There's this sick new video on YouTube. It's about eight minutes long, and it's being called a short film version of what the new Mortal Kombat movie could be. It's the greatest thing I've seen in a long time. This is almost as good as Chris Evans being cast as Captain America. That's only better because Chris Evans is sex in human form. And the costume ideas are endless. Anyways. Back to Mortal Kombat. It's amazing to watch this short movie over and over again. It's so cool. And it looks like a great re-imagining of the movie franchise. Jeri Ryan as Sonja Blade is a great casting call. I'm sorta getting sick of seeing a bunch of big titted twenty something no ones get all the comic book roles. The characters is in the comic books are older, some of them would be considered "ancient" by Hollywood standards. It's smart that Jeri offered to shoot the short film. Her Twitter said it was as a favor to a friend, well I hope she sticks with it. I don't know the actor who is Jax, but he is also older. So I'm in favor of it. It just looks like a great more-realistic-less-fanciful update of the series. I loved the second movie, that came out about twelve years ago. It was a favorite of mine to watch when I was having, or at, a sleep over. It was so fun to watch it and then run around a backyard or a basement pretending to fight evil and kill bad guys. Naturally, I was inclined to emulate Sonja Blade rather then SubZero or Johnny Cage. But, not a super big surprise there. At least I wasn't wanting to be Kitana. Yikes. The guys always used brawn instead of brain, and Sonja knew how to throw a kick and do gymnastics. Plus she had some great one liners. I know how to throw a kick, do gymnastics, and give great one liners. But whatever, it was all child's play. But life is still sort of like that in a way. I'm not participating in a round tournament containing the most lethal and gruesome fighters the world has to offer, (not yet at least) but I am fighting for my life. Instead of make believe bad guys it's Student Loan Collectors. And I'm not kicking the butt of an invisible demon, I'm trying not to get my butt kicked by my bills. Which are very not invisible, but rather scattered around my room. So if Hollywood promises to do their best to not fuck up another comic book adaptation that I'm strongly looking forward too (i.e. Elektra, Fantastic Four and Catwoman), then I will promise to do my best to keep on top of my bills and loans. Because I'm sick of the bills saying "Get Over Here!", and I keep telling myself "Finish Him!".
ps- make Johnny Cage hot.
Jax: Trust me, Sonya!
Sonya Blade: I only trust one person, Jax, and you're talking to her.
