emotions for me. It felt so wrong, yet oh-so-right.

But like I said, we’ll highlight the ones who pretty much have fallen into obscurity, and the first person that probably popped into your head when you read the title of this entry was "that girl from My Girl."

Anna Chlumsky

You May Remember Her…

As that girl from My Girl. Weren’t you paying attention?

Where Is She Now?

She’s currently filming a movie with James Gandolfini, and completed two other projects earlier this year.

I was also surprised to see that she played a pivotal role in an episode of 30 Rock last year, and I didn’t recognize her. For those who follow the show, you may remember the time when Liz Lemon (Tina Fey) first met Floyd (Jason Sudeikis). Lemon mistakenly received a Valentine’s gift from Floyd, which was intended for his real girlfriend at the time, Liz Lemler from accounting.

Chlumsky was Liz Lemler from accounting.

Is She Bangable?

Pervy Cinemabuzz Writer Guy gives Ms. Chlumsky a 10/10 face-wise, and a 1/10 for that f’n blouse.

News On Filipino Sci-Fi Sex and Slaughter Fest "Killdroid"

There’s this small film that’s been generating a lot of buzz among movie blogs lately, all thanks to this photo which was released by its producers yesterday:

It’s a woman in a short skirt bending over what appears to be a cryogenic chamber, and it definitely caught my attention, in the crotchal area.

So I did a little more research and found one truly cool thing about it, and it’s the fact that this film, Killdroid: A Mechanical Love Affair, is a collaboration between American DVD label Mondo Macabro and Filipino writer-director Rico Maria Ilarde.

Ilarde directed Altar for Cinema One last year, and helmed the "Aquarium" episode of Shake, Rattle and Roll 2K5 in, duh, the year 2K5.

Mondo Macabre is no stranger to Filipino shock exploiters either, having released titles such as Aswang, and the critically-acclaimed Silip: Daughters of Eve. The latter (which stars former Miss Philippines Maria Isabel Lopez, Sarsi Emmanuelle, and Myra Manibog) was even voted in the Top 25 DVD releases of 2007 by Mr. Skin.

The company is also responsible for introducing the now-cult favorite For Y’ur Height Only (which stars 2′9" Filipino action star Weng Weng as Agent 00) to the Western World with its release of the title on DVD in 2005.

Anyway, Twitch received an announcement regarding the film, and it details the movie’s plot:

This is the intriguingly entitled KILLDROID, a collaboration with Philippine-based writer-director Rico Maria Ilarde. The film, described as “a mechanical love affair”, tells of a disturbed Goth schoolgirl who stumbles unwittingly across the remnants of a long abandoned military project designed to create an army of android killers from the processed bodies of dead soldiers. The girl takes on the mysteriously beautiful Killdroid as a lover, only to discover, too late, that its insatiable sexual appetite is inexorably linked with a need for slaughter.

Impressionable goth school girl? Killer robot android with a sex addiction? COUNT ME THE FUCK IN.

Captain America’s Shield Was In Frickin’ Iron Man!

And apparently, the serum used to create Captain America will be a significant plot point in the upcoming The Incredible Hulk.

But first, the shield. According to the guys over at First Showing and Slashfilm, it appears right around the 90-minute mark in Iron Man, as Pepper Potts walks in on Tony Stark dis-armoring in his lab, after the incident between him and Rhodey’s fighter jets. See if you can spot it in this animated GIF:

And here’s a clearer photo, courtesy of First Showing:

"HOLY CRAP," right? But wait, there’s more!

Official G.I Joe Cast Photos!

And still no Cobra Commander, dammit! But at least we get an official first look at Breaker, Heavy Duty, a regular-faced Destro, and a masked Storm Shadow.

Here’s a photo Storm Shadow, and like I’ve always wished, with his mask on. He will be played by Korean actor Byung-hun Lee. You can view the hi-res version by visiting Latinoreview.

Here’s one of Christopher Eccleston as James McCullen Destro XXIV. Sadly, his Berrylium Steel mask in nowhere in sight. But at least we get the M.A.R.S. logo! You can view the hi-res version by visiting IESB.

Even More New Dark Knight Posters, Trailer to Debut On Sunday, I Weep.

Before anything else, Part Two of Cinemabuzz, Face Rockery, and Comicology’s list of The Fifteen Best Comic Book Movies of All Time is now online! And you can read it by clicking here.

And in case you missed it, here’s Part One of our List.

Anyway, here’s the latest update from the slew of online games by The Joker (kayfabe, of course) on his website Why So Serious?

Much to the chagrin of nerdier people who actually took the time to participate in intricate viral campaigns than a guy who simply chooses to write about it, the new trailer for The Dark Knight apparently wouldn’t be debuting until Sunday. Volunteers were asked to do meet up in several cities to (I suppose) perform certain tasks which (I hope) involved killing hobos with a hammer.

After all the hullabaloo, they were led to this portion of the website, which teases the debut of a new trailer this coming Sunday.

In other Dark Knight news, Filmschoolrejects, Omelete, and The Bad and The Ugly have scored a barrage of new posters for the movie, though I seriously doubt the legitimacy of these.

They go from "That’s kind of cool but isn’t that a bit too obvious considering the poster that was released a couple of days ago?"

Baroness! Duke! Storm Shadow! Hawk! Ripcord! Cover Girl! Holy Crap!

So Spirit Week has officially come to a close, and we’re back to our lame layout. I’ll work on something new and long-term, and we still have that Iron Man Week kickoff in seven days to look forward to.

And to begin this glorious Monday, I’ll give you some two day-old news, which shouldn’t have been news to begin with. See, last Saturday, wwtdd.com scored a bunch of new photos from G.I. Joe, only to have them requested to be removed by Paramount Pictures within hours.

Almost every other site which linked to or had the images also had to take them down.

ALMOST.

First Look At Scarlett!

We once again interrupt Spirit Week for a little bit of G.I. Joe news, courtesy of JoBlo.

And by "a little bit of G.I. Joe news," I mean "Here’s a picture of Scarlett’s butt. And a gun that shoots arrows."

Rachel Nichols plays Master Sergeant Shana "Scarlett" O’Hara, the Joes’ crossbow-wielding counter intelligence expert. 

This photo was probably rushed after these crappy images of Scarlett and some mannequin bearing the molds of the characters’ body suits were made online a couple of days ago. They were apparently leaked by one of the film’s costume designers through her Deviantart page.

And in case you missed it, here are the official photos of Snake-Eyes that were released a couple of weeks back. 

G.I. Joe opens in theaters on August 7, 2009. 

Brand New Spirit Stills!

Screw the last post, because hot off the presses, we’ve got the first two official stills from Will Eisner’s The Spirit, courtesy of Lionsgate and IGN.

Scarlett Johansson as Silk N. Floss

 Samuel L. Jackson as The Octopus 

We will be pausing from our Spirit reportage this Sunday for the Weekly Roundup, then we will be back to our Spiriting ways all week next week, culminating in a post containing the possibly crappy and bootlegged copy of the film’s teaser which will be screened at The New York Comic Con on April 19th.

It has also been reported that the teaser will make its theatrical debut on May 2nd, together with Iron Man. We’ll keep you posted on that one.
