Rage part II…

First off, the guy holding the microphone is an idiot, he keeps getting the boom mic in shot and he keeps hitting the chair with it. Come on man!

Acting is just as bad, if not worse. Annie is proving to be pretty bad at acting herself. Seems like she’s really getting into showing of her fetishes, one of which being feet.

Aleesha’s acting is ok, not that great. Mostly because I think it’s Annie doing the directing.

I think that the real purpose of this video is to show off Aleesha’s recent additions. While don’t get me wrong, I think she looks great and they really compliment her physique.

This could be so much better if there was someone who had a little more forethought and talent to write and direct as well as someone who is better and working BEHIND the camera.

I know this is a low budget feisth video, but come on guys, really?

Being that its a three studio production, shot probably over the course of a weekend. Some minor equipment rented or borrowed (camera, microphone, maybe a light), and then some editing time in Final Cut Pro or Adobe Premier. This could have been a lot better

*hits play again, mutes the sound and skips to watch Aleesha again*

My thoughts on Rage part 1

As I understand it Annie Rivieccio has been exploring the world of photography and video production. Not sure if Annie has been taking classes for this or not, but I think she has some skill talent in this. She has subject direction down ok for photography and her video direction is ok.

Though overall composition (and this goes for every woman’s physique photographer/videographer) is very poor. The shoots are often impromptu with little thought to shooting angle other than to take advantage of direct sunlight. Which means you get a crap background. Usually a parking structure, the back end of a hotel or hotel swimming pool and there’s people walking by, people staring, etc.

In Rage part one, I think the major factors that detract from it are the direction of the movie/videography and Rachel McMillan. Aleesha Young and Annie Rivieccio are both pretty good at playing out their roles and are into it enough to put real effort. But Rachel just isn’t into playing the part well and I don’t know if that’s intentional or not, but it hurts the movie. I also think that Rachel’s serious off season look doesn’t match up well with Annie and Aleesha’s physiques. It’s almost as if Rachel is a (and I hate saying this because I think guys like this are major creepy) schmoe.

I still look forward to parts two and three.

I am a little confused about that you’re talking about.

the term “ripped” is used to describe a bodybuilder’s vascularity and/or definition. I see NO vascularity on her….at all.

I would also say she is hardly “buffed”. She’s simply toned and very fit.

About Aleesha getting breast implants and their size…

What most of you are forgetting is that it is HER body and HER decision to get them and what size they are.

Granted she did get some rather large ones. Keep in mind that before she got them she did have some left over breast tissue/skin. It’s my guess that before she got into bodybuilding and built her incredible physique, she probably had very nice modest breasts and liked them a lot. Many women, whether they are bodybuilders or not, often lose size and shape in their breasts.

While we can all argue the pros and cons of breast implants and their size and what kind of woman gets them.

It really isn’t for us to decide or judge the person who gets them.

I’ve had two girlfriends and several close female friends, that got breast implants. They all asked my thoughts/input.

My answer to all them was this….

“I think it’s great that you feel comfortable asking me about this. But I really think that this is something that I shouldn’t have a lot of influence on. My stance is to remain as neutral as possible. My advice to you is to weigh the pros and cons and to really ask yourself is that what you really want. What is the driving factor in your desire for implants? Ultimately it will come down to how will it make you feel when it’s all over. If you think that breast implants will help you feel better or more complete as woman then by all means go for it. If you have any doubts, hesitation or anything else that would make you choose not to. Then they probably aren’t for you.”

As much as I would have liked to have told them all yes, I think you shoudl get them (I personally like breasts, medium to large ones. Real or implants doesn’t matter to me). My personal desire should be the last factor in THEIR decisions. My two ex’s both got implants and were very appreciative of my answer. My friends however were a little more negative in their response to my answer. They thought I wasn’t “on their side” (go figure).

I think everyone who has seen the new Aleesha should be supportive of her decision and new look.

Just my two cents

I disagree…she is NOT ripped. She’s not showing any vascularity, not showing any striations in her muscles.

She is simply very toned/has well defined muscles.

She does look great though.

This has more detailed info….

Those who’ve been hoping for a new chapter of the “Battlestar Galactica” story may get their wish.
An online series called “Blood & Chrome” is in the works, one that would follow the experiences of a young William “Husker” Adama in the first Cylon War.

According to Mark Stern, Syfy’s executive vice president of original programming and the co-head of original content for Universal Cable Productions, “Battlestar Galactica” and “Caprica” co-executive producer Michael Taylor will write the the script for the new venture.
battlestar galactica “Blood & Chrome” is “about a young man’s initiation into war: both the realities of war as fought by soldiers on the ground (and in Battlestars and Vipers), and the somewhat less real version portrayed in the media,” according to Taylor.

“Blood & Chrome” would consist of nine or 10 episodes of nine or 10 minutes each, and it would make use of cutting-edge digital technology and special effects to depict the Cylon War. If it is greenlit to production, it will be filmed using green screens and virtual sets, not unlike Syfy’s “Sanctuary” or James Cameron’s “Avatar.” Before “Battlestar Galactica” ended, high-tech scans were made of all the show’s sets, so that the special-effects team will be able to re-create them (possibly even in 3D).

“I’ve seen the virtual, 3D version of CIC [‘Battlestar’s’ Combat Information Center] and it’s pretty damn cool,” Taylor said. “And yet the movie isn’t confined to Galactica. Far from it. It’s a story that will take us to new corners of the ‘Battlestar’ world (or worlds), and yet it aims to be a very contemporary war movie in a lot of ways. I would say I’m thinking as much of Afghanistan and Iraq–the reality of ‘Hurt Locker,’ Sebastian Junger’s ‘Restrepo,’ and similar movies–as I am about about the largely implied past of ‘Battlestar.'”

Though Taylor said he’ll strive for the kind of emotional engagement that was the hallmark of “Battlestar,” which ended in 2009, expect lots of of cliffhangers and visceral suspense as well. “We’re not going to be shying away from R-rated blood and guts and sex,” Taylor noted. “Because this is initially meant to air online, we pretty much have no restrictions in that department.”
It’s not known yet if “Blood & Chrome” would star Nico Cortez, the actor cast as young Adama in “Razor,” a previous “Battlestar Galactica” movie. There may be one other character from “Razor” in the new online series, but it would feature a mostly new cast.

If “Blood & Chrome” is successful, it could be the first a series of similar projects, and if it’s judged very successful, it could even act as a backdoor pilot for a TV show set in that war-torn “BSG” era.

Speaking of the Cylon War, “Caprica,” a Syfy drama that depicts events leading up to that conflagration, visited Comic-Con over the weekend. Audio of the panel and a brief panel report are below.

Caprica Comic-Con panel

Judging by the Season 1.5 clip shown at the start of the show’s panel, when “Caprica” returns in January, it will have a lot more action, narrative tension and drive. The show, which was disappointingly uneven in its first set of episodes despite its strong cast, certainly needed all those things.
Now that “Caprica’s” world and characters have been established, the show’s challenge is to “create situations and dramatic milieu as intense and riveting as what we did on ‘Battlestar,'” executive producer David Eick said at the Comic-Con panel. That’s the goal for the second half of the first season and for the second season, if the show gets one.

In Season 1.5, James Marsters will return as terrorist Barnabus Greeley, Scott Porter will be back as polygamist Nestor Willow and John Pyper-Ferguson will return as Tomas Vergis, a business rival of tech titan Daniel Graystone.

Barnabus is “looking out on a society that’s eating itself alive as far as he’s concerned. …. He’s disgusted,” said Marsters, who was on the panel (and who, by the way, confirmed that he’ll reprise his role as Brainiac in the 200th episode of “Smallville”).

“Caprica” will also return to New Cap City, a virtual game that was effectively showcased in Season 1’s most compelling episode, “There Is Another Sky.” That hour found Tamara, a character who was dead in the real world, trapped in a videogame in which she found she had special powers.

Virtual worlds like New Cap City will be important as the show moves forward, as will the robots that Daniel Graystone created in the wake of his family’s personal trauma. Creating a slave class of robots will have serious consequences for Caprical going forward.

And in the second half of the season, viewers will see many more iterations of Zoe, the young woman who was instrumental in the creation of the Cylons. When it comes to what Zoe does in the second half of the season, “I don’t think you’re expecting what’s going to happen,” actress Alessandra Torresani said at the panel.
Will “Caprica” get a second season? Ronald D. Moore, “Caprica” co-creator and executive producer, said on the panel that he “firmly believes” it will. That decision will be made in coming weeks by Syfy executives.

One last tidbit related to the “Battlestar” world: Taylor is also developing a potential Syfy pilot for Scott Stuber’s Stuber Productions. It’s tentatively called “The Watchers,” and it deals in the kind of contemporary social and political issues that “Battlestar” frequently explored.

It’s set in the world of corporate espionage, and the characters at the center of the drama worry about the power they’ve been given to spy on the lives of ordinary citizens — yet having such power also allows them to do good as well.
