Aug 14 2009 'Amelia' Poster: Earhart Loves Mall-Based Clothing Outlets
Not even someone as historically relevant and respected as Amelia Earhart is safe from the classic ass-towards-the-camera poster design. The piloting glass ceiling may have shattered, but the show-me-your-ass ceiling still remains.

Jun 26 2009 'Amelia' Trailer: Old Guys, Please Refrain From Shouting "I Know How It Ends!" and Chuckling
Coming soon to lists of things that will probably win Oscars, Hilary Swank and Richard Gere in the melodramatic story of the world's greatest ladypilot: Amelia. As you can see in the above screenshot, the biopic seems to support my controversial theory that Earhart's disappearance was the result of arbitrarily climbing out of her plane, standing on the wings, and waving until she fell off. I knew it:
Aug 13 2008 'French Women Don't Get Fat' and 'Freaky Friday 2': Two Movies I'll Never See
Hilary Swank's production company has acquired the rights to adapt the book "French Women Don't Get Fat" into a feature film, which should be good news for anyone who would ever be retarded enough to complain that French women don't get fat. From Variety:
Hilary Swank and producing partner Molly Smith have acquired the rights to adapt the bestselling book "French Women Don’t Get Fat" for the duo to produce through their Alcon Entertainment-based 2S Films.Swank may star in the adaptation that’s being envisioned as a romantic comedy about the manager of a champagne company who learns some tough life lessons.
Heather Hach, who penned the remake of "Freaky Friday" and the "Legally Blonde" musical, will adapt the book.
First published in 2004, non-fiction tome became a bestseller for writer and former Champagne Veuve Clicquot topper Mireille Guiliano, offering insights on how French women manage to stay slim despite enjoying such calorie-rich fare as wine and pastries.
But here's the news from this story that really got me:
Hach is also working on a sequel to "Freaky Friday."
What? A sequel to Freaky Friday? A mom and teenager switched bodies because of an enchanted fortune cookie. Where do you go from there? They switch again? If my mind weren't so shaken from all the Kirk Cameron, I'd probably try to come with some other possibilities, but since it is, here's the trailer to KC's 1987 parent/child brain-swap movie, Like Father, Like Son. There's a theme today.

Jun 19 2008 New Shots from 'Amelia' (Earhart Biopic)
IMAGE REMOVED at request of Twentieth Century Fox Film Corporation
I think I went to the Halloween party where this was taken. Their costumes were obnoxious elementary school art teacher, pilot, and Richard Gere.
Apr 29 2008 'Amelia' Biopic Continues Looking Accurate
When I saw the first shot from the set of Amelia, I was shocked that Hilary Swank had little to no eyebrows for the role. Somehow I'd never noticed in my years of comprehensive Amelia Earhart photo study that her eyebrows were so non-existent. Not wanting to be caught unawares again, I studied up on the famous aviator. And thus, being so well-informed, I'm not at all surprised she has a gruesome, gnarled claw for a hand. That's just how it was. Also: that's Richie Geere as husband George Putnam.

Apr 18 2008 Hilary Swank as a Browless Earhart in 'Amelia'
What the hell--no eyebrows?! Where are her eyebrows?! How does playing Amelia Earhart equate to having no eyebrows? Earhart had eyebrows! I've seen pictures of her before--in fact, I'll look up some now--and I'm positive I would have noticed if she didn't have eyebr... hmm... interesting.
Alright, fine. Maybe Amelia Earhart really didn't have eyebrows. But she definitely didn't look so much like Cate Blanchett playing David Spade.

Oct 17 2007 Hilary Swank to Play Million Dollar Amelia Earhart
Sorry for the slow posts today, but that t.A.T.u. clip's combination of mindless content and false lesbianism sent me into a partial coma I have yet to fully recover from. Thankfully, no much seems to be going on. Except...
The always reputable Page Six is reporting Hilary Swank will star as Amelia Earhart in a biopic about the lost pilot, thus completing Swank's butch woman trilogy. When she gets her Oscar for this one, I hope she dedicates it to "Amelia... if you're still out there somewhere," because that would be really retarded.

Sep 20 2007 'P.S., I Love You' Trailer Will Ruin '300' for You
P.S., I Love You tells the story of a woman (Hilary Swank) with an obnoxious, arrogant, Irish douchebag husband (Gerard Butler) that she seems to have some affection for. Upon his death, however, the mediocre spouse suddenly becomes World's Coolest Husband, sending her on trips and acting really cool with her going out with dudes, all through a series of posthumous notes and recordings. Instead of finding it really f***ing creepy that her husband was so intricately planning for his untimely death, Swank follows the advice and ends up meeting a new douchebag, Harry Connick, Jr.
P.S., It looks wretched.
