Vegetarian Star

As previously mentioned, Brandon Routh is playing Todd Ingram, one of the evil ex boyfriends Scott Pilgrim fights in the movie Scott Pilgrim Vs. The World.

Ingram is a vegan, so it’s hard to imagine him as “evil.”

It was previously thought that Ingram had only vegan mind reading powers, but Routh is now explaining that he’s given telekinetic powers–and smacks Scott around with them.

Here’s Routh explaining a little more about his role:

“I play Todd Ingram in the film. The film stars Michael Cera as Scott Pilgrim, and he has to defeat seven evil exes of Mary Elizabeth Winstead’s character, in order to continue dating her. The seven exes basically challenge Michael, and I play one of them. I’m a vegan rock star with a blonde wig. Because I’m vegan, I have these special powers, the power of telekinesis. So, I end up having this huge bass battle with Michael Cera, as we’re playing dueling bass guitars, and I throw him around telekinetically threw walls and such. And my blonde wig becomes a faux-hawk whenever I use my powers, and then flattens back down when I’m not using them.”

Wouldn’t you love to use telekinetic powers to throw the person who put chicken broth in your restaurant made vegetable soup?

Avatar picked up a Golden Globe this past week, but it also won the favor of People For The Ethical Treatment of Animals.

PETA has awarded James Cameron a Proggy (short for progress) Award for the movie’s message about, “the importance of treating all living beings, no matter how ‘strange’ or ‘alien,’ with respect and dignity.”

“We hope viewers will come away from ‘Avatar’ with a new way of looking at the world around them and the way we treat our fellow earthlings,” PETA Senior Vice President Lisa Lange says in a statement. “For helping animals with the positive message of this film, James Cameron is PETA’s ‘King of the World.'”

A recent episode of Brothers & Sisters titled “Run Baby Run,” had Rachel Griffith‘s character, Sarah Walker, discussing with a coffee date how she talked her daughter into switching back from vegan to vegetarian.

“She declared herself a vegan,” Sarah said.

“I negotiated her back up to a vegetarian. It’s not that I don’t respect her moral choice, I just don’t know what to feed her.”

Hmm…Seems strange that an MBA holding woman, co-president of a food company and owner of Greenatopia, a website about eco-friendly living can’t figure out what to feed her vegan daughter.

Let’s not forget that brief stint she had as CFO at a green foods startup company.

It’s high time Sarah Walker put as much energy investing in vegan cookbooks as she does in the business world.

And can Ojai Foods get more ready made vegan products?

Scott Pilgrim

As reported earlier, the movie adaptation to the Scott Pilgrim comic book series, Scott Pilgrim vs. The World is set for release this year and Universal Pictures has released a few photos from the film.

In both the books and the film, Scott Pilgrim, played by Michael Cera falls in love with a girl only to discover he has to fight off all her seven ex boyfriends.

One of those exes, Todd Ingram, boasts graduating at the top of his class from the Vegan Academy while disparaging non-vegans, saying they use only 10% of their brains while the rest is filled with “curds and whey.”

However, it’s later learned that Todd may not use his brain as much as he claims, as his cheats with dairy.

Take a look at the photo of a real vegan, Jason Schwartzman, who plays Gideon Graves in the movie.

Scene from "Vegetarian" directed by Lim Woo-Seong

Lim Woo-seong‘s Vegetarian film will be screening during Sundance Film Festival in Park City, Utah the week of January 21-31.

As expected from the title, Vegetarian includes the theme of abstaining from meat.

After experiencing bad dreams, a woman played by Chae Min-seo stops eating meat and even rejects her husband for doing so.

She is the object of her brother-in-law’s fixation and he uses her body as a canvass in an attempt to live out his desires by painting.

“I worked on the story for four years, so I was able to understand each and every character very well,” Woo-seong said, during an interview. “Art is not something that can be explained in the category of logic or morality, so I understood the artist’s desire, but also empathized with his wife torn between anger toward her husband and sympathy for her younger sibling.”

Che the vegan dog will once again get to cheat on his diet by eating the stray neighborhood pets.

The Goode Family has returned to television, this time on Comedy Central instead of ABC.

What killed the recycling, veg eating, tree hugging, liberal family?

Big balls, according to Joe Hipps, vice president of TV production at Media Rights Capital.

“Its lead-in was ‘Wipeout,’ a game show with big red balls throwing people into the water,” Hipps said. “And then you’re going into a talky animated show? It never had a chance.”

Much like those poor alley cats never stood a chance when Che got a craving for something other than textured soy dog biscuits.

Wait. Stop joking about that. It’s only a little bit funny.

Now that The Goode Family is on the same cable television station home to the bad boys of  South Park, the family might have the opportunity to get a little dirtier–and that doesn’t mean tending to the organic vegetables in the backyard.

“Even though they were very professional about it, the censorship standards on ABC are very tight,” said John Altschuler, one of executive producers of the show, who said the team received a few dings, what some would call censorship. “You can do an awful lot about sex, but not about political thought. You can’t deal with race at all.”

Looking forward to seeing The Goode Family biking through town at 10PM Mondays on Comedy Central, opening their mouths and offending nearly everyone while reminding them to compost.

Grace film

Slate has compiled their list of 10 great movies you may be missed (or is it should have missed) in 2009.

Of course, every vegetarian mother or mother to be would love to have their own personal copy of Grace, about a vegan who insists on natural childbirth and has hopes of rearing little baby Grace on rice milk and tempeh.

Baby Grace, however, has different tastes than mom and only craves blood.

Sucks when the children stray from good values.

Mom’s blood is okay at first, but Grace’s appetite grows, leaving Madeline to seek other human blood donors who aren’t exactly giving voluntarily.

From Slate:

“Horror movies don’t get any more horrific than Grace, which finds one of our few remaining taboos (pregnancy), sticks it with a clawed finger and then wiggles it around. A nice vegan lady is having a baby and doing it the old fashioned way, complete with midwife and birthing pool. Then the fetus dies in an accident. Then she decides to carry its corpse to term. Then the baby is born and it’s moving and breathing. Then it’s somehow still dead? Zombies are the new cute, but Grace makes them upsetting again.”

Vegan and horror combined in an 85 minute film may or may not entice you, but at least you now have creepy suggestions to make to those annoying people who ask the question of whether breast feeding is really vegan because the milk comes from a mammal.

Discover the other films you missed in 2009 at slate.com.

Tom Cruise‘s latest movie Knight and Day came to a halt recently when half ton animals escaped from the set.

The seven bulls were present to recreate a scene for Pamplona’s running of the bulls.

The animals were on the loose for half and hour and injured two women during their joyride through Spain.

PETA took the opportunity to write to Cruise, urging him to influence producers of the show to reconsider using the animals and cutting the scene altogether.

“The Running of the Bulls is an inherently cruel event that causes severe stress and often injury to the animals involved. The bulls’ hooves slip on the pavement as they race frantically, trying to escape the chaos. Sometimes, in their confusion, they bash into doors or the sides of buildings, breaking horns or legs. Human runners and spectators gouge them with sticks or pull their tails. People, too, are injured, gored, or trampled by bulls who are desperate to escape. What awaits the animals that evening in the bullring is even more gut-wrenching. Bulls are repeatedly stabbed and bled to weaken them, and bullfighters sever the animals’ spines while they are fully conscious.”

With the technology we have in the 21st century, who needs live animal for a production anyway?
