Little Miss Sunshine, Contact, the High School Musical Trilogy, Natural Born Killers, The Hills Have Eyes, Breaking Bad, Roswell, and a couple early episodes of the late Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles. What do all these movies and TV shows have in common? They've all been set in New Mexico. The latest news in the world of cinema and New Mexico is that the action thriller "Cowboys and Aliens," with Daniel Craig and Harrison Ford will be shot in and around Albuquerque.
Production will start in the middle of June but they started auditions long before this, perhaps in February. I know this from an inside source (ooh, how exciting!) at school who claimed that she was going to be a walk-in or one-liner character in the movie, although that was all she was allowed to say because the production company wants to keep this thing under wraps until its 2011 release.
But...what the heck kind of a title is "Cowboys and Aliens?" I know that it's supposed to be a play on "Cowboys and Indians," instead ends up sounding like only slightly less godawful than "Monsters Vs. Aliens" (which was a halfway decent movie that unfortunately had both the least creative name in all of Christendom and sounds like it's going to be about the justice system. Also, I think there was only one alien in the movie if I remember correctly. Kind of like how "Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs" had a single meatball fall out of the sky, remaining on-screen for less than three seconds! I found those to be hilarious ironies, and plus, I've been under the spell of HD since it came out so CGI-made movies don't look terrible.
Why is this backwater abortion of a state so popular? Has no one actually been to Albuquerque? The place where real crimes go unsolved because the police department is wasting their time responding to simple noise complaints that end up violence due to their anti-white racism. These are the same guys who shoot fleeing suspects in the bank, threaten innocent people, and are always assholes without fail. These are the same guys who are using Twitter to capture car theives (they have caught some so far I'll admit), but listen to this:
"This year we wanted to take another approach and notify the public. If those followers see the tweet, then see the car, they can call it in to police." - APD Officer Nadine Hamby
Who would go out of their way to look for specific cars for the police while they're driving, thereby distracting themselves?
