Stardust News

before everything else, i moved my songs site to http://theotherayn.multiply.com/

anyway, moving on to the stardust news… 

a few release dates have been posted on imdb.com. no date for the Philippines yet but it’s going to show in Singapore on October 11. And that gives me an idea when Stardust will show here, obviously, not in August but in October instead. Oh, now I have to wait 2 more months. Unless I see a pirated copy and give in to temptation.

Here’s a sample poster. Not even a mention of Charlie Cox, who is after all, the hero. Anyway. Neil Gaiman wrote in his blog that he’s not so sure about the tagline (This Summer A Star Falls. The Chase Begins) and hopes they think of something better by August. He suggested “Stardust. It’s not a sequel to anything,” which just cracks me up and reminds me of how much I loooove him.

 In other film news:

the trailer for The Golden Age is now up at youtube. Cate Blanchett reprises her role as Elizabeth I, Clive Owen plays adventurer/writer Walter Raleigh. It looks amazing, and it looks like Cate will get another Oscar nomination.

P&P hunk Matthew MacFadyen will play a journalist in Frost/Nixon an adaptation of a Peter Morgan play which will be directed by Ron Howard. Don’t really like Ron but will push aside dislike to drool over Matthew.

Orlando Bloom and Scarlett Johansson were being considered for a Roman Polanski’s next film Pompeii. They would have been gorgeous in it too, except for scheduling conflicts and so we’ll have to wait a few more years for them to couple on-screen.

Mike Myers is developing Austin Powers 4 which will be told from Dr. Evil’s POV. yey.

After teen movies, scary movies and epic movies, disaster movies are the next to be spoofed in a film called Armageddagain: The Day Before Tomorrow.

Ooh, Julie Delpy’s next directing project is The Countess about Erzebet Bathory, a noblewoman who was said to bathe in the blood of virgins to retain her youth. Creepy.

George Lucas thinks Spidey3 is silly and is planning to make 2 more Star Wars movies that will not feature anyone in the Skywalker family. After the tragedy that was Star Wars Episodes 1, 2 and 3? Doesn’t he know when to quit?

Wicked Girls Saving Ourselves
by Seanan McGuire
(2008)

Wendy played fair, and she played by the rules that they gave her;
They say she grew up and grew old -- Peter Pan couldn't save her.
They say she went home, and she never looked back,
Got her feet on the ground, got her life on its track.
She's the patron saint priestess of all the lost girls who got found.
And she once had her head in the clouds, but she died on the ground.

Dorothy just wanted something that she could believe in,
A gray dustbowl girl in a life she was better off leavin'.
She made her escape, went from gray into green,
And she could have got clear, and she could have got clean,
But she chose to be good and go back to the gray Kansas sky
Where color's a fable and freedom's a fairy tale lie.

Dorothy, Alice and Wendy and Jane,
Susan and Lucy, we're calling your names,
All the Lost Girls who came out of the rain
And chose to go back on the shelf.
Tinker Bell says, and I find I agree
You have to break rules if you want to break free.
So do as you like -- we're determined to be
Wicked girls saving ourselves.

Alice got lost, and I guess that we really can't blame her;
They say she got tangled and tied in the lies that became her.
They say she went mad, and she never complained,
For there's peace of a kind in a life unconstrained.
She gives Cheshire kisses, she's easy with white rabbit smiles,
And she'll never be free, but she's won herself safe for a while.

Susan and Lucy were queens, and they ruled well and proudly.
They honored their land and their lord, rang the bells long and loudly.
They never once asked to return to their lives
To be children and chattel and mothers and wives,
But the land cast them out in a lesson that only one learned;
And one queen said 'I am not a toy', and she never returned.

Mandy's a pirate, and Mia weaves silk shrouds for faeries,
And Deborah will pour you red wine pressed from sweet poisoned berries.
Kate poses riddles and Mary plays tricks,
While Kaia builds towers from brambles and sticks,
And the rules that we live by are simple and clear:
Be wicked and lovely and don't live in fear --

For we will be wicked and we will be fair
And they'll call us such names, and we really won't care,
So go, tell your Wendys, your Susans, your Janes,
There's a place they can go if they're tired of chains,
And our roads may be golden, or broken, or lost,
But we'll walk on them willingly, knowing the cost --
We won't take our place on the shelves.
It's better to fly and it's better to die
Say the wicked girls saving ourselves.
