The worst part about this is, I’m serious. No, totally serious.  There’s a movie coming out called “Bitch Slap”, and it features three “bad girls”–a stripper who’s down on her luck, a drug-runner and a corporate power broker–who’ve gone to the desert in an attempt to extort a massive quantity of the fat loots from a ruthless underground kingpin.  Meanwhile, there are plenty of other criminal types interested in getting a cut of said fat loots descending on the kingpin’s desert hideout.  Allegiances will change, truths will be revealed, yadda yadda, and then, somehow, despite all logic and common sense, the fate of the very world will somehow hang in the balance as our enterprising trio of ladies discovers the horrible truth that one of them just might NOT BE HUMAN!

Insert dramatic “dun dun duuuuuuhn!” effect here.

Now…when I first got a look at this sucker, all I could think was–just like the petunias: Oh no, not again.  Seriously, I thought Quentin Tarantino had thrown up yet another seventies regurgitation that film buffs would be required by natural law to gush over despite the fact that pretty much everything Tarantino’s done has been vaguely similar to EVERYTHING HE’S EVER DONE (I expect Liz to start screaming at me any minute about this, a sort of running joke / argument between us) .  Especially since Grindhouse’s Zoe Bell is also slated to be involved.

Thankfully, Tarantino seems to be neck-deep in “Inglorious Bastards”,  yet another seventies knockoff, so he had nothing to do with “Bitch Slap”.  So I’m left to opine on the other matter–the absolute kickass fact that this movie will bring in a reunion.

Namely, Kevin Sorbo and Lucy Lawless.  Yes, that’s right…”Bitch Slap” will feature a Hercules / Xena: Warrior Princess reunion.  And this is very good news.
