Charlize Theron messing up a perfectly good pergola in Aeon Flux.
Sigourney Weaver in the "And I'll miss you most of all, Scarecrow!" scene in Alien, where she emotionally recites the names of her friends before setting them all on fire.
Linda Hamilton using a nightstick to lay a beatdown on the mental facility staff in Terminator 2: Judgement Day.
The clip runs long to include her filling a syringe with drain cleaner
to terrify Earl Boen's character, Dr. Peter Silberman - the perpetually
unfortunate psychiatrist who appears in all three films in the series.
Carrie-Ann Moss in her debut scene in The Matrix, cutting down five cops in 22 seconds, including the slo-mo Karate Kid 2 crane move.
It's probably the most influential scene in any action movie of the
last ten years - it's been ripped off dozens of times already. [I
know, I know, they've been doing it for decades in anime, to reduce the number of frames needed. Doesn't matter.]
Angelina Jolie fighting a giant robot in Lara Croft: Tomb Raider. [Bleh.] AOL should have used the Route 7 chase scene from Mr. and Mrs. Smith.
The legendary Uma Thurman vs. Vivica Fox catfight from Kill Bill, Volume 1.
Ziyi Zhang flattening a bunch of cavalry riders and then taking out a half-dozen pikemen using cinema verité kung-fu in House of Flying Daggers.
And last but not least, Jessica "Biceps" Biel going all Buffy on
some bottom-dwelling skate suckers in the subway station scene of Blade: Trinity. That scene was completely derivative - "BtVS", The Matrix, The Untouchables, The French Connection, Lost Boys, etc - but somehow Jessica makes it seem fresh.
ActiveX controllers are required, which means it runs best under Internet Explorer rather than Firefox, Safari, etc.
I was browsing through a bookstore today while Christmas shopping, and
noticed two books that might interest readers of this site, though
they're unrelated to the core topic area of Amaz0ns.
The first is Physics of Superheroes,
a nicely grounded scientific analysis of what goes on in comic
books. It's well-crafted and amusing, and also takes a nice long
view of the history of comics in the US.
Virgin Mobile has launched a UK ad campaign featuring a hypermuscular
granny, called "Superbuff". The campaign is being run by London marketing firm DMC, with the spots and web site produced by interactive media shop 12foot6.
Amusingly, the "viral" marketing site appears to be down, or at least
not listed in DNS. I suspected initially that 12foot6 had set the
server to refuse net connections from North America, perhaps having
been too
successful at meme-spreading for its own good. So I pointed my
Mac at a public UK proxy server (to make it appear as if I were in the
UK), but the site still wouldn't load. Whois.sc confirms that
it's inactive. (There are Quicktime and WMV file links at
the DMC site.)
So in a couple days check Superbuff.com [dead link],
maybe by then it will be back up. In the meantime, they'd better
hope Richard Branson doesn't find out about this. I'm told he
eats people who disappoint him.
Many of you have probably noticed that I've added Kim Chambers' KimFlex site to the banner rotation. It's an explicitly adult site - NSFW.
Chambers is well known for her adult films work, including Busty Pom Pom Girls (2000) and Tit Happens (2004). She's been working out heavier the last few years and started competing in figure contests in 2002. KimFlex features a number of muscular models in addition to Chambers.
