#army of the dead: lost vegas trailer

[cann1bal-kitt3n-x]

Hey girl! Before I ask, I just wanted to say I love your blog-especially your taste in movies! I've watched so many good movies from you! I noticed you kind of gravitate more towards campy, trailer park-esque vibes, which is something I also adore. I was wondering if you could think of any movies that have that specific vibe, that also fit with coquette/faunlet vibes. Thanks! And once again, love your blog!

Hi! Thank you so much for sending me this ask and for supporting my blog, I really appreciate it ♡

I try to watch lots of films that relate to the coquette/faunlet lifestyle and I'm constantly discovering new movies (@coquette-club is currently posting about lots of great films to check out)!

I love campy, trailer park/motel/road trip type films because that sort of lifestyle has always been interesting to me and I have seen many great films over the years that feature these motifs so here's my little list for you ♡

American Honey (2016)

Star is a young girl living in poverty with her dysfunctional family until she meets a charming stranger in a supermarket. They go on a road trip selling magazines door-to-door and meet many interesting people along the way. It's a beautiful film about growing up, first love, identity and features mainly unknown actors and improvised lines to feel even more gritty and real. Sasha Lane is incredible in this film and I adore her ♡

Black Snake Moan (2006)

Christina Ricci plays a young woman who is lost in life and suffers from nymphomania and Samuel L Jackson's character Lazarus attempts to cure her by imprisoning her with a chain around her waist. It's a seriously weird film and you've probably seen the clips of Ricci dancing with the chain, but it's also pretty enjoyable and features some really awesome blues music, southern sleaze and skimpy coquette outfits ♡

Hick (2011)

This one is a classic in the coquette world, Luli has become an icon to us with her dreams of running away to find fun in Las Vegas after being abandoned by her family at 13 years old. She hitches a ride with a cowboy and sleeps in a trailer, does cocaine and robs a convenience store (and that's just the first act). It's a super grimy film and I enjoyed the visuals too ♡

Ripe (1996)

Two orphaned sisters flee a car wreck and hitch a ride to a dilapidated army camp, where they stay with the grumpy caretaker and cause chaos wherever they go. It's really hard to find but worth the watch if you can, the aesthetics are so sickly sweet and feel just like Video Games by Lana Del Rey mixed with the warmth of a summer day ♡

A few miscellaneous:

Where the Heart is (2000) // Bones and All (2022)

~ Natalie Portman's character lives in a trailer park and is abandoned pregnant by her boyfriend in a wallmart

~ Road trip love story, our main characters steal and squat in various trailers, farms and other lodgings

The Florida Project (2017) // Drop Dead Gorgeous (1999)

~ A single mother lives in a motel in Florida

~ Teen beauty pagent star lives with her mother in a trailer

I really hope this is helpful! There are probably others but this is all I can think of for now, and there are many more similar to this that I haven't yet seen! Thanks again for the ask ♡

I am constantly scared of horror movies to the point that I make an effort to not watch them but the passion you have for them makes me want to watch one and expand my horizons. Any horror recommendations for someone who gets spooked easily? I’m fine with gore btw it’s more like realistic anxiety situations scare me like stuff that has to do with being kidnapping/feeling trapped. Have a wonderful night <3

Aw this is so sweet, I'm glad you're wanting to expand your horizons and I'm honored to be your guide! I think you'd enjoy more comedy horror, cheesy horror and horror that is more monster based. I can recommend some horror you could handle but I'd definitely stay away from movies like Saw, Hostel, The Black Phone and others like those.

I'd also recommend watching the trailers for these recommendations just so you can get a taste of them before you dive right in. I hope you enjoy trying out some horror! 🖤

Little Shop of Horrors (1986) its a musical! Rick Moranis is amazing as a guy who gets an alien plant that has an unusual appetite

The Monster Squad (1987) some nerdy horror fans have to save their town from classic monsters that show up

Night of the Living Dead (1968) a zombie movie with minimal scares and an important marker in horror history!

They Live (1988) An alien movie with reflections on society

The Lost Boys (1987) California vampires. that's pretty much it

Rocky Horror Picture Show (1975) another musical! campy, fun and queer as hell. one of my favorite movies in the whole world.

Re-Animator (1985) a lil science dude gets his roommate to help him bring people back to life [there is a sexual assault scene towards the end just fyi]

Evil Dead 2 & Army of Darkness (1987 & 1992) Bruce Campbell as a dude who can't catch a break. possessions, time travel, chainsaws, and catchphrases you'll be saying forever

Ginger Snaps (2000) a girl werewolf movie!! sisterhood, puberty, and some awesome special effects

Trick 'r Treat (2007) follow the rules of halloween or a cute lil guy will come and kill you. love this one so so much! also fun intertwined stories

Killer Klowns from Outer Space (1988) one of my favorite movies! clowns, cotton candy, 2 dudes and 1 girl with a whole lot of chemistry flowing between then and a giant clown boss

Elvira: Mistress of the Dark (1988) Elvira's her usual beautiful campy self in a movie where she deals with a small town, an old wizard dude and a show in Vegas

Scream (1996) a slightly realistic slasher movie that pokes fun at horror movies and fans. a great cast and ofc the iconic costume

Beetlejuice [and honestly a lot of Tim Burton movies]

Any/All of the Universal Monster movies [Frankenstein, Dracula, The Invisible Man, The Creature from the Black Lagoon, The Wolf Man]

Jennifer's Body (2009) A girl gets possessed and hunts down boys while her best friend tries to stop her. queer undertones, awesome leads and iconic lines

Zombieland (2009) a fun silly zombie movie with an awesome cast

Willy's Wonderland (2021) starring Nicholas Cage as a stranger who comes to town and has to deal with some silly possessed animatronics [big five nights at Freddy's vibes]

Dave Made A Maze (2017) a guy who's lost in life builds an insane labyrinth in his living room and it comes to life. such a good movie mixing horror, comedy and life lessons

Feel free to message me/send an ask for more recommendations, your thoughts on ones you watch, or anything else!

Netflix’s Army Of The Dead Lost Vegas- All About The Anime Prequel

Netflix’s Army Of The Dead Lost Vegas- All About The Anime Prequel

While we as a whole sit tight for the Army Of The Dead film from Netflix, there’s no more substance to look towards after that. Be that as it may, it’s difficult a brand-name connection between the two activities, yet a genuine affiliation. An intriguing reality about the two tasks is while one is an element film, the other is series inactivity. That does sort of place everything on Netflix in a…

Zack Snyder’s Army of the Dead Universe Is Here to Stay

https://ift.tt/eA8V8J

Despite his exit from Warner Bros’ big-screen DC movie universe, director Zack Snyder isn’t done with shared universes just yet. And while his tenure as the creative lead of the DCEU, which culminated with this year’s Snyder Cut of Justice League, may have been polarizing to say the least, the Army of the Dead director may actually be just what Netflix needed.

After years of chasing ways to build its own coveted blockbuster shared universe, such as with its failed attempt to launch a superhero universe based on Mark Millar’s Jupiter’s Legacy, the streaming service finally seems to have the foundation it was looking for with Snyder’s return to the genre that turned him into an A-lister back in 2004. In fact, Army of the Dead was originally conceived as a sequel to Snyder’s Dawn of the Dead remake, but almost two decades later, it’s grown much bigger than that.

Even before Army of the Dead introduced us to Snyder’s vision of a zombified Vegas strip in May, Netflix already had plans to expand this world beyond just one action movie. The streamer greenlit a prequel heist movie starring Matthias Schweighöfer’s goofy safecracker Ludwig Dieter, as well as an anime prequel series, soon after striking the partnership with Snyder. As the centerpiece of this fledgling zombie universe, Army of the Dead set up many opportunities for future sequels and spinoffs, too. There could be aliens, robot zombies, or even trippy time loops in future Army installments, and Mexico City is almost certainly doomed in the recently announced sequel. And judging from the audience response to the first movie, most viewers are willing to go along for the ride.

Some might say Netflix has nailed the shared universe formula with the most unlikely source at the helm. Despite the fervor with which his most passionate fans defend his work, Snyder’s contributions to the DCEU are still heavily debated years later. There are those fans who love his grittier, darker take on the DC pantheon, while others believe universe kickstarters Man of Steel and Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice tanked DC’s chances to compete with Marvel Studios from the beginning.

But regardless of what you think of the quality of his work (we gave Army of the Dead three out of five stars), it’s clear that Snyder’s name attracts viewers — even if some only tune in to see how the over-the-top director has outdone himself this time. The movie got 75 million views in its first month, making it the 9th most watched English language film of all time on Netflix, and securing the immediate future of the franchise. Army of the Dead 2, which will once again be directed and co-written by Snyder, is now in development, but it won’t shoot until after the director has completed work on his space-set sci-fi film Rebel Moon, also coming to Netflix.

In the meantime, there are other corners of the Army of the Dead universe to explore, including the backstory of Dieter, who met an ambiguous end in Snyder’s movie at the hands of alpha zombie leader Zeus (it actually isn’t all that clear whether he’s actually really dead, but it’s likely). Schweighöfer directed Army of Thieves himself from a script by Shay Hatten, who also co-wrote Army of the Dead. The film also stars Nathalie Emmanuel, Guz Khan, Ruby O. Fee, Stuart Martin, Jonathan Cohen, Noemie Nakai, and Peter Simonischek as the titular thieves who attempt to pull off a heist six years before the events of Snyder’s movie, just at the start of the zombie outbreak in Vegas.

During the Army of Thieves panel at SDCC@Home, Netflix revealed the first trailer, which promises even more Dieter shenanigans and funny quips:

cnx.cmd.push(function() { cnx({ playerId: "106e33c0-3911-473c-b599-b1426db57530", }).render("0270c398a82f44f49c23c16122516796"); });

Army of the Dead isn’t wasting any time when it comes to TV animation, either. An anime series called Lost Vegas “chronicles the origin story of Scott (Dave Bautista) and his rescue crew during the initial fall of Vegas as they confront the mysterious source of the zombie outbreak,” per Netflix. Jay Oliva (Trese) will serve as showrunner, with Snyder directing two episodes of the series.

By the sound of it, Lost Vegas should shed more light on Zeus’ original rampage through the strip as well as Scott’s adventures with Vanderohe (Omari Hardwick) and “Soccer Mom” (Danielle Burgio) in the opening credits sequence of the movie. Will this installment finally confirm that the zombie virus really is alien?

Like the MCU with Thanos or the DCEU Snyderverse with Darkseid, the Army of the Dead universe could use its next few installments to slowly draw out its true big bad. There are several scenes in the movie that tease that the zombies are only the surface level threat, with alien invaders or Hiroyuki Sanada’s Bly Tanaka (whom some suspect to be a Devil-like figure who’s trapped Scott and his team in an endless time loop) pulling all the strings. There’s also the U.S. Defense Department trying to build its own zombie army.

And unlike with the DCEU, it seems that Snyder will actually get to see all of these plot threads through.

Army of Thieves is out later this year. Lost Vegas hits Netflix in 2022.

Bones (A Marvel AU)

Characters: Steve Rogers, Female Reader, Wanda Maximoff, Natasha Romanoff, Peter Parker, Tony Stark & Loki Laufayson 

Warnings: Language

Pairings: None. (Eventual Steve Rogers x Female Reader)

Summary: You are a forensic anthropologist working for the Smithsonian Institute in Washington D.C. when you and your team get recruited by the FBI to aid one of their top field agents, Special Agent Steve Rogers. Together, along with your colleagues/friends you put faces on the voiceless and throw the bad guys where they belong.

Author’s Note: So this is my first Marvel AU series and I’m quite nervous on how this is going to turn out. The series is going to be based on the TV show Bones and since the show is 12 seasons long I’m just going to base the series on some of my favorite episodes including the series finale coming out in the upcoming weeks. I only hope I do it justice. I want to thank @mrs-squirrel-chester for convincing me into writing this and for not only being as awesome beta but because she also made this kick-ass edit above. 

Catch up here!

Chapter Two (Part Two): The Woman in the Sand

Steve and you drove down the long stretch of asphalt for a half hour, nothing but cacti and sand whipping past you. You thought back to that Skype call from earlier and that exchange between him and Natasha.

 “So…” you began to say, grabbing your partner’s attention, giving you a quizzical expression. “Are you and Nat a thing?”

 Confused, he turned to you. “What?”

 “What?” you mocked. “You know what I’m talking about Steven,” you snickered after using his first name.

 He rolled his eyes at you in annoyance. “Don’t call me Steven.”

 “Then don’t call me Bones, you shot back with a snarl.

 “Anyways, there’s nothing going on between Nat and I,” he assured.

 You laughed in his face. “Yeah, right and I’m Ghandi.”

 “You know for a squint, you’re not that smart,” Steve muttered.

 “Heads up, Rogers. Victim’s house is up on the right.” You pointed at the trailer park that was on your side, completely changing the subject.

 “And here I thought she left me,” The victim’s husband, Donald reacted solemnly after Steve told him that his wife’s body was found.

 “Now why would she do that, Don?” Steve asked, taking a seat next to you.

 “I - I got laid off a couple of months ago.” Donald ran his fingers through his hair, a nervous tick you happened to assess. “Poor Billie. She hated seeing me sitting around the house all day, depressed.”

 “Drinking?” You rose an eyebrow at the husband.

 “Punching walls?” Steve added, to the skepticism you both had.

 Donald’s eyes quickly averted to his hand, then back at you. “No. I..I just fell of a ladder,” Donald sputtered.

 “Breaking a fall like that would fracture distal radius, not proximal phalanges,” you noted aloud, quickly calling out his lie.

 “My what?” he asked in confusion.

 “She means that the fall would break your wrist,” Steve clarified.  “Not your thumb.”

 “Anyways, listen. I got my hands on a police record that says your neighbors heard you screaming at your wife three weeks ago,” Steve mused, pulling the report from his back pocket.

 “No. Just arguing. See Billie wanted to help out, she thought she could bring in some money, you know, the exotic kind. I kind of flipped out,” Donald tried to explain to you both.

 “And then you broke your thumb against your wife's face?” you ground out through your teeth.

 “No!” Donald got up from where he was sitting.  “Look, I could never hurt Billie. Okay?” He gave you both a look, pleading for you to believe him.

 “Then how did she lose her hearing?” You still questioned him, damn sure that he was the reason behind her injury.

 “I don't know.” He shrugged his shoulders.  “She was a kid playing sports. One to many soccer balls against the head?”

 “Oh, please,” you replied, unable to keep from rolling your eyes.

 Steve got up as well and pulled out a pair of handcuffs from the waistband of his jeans. “Listen Don, you're my number one suspect so it would be wise if you're straight with us,” he warned

 “Implants,” Donald shouted, putting his hands out in front of him.

 Both you and Steve looked at each other, then back at Donald before Steve spoke up, “Implants?”

  After talking to the victim’s husband, you and Steve found out that Donald had taken a loan of 8 thousand dollars from a loan shark to pay for his wife’s breast implants. Needless to say, Don didn’t have the money by the time the loan shark came to collect; it earned Donald a broken thumb.

 “Laufeyson,” Steve spoke into the phone as you drove. “Yeah, that's right. Loki Laufeyson. Send his information to my cell as soon as you can,” Steve ordered before hanging up.

 “We got the shark in our system,” Steve said turning towards you.

 “Well, proving at least that he exists,” you replied absentmindedly, still looking at the road in front of you.

 “Ya know, Don's story might seem a little off, but just try to keep an open mind,” Steve said cautiously.

 You snorted loudly. “An open mind to what? All those soccer balls to the head?”

 “I'm just not sold on the whole domestic abuse thing, alright. A scrawny guy like that-” Steve tried to say before you interrupted him.

 “Rage has nothing to do with size.”

 Steve sighed. “I know that Bones, It's just…” He took a moment to think about what he was going to say.  “I look into the guy’s eyes and I just didn't see it.”

 “Okay, but what about the implants Donald mentioned?” you asked, foot gently pressing  down on the gas pedal as the traffic light turned green. “if she'd gotten them they would have been a part of her remains.”

 “True,” Steve replied. “But, what if she used the money for something else?” He let out a chuckle as he pulled his phone back out, and handed his phone to you with a picture of a man about your age with long raven colored hair and pale skin. “And hopefully that guy will be able to tell us what it was.”

  Entering the Tangiers Casino, you were blown away by the amount of people gambling their money away.

 You heard Steve take in a deep breath. “Ahhh, I love the sound of winning.” You looked up at your partner and gave him a quizzical expression.

 He let out a laugh and shook his head. “Sorry, it just reminds me of my first time in Vegas,” he explained. “Fresh out of the army, I walked into the Desert Inn with 35 bucks in my pocket. Walked out with a cool 10 grand,” he recalled, dropping his smile a moment later. “The next night, I lost everything. Tapped out my ATM trying to get it back.”

 You looked towards the end of the casino and found the man you were looking for. At the end of the bar, there sat the man with pale skin and long, flowing, raven colored hair, sipping from his glass of scotch while eyeing everyone there like a predator stalking his potential prey.

 “Hey. There's our loan shark, let's go!” You almost shouted, taking a hold of Steve’s wrist, but he wouldn’t budge.

 “Okay, you stay here. I know how to talk to these guys,” Steve replied, pulling you behind him and giving you a do what I say look.

 Not wanting to argue, you conceded. “Fine. What do I do then?” you asked.

 “Well you’re a forensic anthropologist, doll. Observe the culture.” He shot you a wink and left you alone.

 Steve grabbed a beer bottle from a platter one of the waitresses was holding and chugged it, then ruffled his hair to make it look messy.

 “Loki Laufeyson,” Steve said, sitting down in the barstool next to the loan shark. “Don't I owe you money?”

Irritated at the new arrival, Loki turned in his stool to face the man. “I’m afraid you have me confused with someone else,” he said, British accent thick on his tongue.

 “I don't think I do.” Steve chuckled. “You see my buddy, Don Morgan, he introduced us. 30. Scrawny guy. Broken thumb.”

 “Do I need to call security?” Asked Loki through gritted teeth.

 “You know what, pal?” Steve asked, smirking slyly as he yanked his badge out and slapped it onto the bar. “That’s a great idea. And hey, while you’re at it, maybe you can tell me what you did to Don and just maybe how his wife ended up dead.”

 Defeated, he spoke, “Look, The guy owed me money. He neglected to pay and he fell of a ladder.” He looked down at his glass, watching as the ice spun in the amber liquid. “Instant karma.”

 “Instant karma. That's going to get you every time, isn't it?” Steve mused.  “What about his wife, Billie Morgan?” Steve asked, pulling a photo of the victim out of his coat pocket and placed it on the table. “She have instant karma too?”

 Loki glanced at the photo quickly. “I didn't even know he was married.”

 “How about the name Mason Roberts?” Steve asked, frustration eating at him. “I'm sure that rings a bell.”

 He snorted. “Whispers on the strip is that you finally found him.” Loki downed the rest of his drink. “Congratulations, now leave me alone.”

 “If you know more than what you're saying, I'm gonna find out eventually,” Steve warned.

 The loan shark laughed in your partner’s face. “Do I look worried?” The look on Steve’s face, made Loki stop short. “I'm a businessman. What are you harassing me for?”

 “Ah, ya know. I don’t like bullies,”Steve said simply as he swiped Loki’s third drink. “Thanks for the drink, pal.”

 He turned on his heel and left, walking through the vast amount of people playing coin slot machines until he spotted you on the main floor, smiling from ear to ear, playing blackjack. He chuckled to himself while watching you win hand after hand.

 “Nineteen's a winner,” announced the blackjack dealer as he handed you what amounted to be three thousand dollars in chips.

 “Yes!” you celebrated to yourself gathering the chips for yourself. “Come. To. Mama.”

 Steve looked past the dealer and noticed two tall and burly pit bosses flanking over to you.

They think she’s counting cards, he thought to himself.

 “Hey Bones!” Steve shouted, making his way over to you.

 “Oh, hey Rogers,” you answered, taking a sip of your champagne. That’s when you noticed two big and burly men coming toward you.

 You spun around in your stool to face them. “Fellas,” you greeted simply.

 One of them grabbed you by the elbow. “Ma’am, I’m going to need you t-”

 He was quickly cut off by your partner. Steve took hold of your other elbow and swiftly pulled you away from the pit bosses. “We were just about to leave.”

 “Come on,” he whispered in your ear, dragging you out of the casino.

  Back in D.C, Nat stood over the platform examining the body of Billie Morgan when suddenly Tony barged in holding a tray. “Aegialia concinna!”

 “Excuse me?” Nat asked looking up from her microscope.

 “They’re Scarab Beetles,” Tony corrected himself and placed the beetle under the microscope that connected to the monitor. “They came from the soil around Billie Morgan. These adults feed on putrefied organic matter. Or in this case, Billie. As a result they suffered unusually short life spasms,” he went on to explain.

 “From ingesting Billie's flesh?” Natasha asked, looking at the monitor.

 “More likely the powerful glucocorticoid in her system,” he answered. “However, I've yet to isolate which one specifically.”

 “Be sure to notify Doctor Y/L/N when you do,” Nat ordered. She then turned to Peter as he walked up the steps and onto the platform.

 “Mr. Parker, any specifics on the bat used to kill Roberts yet?” she gruffly asked.

 “Here's a replica,” Peter said, handing a bat to Natasha. “Louisville Slugger with a 3 inch diameter weighing about 27 ounces.”

 “You think the mob would come up with less clichéd ways to whack people,” Tony mused aloud, taking a few steps away from his boss.

 “Hang on, there’s something else,” Peter muttered as he grabbed the camera and placed it at the beginning of the spine. “Staining on Roberts’ cranium indicates seepage to the cervical spine.” He pointed the monitor. “So somehow blood from his head, got down to his neck.”

 “Vertebra C7,” Natasha said as she looked at the monitor. “Are those cut marks?” She asked, squinting her eyes when she noticed some nicks on the bone.

 “His throat got cut?” asked Peter.

 “Looks like it,” Tony replied after taking a look for himself. He turned to Natasha and asked,“Did you find a specific cause of death on Billie Morgan yet?”

 She grabbed the tablet and tapped on the screen, making the monitor switch from camera to a picture of the victim’s x-rays. “She displays a hemothorax in her left lung,” Natasha answered his question, pointing at the hole in the victim’s lung. “Between pre-existing injuries and the new ones, poor girl never had a chance.”

  Sitting out on the balcony with Steve, you listened to Peter and the rest of your colleagues as they talked about the findings on Roberts and Morgan.

 “Take a closer look at the stress markers to her sternum, Pete. They strike you as unusual?” you asked, taking a sip of your beer bottle.

 “Well, they do seem more the result over repetitive medium impact manual blows than the single high impact from a bat,” Peter answered confidently.

 “This husband could really dish it out.” You heard Tony say in the background.

 “Maybe she dished it back,” Peter mused. “There are hairline fractures on her knuckles”

 Your eyes widened in realization. “Defensive wounds.” You clicked on the home button on your phone, then tapped on the photo app, revealing a picture of Billie Morgan’s x-ray Peter sent you. “Wait a minute,” you said aloud, grabbing Steve’s attention. “Repetitive manual blows.”

 “Fractured knuckles,” Steve said, taking a seat next to you.

 “The glucocorticoid that killed your bugs, Stark. Could it have been simple cortisone to treat an injury?” You jumped in.

 “Yeah. That's certainly possible,” Tony answered.

 “What are you thinking Dr. Y/L/N?” You heard Natasha say on the other end of the call.

 You sat on the lounge chair for a moment, relishing in the cool November breeze. “Billie Morgan could have been a boxer.”

 “But wouldn't boxing gloves prevent injuries like these?” Rogers asked, pointing at the x-ray.

 “Unless she wasn't wearing gloves,” Tony mentioned.

 “What kind of boxer does that?” You heard Wanda join in on the call.

 “Ultimate fighters,” Both you and Tony said in unison.

 “Ultimate fighters. Ah, you're into that crap too?” Steve smirked in amusement as your cheeks flushed crimson.

 “Dude, it's barbaric, When it shows up on cable I can't turn it off.” You could hear the excitement in Tony’s voice.

 “And it's actually legal?” Natasha asked with skepticism in her tone of voice.

 “Completely sanctioned, Peter assured her. “They do wear some protective gear, which would fly in the face of our girl's injuries, though.”

 “That is, unless it was underground,” you breathed.

 “Underground where?” Asked Steve in bewilderment.

 “Come on. Haven't you’ve never seen Fight Club?” you answered his question with a question of you own.

 He raised his eyebrows and shook his head no.

 “Illegal, no hold barred, slugfest. Modern day Panem et Circenses,” you mused in excitement.  “But generally there's no free bread.”

 You thanked your team for the new information and hung up, turning to Steve who had a smug look on his face.

 “Why are you smiling?” You asked.

 “Don Morgan didn't beat his wife,” he answered with triumph in his voice.

 “Oh my god.” You let out a sigh. “Don’t start.”

 “Got to say doll, I told you so.”

 “Whatever,” you snarked, rolling your eyes at him. “Come on.” You got up from your seat and took Steve by the hand.

 “Whoa where are we going?” He asked, stopping you from pulling him.

 “God you’re clueless aren’t you?” you giggled at him. He made a face and you rolled your eyes at him. “Get your mind out of the gutter Rogers. We’re gonna go see Fight Club. That’s all.”

  The next day you and Steve headed back to the victim’s home to question the victim’s husband only to find out that Billie Morgan was boxing illegally behind his back. Now you were sitting across your partner at the food court in the hotel you were both staying at, picking at your food.

 “You okay Bones?” He asked, watching you intently.

 “Yeah. Just thinking, you answered softly, your eyes drawn to the street.

 “What’s on your mind doll?” he asked, taking a sip of his beer.

 “Why would anyone fight illegally in the first place?” You ran your hand through your long Y/H/C hair.

 “There's limited options. Not everybody can be Floyd Mayweather or Ronda Rousey,” Steve replied, successfully stealing a fry off your plate.

 Suddenly you heard your phone vibrating against the table. Quickly, you tapped on the green button, then tapped on the speaker. “What’s up Stank?” you greeted to Tony to which Steve snorted.

 “Fedex guy says my name wrong one time, and you and Wanda will never let me live it down.” You could practically hear the annoyance in his voice.

 “Anyways, have you found anything yet?” you asked, staring down at Steve as he went to steal another french fry from your plate.

 “Right, I found something in the particulates from Billie's shoes,” he answered. “Traces of hexavalent chromium. It's a chemical used in high end automotive shops, specializing in chroming. Mechanics who use them have to file reports for the EPA.”

 You slapped Rogers’ hand. “Ow! What?” He asked, grabbing his hand.

 “Am I interrupting something?” Tony asked.

 “I'm sorry, and Stark, you lost me at hexavalent chromium,” Steve called out.

 “Tony can you contact the Environmental Protection Agency?” You asked.

 “I’m on it, replied Tony before hanging up.

  Later that night, Steve and you drove down the long stretch of highway until you were about a half hour away from Las Vegas to an abandoned auto body shop.

 “This was an auto shop?” You asked with disgust laced in your voice.

 You got out of the SUV and jogged behind your partner who crouched down and pulled up the security gate.

 “EPA, they shut it down months ago for a hazardous waste material. It was the only shop authorized to use that chromium stuff,” Steve said as he handed you a flashlight. “See it anywhere?”

 Walking further inside the shop, you shined the flashlight as you looked around for the chemical, but you came up empty-handed. “Could be absorbed into the dust particles on the floor,” you said in conclusion.

 Before Steve could come up with a sarcastic remark, you cut him off, “Shut up. I found something.”

 You shined your flashlight on the concrete where there was a thick red line. “They painted a ring for the fights,” Steve said to you in surprise.

 Thinking quickly, you grabbed your ultraviolet flashlight from your bag and turned it on. “Holy shit,” you gasped at the scene in front of you.

 “Blood.” Steve looked around the concrete floor covered with blood spatter. “The whole place is covered in blood.”

  Looking at all the blood samples found at the automotive shop, Natasha decided to take a small break and rest her eyes for a bit.

 “Nat? You alright?” She heard Tony ask.

 She yawned and got up from her desk, stretching her limbs in the process. “I’m fine, just a little tired.”

 “Would that have to do with a certain FBI agent?” He teased.

 She rolled her eyes at him. “Rogers and I are just friends.”

 Tony chuckled sarcastically. “That’s not what I heard.”

 “Anyways,” Natasha cut him off changing the course of the conversation back to the investigation. “Of the thirty blood samples found at the bodyshops , 6 were A positive; same as Billie Morgan. I’m still waiting on DNA.”

 Suddenly Peter joined them both on the platform. “Thirty fighters translates to five two person fights per hour over a three hour period or three fights over five hours, six fights over-”

 “We get the idea, Parker. Lots of fights.” Nat interrupted him.

 “I ran thermal imaging on Billie's remaining soft tissue to reconstruct her injuries,” Wanda mused, joining them on the platform. She turned on the monitor and tapped something on her tablet. “This is what she might have looked like after the fight.” She put the picture up on the monitor of a battered and bruised Billie Morgan.

 “Just when I get to a place where I can almost stomach seeing maggots eating intestines,” Wanda added in disgust. “How could anybody do this to themselves?”

 “Ya know. 900 B.C.- the Greek ruler, Theseus, entertained himself watching two men sit in chairs beat each other to death,” Tony revealed, earning a glare from the rest of the group. “Just saying. It's nothing new.”

 “I can work up force and velocity reading for each blow,” Wanda said before turning towards Peter.  “Pete, can help me ID her opponent from the circumference and diameter of the fist.”

 “I'd rather Peter focus on our second weapon for Roberts,” Natasha replied gruffly.

 Peter had the group follow him into the office he shared with Tony. “None of these blades are narrow enough.” He walked over to a tray filled with different sets of knives. “It's as if his vertebra was cut with some sort of razor blade.”

 Tony stared at the tray for a moment while the others spoke, What can cause that kind of damage to the victim’s vertebrae? Suddenly it hit him.

 “A razor wire,” He said, grabbing everyone’s attention. “Luca Brasi. The Godfather? Please, someone buy a DVD player,” He added, beginning to get agitated.

 “Oh,” replied Natasha as realization struck her. “You mean a garrotte?”

 “Yes!” He pointed at her in excitement. “Yes. A garrotte pulled so tightly around Luca's- or rather Robert's neck-”

  “-that it sliced through his throat and severed his carotid artery,” Natasha jumped in.

 Wanda grabbed her phone and headed out of the Peter and Tony’s office before turning back at the others. “I’ll tell Rogers.”

  You decided on taking a small break from the investigation to relax and enjoy the scenery of Las Vegas. Steve mentioned that he had a contact back at the Tangiers Casino, so the pair of you decided to meet back in the hotel room within the hour.

 “Welcome to the Cosmopolitan.” You heard a bubbly voice say, grabbing your attention. “Would you like anything to drink?”

 You lifted your sunglasses and found a tall woman with blonde hair wearing a purple bikini, holding a tray in her hands. You closed the book you were reading and propped yourself up on your elbows. “What do you recommend?” you asked.

 “We have our signature cosmopolitan,” she responded with a wide smile. “They are so good.”

 “Then I’ll have a cosmopolitan.” You gave her a smile just as infectious as hers.

 “Coming right up!” She wrote the order down on her notepad before finally leaving.

 You laid back down on your lounge chair and continued reading Fifty Shades of Grey, something that Wanda had been begging you to read since the book was released, but you refused. That is until now. “What the hell did Wanda get me into?” you muttered to yourself as you continued reading the book.

 It felt a little strange being in the setting you were in now, sitting poolside in a black bikini drinking cosmos and listening to music the hotel’s resident DJ was playing.

 Suddenly you felt your phone vibrate on the table next to you. You pressed the green button on the screen to answer. “Y/L/N”

 “Bones!” Steve greeted you with that awful nickname that you hated. “I think I got a lead on where Billie would’ve gone for the fight club. I need you to meet me back at the hotel and wear something nice.”

 “What? Why?” You asked, confusion etched on your face.

 “Just do it, alright?” Steve said before hanging up on you.

 You quickly got up from your chair and grabbed your things while muttering how much of a dick your partner was.

“So what’s so important that you couldn’t tell me over the …” You trailed off as you stood in the hotel room you both shared, mouth agape at the sight of Steve shirtless. Jesus you thought to yourself as you stared at the tattoos that covered his toned chest and abs.

“Hey,” Steve replied, knitting his eyebrows in concern. “You okay Bones?”

 “Uhm yeah.” You shook your head, trying to push the inappropriate thoughts from your mind. “So you found something on the fight club?”

 “Buddy of mine says that there’s an underground fight club. Bare knuckles, no rules,” Steve answered, turning his back to you and grabbing a navy blue tank top, slipping it on.

 “Great!” you replied simply as if you weren’t checking your partner out. “Where at?” You asked walking over to your bed and pulling your suitcase from underneath.You pulled out a simple black dress and walked into the bathroom closing it behind you.

 “It moves around. Former champion Cornell “Cottonmouth” Stokes sells 800 numbers,” Steve said as he looked at himself in the mirror and brushed his sandy blonde hair back. “You call, you find out the time, the place, code to get in.”

 “Okay? So where can we find him?” you asked, slipping on the short sleeved mesh covered dress.

 “He owns a gym here on, uh, on Federal,” Steve answered simply. “Ya know, maybe I should talk to Cornell alone.”

 “What is it with you and leaving me behind?” You were starting to get pissed at your partner.

 “Listen Bones, the rules? They don't apply here. Okay? The deeper we get I don't want anyone knowing that we're FBI,” he told you, his tone authoritative and firm.

 You snorted, “Well, that's easy for me. I'm not.”

 He heard the bathroom door open, and spun on his heel to face you. “Hey, what do you think?” you asked with what he could’ve sworn was a hint of nervousness in your voice.

 He took a moment to get a good look at the short sleeve, mesh covered dress before cracking a joke at your expense. “I have enough Bibles, thank you, but try next door.”

 “Oh come on Rogers!” You complained. “It’s not like I have anything else to wear.”

 “See Bones, now that’s where you’re wrong,” he replied with a knowing smirk.

 He walked around the other side of the bed, picking up a white shopping bag and placing it on the mattress. “So I got a phone call from Wanda earlier and she knew you were going to bring that hideous dres-”

 “Hey!” You cut him off, offended while he put his hands up in defense.

 “Her words. Not mine. Anyway,” he rummaged through the bag and pulled out  a short, black cocktail dress along with a pair of shoes to match. “She asked me for a favor and well, here we are,” he said, handing you the dress and shoes.

 “Do I have to wear this?” You were going to kill Wanda when you got back to D.C.  

 “Just humor me Y/N.”

 You let out a deep sigh, “Fine.” You grabbed the dress and heels from his hands and stomped away to the bathroom.

 “So?” Steve heard you ask after a long pause. “What’s our cover?”

 “We're newlyweds,” Steve announced, grabbing his olive green jacket and throwing it on. “Takin' Sin City by storm. Ready for action.”

 “Really?” You replied with skepticism.

 Steve rolled his eyes at the tone of voice you were using on him. “Listen Bones, I know what I'm doing. Okay? I've done this before,” he assured you.

 “Alright fine,” you replied, swinging the bathroom door open and stepping out to face him. “But we’re engaged.”  

 “Yeah yeah sure….” He looked up from a message Natasha sent him and was absolutely floored by how beautiful you looked in the black wrap dress and heels.

 Your hair was down and in waves, and your makeup simple yet Steve was shocked by how amazing you looked. “Rogers?” you asked in concern. ”You okay?”

 He shook his head, shaking the inappropriate thoughts from his mind. “Yeah, let’s go.”

Link Tank: Army of the Dead Scrapped Plans for a Whole Zombified Zoo

https://ift.tt/eA8V8J

Zack Snyder’s upcoming Army of the Dead features a zombified tiger, but the film almost had a whole zombified zoo.

“Along with thinking, organized zombies, Zack Snyder’s living mercenaries in the upcoming Army of the Dead will have to deal with at least one undead white tiger as they venture into the overrun ruins of Las Vegas in search of $200 million dollars stashed in an abandoned casino. The idea of an army of zombies having an inexhaustible tiger among their ranks is alarming enough, but according to director Snyder, at one point he decided to go a bit bigger.”

Zack Snyder regresa con “Army of the Dead”, una película de zombies y robos de banco

Después de haber estrenado con éxito “La Liga de la Justicia” en HBO, Zack Snyder retorna al cine de zombies con “Ejército de los muertos” que se estrenará el próximo 21 de mayo en Neflix y ciertos cines, la película va a estar ambientada en una postapocalíptica urbe de las Vegas, donde los protagonistas se van a ver envueltos en una misión para recobrar una copiosa cantidad de dinero antes que el gobierno lance una bomba atómica sobre esa urbe plagada de zombies. Dave Bautista es quien está al frente del elenco interpretando a Scott Ward, un héroe de guerra que ahora trabaja en un restorán de hamburguesas y que es contratado por un magnate de casinos, es precisamente por esto que Scott reúne a un equipo de especialistas para hacer la misión, entre ellos vamos a poder ver a María Cruz, una vieja amiga y experimentada mecánica interpretada por Ana de la Reguera, aparte de otros personajes cuyas habilidades vamos a poder ver en su esplendor a lo largo del trascurso del filme, por determinado, te dejamos con el trailer solamente a fin de que veas de lo que te hablamos. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t5DCpieZ4Gk&feature=emb_title La verdad se ve bastante bien, no podemos esperar a verla, en verdad el propio Snyder aseveró que es una película rompegéneros y autoconsciente con lo que tiene un buen sentido del humor, recordemos que el directivo comenzó hace 17 años con el remake de “El amanecer de los muertos” y desde ese momento ha estado ofuscado con este género de cintas. Algo que resaltar es que para recrear la ciudad en ruinas de Las Vegas, las escenas fueron rodadas en los casinos abandonados de Atlantic City, aparte de que la inspiración del directivo son películas simbólicas de la ciencia ficción como “Aliens” y “Scape from New York“.

“Me obsesionó la idea de las reglas admitidas en el planeta de los zombies y cree un escenario en el que poder jugar con estas reglas y tópicos”. – Snyder Dave Bautista afirma que tenía tiempo deseando trabajar con Snyder, en verdad desde el momento en que vio la película “300“, con lo que contactó con el directivo, pero al comienzo no estaba interesado en grabar una película de zombies. Lo que lo hizo cambiar de parecer es la mezcla de géneros y el personaje que le sería asignado, si bien asimismo asegura que todas y cada una de las personas implicadas en el proyecto son fabulosas, que en verdad son como una familia.

¿Te quedaste pensando en el tigre zombie que podemos ver en el trailer? Claro, es poquísimo común ver animales zombies en producciones de esta temática, pero Sanyder descubrió que hay más animales zombies y que únicamente hay una especie que no puede ser infectada por el virus. Además de esto afirma que los zombies humanos han evolucionado tanto como el género lo ha hecho. “Los únicos inmunes son los pájaros por el hecho de que tienen su… propio pasado. Si los pájaros pudieran contagiarse tendríamos problemas”. – Snyder Pero esto no será todo, la plataforma de streaming Netflix ya tiene considerablemente más planes para el cosmos de “Ejército de los muertos“, estos incluyen una precuela dirigida por Matthias Schweighöfer, cuya historia está centrada en el personaje que interpreta en esta película, Dieter Lwiding, por determinado su rodaje acabó en el mes de diciembre.

Otro título que se aúna a este cosmos es una serie estilo anime de nombre “Army of the Dead: Lost Vegas” que tiene sitio al comienzo de la pandemia y contará exactamente cómo estos zombies llegaron a desarrollar toda esa agilidad y capacidad de organización.

Esto indudablemente es excelente, Snyder nos alienta a no perder la pista de las aventuras que van a tener sitio en este cosmos que según parece nos sostendrá al filo del asiento y nos va a contar todo lo que hay mas allá de “Ejército de los muertos“. Read the full article
