Finally, “Bitch Slap” has a release-date, the downside is, I won’t be here anymore or anywhere near the movie-theaters they’re playing it in. New York, Los Angeles and San Francisco are the lucky cities that show this film that has been on my dying-to-see-list since I first heard about it.
Let’s time-travel a little, because I think, the first time I heard about it was – I don’t know – two or three years ago. I was looking up Lucy and Renée on imdb.com and saw that they were both cast for the same movie… for some reason, that got me hooked (oh, by the way, if you don’t know who Lucy and Renée are: does the quote: “I’ve got many skills.” ring a bell with you? No? Then, what are you doing here?). So, I have been waiting a long time for that release-date (watching trailers, visiting the official web-site, watching the trailers again), but it seems that I have to wait even longer. Seems that the DVD is coming out in April… hm, I wonder if they will maybe show the movie in Berlin. *havingagoodideaformybirthdaywishtomorrow*
If you are able to watch it in those few theaters who will actually show it (in case I haven’t mentioned, release-date is January 8th, 2010), or on DVD or via telepathy (well, I don’t know you well enough to know that you cannot do that), in any given case, watch the red-band trailer here:

Oh, and you might wanna put a towel over your keyboard – audiences of the trailer have been reported to drool… just a precaution.
So, I guess I should go into the appeal of this movie. I guess, you would agree that the trailer looks a little Tarantino. Well, it should since “Bitch Slap” is ripping-off of 70s exploitation movies and we know how much Tarantino likes to do that. But maybe this is even better: think of “Xena: Warrior Princess” meeting 70s exploitation movies. The Producers of “Bitch Slap” are Eric Gruendemann and Rick Jacobson (who were both involved a lot in “Xena”), Lucy and Renée are in there, as well as Michael Hurst and Kevin Sorbo, and what was his name, the dude who played Joxer’s son, William Gregory Lee. Plus, Zoe Bell who was Lucy’s stuntdouble. Need I say more?
Exactly! What else: hot women, big guns, Lucy and Renée, things that blow-up, girls kissing (each other), Lucy and Renée, more hot chicks, men get beaten-up and have I mentioned – LUCY and RENÉE in ONE movie TOGETHER!!!
Am I obsessed? I have been since ca. 1997. But I tell you what: as soon as I have finally seen it I will write a feminist review on why women (straight women, because I would not keep lesbians and bisexual women from watching this for the world) should not watch it.
May God have mercy on your soul…
