Dan Harmon Is Returning To COMMUNITY
Dan Harmon is heading back to Greendale.
Almost a year to the day after Sony kicked Harmon off COMMUNITY for reasons never fully disclosed but heavily hinted at (Harmon has since admitted he difficult to work with and that his very public feud with star Chevy Chase didn’t endear him to the suits at NBC), he announced Friday via his Twitter that he’ll be returning as showrunner for the fifth season.

Adamantium Women #43: Elsa Pataky
Funny thing happened this weekend as I was watching FAST FIVE, I found myself completely transfixed by the little lady playing The Rock’s interpreter. Gal was quietly crafting a real character right in the middle of a f**king FAST AND THE FURIOUS pic. Impressive. Thing was, I couldn’t remember where I’d seen her before. The name “Elsa Pataky” didn’t ring any bells and I spent a good portion of the movie racking my brain trying to figure out where I’d seen her before.
Incidentally, this kind of memory loss happens to me quite a bit. I see an actor or actress that I can’t quite recall where I saw them before and I go crazy trying to figure out where I know them from. The answer usually triggers in the middle of the night, while I’m half-asleep. I’ll spring straight up in bed and yell out “SNEAKERS! You know, the one that Mary McDonnell had to record in order to get the password! Stephen Tobolowsky!!”. This is usually followed by AngieBee slapping me upside the head which results in me going to sleep realizing that I’m a dumbass.
Anyways, I opted out of the “middle of the night revelation” thing and instead went straight to IMDB once the movie was over. And guess what? It didn’t help. I still don’t know where I recognize Pataky from. Oh sure, I’ve seen a couple of films on her resume, but the majority of her stuff is foreign-made pics that I’ve never seen. A quick glance reveals that she’s been romantically linked to Adrien Brody and that she is currently married to Chris Hemsworth (THOR) but I’m pretty sure that isn’t where I know her from. The Google search simply turned up hundreds (if not thousands) of skintastic pics of Pataki (a good many of which I am about to share), but that still isn’t where I know her from.
Probably going to go crazy trying to remember what film I remember her from, but oh well. Can’t really do anything about it now except for drop a few comments on some of her previous work and suggest that you check out FAST FIVE. Pataky, aside from being drop-dead sexy, is easily the best thing in the film outside of the vehicular mayhem.

Adamantium Women #42: Emma Roberts
Up until the release of SCREAM 4, Emma Roberts was one of those actresses who always struck me as very talented but who had yet to really discover her potential and exploit it. Daughter of b-movie legend Eric Roberts and niece to Julia Roberts, Emma should’ve been an instant star.
You don’t come from that level of pedigree and not immediately walk out a megastar. Well, I guess you can, but Emma should’ve gone further than her career is at this point. Might be hard to believe with recent credits like SHARKTOPUS and WITLESS PROTECTION cluttering up his resume, but Eric Roberts hit big almost immediately back in the day. Dude did an opening one-two punch of THE POPE OF GREENWICH VILLAGE and RUNAWAY TRAIN back in 84/85. As for Julia, I don’t think I need to remind you that her first two big roles were in STEEL MAGNOLIAS and PRETTY WOMAN. There’s no excuse why Emma shouldn’t have been a bigger star by now.
SCREAM 4 is a nice start on a path to better things. Anyone who has seen that flick knows that Roberts totally owns the movie, outshining series vets Courteney Cox, David Arquette and Neve Campbell. Emma’s recent forays into the indie world are also a step in the right direction. My only hope is that she bails on making anymore kid’s pictures. Dopey stuff like HOTEL FOR DOGS, AQUAMARINE, SPYMATE and 40 episodes of something called UNFABULOUS might be why it has taken so long for this gal to hit the big time.

The Girls Of SUCKER PUNCH: Jena Malone
In honor of SUCKER PUNCH, we here at Adamantium Bullet are going to throw a spotlight on the five lovely leading ladies of the flick. Expect copious amounts of sexy pics, a little bit of commentary on their careers thus far and not much else. Enjoy!
Out of all the lovely ladies of SUCKER PUNCH, Jena Malone is the seasoned pro. Forty-three credits in a little over fifteen years? That’s impressive. Really impressive when you realize that Malone has figured out how to deftly move between micro-budget pics, indies and blockbusters.
What’s even more impressive is that Malone has appeared in quality stuff like CONTACT, COLD MOUNTAIN, DONNIE DARKO, LIFE AS A HOUSE, PRIDE & PREJUDICE, THE RUINS, INTO THE WILD and THE MESSENGER. And that’s the shortlist! Scope out her IMDB page and you’ll see that this gal has dabbled in every genre and has delivered solid performances across the board.

The Girls Of SUCKER PUNCH: Jamie Chung
In honor of SUCKER PUNCH, we here at Adamantium Bullet are going to throw a spotlight on the five lovely leading ladies of the flick. Expect copious amounts of sexy pics, a little bit of commentary on their careers thus far and not much else. Enjoy!
Jamie Chung is a moderately talented actress in search of a decent role. Since her debut on THE REAL WORLD nearly five years, Chung has tried hard to ditch her reality show roots and get herself acknowledged as a real actress. In those five years, she’s amassed nearly twenty credits and guess what? There isn’t a winner in the bunch.
Yeah, SUCKER PUNCH is probably going to change all that. But the catch is that Chung is an okay actress who keeps getting saddled with sub-par work. Is it her good looks that prevent her from being cast in serious roles? I mean, seriously, half of Chung’s career has been spent playing sorority sisters, bimbos and babes. Eye candy is fine and all, but this gal needs something more substantial.

The Girls Of SUCKER PUNCH: Vanessa Hudgens
In honor of SUCKER PUNCH, we here at Adamantium Bullet are going to throw a spotlight on the five lovely leading ladies of the flick. Expect copious amounts of sexy pics, a little bit of commentary on their careers thus far and not much else. Enjoy!
Vanessa Hudgens. Just uttering her name sends thoughts of naughty cell phone pics, Zac Efron and marionettes swirling through my head. Is that weird? I mean, she did have the whole cell pic fiasco and she did/was/is date Efron for a few years. And she was in the live-action THUNDERBIRDS movie, so I guess that’s where the marionette thing came from despite the fact that she was real and decidedly not a puppet. Incidentally, that flick wasn’t that great. You might do well to avoid it.
Depending on your age, you might want to avoid most of this gal’s work. Regardless of sexy pics and her frequent skin-tastic photoshoots, Hudgens is a Disney kid through and through. Outside of the HIGH SCHOOL MUSICAL movies, she’s appeared in stuff like THE SUITE LIFE OF ZACK AND CODY, DRAKE & JOSH, BANDSLAM (not technically a Disney movie, but it may as well have been) and DISNEY 365. So, unless you’re a tween or have a child, you might want to avoid most of this stuff.

The Girls Of SUCKER PUNCH: Abbie Cornish
In honor of SUCKER PUNCH, we here at Adamantium Bullet are going to throw a spotlight on the five lovely leading ladies of the flick. Expect copious amounts of sexy pics, a little bit of commentary on their careers thus far and not much else. Enjoy!
I only four things about actress Abbie Cornish. Number one: She’s the gal that reportedly broke up Ryan Phillippe and Reese Witherspoon’s marriage which I guess makes her a home wrecker. Not that I’m judging her or anything, but that’s really the main thing that springs into my mind when I see this gal.
Moving along to number two, Out of her 20+ credits, I’ve only seen one: Ridley Scott’s A GOOD YEAR. I happened to like to that flick, but I realize that most people didn’t. And if I’m being completely honest, I don’t recall Cornish’s role very well. I know she’s in it, but I just can’t remember as what. Outside of that, I haven’t seen anything else this gal has been in which means I really cannot comment on any of her other credits.

The Girls Of SUCKER PUNCH: Emily Browning
In honor of SUCKER PUNCH, we here at Adamantium Bullet are going to throw a spotlight on the five lovely leading ladies of the flick. Expect copious amounts of sexy pics, a little bit of commentary on their careers thus far and not much else. Enjoy!
First up, uber-cutie Emily Browning. Is it just me or this gal not in enough movies? The last time she was on the big screen was in 2009’s THE UNINVITED and before that was 2004’s LEMONY SNICKET’S A SERIES OF UNFORTUNATE EVENTS. Count in the I-have-no-idea-what-the-hell-this-is TV movie STRANDED and her appearance in SUCKER PUNCH and that makes only four performances in the last seven years. Something about that just doesn’t seem right.

Adamantium Women #41: Teresa Palmer
Teresa Palmer is one of those actresses who always seems to be on the cusp of exploding into the public consciousness, but then something (whether it be poor career choices, aborted projects or roles that never materialize) happens that totally prevents that from happening. I like to call this the “Michelle Monaghan Syndrome”. Monaghan is a fine actress who, thanks to a career built on being deleted out of major films (CONSTANTINE, MR AND MRS SMITH) and being cast in great films that receive little love (KISS KISS BANG BANG, GONE BABY GONE, TRUCKER), has never really become a household name. The same can be said about Palmer.
For Palmer, 2007 to 2008 was the point where her career could’ve really taken off but instead launched into a holding pattern. The first blow came when she was re-cast in JUMPER. Her and Tom Sturridge were the original leads in that picture, but were replaced after two months of filming due to a rising budget and the fact that Fox wanted more recognizable actors.
Second came the announcement that she would play Wonder Woman in George Miller’s JUSTICE LEAGUE: MORTAL film. In the case of that picture, rising budgets killed it before a single frame of film was shot and Palmer once again was denied the lead in a major motion picture.
Finally came her being cast opposite Topher Grace in TAKE ME HOME TONIGHT. This was 2007. You might note that this flick is set for release in two weeks. That’s right, TONIGHT took nearly four years to reach the big screen. Since filming it, Palmer has been in four other films, none of which have done much for career. It should also be noted that she’s currently attached to MAD MAX: FURY ROAD, another big budget pic that might never happen.
What’s awful about all this is that Palmer is actually a pretty good actress. She’s definitely easy on the eyes (reminds me a bit of a hotter, blonder version of Kristen Stewart) and she doesn’t have anything terribly embarrassing on her resume. Not to mention the fact that she’s got a killer Aussie accent that is music to the ears. And it helps that she’s has a likable screen persona. Even in a role that requires her to be bitchy and pompous (see her “Paris Hilton” character in BEDTIME STORIES), you can’t help but dig this gal.
