Sam Raimi and Rob Tapert are shifting their attention from Evil Dead to Angels of the Apocalypse. The filmmakers have teamed up with Good Universe to acquire multipicture rights to Susan Ee’s bestselling Amazon Publishing book series Angelfall. The project sounds like it has the potential to be a Hunger Games -type franchise. Raimi and Tapert will produce while Good Universe principals Joe Drake and Nathan Kahane will take executive producer credits for what the players obviously envision as a film franchise. Lucy Stille of Paradigm brokered the deal. Ee, a lawyer-turned-writer, initially self-published Angelfall, and after being courted by a number of publishing houses chose to have her debut novel released through Amazon Children’s Publishing. The book became an instant success, topping Amazon’s Most Wished For Teen Book list and ranking fourth on the Young Adult best seller list just behind the Hunger Games trilogy. She will publish a second Angelfall book in fall 2013. If you’re not familiar with the universe Ee has created, here’s the Angelfall synopsis that was included in the announcement. Do I detect a whiff of Legion in the plot? Six weeks after angels of the apocalypse descend to demolish the modern world, street gangs rule the day while fear and superstition rule the night. When warrior angels fly away with a helpless little girl, her seventeen-year-old sister Penryn will do anything to get her back… even if that means making a deal with an enemy angel Raffe, a warrior who has been left bleeding and wingless. Having only each other to rely on for survival, the two journey towards the angel’s stronghold where she must risk everything to rescue her sister and he must decide whether to put himself at the mercy of his enemies for the chance to be made whole again.

She is Miss Universe Ireland 2010 and now she’s miss girl who’s shiny cheap looking panties I want to masturbate on to see my sperm drip off of….but would fear that my sperm would dissolve the shit…and not due to it’s toxicity thanks to hard drinking and bad living…but do to the cheap as fuck lookin quality of the fabric…you know some “don’t get this wet” it will turn into something horrible and poisonous like sulphuric acid and that should be recalled from China….if it wasn’t jacked up against this Miss Universe Ireland 2010 Rozanna Purcell’s hot body… But I will say, the cheap panties work for me, they remind me of all I’ve ever known on the caliber of woman I have bedded, and I like how they make her a little less pageant and a lot more pornstar…
You’re a procrastinator. You waited until the last moment to figure out your Halloween costume, and now you need ideas, fast — preferably ones that will impress your fellow movie nerds. Fear not! Here are 9 easy-ish cinephile-ready costumes inspired by some of this year’s most memorable films… CLOUD ATLAS What do six interconnected characters in six time periods spanning from the 19th century Pacific to the future where Tom Hanks speaks the true-true have in common, despite wildly divergent costumes and fake noses and whatnot? THAT BIRTHMARK. Draw on your own Cloud Atlas comet mark of the Chosen One anywhere – your shoulder, the back of your head, your left butt cheek — and you’re set. The best part: You can literally look like anyone and it still works. Just whatever you do, do not attempt futuristic Asianface . PITCH PERFECT Here’s a group costume for you and 5-6 of your multi-culti friends: Dress campus casual and walk around in a pack all night singing pop songs a cappella and challenging random strangers to riff-offs while shouting Pitch Perfect -isms like “Aca-awesome!” SEVEN PSYCHOPATHS To channel Colin Farrell or any of his eccentric cast mates in Martin McDonagh ‘s madcap crime comedy, all you really need is one key accessory: A Shih Tzu. Carry the pooch around all night and you’re set. Bonus if you do it in a Christopher Walken accent . If you happen to resemble Tom Waits , a white bunny is a lot less costly to procure. THE MASTER Joaquin Phoenix ‘s hunched, feral Freddie Quell can be achieved with just the right attire, posture, and off-kilter touch of insanity. Start with a button-down shirt tucked into pants pulled up to an Ed Grimley-level and slouch your shoulders forward. Carry a few makeshift beakers and jars with you and wherever you go, mix a batch of your special potions from assorted household liquids while pacing and licking windows. And voila ! SKYFALL If you’re a dapper dan who happens to have a Tom Ford fitted suit pressed and hanging in the closet, Halloween’s a cinch: Dress to the nines, grab a Heineken, and spend the evening fixing your cufflink like a boss . PROMETHEUS Don’t have a futuristic space suit lying around the house? No worries, ladies. Strip down to a white bandeau bra and panties, spatter yourself with black creature goop and run around screaming as if there’s a giant space monster right behind you. Lug around a decapitated mannequin head for extra emphasis. You might be cold, but you’ll be the baddest lady in the universe. MAGIC MIKE Fellas can get in on the scantily-clad action too, although the women of the world may prefer it if you have Channing Tatum’s abs and sense of rhythm. Maybe a speedo-vest-cowboy hat combination, a la Matthew McConaughey? Or a g-string, for those who dare? Bring along a boombox and have Ginuwine’s “Pony” queued up. You might even make some cash in the process. THE COMEDY Don your trust-fund hipster polo and boat shoes and walk around making a joke of everything a la Tim Heidecker (of Tim and Eric fame) in the new pic The Comedy ; singing the infectious mantra “No no tip” will really tie the outfit together, although anyone who hasn’t yet seen the movie will just think you’re a giant douche. THE GREY Fish a dirty long-sleeved thermal out of the laundry, smear a few smudges of fake blood on your face, and tape broken minibar bottles to your fists and you’re prepped for action, Liam Neeson-style . Plus: You get to drink the contents of those minibar bottles first, and you’ll be ready for any wolves that may cross your path. Follow Jen Yamato on Twitter . Follow Movieline on Twitter .
My name is Kailee, this is my 2nd Bieber experience. My last one was on Feb 2011 about a basketball game I saw Justin playing in. It’s been about over a year since I last saw him but I’ve never met him…until now. LEMME JUST SAY HE DID THE CUTEST THING EVER. First we have to go back August 17 (which is my birthday) , my mom usually gives me her birthday present to me in the morning but on that day she didnt. I didn’t know what to expect but at the restaurant when it came time for opening presents. She gave me hers last, she started video taping when I opened the box. Inside the box was a piece of paper that read “Happy 15th Birthday Sweetheart! You deserve meeting Justin in person!” At the bottom, it had Justin Bieber meet and greet tickets for the Staples Center Los Angeles on Oct 2. I looked at the camera and started crying my eyes and I said to my mom, “Are you serious?!” I was so excited to get to meet my love but it was so unreal to me, until I got to the concert arena. On Oct 2, 2012 I left 4th period early and went to L.A. At around 4:15 my mom and I got our wristbands and passes. They said no hugs or kisses were allowed unless Justin did it himself and strictly no autographs. I was one of the first people in line to meet justin. Kenny and Moshe opened the black curtain and say “Stand over there in front of the backdrop” JUSTIN WASN’T ANYWHERE. Then I look to my left and I notice somone is hiding behind the black curtain. I look at the shoes and they’re pink sneakers. I thought to myself, would Justin wear pink sneakers? I thought it was Carly Rae Jepsen or somone else. All of sudden out of nowhere Justin pops out and yells “AGGH” and see him and out of excitement and half scared I scream so loud! i just go and hug him and justin hugs back. We take the picture, I was hugging him very tightly so he gripped his arm on my shoulder as tight as I was hugging him lol. Then I didn’t care if there was no autographs allowed, I wanted it SO bad so I asked anyways. “Justin, can you please sign the back of my Girlfriend jacket?!” Kenny and Moshe were like, “No you can’t do that” but Justin stopped them and said, “No it’s okay.” He signed the back of my jacket and after I hug him again and say thank you! When I pull away, Justin had his arm around my waist and he’s inches from my face and he winks at me. I LEGIT DIED. He was so perfect and he treated me like a long lost best friend, it was amazing. I like to say we played “hide and seek” together haha but that is the best day of my life. Justin is the most cutest thing in the world. He completly made my life. Your bieber experience will come I promise! -@Fuhugmebieber More: My name is Kailee, this is my 2nd Bieber experience. My last one…
James P. Molinaro just pissed off 25 million Little Monsters and possibly women everywhere. The Staten Island borough president called Lady Gaga a slut yesterday. In what context, you ask? To kick off an anti-drug abuse initiative, Molinaro showed off a poster-sized photo of Gaga smoking marijuana on stage in Amsterdam (where it is legal) this month. He said: “We have to understand there’s a tremendous influence with our youth, which I didn’t have as a youth. And there’s the influence right there. Stop glorifying drug use.” “There’s Gaga. Here’s this … I’d call her a slut. This slut is influencing many, many children.” Putting aside his point about marijuana and the obvious counterpoints – weed is legal in the Netherlands, so she broke no laws, and if you don’t want Gaga influencing your kids , don’t send them to Gaga concerts – the use of “slut” is beyond absurd. Not according to Molinaro, though. He looked it up! “Looking up the word ‘slut’ to see if it was properly used before I used it, it said ‘improper conduct,'” Molinaro told the New York Times . “Now, isn’t it improper for someone who is so high profile to be smoking reefer in front of children? I have grandnieces that idolize her – 12 and 13 years old – and it’s ridiculous.” “You see these young girls walking around on Halloween with her outfit on.” Lady Gaga Smokes Weed on Stage It’s true that the Random House dictionary definition notes that in the 15th century, the word was used to describe “a woman given to immoral or improper conduct.” However, here in 2012, it implies sexual promiscuity, something Gaga has never been associated with; she’s in a monogamous relationship with Chicago Fire ‘s Taylor Kinney now. Molinaro lost his son to an overdose in 2006, and one can certainly respect his anti-drug efforts as a public official to spare other families that unthinkable tragedy. Nevertheless, his word choice makes unfair assumptions about Lady Gaga’s private life and perpetuates misogyny, while singling out a relatively harmless incident no less. Meanwhile, “slut” Lady Gaga revealed her ongoing struggle with eating disorders and offering support to young men and women who might be experiencing devastating body issues. What a horrible individual.
