Just a gentle reminder to local movie fans: there is now a mere three hours until After Dark Films' self-imposed 2 p.m. deadline to remove the disturbing Elisha Cuthbert snuffboards looming over the city's roads, leaving you precious little time to wander out to a nearby intersection, gape in disgust at the unapproved images ("Personally, I wasn't going to go with this campaign. I thought it was OTP (over the top)," scandalized printing company mix-up victim [and After Dark CEO Courtney] Solomon told the Reporter. "Nothing like this can ever happen again.") that misrepresent the movie's uplifting message of female empowerment, and then return to your desk to research what you can do to help this country's 850,000 annual kidnapping victims. Hurry, for time is running short to raise your awareness of the important issue being championed by the brave studio.

Can you actually call yourself a "studio" if your studio is run out of your kitchen? Then again, Solomon does call himself a "director".
"Nothing like this can ever happen again", quote continues, "but we are still going to release the vile snuff flick as planned."
Another version of the rape-torture genre of entertainment.
OK for those of us not in LALA land, could someone clarify the third panel?
It looks like a super long lee press-on nail in the nose - which was always one of those Guinness Book of World Record conundrums for me ... how do those people with the crazy long nails wipe their asses?
But I digress ... can I get out of this one by just watching The Accused again for my uplifting female empowerment fix?
@invalid-username: You are so obviously not from LA as the quality (or lack thereof) of the breast implant in panel four seems to have escaped your notice. See, if you were in LA, you would have been able to tell us the name and partial client list of the plastic surgeon responsible, as well as the manufacturer.
Also, regarding the four panels, seems that Solomon has saved us the expense of going to see this masterpiece by giving us all the woman-empowered plot points straightaway. Golly, what else this genius and his slew of "executives" come up with next?
Those are Lee Press-On Tubes of Blood-like substance, I think.
Question: can't they just rename it "the Passion of Elisha" and sell it to the fundies?
Let it be a warning - when cosmetic surgery goes wrong...
Someone's initials are on the proof. Keep talking Solomon.
Didn't Jolie just finish saying about five minutes ago that she was now going to be a stay-at-home mother and devote herself to her three acquisitions, one natural spawn? It's March. Film starts shooting in May. Wow, she is SO good and virtuous!!!
I am so sick of her and her veiny forehead and frightening alien hands and arms.
oh my goodness, i posted on the wrong thread. i do apologize.
I'm sure there's an amusing remark about Jolie and female empowerment to be made, but it's beyond me at this hour.
I just wanted to say that these people are obviously lazy and just stole the storyboards from The Willy Pickton Story. Lion's Gate...hmmmm, not a million miles from the courthouse, either.
As a reasonable intellectual, I never used to think that Americans as a whole were a disgusting culture.
But this is really pushing my envelope of rational tolerance. I'm serious. The philosophic statements made by the existence of this single movie are really moving me close to knee-jerk-anti-Americanism.
And when I'm backpacking through Belgium, and I see a loud-talking American hitting on a cute girl, the only thing I'll be thinking is "abduction. confinement. torture. termination."
Female empowerment in horror movies: she lives to the end, cause that way you get to see the hot chick in a tank top, like, the WHOLE TIME. Get it? We can always show ugly chicks getting killed in the first 30 minutes.
Thank you, After Dark. Please continue with your scheduled round of bullshit.
In defense of the America-bashing statement above, wasn't there a Japanese flick a few years back which featured a woman who chained up some dude and cut him to pieces, slowly?
