Good Morning, World

Hey it's Tuesday. And that's all I have to say about that. In better news a couple more photos of Josh Heuston dropped (via) from that photo-shoot for Artchive magazine I shared last week (see those here) -- and yeah I went and bought the magazine once I saw there were multiple photos of Josh Heuston in his underpants in it. Don't judge me. Okay, there's your good morning post. Let's get this three-day week over with; I'm done already. An excellent start, right? I thought so. Yay Tuesday.

Give This Piece a Chance

I'm trying to will the care-free mood seen in this photo of Charles Melton into my own existence today -- spoiler alert: it ain't working. I don't know if my partner was punching me in the side of the head all night long as I slept (no this is not a cry for help) but I woke up feeling like I didn't sleep a single second last night, and I be draggggggging my ass this Thursday. This is pointless information for anyone who isn't "me" I know but it's good that I remind myself that this site is just a stupid fucking blog sometimes and I don't have to feel bad about insubstantial content. Tis my prerogative! Is it weird that typing that word out always makes me want to eat pierogies? In summation -- aren't you glad you just wasted one minute of your life reading this post? You're welcome. Any time. 

ETA Just got word my office is closing tomorrow so I am officially giving up for the long weekend. Hands in air, Jason don't care. I'm headed to a screening in half an hour (Backrooms baby!) and then I'm off until Tuesday. I should add since we're doing Accounting Of My Time here that NewFest and Tribeca Fest stuff start plaguing / entertaining me next week so my schedule's about to get nuts again -- on the positive side Summer Fridays at my day-job also kick off... well tomorrow now, I guess. Which means four-day weeks through Labor Day. Yes I am rambling! Let me ramble! I have half an hour to kill and need to stop fussing over my Tribeca schedule, which is much of what I've been working on this week. Anyway stay tuned -- coverage of those fests and lots more to come! Probably including me choking to death on my own bile! Have a great holiday weekend! Think of me like this (if you think of me at all):

Today's Fanboy Delusion

Today I'd rather be...

... giving Charlie Cox healthy bones.

Milk does a body good, baby! It also does a Cox good. 

Okay enough slutty tomfoolery.

Here's the context, if you must.

Lakeith Stanfield Nine Times

Hey people! Just got to my desk after having a screening this morning so I will make up for lost time now with these here photos of the ever handsome Lakeith Stanfield for Esquire magazine. You can read his interview here -- he's promoting Boots Riley's new movie I Love Boosters which hits theaters tomorrow (did you see I hit the pop-up in NYC yesterday afternoon for some movie merch?) Anyway having seen ILB I can say with genuine authority it's a blast and I thoroughly recommend -- not sure whether I'll be reviewing it or not but two movies in I'm big-time Team Boots; I adore his brand of chaotic nosnense. He was made for me! Also made for me -- Lakeith. Maybe news to Lakeith but it's true. So hit the jump for the new photos of my fella...

Tyriq Withers Fourteen Times

Did y'all see the rumor (nevermind, they confirmed it) that the stunning Tyriq Withers here of Him and Reminder of Him (him fetish much), as well as the I Know What You Did Last Summer reboot's memorable sauna scene, is dating Best Picture winner One Battle After Another breakout star Chase Infiniti? I think they make a pretty, pretty, pretty couple but this definitely throws a wrench in my "Tyriq is one of us" pet theory. (Did y'all SEE the video of him talking about Heated Rivalry?) I suppose he could just be bi, like all actors. (Every. Single. One.) Whatever -- this doesn't deflate my imagination of our whirlwind romance and short-lived marriage. (We would just be too passionate to stay together...

... but we'd both cherish the memories forever, and there would be several reunions over the decades that left many a hotel room smashed to bits.) Anyway our future ex-Mr. Adams-Withers  is one of the cover stars of the new issue of Numero Netherlands doing his whole dreamboat thing that he does so well -- there's a conversation with him at this link that I am saving to read over my lunch-break but y'all should feel free to go ahead and read it now. Don't wait for me by any means! Or you could just hit the jump where I've gathered up all of the hot man's new photos of him (him again!) being hot...

 

Good Morning, World

It doesn't seem right that I've brought up the hot hockey show Off Campus a couple of times now thanks to actor Josh Heuston -- who's on it but doesn't even play a hot hockey player -- without mentioning actor Belmont Cameli, who's on the show and very much plays a hot hockey player. Indeed he even gives us a soapy gratuitous shower scene for the ages therein. (I only know this because I frequent the internet places where such gifs are freely available -- I have not watched the show.) And what with it being Hump Day it only feels even more appropriate to share these gifs -- and a sidenote: I imagine we'll revisit Belmont down the road as even without having seen the boy in anything I've already got a folder fulla goodies, but for now we'll rein ourself in to the subject at hand. Hit the jump for the hot humpy hockey boy gifs...

Pillion Reaching Completion

It's been a long hard ride for Pillion and the people who love it -- the dom-com starring Alexander Skarsgård and Harry Melling edged us all fall awards season long (I saw and reviewed it at NYFF in October) only to wait until February to give us a U.S. theatrical release proper. The Oscars ignored it (because of course they did, they're lame) and I put it in my top five movies of the year, and now after all this time, it's finally coming... out on blu-ray! A24 dropped the pre-order earlier today -- grab it at this link. I don't really understand why it's not 4K but at least they're promising the "unrated  theatrical cut" which... I have no idea what that means to be honest. I saw it like three times but they were all in the fall during festival and awards screenings -- I never could really suss out what cut was what after that. I guess I'll know when I sit down and watch this after it ships out in July. Just in time for my birthday! Bend me over a picnic table and give me my present, Alex! 

Where There's a Will...

I have a screening this afternoon. The movie may or may not have this fellow in it. I'm not saying! But I am going to put him in front of you until I'm back in a couple of hours anyway. Bye til then.

Good Morning, World

Well blessings be upon us this Tuesday morning -- Mr. Colman Domingo has gone and covered Men's Health this week and granted us a photoshoot for the ages. This man is 56 y'all. FIFTY-SIX. I don't even have words. I will add this feels significant though because we've got an out gay black man on the cover of Men's Health -- granted I think, given all the coverage I've given this magazine for its slutty shoots over the past few years, this magazine skews gayer than it did when I was a wee gayling sneaking glances in the grocery-store checkout line. But still. Go on, Colman. He's proved himself a legend, an icon, by now, I think. So hit the jump for an iconic(ally sexy) shoot...

Double Oh Arty

I just happened to be looking at that picture of Daredevil villain and Downton fop Arty Froushan this morning -- "just happened" -- and it struck me: why not Arty for James Bond? He was born in the U.S. but was raised by his British mother in London -- they want someone younger and he's only 33. We need to be putting Arty's name (and everything else) into the conversation! They just started officially casting last week (although I have my doubts that they haven't been having conversations with actors and their own team at Amazon behind the scenes for months) and who knows where they're going with the franchise but I think all roads should lead to Arty. I have just decided it right now. Nothing else will make me happy. And you won't like me when I'm angry, Jeff Bezos! (Also fuck you, Jeff Bezos.) Anyway 007 or not I have now posted that photo above so my mission is accomplished. (Ooh an Ethan Hunt reboot! I know who'd be perfect for that!)

Josh Heuston Eight Times

Much as many of us would like to seize his something-or-other, Josh Heuston is sezing his moment with the release of his horny hockey series Off Campus -- yes, there's another one, only not gay unfortunately -- with a photoshoot worth the word "shoot" in all its many meanings for Artchive magazine. We just posted about Josh on Friday thanks to a slutty selfie and here we are again -- I would beg, Josh, but I am glad you're not making us. Hit the jump for the rest of your (ahem) shoot... 

Private Hells For Everybody!

Nicholas Winding Refn's latest movie Her Private Hell starring Sophie Thatcher and Charles Melton among others is about to premiere at Cannes, so today they dropped the teaser -- Thatcher and Melton (and Charles Melton's tits) are the main focus of it so I am assuming they're the main characters, our leading lady and lad. And tits.

As I told you back on the 1st we don't have forever ages to go until we can see this ourselves -- Neon is releasing it on July 24th. Thank goodness. Looks like a perfect Summer Movie -- really all Refn movies are Summer Movies. Everybody is hot and sweaty and mean. Anyway the teaser gives away very little -- just showcases NWR's style, the real star of the show, so feel free to watch: 

Pumping Jonathan Bailey

Gays supporting gays! You love to see it, especially when they're this hot and Jonny Bailey's popping a bicep like that -- the only good thing in the Wicked movies went to see Luke Evans and his headline-grabbing bulge in the new staging of Rocky Horror this weekend and we were all graced with this perfect moment captured. Huzzah. Anyway even though I could do a whole post for just that picture I have got something else on deck -- Deadline reported this morning that Mr. Bailey will be starring opposite one Natalie Portman in a movie called, ahem, Pumping Black. Is that an actual term that cyclists use? Because it's a movie about cyclists -- Jonny will be playing one who's aging out of the sport who gets taken under the nefarious wing of Portman's character, a doctor who "will stop at nothing" to win. So Pumping Black Swan, basically. Good lord -- I'm sorry, you can't put "pumping" in your movie title no matter what, but especially not with Jonathan Bailey there.  Am I really expected to spend the next, what, year, year and a half, no being sent into a tailspin whenever I think about these things together?? 

Good Morning, World

I am just going to assume that most of you who care about such things already saw the photos of Finn Jones here on the set of the next season of Daredevil Born Again, meaning a controversial return for him to the Iron Fist character -- those give me some sort of reason to be talking about Finn Jones at all, who I haven't seen in anything since then. I'll be damned though if he doesn't look perhaps the best he's ever looked in these new photos here though, so good on ya, Finn. I never watched Iron Fist, I only knew him via the group-up series The Defenders (plus his gay bit on Game of Thrones of course) and he left little impression on me (with Charlie Cox and Mike Colter standing there who stood a chance)  but I am willing and open to what ya got to bring now, Finn. Anyway! Happy Monday! I have a busy day ahead so it might be a little quiet. We shall see. 

Nicholas Hoult Wants To Play Master

I don't know if you kept checking back on my post of photos of Nicholas Hoult rocking this leather ensemble at the Met Gala the other week but if you only saw it the one time I recommend going back and scanning down as I went off. And with good reason! And I'm extremely thankful to've found even more photos from that blessed event today because we've got Nicky News to share and I wouldn't want to share it with any other photos. And it's super duper incredible Nicky News too. Hhe is teaming up with God's Own Country filmmaker Francis Lee -- right??? We're already excited -- to remake the 1963 Joseph Losey classic of homoerotic domination The Servant! (thx Mac) I only saw The Servant (which stars Dirk Bogarde and a delicious James Fox) this past year for the first time when Criterion released it and it is already hot hot hot stuff in that very restrained and coded way of its time -- wondering how Lee will update this all has me... 

... feeling things. The same sort of things these pictures of Nicky wearing leather makes me feel, actually. Anyway I'm not even done with all the incredible news here -- Hoult (who's playing the Fox role of course) will be starring opposite Colman Domingo in the Bogarde role of the man-servant who flips the script on his boss-man. Lee's version will relocate the story from the Swinging 60s in London of the original movie to 1950s New York -- and the fact that race has entered the chat due to Colman's casting will surely add some wrinkles when it comes to the power dynamics between the two men. Anyway as if all of THAT wasn't enough (and it was!) Hamnet hottie Noah Jupe (click here, click here) is also in the cast. This is unfathomably awesome movie news to end the week with! 

Time To Get Obsessed With Michael Johnston

I thought I might spend 2026 feeling more in line with my fellow critics on the horror movies than I did in 2025 -- when I wasn't jiving with movies lik Weapons and Good Boy that my peers were loving -- but my reaction to Obsession, writer-director Curry Barker's extremely well recieved new horror flick out in theaters now, has me second-guessing that instinct. Ciuz I didn't like it! Okay that's a bit harsh -- there are things I do like about it and I do mention them in my review which just dropped over at Pajiba, read it. But generally I think it's not nearly as daring as it believes itself to be -- although one thing I didn't mention there that I will mention here is that the film's leading man is played by that handsome fellow seen above; his name is Michael Johnston and I guess he was on the Teen Wolf series? 

I thought we'd run out of hot guys from that show by now who would force me to once again point out I never watched that show, but here we are. Anyway Johnston is good as the lead and he is very cute and, most importantly, he is also apparently openly gay! We love that for him! And for us! And our imaginations later. (He shows off his bum in the movie and it's one helluva bum y'all.) Anyway I bring up this fact not (just) so I could talk about his bum, but because the fact that casting a gay dude in this role is itself an extra-textual point in the movie's plus column. The movie is working very hard to obliterate the sad boy mindsets of incel straight dudes, and casting a gay guy to play that part is finely subversive stuff. I still think the movie doesn't really succeed with what it's trying to do for reasons I explain in the above-linked review, but it's got stuff going for it! My thoughts are really more mid than they are hateful. And hey that's something. Also something -- Google is telling me Mr. Johnston is partnered with a filmmaker named Anthony Sellitti who you can see below and umm... my goodness.

Tie Him Up With Ribbons

Twee gay absurdist and MNPP fave (as if calling someone a "twee gay absurdist" wouldn't already imply "MNPP fave" all on its own) Julio Torres is releasing a new book this year! It's called The Perfect Gift and in it Torres shares ideas and illustrations of gift ideas -- I'm sure it will take that concept to the same sort of bizarre conceptual places that his treatises on color did in his show Color Theories. (Which P.S. is now streaming on HBO Max!) The book's out in November and you can pre-order it right here -- below is one of the pages from the book to give you an idea of what you're in for. God I love him. I gotta re-watch Problemista stat.

Good Morning, World

While the discussion I started on Bluesky (see below) on whether Dune Prophecy and Dangerous Animals actor Josh Heuston is actually a human being or if he is computer-generated rages on here's further proof via his Insta that he is indeed a special-effect. (click to embiggen) Dude is fucking unreal, good grief. I guess he's on some slutty hockey show (non-Heated-Rivalry-edition) right now? Who foresaw slutty hockey shows taking over the world? I sure didn't. Anyway I'm in one hell of a mood this morning due to some dickery from my nemesis the post office so thank you, Josh, for distracting me temporarily. Let's get this Friday over with.

Have we decided whether Josh Heuston is A.I. yet

Jon Bernthal Ten Times

I thought I might save this Esquire magazine photoshoot of Jon Bernthal (which dropped earlier this week) for after I watched the spin-off Punisher episode that dropped after Daredevil finished its latest season, but... well time, man. Time! it is impossible. Never enough. I only just got to The Comeback finale last night  (masterpiece; give Lisa Kudrow her Emmy dammit) and I'm a couple of episodes behind on Half Man (and hello to the person who keeps yelling at me for not writing about that show) so this Punisher shit's just waiting for this weekend at this point. 

So I can no longer excuse keeping these photos from you! Because you obviously had no access to them until right now, as I share them, as I am the only website you visit. The only website you know of! Listen that might sound like nonsense but when the A.I. bots eat up everything else I promise you can still come over here and I'll be rambling nonsense like this alongside photos that have nothing to do with what I am talking about. That's my promise to you! Awful messy human blather. Lucky! On that note hit the jump for the photos...

Good Morning, World

A few weeks back I shared with you a photo of the front view of Noah Centineo shooting his memorable scene in the 2026 film Our Hero Balthazar -- far be it from me to deny us a back view now that it's available. (thx Mac) I still hate the existence of that shirt though. Set that shirt on fire! Bastard shirt! I mean we know you're not shy, Noah. (And that link ain't the half of it.) 

ETA the longer I have stared at this photo today (every time I scroll down the site it catches my eye anew) the more I convinced myself that I needed to face Noah off with Phil Dunster's similarly way too small and tight black briefs in Ted Lasso (seen here) -- it's the battle of the pinched butt-cheeks!
