Final Girl Five

What?! I can't believe my last two years worth of posts were somehow mysteriously deleted, never to be recovered by any means. GAH! All that hard work and dedication and man, they were sooo gooood. I'm sorry, everyone... Ah well, onward and upward.*

THE FINAL GIRL ELITE
Finally got around to Laurie and decided to grime the rest of 'em up some. Click on over to my DA gallery for the bigguns.


















*That's my story and I'm sticking to it.

Heroine > Villain

I don't root for the killer. When I was 6 years-old, I clutched my pillow tight hoping that pretty Ginny girl would kill that mean sack head guy. I clearly recall pumping my fist, yelling "YES!" when Laurie skewered Michael with a knitting needle (I was pretty paralyzed with fear that she might die when we got to the coat hanger). Years later as a (physical) grown-up, I was just as excited to watch Sidney lay the smack down on a myriad of Ghostfaces.

As far as I'm concerned, there is far too much hero worship going on for sadistic villains. I admire those who step up and end those reigns of terror (for however short-lived that may be) and wanted to honor them. I saw this awesome set of pop-artish vector posters done for superheroes somewhere (No, I can NOT vague it up anymore) and the idea for these ladies was immediate. I hope to do more and did start Laurie Strode last night but I'm kinda spent on them at the moment. The ebbs and flows are my routine with every artistic endeavor but Stretch's chainsaw really took it outta me!

For now, here are four of my most favoritest heroines of all the times!

Magniflorious: Origins

Seems like this is something I should've explained in the intro, but I didn't. So, I'm doing it now. It's for you, ya know. I know where the word comes from. I don't have to do this. I could leave you hanging, wondering at random intervals throughout the day soon consuming your every thought, waking you up at night (if you even get to sleep!) until the slow descent into madness causes your friends/family/society to shun you, and openly mock because you're going to look like a freeeeak, until you can take no more, and I dunno... die.

Okay then.

As splendiferous a word magniflorious is, its creation is not of my brain. No, it comes to us from the brilliant, twisted, and therefore naturally cancelled before its time, television show Better Off Ted. Magniflorious was among its bountiful quotables... Though one of the few I can call up 'cause I just don't have that kinda recall for film and T.V. dialogue. I quickly adopted it to describe everything good, e.g., This cereal is magniflorious, "You found a quarter? Magniflorious!" Fellow BOT fans always chuckle while those not in the know always ask "What? What does that mean? Spell it." In that order. Always.

Fortunately for those around me I've since refined my use. I now use it for everything really good. By all means, take it as your own. Spread it around. You'll feel, say it with me, magniflorious!
