If you haven't seen Defendor see it, thats all I can say. It hits shelves on DVD and Blu-Ray this week I believe so check it out. MTV nabbed an interview with Kat Dennings who plays a sort of crack whore sidekick to Woody Harellson's costumed crime fighter, Defendor. Here are the highlights in which she also talks about another little indie flick she's a part of:)

MTV: Both you and Woody Harrelson are great in the film, but despite all of the dramatic tones, I have to admit that I laughed a little at his superhero suit. I imagine that was intentional, but did you ever have any issues keeping things serious while Woody's in superhero mode?

DENNINGS: No, actually we were pretty deep into what we were doing and I never really viewed this film as a comedy. I know there are funny moments, but I never looked at it like that — Woody didn't, either. There are elements of parody in his character, but not really, in my opinion. Everyone has their own view on it. But he's playing a guy with Fetal Alcohol Syndrome, and he's got a pure soul. So he's never really coming from a place where he's doing this funny. I always found it to be a pretty heartbreaking story. I'm always surprised when people describe it as a comedy.

MTV: Well, you're in a unique spot right now of being able to compare "Defendor" to a very high-profile, big-budget film you're working on these days: "Thor." How do the two compare?

DENNINGS: Right. Well, on one hand you have "Thor" — obviously an extremely epic, explosion on the screen. It's just incredible and it's on a huge scale, and it is its own universe. "Defendor" is completely the opposite. It's just this one guy who believes in truth and justice and goes about it in his own way — which means lime juice and paper clips versus actual magic powers. It's totally different. It's totally, totally different. It's based in the real world as opposed to a bigger, different thing that has its own universe.

LOVE LOVE LOVE me some Kat!

Yeah, my friend rented Slammin' Salmon instead of Defendor, dammit!. Is Defendor really good?

Thor is undoubtedly going to be the undisputed champion of CBMs in 2011. There is no competition except maybe GL but other than that it is clearly the winner. (CROSS [frick]ING FINGERS)

Its actually kind of excellent. I wasn't sure until I read Keith M's review then I checked it out. It probably won't be what you expect, but its damn good, and DEnnings is great in it too so looking forward to seeing her in Thor even though its a much smaller part.

Watching Defendor before Kick-Ass is actually a great idea. They have a lot in common, although Defendor is more of a comedic drama and Kick-Ass is more action/comedy.

ello teabag :)
RorMachine - 4/13/2010, 4:59 PM

StephenStrange - 4/13/2010, 5:03 PM
So ready for Thor pic!! Kenny B! Throw us a bone man!
KeithM - 4/13/2010, 5:47 PM
@Ror: I did warn you it was quite moving. ;)

I had a lump in my throat for sure. I think the trailer is a little misleading tbh - that makes it look more comedic and light than it actually is.

defendor was a great film and very dark in places. definitely worth a watch.
SHAZAM171 - 4/13/2010, 6:51 PM
UGH,Those Lips, WOW. She is a Hottie.
JTchicago - 4/13/2010, 7:42 PM
Here, Kitty, Kitty, Kat!
gtrman - 4/13/2010, 8:34 PM
Did I miss something? This is straight to DVD?
KevinBacon01 - 4/13/2010, 8:36 PM
She is uglier than a handful of assholes, i have always hated watching her in movies. Her look just really bothers me, i hope she would quit [frick]ing playing in comic book movies cuz she is seriously ruining them for me. Why the [frick] does she have to be in Thor? Im not saying she is a bad actress it's just whenever i see her in a film it completely takes me out of the film and all i think about is how awkward and ugly she looks. I hope her role is very small in Thor and i hope she is wearing a mask and has no speaking lines.
JerBear - 4/13/2010, 9:07 PM
How can anyone say Kitty Kat is ugly? She's about as ugly as Scarlett, Gwenyth and Liv are... oh wait.
Vital - 4/13/2010, 9:48 PM
It's almost annoying that I think she's growing on me and I actually think she's hotter and hotter more I see pics of her lol.
ThisFan - 4/13/2010, 10:00 PM
just finished it and thought it was great, plus kat dennings is so hot
gtrman - 4/13/2010, 10:35 PM
Okay, that was a good picture. I can see how on the set you would think it was a very serious film, but the music throughout and some of the tones in some scenes made the film a bit lighter than it needed to be in order for a viewer to take it more seriously. With the appropriate score and some of the silliness removed, this film could have had you crying at the end.

Still, a really good movie.
A7 - 4/14/2010, 5:49 AM
she looks like a sloppy lay.
antz1104 - 4/14/2010, 5:51 AM
I think she's pretty hot normally, not that lip-injected crap above. Can't wait to get Defendor tonight!!
Shaman - 4/14/2010, 6:37 AM
elephantknowsbest- I'll second that and i'll second what JerBear said too. Most definitely as ugly as Scarjo! But... she does look very much like Hela. So i'm not against her in that role IF that's the role she landed. Otherwise, she'll suck. I rewatched 40 year old virgin and yeah... she's not that good. Can't wait to buy Defendor! Woody's AWESOME!!!
johan02 - 4/14/2010, 9:11 AM
GOD I LOVE KAT DENNINGS!!!! does anyone know what state she lives in so I can stalk her?

SERIOUSLY
johan02 - 4/14/2010, 9:13 AM
@Shazam171 did you see what she looked like at the begining of that movie?? I almost didn't even realize that was her
spanky - 4/14/2010, 9:59 AM

johan02 - 4/14/2010, 11:16 AM

marvel72 - 4/14/2010, 11:44 AM
