Terminally Incoherent

Can someone tell me what is Alien vs. Alien aka Final Destination aka The Final Frontier? All I know is that it is a science fiction movie and Gigi Edgley is in it. Other than that, there is just no information about it available. It is listed on her IMDB resume but IMDB proper does not list it under any of the names.

I know that working titles are usually shitty, but DUDE! How about not naming your movie after a very established franchise? First you run against AVP, then you steal the name of a shitty thriller that spawned multiple sequels, and your third choice is a Star Trek title? What in the god’s green fuck were they smoking?

Judging from the creativity in the title choices, this picture sounds like a low budget exercise in regurgitation of alien-themed scifi cliches. I will still want to watch it though just to see Gigi doing her thing.

Gigi looks cute in Last Train to Freo:

The trailer, is surprisingly light on Gigi content - especially considering that there are only like 5 actors in this movie total. I can tell you right now that it will never fly here in US. It is one of those “5 people on a train talking” movies which would put even the most open minded, cultured American audiences to sleep in 3 minutes flat (yes we suffer from cultural ADD). At least that’s the impression I got from the clip.

I wish it was easier to track down information about Gigi and her projects. Unfortunately her official website is useless, and since Farscape ended a long time ago people stopped posting the “where are they now” news on message boards.

Gigi did some TV work after Farscape, but the shows she appeared in are not syndicated in US. Aussies don’t mind leaching on American TV show torrents but they don’t seem to bother seeding their own TV stuff. How is that fair? Come on people, share a little of your own culture. Same goes for their YouTube and Google Video presence - if you are searching for some obscure Australian shows, you are shit out of luck.

For example, Gigi had an awesome lesbo kissing scene in Stingers, but I can’t even find a measly low-res clip of that scene anywhere:

If this was an US show, this scene would probably be floating all over the internet. If you have that clip, I want it! US Gigi fans are really missing out on some good stuff here, as it seems that she pretty much hooks up with half of the cast before her role is over. It’s kinda like watching Chiana without makeup and with Gigi’s natural Australian accent.

People of Australia! Your mission, should you choose to accept it, is to send me sexy Gigi footage from your TV shows.

Gigi’s most recent project is Last Train to Freo - a psychological drama more or less centered around her character. Here are some screenshots:

It seems to be an interesting film, and a very complex, juicy role for Gigi. But what are the chances we will see this production here in US? Slim to none. I really hope someone will actually make a torrent out of this, or share it via e-donkey/mule network.

I found the kiss scene from Stingers:

Is it just me or is Haley Berry stealing Gigi Edgley’s Chiana look in X3? I swear, X3 storm and Chiana look like they were separated at birth:

If they painted Haley the same grayish paint, she could play Chiana’s sister

Can’t wait for X3. So far the X-men movies have been getting better. X1 was ok, X2 was better, so if that trend continues X3 should be actually a good movie. But then again, who knows.

As you may know I’m a big fan of the little known Australian Actress Gigi Edgley. I had a pleasure to meet her in person at a Farscape con one time, and get her autograph. She has an amazing personality - very bubbly, energetic and joyful. We were joking at some point that they should put her picture next to the word exuberant in a dictionary. Seems to be the kind of person you definitely want to go partying with

Anyways, someone pointed out that Getty Images has archived some shots of Gigi that haven’t really circulated among the post-scapers. Unfortunately it is one of those sites that charge you for access to the high quality versions. But they do have decent sized preview pics that actually do not require a magnifying glass to view.

Some of these never really surfaced in the wild. These are mostly shots from various public events Gigi attended. They have few shots of her in that very exposing fishnet dress that made people go apeshit few years back. That’s actually an image that I would like to have in high resolution.

Some other things that I figured out while browsing their pictures (they have 5 pages of Gigi): Gigi is way hotter than her sister and she is dating a gay version of Strider. Seriously, this is how Aragorn would look if he was a full blown, out of closet, flaming homosexual.

Anyways, check out the pics. They are cool. I wish they offered larger images.

I found this in my mailbox (I took out all the names and other private info):

Hi, My name is [name removed] and I met Gigi last week at a Halloween party. I was introduced to Gigi by [name removed] and we talked a while. Gigi gave me her phone number and said I should call her. Needless to say my cell phone didn’t save the number and now I can not make contact with Gigi. If you could contact Gigi and give her my info I would greatly appreciate it.

Sure buddy! I’ll get her on the phone right away. You want me to pass her any other messages while I’m at it? Because, you know - it’s not like I don’t have this disclaimer right there on the website:

First, and foremost please note that I am not Gigi Edgley! Yes, I know I’m stating the obvious but you would not believe how many people mistaken me for Gigi. So let’s get that out in the open at the beggining. Furthermore, I do not know Gigi in person! I do not have any means of communication with her, and I cannot forward her your message.

And even if I personally knew Gigi, do you think I would be passing her messages from any random guy who googled up my website? Geez…

My brother suggested that I send this guy the rejection-line number. I don’t know though… Should I be an asshole to this guy?
