Naomi Watts takes a bath

Naomi Watts stars in this thriller where she's captured by a bad guy who strips her before tying her up in a tub filled with water. I posted a clip of this several months ago, but this is a much better version of the scene.

Don't worry, she survives this predicament, which turns out to be a very nice scene with her struggling (successfully) to get herself free. This scene makes me want to see the movie (Shut In) once it hits video. Warning, this clip features female nudity.

You can see/download the clip here.

Another Deviant art picture is up!

Once again a gymnast finds herself on the wrong side of the ropes, and she's been trussed up by none other than her twin sister! The horrors! You can see the gymnast/evil twin horror right here.

Who should play Who?

Peter Capaldi, who plays Doctor Who, will be leaving after the upcoming tenth season. This video clip from What Culture gives some suggestions as to who can play the character after Capaldi leaves.

My favorite of the bunch is Haley Atwell, who played Agent Carter in the Captain America movies, as well as on the Agent Carter TV show on ABC (before it was cancelled). She's a great, personable actress who can easily carry a series.

Of course, having a female Doctor would change the whole dynamic with the Doctor's Companions, who are usually female. But the older Doctors from the seventies and eighties occasionally traveled with male companions, so there's no law saying the female Doctor can't have a female companion, either. She could also do what Matt Smith's Doctor did, when he traveled with Amy and Rory, and have a man and a woman companion team.

Another interesting choice here is Tim Roth, from Reservoir Dogs, and Rupert Grint, who played Ron in the Harry Potter films. We still have a lot of time before the final decision is made, of course. But it's always fun to consider the possibilities, which is what Doctor Who is really all about, anyway.

Lindsey Stirling does the Lord Of The Rings

Excuse the title for this post, which sort of makes it sound like a porno. I've recently discovered Lindsey Stirling in my travels on youtube, and here she does a nice melody from that classic film series.

I use the soundtrack from The Lord of the Rings to write my Ryta stories by, and the music is just as epic as the films. It's the perfect background for when I'm writing my own little epic.

Speaking of which, the tenth Ryta book is two thirds of the way done (in the first draft). And it's going very well. I've already got an idea for the cover, and I may even have the germ of an idea for Ryta number eleven. I'll keep you posted.

Because the weekend is almost upon us, and this dog looks exactly how I feel right now.

Almost, but not quite

A damsel in distress makes a bold escape...oh, wait, what's this?! Uh-oh. You can see my latest Poser Pic right here.

The Flash "Dead Or Alive" review

Warning, possible spoilers if you haven't seen the episode. About a month ago, I talked about the arrival of a new character named Gypsy on The Flash. Gypsy was supposed to be based on a superhero in the DC Comics universe, a young woman who usually went barefoot.

Well, having seen the episode, I can say that, unlike her comics' version, this Gypsy (played by Jessica Camacho) definitely wasn't barefoot--and I really wasn't expecting her to be, anyway. But what was surprising was how much they changed the character.

In the episode, she's a bounty hunter from Earth 19 (this is a parallel Earth in another universe, but why would the people from that planet call it number 19? The population of a planet would consider their home to be number one, the prime place in all universes, right? But I digress) who comes to take back HR Wells (Tom Cavanagh) for execution (traveling to parallel worlds is against the law on Earth 19).

When Cisco (Carlos Valdes) decides to fight for Wells, this creates a battle supreme across several parallel Earths--including Supergirl's, where Cisco and Gypsy wind up slugging it out in Jimmy Olsen's office in a great scene. Neither Supergirl nor Olsen are there to see this, but Olsen's secretary, poor Miss Teschmacher (Andrea Brooks), witnesses everything while hiding behind a desk. This was a really fun and inspired scene.

Despite the massive changes to Gypsy, I still enjoyed this episode very much. The Flash always manages to bring a sense of fun to the superhero proceedings, and this ep doesn't disappoint in that regard.
