Face of a Franchise: April O’Neil

Judith Hoag v. Paige Turco
In the first TMNT flick, Judith Hoag portrayed April O’Neil as charming, headstrong, and fierce. In the subsequent installments of the trilogy, Paige Turco came across as a paint-by-numbers reporter…but looked damn fine.
So how about it – who is the real April O’Neil?
Trent Reznor Is Scoring And Acting In ‘Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter’. Awesome Bomb.
It’s still a bit of a mind-warp to contemplate that Trent Reznor won a fucking Oscar. Seeing him tanned and in a tuxedo was a trip for me, since I grew up watching him caterwauling into microphones about fucking people like animals and boring holes into heads and shit. However, this is even fucking crazier. Trent Reznor is going not only be composing the score for Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter, he’s going to be acting in it.
First Official Photo Of Red Skull From ‘Captain America’ Movie.
Ever since the Super Bowl Trailer for Captain America: The First Avenger dropped, my expectations for the movie have been recuperated. Probably not the best precedent to be set. It’s always better to go in with ground floor anticipation, that way anything can blow your tits off. One of the dopest things about the trailer was Hugo Weaving gettin’ his Red Skull on. So it’s of particular excitement to me that this week’s Entertainment Weekly has the first official photo of him as the Red Faced Prick.
Hit the jump for the photo, and some quasi-spoilerish details.
Star Wars: The Phantom Menace Is To Be Released In 3D; Taste The Suck In New Dimensions.
Pig Fucker Lucas is set to release the first of his botched abortion, straggling kicking legs out of a vagina, bloody soul crushing prequels in 3D. I will not be happy until George Lucas is finger-raped by a midget with gigantism of the fingers. Want the press release? Whatever, fuck you!
Marvel’s Shot A Secret ‘Avengers’ Trailer, Featuring The Villain?
It’s almost too fucking bad that we live in a universe filled with eternal spoilers and the death of the reveal. I realize that I contribute to the perpetuation of this problem, but I can’t help it. I’m an addict. Word vomiting out of Ain’t It Cool News is that Marvel has already shot a secret trailer for The Avengers, which will be attached to either Captain America: The First Avenger, Thor, or both. And oh yeah, the trailer drops the reveal on the villain behind the enormo-flick coming out next year. This would have been a total balls-draining geekgasm to experience without foreknowledge, but c’est la internet or whatever.
Diane Lane Cast As Martha Kent In Snyder’s Superman.
The Snyder Superman Reboot is really real!, and the proof continues rolling in. We’ve been spittin’ about Kevin Costner perhaps playing Pa Kent. Well, now we know definitely who will be holding it down as Ma Kent. The role shall be inhabited by none other than Diane Lane, and good Clark Joseph Kent’s mother is going to be a total MILF.
Blade Runner Is Getting A Prequel/Sequel. My Soul Dies.
In further proof that there is no God, Hollywood is a runaway Devil Machination, and everything sucks, there’s a fucking Blade Runner Prequel/Sequel in the works. I wish I could describe to you how much this crushes my soul and shits down my gullet. Why doesn’t the scar tissue ever form, why does this still burn? Star Wars prequels, Matrix sequels, the Watchmen movie. It still burns!

New Pic of Emma Frost And Sebastian Shaw From X-Men: First Class
Empire Magazine has a news article with a new picture of Emma Frost and Sebastian Shaw from X-Men: First Class. Condemn all the fucking promotional materials surrounding this flick! Every time more promo shit leaks out of this movie’s guts, the more excited I get. I’ve gone from “Meh, this is probably going to blow” to “Holy shit, this could be tight.”

American Revenge
Inspired by John Shelton Lawrence and Robert Jewett’s study, Myth of the American Superhero and my ever loving hard-on for Charles Bronson, the “American Revenge” mix features clips from some of my favorite vigilante movies. The beginning features footage from the videotaped confessions of Bernhard Goetz (aka the Subway Vigilante). With the mix, I leaned towards some lesser known films and excluded any rogue cops (sorry, Dirty Harry).
I’m not the best editor in the world, but I hope you like it and I hope you share it.
“Whereas the classical monomyth seemed to reflect rites of initiation, the American monomyth derives from tales of redemption…combining elements of the selfless servant who impassively gives his life for others and the zealous crusader who destroys evil.” – Myth of the American Superhero
