<title>Prudes: Writer apologizes for underwear scene in Star Trek 2</title>
<link>http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,28312636</link>
<description><![CDATA[http://www.nydailynews.com/entertainment/tv-movies/star-trek-darkness-screenwriter-regrets-alice-eve-underwear-scene-article-1.1350804

  quote:'Star Trek Into Darkness' screenwriter Damon Lindelof regrets 'gratuitous' Alice Eve underwear scene
Film had been hit with criticism over scene, but actress herself defended director J.J. Abrams' handling of gender roles overall

 If &#147;Star Trek Into Darkness&#148; screenwriter Damon Lindelof could go back in time through some wormhole, there&#146;s one major change he&#146;d make to the script.

Amid some criticism over a scene in the sci-fi flick that has Alice Eve&#146;s Dr. Carol Marcus stripping down to her underwear on the flimsiest of pretexts, Linedlof apologized for the "gratuitious" scene.


Hello, it's Star Trek. It's supposed to have sexy Babes wearing almost next to nothing?
Recall the mini skirts of the Original series, or all the Women KirK had bedded on that show.
Then What about STNG, and a few of it's more "adult" episodes.

I didn't think anything about the underwear scene, nor did my wife. As it went along with what else was happening on the screen.

People need to get a life if they are getting upset over a women in decent underwear. Heck, now that it's summer, women will be wearing less at the beach, then what Alice Eve did in that 30 second scene.

<description><![CDATA[After eight episodes of consistent quality, I am somewhat speechless. The tone, pacing, writing and acting on this show is nearly flawless. 

First, everybody is perfectly cast. Mads Mikkelsen is nothing short of phenomenal. Hugh Dancy and Laurence Fishburne are great as well. 

The show succeeds at being creepy, charming and interesting all at once. 

Highly recommended watch. ]]></description>

<title>Game of Thrones star rebels over topless scenes</title>
<link>http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,28313993</link>
<description><![CDATA[http://www.telegraph.co.uk/culture/tvandradio/10066239/Game-of-Thrones-star-rebels-over-topless-scenes.html

 quote: Its combination of medieval fantasy and titillating nude scenes have helped to make Game of Thrones one of television&#146;s most popular dramas.

Now, however, a star of the series has disclosed that one of its leading actresses has refused to appear in any more topless shots.

Oona Chaplin, who plays the noblewoman Talisa Maegyr, tells Mandrake: &#147;One of the girls in the show who got her kit off the most in the first couple of seasons now doesn&#146;t at all because she said, 'I want to be known for my acting not for my breasts.&#146;&#8201;&#148; 


I'm not a prude, and enjoy seeing nude women in movies and such. But it depends on the movie. Porn yes, Hollywood, it depends.
Would Game of Thrones have been a hit without all the female nudity? I dunno, I would hope so.

Now it sounds like I'm being prudish, but I'm not. I just don't like gratuitous nudity, though I will admit to googling certain actresses to see if Mr. Skin has any nudes of them.

<title>&#x22;The Strain&#x22; on FX</title>
<link>http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,28313483</link>
<description><![CDATA[Original thread here: http://www.dslreports.com/forum/r27710485-Vampires-on-FX-The-Strain.

Latest casting news and general info: 

Deadline reports that Mia Maestro (Breaking Dawn) has joined the cast as Dr. Nora Martinez, who works with Stoll&#146;s Eph Goodweather as part of the Centers of Disease Control Canary Team, which is tasked with investigating new biological threats in New York City.

Nora is a pivotal role in the books, as she is a close colleague of Goodweather as well as an on-and-off lover. As the first book opens, the two of them are the first to investigate the mystery of a jumbo jet at JFK International Airport which seemingly lands itself and has gone completely dark. Together, they discover that all the passengers are evidently dead, and are the first to encounter the strain of vampirism which soon spreads.

Joining Maestro and Stoll are Jonathan Hyde (best known for his role as the delusional ship-owner in Titanic) and Richard Sammel (memorable as the proud Nazi sergeant in Inglourious Basterds who was beaten to death by Eli Roth&#146;s Bear Jew.) Hyde will portray Eldritch Palmer, who in the books is the third-richest man on earth and whose lifelong frailty and poor health has driven him to an obsession with immortality. His behind-the-scenes machinations with the vampire outbreak eventually bring him into direct confrontation with Goodweather.

Sammel will appear as Thomas Eichorst, a figure from the past who haunts one of the other central characters in the story, Professor Abraham Setrakian. The Professor &#150; who has yet to be cast &#150; is an expert in antiquities whose personal experiences with the vampire scourge date back to his time in a concentration camp. Without giving too much away, Setrakian first encounters Eichorst during World War Two&#133; and then again much later in life.From: http://screenrant.com/strain-tv-series-cast-characters/

<title>Arnold to appear in the Toxic Avenger reboot.</title>
<link>http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,28312457</link>
<description><![CDATA[http://www.newsday.com/entertainment/movies/arnold-schwarzenegger-s-back-in-the-toxic-avenger-1.5262684

 quote: WHO Arnold Schwarzenegger

THE MOVIE "The Toxic Avenger"

THE DEAL The former California governor is in talks to star in a reboot of the 1984 cult comedy, The Wrap.com reports. The original film, produced by the willfully schlocky studio Troma Entertainment ("Surf Nazis Must Die"), told the tale of skinny nerd Melvin Ferd III, who falls into a tub of radioactive waste and is transformed into a super-mutant. In a cheeky nod to his "Terminator" days, Schwarzenegger would play The Exterminator, a former black ops agent who trains the protagonist to use his powers for good, The Wrap says.


And another link with some more info.
http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/heat-vision/arnold-schwarzenegger-star-toxic-avenger-521793

I don't know if he can come back. Before becoming Governor, he was on his way down. And his first movie since returning to acting "Last Stand" didn't do so well at the box office.
Sure he was in the Expendables, but he didn't have to carry those movies.

I really don't want him in another Terminator film, Unless it's one to explain why the T-800 uses Arnold's likeness. I don't think he has the body for it, sure they could CGI him.

I have read that he may be looking to do a Twins 3 movie, as well.

<title>Star Trek: 5/17/2013 Into Darkness</title>
<link>http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,27782754</link>
<description><![CDATA[Is it May, 16, 2013 yet?

WARNING: Possible spoilers at the link below

http://herocomplex.latimes.com/2012/11/27/star-trek-into-darkness-plot-involves-unstoppable-force-of-terror/

 quote:The synopsis reads, in part: &#147;When the crew of the Enterprise is called back home, they find an unstoppable force of terror from within their own organization has detonated the fleet and everything it stands for, leaving our world in a state of crisis. With a personal score to settle, Captain Kirk leads a manhunt to a war-zone world to capture a one-man weapon of mass destruction.

***break***

It&#146;s too early to know for sure, but audiences will no doubt get even more clarity when nine minutes of the film is screened before Imax 3-D screenings of &#147;The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey&#148; when that film opens on Dec. 14.

<title>Oblivion in XD</title>
<link>http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,28221009</link>
<description><![CDATA[Last night I went with my cousin to see Oblivion at my local Cinemark theatre. They upgraded one of the screens to so called XD which is a bigger screen with bigger 7.1 sound. It cost $12 per ticket cause of the $2.50 premium for XD, but it was worth it in my opinion.

http://www.cinemark.com/theatres.aspx?type=1

http://www.cinemark.com/movie-detail.aspx?node_id=75676

The movie was really good. It seemed to me that the production was made by fans of Mad Max, Star Wars and Blade Runner. The CGI was outstanding as well as the sound. I wouldn't be surprised if it gets nominated for a cinematography oscar.

Jamie Lannister was one of the supporting actors.

<description><![CDATA[Not all strictly SciFi but probably of interest to some here. Click the links for the complete list of all shows, I'm just posting a few...

From FOX:

Almost Human (Drama)

Created By: J.H. Wyman (Fringe)
Producers: J.J. Abrams & J.H. Wyman
Starring: Karl Urban (Star Trek, Dredd), Michael Elay, Lili Taylor

Almost Human (working title) is an action-packed police drama set 35 years in the future, when police officers are partnered with highly evolved human-like androids. An unlikely connection is forged when a cop with an aversion to robots and a robot with unexpected emotional responses investigate cases in a brave new world.

From NBC:

Believe (Drama)

Created by: Alfonso Cuaron and JJ Abrams
Producers: Alfonso Cuaron (Children of Men), J.J. Abrams and Bryan Burk (Fringe)
Starring: Jake McLaughlin (Savages), Kyle MacLachlan, Delroy Lindo and Johnny Sequoyah

An unlikely relationship develops between a young girl named Bo (Johnny Sequoyah) with a gift and a man named Tate (Jake McLaughlin) sprung from prison who has been tasked with protecting her from the evil elements that hunt her power.

Believe is set to air at mid-season.

Crossbones (Drama)

Created by: Neil Cross
Producers: Neil Cross, Walter F. Parkes, Laurie MacDonald and Ted Gold
Starring: John Malkovich

It&#146;s 1715 on the Bahamian island of New Providence, the first functioning democracy in the Americas, where the diabolical pirate Edward Teach, aka Blackbeard (John Malkovich), reigns over a rogue nation of thieves, outlaws and miscreant sailors. Part shantytown, part marauder&#146;s paradise, this is a place like no other on earth, and a mounting threat to international commerce. To gain control of this fearsome society, Tom Lowe, a highly skilled undercover assassin, is sent to the pirates&#146; haven to take down the brilliant and charismatic Blackbeard. But the closer Lowe gets, the more he finds that his quest is not so simple. Lowe can&#146;t help but admire the political ideals of Blackbeard, whose thirst for knowledge knows no bounds. But Lowe is not the only danger to Blackbeard&#146;s rule. He is a man with many villainous rivals and one great weakness, a passionately driven woman whom he cannot deny.

Crossbones will air in mid-season.

Dracula (Drama)

Created by: Daniel Knauf
Producers: Daniel Knauf, Tony Krantz, Colin Callender and Gareth Neame
Starring: Jonathan Rhys Meyers, Victoria Smurfit, Thomas Kretschmann, Jessica De Gouw, Oliver Jackson-Cohen, Nonso Anozie and Katie McGrath

It&#146;s the late 19th century and the mysterious Dracula (Rhys Meyers) has arrived in London, posing as an American entrepreneur who wants to bring modern science to Victorian society. He&#146;s especially interested in the new technology of electricity, which promises to brighten the night &#151; useful for someone who avoids the sun. But he has another reason for his travels: He hopes to take revenge on those who cursed him with immortality centuries earlier. Everything seems to be going according to plan&#133; until he becomes infatuated with a woman who appears to be a reincarnation of his dead wife.
