cleolindaUpdate: Batch 2 is here.
All right, a more cheerful entry.
After talking to a few people, I made several more "Heroine Addict" icons. My strength in making graphics, as most of you have probably figured out, is simplicity. (Ha.) I'd like to think of it as a feminist (see: "Yes, You Are") sort of meme. Pass 'em on, make your own, make them better, add more, bring 'em here and show me. Take heroines from graphic novels, anime, cartoons, theater, movies, comics, I don't care. But if you make them, I'd love to see them, so come back and comment.
Oh, and leave more requests/suggestions if you have any.
Requests, arranged somewhat randomly:
Lord of the Rings
L-R, Harry Potter, Pirates of the Caribbean (2), In America
X-Men
L-R: League of Extraordinary Gentlemen (comic), Monsters Inc., Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon (still looking for a decent Michelle Yeoh picture), Whale Rider
L-R: Star Wars prequels (2), Mists of Avalon, Run Lola Run
Special bonus: Heroines from movies that haven't even come out yet!
L-R: Episode III, Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow, King Arthur, Phantom of the Opera

My primary interest in the Star Wars movies is 1) Natalie Portman's costumes with a secondary interest in 2) the hotness of Ewan McGregor... ;)

Padme Theory? What? Where?

Date: 2004-02-08 10:10 am (UTC)So my leap of logic is that, if Padme's already had the kids, and Anakin doesn't know where they are, that must be why he kills her. I know that he doesn't mean to kill her. He force chokes her, I guess trying to get her to tell (which is a dumb way to coerce information out of someone, really. "Where are they?" "Mmmgpghah!"), and it goes too far, and she dies. That's what I heard.
Keisha Castle-Hughes plays the new queen of Naboo (dude, they go through queens like Kleenex). The outfit in the picture (http://sirstevesguide.com/forums/attachment.php?attachmentid=7364), people think, is what she wears to Padme's funeral (hence the makeup tears).
That's all I know about that. There's a lot of stuff floating around about the Obi-Wan/Anakin duel and some Palpatine involvement, but I don't know enough to really fit it into a timeline in terms of the movie. Oh, and keep an eye on anyone playing a handmaiden. Previous handmaidens included Keira Knightley and Rose Byrne, who both went on to do big-budget Orlando Bloom movies, and Sofia Coppola. I want this job, man. ;)
Re:
Date: 2004-02-08 10:20 am (UTC)There was a lot of discussion of Leia's saying in ROTJ that she remembered her REAL mother and the verbiage of that conversation with Luke. People were saying that it was possible that she saw holoimages of her, OR Leia used the force to "remember" her even though she was very tiny at the time. OR she saw pictures of her foster mother or a handmaiden. I dunno, there were all kinds of spoilers and their accompanying denials/arguments. We'll have to wait a year to see what really happens!
Yeah, I saw that yesterday about Keira and Keisha. That's a cool pic, I hadn't seen that.

Date: 2004-02-08 02:30 pm (UTC)I've snagged the Whale Rider one for my use ... but I do have a suggestion! Reese Witherspoon as Elle Woods from Legally Blonde. Definite girl power vibe. I was skeptical at first, but I watched it the other night and now I am hooked.
What an awesome idea!
