Fancy Fembot

What’s purple and big and really, really cute?

Barney?

Don’t make me smack you!

No silly, it’s the heavy lifting power suit mech thingy from James Cameron’s upcoming movie Avatar. I’d heard of this movie in passing; thought the premise was interesting. The big display at E3 that everyone is drooling over is what caught my attention the most. On first look I thought it was pink. On second look, I saw it was purple and immediately thought of Sigourney Weaver in Aliens 2: Electric Boogalo. (I couldn’t resist.) The big difference with this cuteybot is that it’s made for shooting things. I think the BIG gun on the front won’t confuse you into thinking that this bot is happy to see you.

And SHUT UP! Sigourney Weaver is in this movie! *crosses fingers and prays* Please man the mech. Please man the mech.

And GET OUT! Sam Worthington is in this movie too! Sam is the new “it boi”!

AND ZOMFG! Zoe Saldana is in this movie too!

Ok. Ok. Liam Neeson is “a” god. According to SciFi Scoop, he will be playing Zeus in the upcoming remake (or re-imagining?) of Clash of the Titans that will come to screens in 2010. Newcomer Sam Worthington is getting some more work after Terminator. He will be playing Perseus. He was decent in Terminator so I wonder if he’ll be any good in this film. Hope so. Good luck cutie pie.

I took a good look at the cast list and I didn’t see a listing for Medusa. Medusa was my favorite part of the original Clash of the Titans. I can’t remember if she spoke or was just a monster that grrred.

Back to Liam Neeson. I can’t wait to see the first images of him. I wonder if he’ll be shirt-less? Or maybe they’ll give him Obi-Wan hair like in Star Wars Episode 1. In any case, I can’t wait to take my mom to see this movie. She is a fan of the original. If it pleases her, they will have done good.

I am some sort of breed of human who has a deep seeded desire to wear shiny metal clothing. If it’s tacky, shiny and silver, I want it! If everyone walked around metallic clothing, I would believe that I’d died and gone to heaven. I’m not sure where this taste in tackiness came from but I’m sure it has everything to do with being a child of the 80′s and a love of all things retro-futuristic.
