--- All of Efron - I considered using
this cock-tease of Zac Efron's as a quote of the day earlier this week but it's so slight and off-the-cuff that it'd probably be pushing it even for here, where pushing it's par for the course - anyway Zac talking about his cock is welcome, so we need to let that be known. Speaking of, Nat's been doing his yearly "April Showers" series at The Film Experience and
last night he got around to the most holy scene of Efron-underpants in
The Paperboy.
--- The Ass In Assassin - Apparently Michael Fassbender and
Snowtown director Justin Kurtzel had a good time working together on that
MacBeth movie with Marion Cotillard, because they're trying to team up again,
this time with the Assassin's Creed video-game
adaptation that Fassy's been trying to get made for awhile. Supposedly
they might be jumping onto this quick. (If you've got Michael
Fassbender, you jump on him quick.)
--- Hungry Man - I'm not sure if this article's out of Britain or Canada (don't know the website) but whichever it is they're just getting the second season of
Hannibal now
and so they've got a visit to the set, which is cool even though we're ahead of them because we all should want to just live on that set. (thanks Mac) Plus pictures of Mads in that plastic jumper are always welcome.
--- Velvet Love - Rolling Stone did the lord's work by sussing out
a list of twelve things we learned about David Lynch at the talk he did in Brooklyn last night (thanks Mac) that
I went to;
it was literally the worst Q&A I've ever been to, and I've been to
some doozies. Can't blame this one on dumb audience questions since
there weren't any - the interviewer managed the feat all on his own. It
was excruciating. So bad I considered demanding a refund. A waste of
everybody's time, and a probably once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. I don't
really even want to talk about it because I'm kind of furious.

--- Mister Fantastic - I don't really understand why Ioan Gruffudd hasn't had a better career; he's awfully pretty, and he's
ample-behinded - isn't that all it takes? Well he's
signed on to die terribly in that earthquake movie with Dwayne Johnson now, so that's something I guess.
--- Nerd Alert - Who'd have thunk that it'd be Danny Strong who'd end up the most successful person to come out of Buffy - he's got an awards raining down on him for his screenplays!
Now he's signed on to direct his first film, which will be about JD Salinger's life. So who's gonna play the kinky recluse then?
--- And Speaking of people who started off small, one-time
America's Next Top Model contestant Analeigh Tipton has done so much better than anybody having anything to do with that show has any right doing -
she's just signed on to star in the new horror movie from the makers of
Catfish and one of the
Paranormal Activity movies (I am not looking up which one, you can't make me) called
Viral, which is about a horrible mutant virus that takes people over with tentacles and shit - it sounds kind of like
Body Snatchers or
The Faculty.
--- Fright Full - Holy shit you guys - the 1983 slasher
Curtains, which has one of the freakiest death masks ever filmed, is finally getting released!
STYD has all the info; it'll be right in time for my birthday... just saying...
--- And Finally (appropriately given it's the
Mean Girls anniversary) the trailer for the terrific horror-comedy
All Cheerleaders Die (co-directed by
May's Lucky McKee) has made its way online, you can watch it below.
I reviewed the movie last Fall when it played the Scary Movies Fest here in NYC; it is a ton of fun. It's getting released on demand on May 8th, and then it'll play theaters in June; I definitely recommend having a couple drinks and checking this one out!
