We can’t say the WHITEOUT trailer gave rise to a mad need to see the movie. Kate Beckinsale as the lead stirred some interest(yeah, that’s what we’re calling it) but not $10 worth of interest. Learning that it is based off the Oni Press limited series of the same name and created by writer Greg Rucka and artist Steve Lieber did raise an eyebrow. So we acquired the series and set out to have it finished by the movie’s air date. The series remains unread.

The film we had in Groonkly cross-hairs was 9. A movie based off the short film first covered here back in February 2009 (watch the short film here:ANIMATED WIN: 9).

But we can’t(see: won’t) see 9 on opening day of 9-9-09, because our married friends decided 9-14-09 should be “guys night out” wherein DISTRICT 9 or 9 would be on the menu. Seeing a film twice in this economy is risky on our bank account. Thus Beskinsale wins this week’s Tease.

Our life is sorted in a boring geek kind of way.

UPDATE: The @ruckawriter himself shares a WHITEOUT movie review of interest. Those of you interested in the book can read the first issue for free on Lieber’s site.
