Jonas was correct yesterday. The screen shot was from Battle Beyond the Stars. Today I continue with a Sci-Fi theme in honour of the SciFi Channel changing their name to SyFy which for some reason just makes me think of stir fry.
I’ll post the answer tomorrow along with the next quiz.
I have no idea what movie this is but it looks incredible!
And is that Enki Bilal art on her clothes?!
I didn’t realize there was anything honorable in the new SyFy name.
Everyone I know has been making fun of it since the announcement. We’ll see how it goes. I keep wanting to pronounce it “siffy,” which just makes me think of STDs.
I’m thinking Brazil… but maybe not.
Brazil was the first thing that popped in my head but no this is clearly much more recent and I’m pretty sure it’s not a US production.
I’m going to the guess that it is Immortel based solely on that comment about the Bilal art on the shirt.
You are all on the right track. I’ll post the answer tomorrow morning if no has it by then. I do own this one but I can’t remember if I actually enjoyed it or not. Oh and I deliberately picked this shot to see if someone would say Brazil.
I was thinking Brazil first too.. and then Immortel because of the art on the shirt. But I found it unlikely that he would have his art on a characters shirt in his movie. But I guess I might be wrong.
Oh, I know what it is, only I can’t remember the title.
It’s a French movie, based on an excellent comic. Artwork of the French comic artist can be seen on the shirt of the woman.
Damn my memory at the moment….
Oh, wait I found it. It’s the movie: Immortel (ad vitam) from 2004. The movie did fail a little bit, but the comics from the author Enki Bilal are amazing.
Didn’t know there was a comic but definitely interested in checking it out. Love the basic idea and the visuals of the film but agreed – it does falter. I can’t remember for sure but I don’t even think I made it through the entire film.
Oh there you go, it was Immortel. I guess Mr.Bilal was narcissistic enough to have one of his characters wear his art all over her clothes.
I haven’t watched the movie in years but I remember it being gorgeous and in parts pretty close to the comic.
Everyone should check out the comic though, it’s really strange with ancient Egyptian gods in a futuristic Paris. It’s beautifully drawn. The comic(s) the movie is based on is the Nikopol Trilogy.
I did a quick scan of the DVD when choosing the shot and I deliberately avoided the Egyptian Gods as they would have been too easy to pick out. While the movie is really nice to look at it does have a somewhat dated look now as CGI really has improved a fair amount. I can’t comment on the story though. I think I’ll have to throw it back in and check it out shortly.
Why did you say we were on the right track when I said it was Immortel?
I win! I win!
Suck it haters.
lol… blame my stupid reading skills. I do find it funny that it is always your comments that I mess up on. I seem to remember that you won the oscar pool last year until we realized that someone else had.
