Wonder Woman by Rainfall Films

If you ask me, I think studios and producers should start listening to their fans to make a Wonder Woman movie.  Lord knows Hollywood can't get it together.

Take a look at this short film by Rainfall Films and tell me it isn't cool.  I think it's pretty darn awesome.  I know most fans will never let go of Lynda Carter or Christopher Reeve for that matter, but people need to be more objective.

Check it out.

Movies in Rewind: Thor as the Huntsman, Thor as Thor

I don't know, Ryan and I went and saw Snow White and The Huntsman last weekend, and well... I couldn't get past the Bella and Thor characters that Chris Hemsworth and Kristen Stewart play.  Unfortunately, they will have to face the backlash for playing those iconic roles for several years or for the rest of their lives.

The same went for actors in the past who have died, i.e. Christopher Reeve as Superman, or those who are still alive, Lynda Carter as Wonder Woman, and Emma Watson as Hermione Granger. The list goes on.

Regardless, the movie was entertaining. I will not spoil it for anyone.  I just found these images online and had to say something about Thor and the Huntsman.

Wonder Woman & Madonna

All you gay boys are gonna love this, because what gay boy in America doesn't love Wonder Woman?  But imagine a video of Madonna and Wonder Woman together.  What more can you ask for in the repetitious twirling and spinning of our most favorite hero.

Forever Our Wonder Woman!

If there's one thing conservatives hate, it's celebrities who have supported us us through the years. But what they really, really despise, is when they are as iconic as Lynda Carter. You are Forever Our Wonder Woman!

Wonder Woman Releases CD

Still looking beautiful at 59, the lovely Lynda Carter made an appearance at a Barnes & Noble CD-signing event.  Yes, she still sings.  Who knew, right?  Well, I did. I've known since I was a teen, because she was every gay boy's superhero growing up.  Everyone wanted to be Wonder Woman, everyone wanted to dress like Wonder Woman.  Hell, when my sister and I went to play outside, we would get into a disagreement on who would play her part.  And being the drama queen that I was, I would win. Needless to say, I was older. :-)  I just wanted to do that 'spin'. LOL.

In either case, Carter has been singing since she was 13 or 14 years old, and she sang all over the country during her years as Wonder Woman.

On her music and her Wonder Woman role:

'It is an iconic character, and if the way to connect with people is the way they feel they can connect to me. In many ways, because they can connect to me, they will sample my music'

She also stated she was disappointed at the collapse of the new Wonder Woman series featuring Adrienne Palicki.

'I was really happy they were going to re-do it because the story is a great story and it needs to be re-told and go to another generation of people,' she said. 'I was really disappointed it didn't work out.'

Wonder Woman Was A Skateboarding Genius!

You see? This is the reason everyone has trouble writing a script, much less producing a movie or television show.
 
Lynda Carter was the one, and only Wonder Woman! She was a Skateboarding Whiz Too!

Will There Ever Be A Wonder Woman?

Why is it this female superhero can never fly off the runway in her invisible jet?  If people would stop comparing her to Lynda Carter's 1970's Wonder Woman, we may finally get somewhere.  

I'll be the first one to admit, I wasn't too happy with a lot of the stories I was reading online.  From the terrible script to the god-awful costume - Adrianne Palicki and David E. Kelley couldn't convince NBC the pilot was worthy of a television series.  If this were to happen to TNT's Dallas, I would be devastated!  But since it isn't, I'm okay with this not coming into fruition.  

Granted, there is still hope for some fans that it will be picked up by a cable network - but it's wishful thinking at best.  Hell, it's been 30 years since Lynda Carter donned the suit.  Maybe it's a sign telling writers and producers that Wonder Woman should be left alone.  Don't bother making a movie or a show, just let things be.

A Wonder Woman Update - Video Included

So is it a rumor if the president of NBC says something questionable?  Probably not.

We've already seen two previous versions of the costume Adrianne Palicki will be wearing as Wonder Woman, but our Amazon superhero could be sporting yet another costume - a 70's star-studded short similar to what Lynda Carter wore in the original series.   In a recent interview with TV Line, Robert Greenblatt took to defending David E. Kelley's remake of the famous superhero series, by saying  there could be a future "look" for Diana Prince.

"There was an initial outcry about the long pants - you know, skintight pants as opposed to those little shorts [worn by Lynda Carter in the original TV series]. But the shorts were always planned. They are actually used in the final confrontation when she beats Veronica Cale (played by Elizabeth Hurley)."

In other developing news, yesterday Lynda Carter appeared on the daytime talk show, The Talk, looking as beautiful as ever.  She revealed that she had been in talks with David E. Kelley and refused to confirm whether or not she would play a role in the remake.

'I've talked to David E. Kelley, who's a brilliant writer, a number of times and we're hoping to plan something,' she said. 'But I cannot reveal.'

Asked what she thought of the new Wonder Woman costume, Carter grinned, 

'I like my costume the best of course. They're trying to update with the way we're all doing leggings now and skinny jeans. I think it's kind of trying to do that. David E. Kelley is full of surprises, so you never know what's going to happen. He's a brilliant guy.'

And If The Queen Says It Shall Be, Then It Shall Be! - Part Deux

Who knew I would be using the same title for another post?  

Lady Gaga made that statement on the Jay Leno Show, back in February, when referring to an email from Madonna and her people wishing Gaga luck on her latest single, "Born This Way."

This time around I'm using it, because If the queen (Lynda Carter) says it shall be, then it shall be!  On Friday, Mark Malkin from Entertainment Weekly sat down and talked to Lynda Carter and here's what she had to say...

"I think she looks fabulous," said Carter, who originated the role in the classic (and oh-so-campy!) series in the mid-'70s. "It's a new look and, jeez, her body looks fantastic."

Carter wants everyone to give Palicki a chance.
 
As hard as it was to read, I'm siding with Lynda on this. I'm going to give Palicki a chance, if not for David E. Kelley, for the original Wonder Woman herself.

Will She Be Able To Pull It Off? Can She Be A Wonder?

Countless people have tried to emulate Lynda Carter, but to no avail, no one has been able to fill her shoes.  How can they?  Lynda Carter is absolutely beautiful and will forever be our 'true' Wonder Woman.  But as I mentioned last week, David E. Kelley is a superb writer and producer; he hasn't made a show yet that hasn't garnered many awards or created a show that I haven't liked.

Actress Adrianne Palicki has been picked to fill the shoes of our favorite heroine in the upcoming new NBC series Wonder Woman.   If you don't recognize her, it's because Palicki was on the TV series, "Friday Night Lights," where she played Tyra Collette, a blond Dillon High wild child who turned her life around and wound up going to college. The last two episodes of season five find her back in her hometown.

The new Wonder Woman series will be making it's debut in the Fall and people have already begun passing judgement on it.  And this is why... NBC has revealed that its new Wonder Woman series will add a third identity to the superhero’s life. According to TV Guide, the series will give Wonder Woman three separate identities. The first will be that of Wonder Woman herself, while the second will be Diana Prince, Wonder Woman’s civilian alter ego from the comic books. Meanwhile, the third identity will be that of Diana Themyscira, the CEO of Themyscira Industries. In addition, Wonder Woman will have a separate love interest for each identity: Henry Demeter, Diana Themyscira’s confidante, Ed Indelicato, a man with ties to the police and Steve Trevor, Wonder Woman’s boyfriend in the comics.


I'm a little concerned about the changes, but not by much.  I'm really curious to see how it will turn out and see if Adrianne can pull it off.  I for one, think she's really beautiful.  What do you think?
