Interesting indeed.  Doesn't totally jibe with the new AICN review (Though, it jibes enough to make me still believe the AICN review), but it seems to work as a balance between it and the first AICN review.  It's interesting just how many perceptions there are about this film from those who have seen it. 

I feel we need to have a discussion in regards to Vicki's suitcase...

In addition, Shadows teams up with the Blood Bank...

And what is really odd about the EW article  (Thanks for sharing, Sara Monster!) is that it mentions Bella in the list of stars, but leaves out Eva!  This is getting strange. 

 



Rated PG “for fantasy action/violence involving scary images and situations, and for a smoking caterpillar.”

I didn't say we.  I said people.   As far as I know, we here at DSF are a species far more powerful than just ordinary people.

But in all seriousness, I was referring to people who were hoping for the violence to be more serious and horror-filled, and not comic.  I, myself, don't know what comic horror violence is...  But I guess I am going to find out - and then I can decide afterwards if I like it!   

Yes, I think they did a nice job of combining Maggie and Vicki.  Because, imo, that is really what needed to be done.  Vicki was the catalyst for the show, but Maggie was the one who resembled Josette (and actually became wildly popular for that).  But since her name is Vicki, I'd rather she be an orphan.  We will see...

Oh, and I am not promising anything, but I have sent some feelers out in Hollywood.  I know someone who knows people who have worked on the film (Yeah... that sounds legitimate, right?) and she is going to see if she can get any info from them.  Hopefully it pans out.  If it does, that will be great.  If not... at least I tried. 

It's really odd, and I wonder what it means exactly.  They aren't cuts...  I am more fascinated than ever. 

Furthermore, I'd like to add that this blog post is making the rounds:

I certainly hope it's true.  It would seem to solidify what everyone involved has been saying. 

Many thanks for transcribing that, MB.  It was quite informative.

This is an interesting part of WB's viral campaign...

Plus the prizes include unnamed DS merchandise...  I hope we get to see some of it soon!
