Posters and stills: "The Other Boleyn Girl," "The Mummy 3," "Why Did I Get Married?" and more

I'm usually in need of inspiration on Mondays. What better way to get it than to peruse some pretty pictures? Let's start with the new poster for The Other Boleyn Girl, starring Scarlett Johansson and Natalie Portman.

I think that green dress must really be the other Boleyn girl, because it's taking up the whole damn poster. And Scarlett's lips are looking huge, even for her. But who am I kidding? All I can really see here are the names Johansson and Portman on the same poster. I'm in.

Kristin Scott Thomas is in this film too, BTW — where has she been lately?

Next, Tyler Perry's Why Did I Get Married? leaves me asking, "Why did I bother to upload this poster?"

There's not much I want to see in this movie (because, really, could it be more straight?), with the possible (and possibly very compelling) exception of Janet Jackson in a suit.



Or in whatever she wants to wear, really.

Next, a couple of stills from The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor, starring Maria Bello as Not Rachel Weisz.

Hmm. Still not Rachel Weisz. But how great are Michelle Yeoh's shoes in this next photo? Isabella Leong (Spider Lilies) seems impressed too.

And this one's been around for a little while, but it stops me in my tracks every time I see it. Cate Blanchett's face is mesmerizing.

Finally, a poster for Jodhaa Akbar, an Indian film scheduled to be released in the U.S in January. I don't know anything about the movie, but this is Aishwarya Rai, or at least some of her. It's a stunning poster that makes you want to see more. (Like, her face.)

Have you come across any cool posters or stills lately? I'm still somewhat uninspired.

    The Other Boleyn Girl is Ugly Betty???

    Anyone notice in the Other Boleyn Girl poster that Natalie Portman is wearing Ugly Betty's "B" necklace? Now THAT'S funny.

    Yeah, when I first saw

    Yeah, when I first saw Betty, I was wondering why she was in a replica of Anne's necklace. It's hardly the best comparison to draw, is it?

    Where has Kristin Scott Thomas been?

    She's been very busy, just not in films that make it across the pond. She's made a fair number of excellent French films (Petites Coupures, Arsene Lupin, Ne Le Dis a Personne), and theatre on the West End in London. Oh, and there have been a few genius English language films too, like Man to Man and Chromophobia, the first being one of her best English  films to date if you ask me. 

    So, there's lots of KST if you're willing to hunt for it.

    Oh, and in Ne Le Dis a Personne she plays a lesbian, in case that's of interest ;-)

    Isabella Leong's HOT

    Asian dykes have been raving about Isabella Leong recently as she's in a Taiwanese lesbian movie called Spider Lilies, directed by up and coming lesbian director Zero Chou, who's been compared to her fellow Taiwanese director Ang Lee. The film won the Berlin Film Fest (Queer )Teddy Award this year.

    check out the film's trailer (with subtitles). Sorry I don't know how to post a direct link.

    Isabella Leong

    I recently managed to come across a DVD of Spider Lilies, and was pleasently surprised. And yeah, Isabella Leong was by far my favorite part. I've been keeping up on the progression of the Mummy 3, just for her. I think she's INCREDIBLY charismatic, and can't wait to see her in this role.

    btw....

    Can someone give me a rundown of how to link a Youtube video to this website? I'm really tech challenged!

    Maria Bello

    I love Maria Bello but in that pic she reminds me of Geena Davis.  Not that I dislike Ms. Davis I just don't love her.  And I think I rather have a blond (ish) Maria.  Or maybe it is just the fact that I adored Rachel Weisz as Evie...  Doesn't matter, I'm sure I'll be seeing it.

    or maybe it's just my thing for redheads.

    omg maria bellow as a brunette? not only is that incredibly HOT, but the whole forties (or whatever era it's supposed to be) look is out of this world.

    what a gorgeous woman.

    Ahhhh! Natalie Dormer not Natalie Portman!

    I'm so excited for "The Other Boleyn Girl"! I love period films. But after watching "The Tudors" on showtime, I can't imagine anyone but Natalie Dormer playing Anne Boleyn. Her eyes are just so intense.

    natalie portman = a+
    scarlett johannson = ... not so much
    i find her (scarlett) to be oversexed, overrated, and overplayed.

    Looking forward to watch the film now.
