	Heroine Addiction
	Update: Batch 2 is here. All right, a more cheerful entry. After talking to a few people, I made several more "Heroine Addict" icons. My strength in making graphics, as most of you have probably figured out, is simplicity. (Ha.) I'd like to think of it as a feminist (see: "Yes, You Are") sort of meme. Pass 'em on, make your own, make them better, add more, bring 'em here and show me. Take heroines from graphic novels, anime, cartoons, theater, movies, comics, I don't care. But if you make them, I'd love to see them, so come back and comment. Oh, and leave more requests/suggestions if you have any. Requests, arranged somewhat randomly: Lord of the Rings L-R, Harry Potter, Pirates of the Caribbean (2), In America X-Men L-R: League of Extraordinary Gentlemen (comic), Monsters Inc., Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon (still looking for a decent Michelle Yeoh picture), Whale Rider L-R: Star Wars prequels (2), Mists of Avalon, Run Lola Run Special bonus: Heroines from movies that haven't even come out yet! L-R: Episode III, Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow, King Arthur, Phantom of the Opera Tags: harry potter, icons, king arthur, league of extraordinary gentlemen, lord of the rings, movies, phantom of the opera, pirates of the caribbean, star wars, x-men

	Re:

Yup, it's filming as we speak. The girl playing Christine (icon) is Emmy Rossum--she was in an indie movie called Songcatcher, and has an excellent voice, so they probably did a good job on that one. Gerard Butler is the Phantom--Movieweb also lists Patrick Wilson (I think he was in Angels in America? Joe?), Simon Callow, Ciaran Hind, Miranda Richardson, and Minnie Driver. There's only one picture so far, the one I used, but the Phantom is also in it. :) If I hear anything else, it'll get posted on

dailydigest.

	Re:

Actually, I think that's the one and only picture I have of Natalie Portman in costume. There are a few set pics floating around... here's a few places you can always check now and again:

http://lightsout.movieweb.com/movies/gallery.php?film=7&id=173 (a few behind the scenes)
http://www.countingdown.com/movies/1371/multimedia (toys, a couple blurry pictures)
http://www.padawansguide.com/padme3.shtml (focuses on the costumes...ooo, hey, I don't have that picture...)

My primary interest in the Star Wars movies is 1) Natalie Portman's costumes with a secondary interest in 2) the hotness of Ewan McGregor... ;)

I'm going to take you up on this meme ^_^ Although, you have stolen amost of my fandoms. Although, I have a few ideas. I'll show you anything I come up with.

Awesome! Besides, mine are really, really simple. There's plenty of room for other iconers to bust out the fonts and filters. :)

I made a whole mess of ElfQuest icons. And yelled a lot of unkind things at my crappy photo-editor. :)

Don't feel bad--mine's pretty crappy, too. PhotoImpression 2000, man.

Got here by way of

offscreen :)

I've snagged the Whale Rider one for my use ... but I do have a suggestion! Reese Witherspoon as Elle Woods from Legally Blonde. Definite girl power vibe. I was skeptical at first, but I watched it the other night and now I am hooked.

What an awesome idea!

Ooo, good one. I'm working on another batch, so I'll make sure Elle's in there. Any other ideas?

how about scully from the x-files? In my mind, she's the ultimate strong female character :)

	Re:

Of course, snag away! That's what they're there for. I've already done Elle in the second batch, and I have a couple of Wendys but I don't like them. Have to find a better picture. And I thought about Dory, too! Have to make one for sure now. :)

May I suggest Kate Winslet as Madeline from Quills? Hell, Kate Winslet in anything.

Done. I've got Quills and Titanic so far; I'm looking for decent pictures from other things. :)

Who's in your icon? It's really striking.

Ooooh, lovely idea and lovely icons. I heart this picture of Eowyn, so I had to make it, hope you don't mind ;)
And I second the notion of a Scully icon. Anything with Gillian Anderson on it is just cool.

These are awesome! I love the idea. Snagging Pai, I've wanted a good one of her forever.
How about Alice or Lucy from "Iron Jawed Angels"?

Did that come out? I saw commercials for it on HBO when I was watching Angels in America, but I haven't kept up with TV for month or so. I wanted to see it, though. I'll have to find pictures...

	Michelle Yeoh pix

Look for shots taken from Silver Hawk which was released in China in January 2004, and just hit DVD. It's a decent flick, and she was looking really good.

Waddaya mean "yes you are"?

Speaking as a man regularly accused of being macho and misogynistic, your definition makes me out to be a feminist! What gives? Anyway, I'm much too lazy to bother making them, but may I suggest icons of Anne Lewis from Robocop? One of the rare believable tough chicks in cinema (my hatred of half baked, unrealistic "strong woman" characters accounts for a lot of my supposed anti-feminist nature, apparently).
She fights, she shoots, she helps undead cyborgs rediscover their humanity... A regular renaissance woman!
