Twisted Princesses

Tuesday, September 22nd, 2009

Jeffrey Thomas decided the Disney princesses needed some jazzing up, comic book style. So he did. Here’s a few of my favorites, cropped. You can see them in full as well as the rest at his blog o art.

While some of them are just the characters drawn with grimaces and lack pupils, others are freaking creepy, like Cinderella. Jesus Christ.

Nerdy guy: Some super powers come with implied powers. Like the power of flight. You assume the power of wind resistance, because you’d get pretty freaking cold flying 200 mph. But no one ever thinks of that.

Jackie Earle Haley plays Rorschach in Watchmen. He does a good Rorschach. He acted with his entire body, not just his obscured face (which you could still see emoting behind the mask). This picture is the friendliest recent shot of him I could find because he looks so hardcore angry or badass in all the others. To think this guy was a kid in Bad News Bears. He was nominated for Best Supporting Actor in 2007 for his role in Little Children.

Bonus: Watchmen ’s Nite Owl II is played by Patrick Wilson, who was the photographer that gets his ass whooped in Hard Candy. Weeeeiiirrd.

go see it.

jesus fucking christ. JESUS FUCKING CHRIST.

i may be a bit of a sucker for men in armor, but i really was not a fan of Robert Downey Jr. no more bashing from me, for i have seen Iron Man. what the fuck, man?!

i'm in your cave building your suits

i’m glad it wasn’t made until now, when Transformers can be done without the cheese factor. the technology to get those fine details that really make a piece work well! the way the final suit connected, the little voice-command doodles in his lab, the 3-D computer modeling with his hands: it was a visual explosion of beauty, craft, and art. special bonus happy fun time for me was watching the evolution of Tony Stark’s body as the story went its course. he definitely got more ripped later in the movie.

if i were Pepper Potts i would be ALL about getting my own suit and up in Stark’s business. by business i mean pants, and by up in i mean him out of them.

the music is a little ehhh. Jeff Bridges - hair = lulz.

PS: indiana jones may 22nd.
