Today's Fanboy Delusion

Today I'd rather be...

... taking selfies with Sean Faris.

Bless Instagram, for without it where else would we see Sean Faris' painted-on abs? Am I expected to watch Pretty Little Liars? Am I expected to watch the upcoming horror film The App, about an evil computer app? (Okay I might watch The App.) No, until he gets a Josh Hartnett like renaissance, we'll just have to rely on his own boundless narcissism for our fix. Thank goodness it's so boundless. Hit the jump for around twenty more!

Which is Hotter?

Sean Faris in The Brotherhood 2 

or Sam Page in The Brotherhood?

A happy 52nd birthday to director David DeCoteau, who's never found it difficult in the slightest to make any horror story you can imagine revolve around a bunch of frat boys stripped to their underwear only to find themselves under an hypnotic spell that forces them to touch and stroke each other bunches; bless him. See more Sam Page here and more Sean Faris here.

Good Morning, Gratuitous Chris Lowell II

.

I wasn't sure what picture to begin this post with - Chris Lowell's been very kind & giving over the past year or so with this sort of thing, as you'll see - but I figure you can't go wrong with Chris and SNL's Beck Bennett in their underwear holding hands. They're apparently good friends, which for some reason seems nice to me, the idea of them hanging out, it seems nice. They seem friendly.

Friendly. Anyway yes we have done a Gratuitous Chris Lowell Part One before, way way back in the day (the day = 2007) when Veronica Mars was still on the air. That was before we really knew what we were doing; it's a scant post, that. Not this one though!

Lowell's a photographer (you can see a lot on his Instagram) and while I'm not 100% that every shot you'll see here is him, they all seem to be. The asses match. Maybe he's got lots of friends with similar asses, I don't know, it could be how he chooses his friends - seems as good a stick as any.

(Better even.) The real reason I'm posting on Chris today though is I saw him in a play this past weekend! It's called Jacuzzi and if you're in NYC you've only got ten more days until it closes and I actually really liked it, so I say you should try to score a ticket.

And yes okay Chris spends a good portion of the show half-naked in a jacuzzi, it's true. His co-star Chris Thureen, as the creepy ginger-bearded mountain man, he ain't too shabby either.

And there's lots of tension, sexual and otherwise, hanging in the humid air. It's actually riffing on horror movies some, which I didn't know going in, so how could it go wrong with me? Besides the nakedness and the genre-stuff I actually thought everybody was terrific, and it's worth seeing on its own dramatic merits. Plus...

... ya know, the other stuff. Here's a link to the trailer for the show. OK back to Chris - hit the jump to see the rest of the pictures...

I Am Link

.

--- Panther Man - Marvel did their big announcement yesterday with a lady superhero movie in Captain Marvel and a black superhero in Black Panther getting announced - Chadwick Boseman will be playing the latter. (Although I'd pay good money to see him play the former.) What I appreciate most though is this infographic here at Comics Alliance laying out when all these movies, Marvel and DC and so forth, are coming out via timeline - it's so ridiculously over-booked, you guys. We're going to be up to our eyeballs in spandex for the rest of our lives. (And hey if it's Chris Evans wearing that spandex, I am willing to make that sacrifice.)
.

--- Horror Revival - Didn't Stephen King say not too long ago that he was planning on slowing down or not writing any more horror or something? I swear I'd checked that box off in my mind and yet what's happened instead is he never stops and I've been unable to keep up with it. (I still haven't read Doctor Sleep, for goodness sake.) He's got a new book called Revival, which sounds like it's his take on Frankenstein (what was I just saying about everything being about Frankenstein right now?), coming out in a couple of weeks and Rolling Stone's got the first excerpt from it. They also apparently have an interview with him in the print magazine.

--- John Lives - I suppose it's Halloween-time so John Carpenter is bound to be in the air, but I feel as if it's been an especially Carpenter-ish few weeks - this piece at Rolling Stone on how underrated his 1988 flick They Live is is just one signifier of countless that I've received that he's in the air. Maybe he can make a new movie then?

--- And Speaking of horror directing legends, Wes Craven's not keeping himself cooped up - he is about to release a five-issue comic book series with Steve Niles called Coming of Rage, which was his answer to the joke starting "A Vampire, a Werewolf and a Zombie walk into a bar." Apparently he's planning on turning it into a TV series, too. You can buy it right now at Amazon!

--- And Speaking of Wes Craven and horror television, the Scream TV show is set to come out next year at this time, and I loved Manuel's take on the news at The Film Experience that we might not be seeing the ghostface mask because of rights issues.

--- Slip On Something Horrible - Also at The Film Experience Nathaniel's list of the ten best 2014 movie-related Halloween costumes is a pip - I don't know why a Boxtroll costume didn't occur to me while watching the movie but totally! That's a great idea.

--- 1313 Stud - You'd think what with the blending of horror and beefcake I'd have seen more David DeCoteau movies than I have... basically I have seen scenes from a few of his movies, and no more. (The Sean Faris scenes in The Brotherhood 2 come to mind often though.) I think it's terrific he's been so successful at gaying up horror and exploiting guy-parts in a genre formerly known for just the girl ones anyway, even if the movies themselves are, uh, tough go's. Here's a nice chat with him (thanks Mac) about his whole thing; have any of you seen his "stab at seriousness" called Leather Jacket Love Story?

--- Hamm Game - This interview with Lisa Kudrow at Vulture (thanks Mac) had me laughing so hard I teared up - it was the bit about Jon Hamm's character on Web Therapy that did it. The interview's mainly about The Comeback and I had to skip the paragraphs where they got into specifics on that since I'm trying to keep myself fresh for the November 9th premiere.

--- Cold Rain - The Playlist is giving away a copy of some movie called The Prince on Blu-ray; I hadn't heard of the film until I saw this post and I only took note of this post because hey look it stars Korean superstar and hot-cake-of-beef Rain. Although you wouldn't know it from any of the actual promotional materials - although you see his face all over the movie's trailer his name is never mentioned; Bruce Willis and Jason Patric get sold, and hell even 50 Cent gets his name in the trailer and it looks like he's all but a cameo. Fuck that noise, some of us will only see this crap for Rain, dummies!

I Quit Smoking Four Years Ago Today...

.

... and every May 5th since I've posted a series of photographs of sexy men smoking in honor of my accomplishment. You can see Year One right here, you can see Year Two right here, and you can see Year Three right here. I haven't touched or wanted to be touched by a cigarette even once. Chantix is a miracle drug, you guys. Seriously. I only killed three hobos while taking it.

Yadda yadda I've gathered up a pretty substantial batch of pictures this year so I'm putting the rest after the jump! Here's to another year of clean (with regards to cigarettes and nothing else) living! 

Happy Birthday, Sean Faris

.

It seems every year on this day I'm able to find
a little bit more of his to give. Bless him.

Sean Faris Five Times

.

I don't have much chance to post pictures of Sean Faris, or at least not as much as I'd like to - aka pictures like this ten times a day - so I find it strange that I never got around to posting these pictures of him in Men's Fitness when they first showed up way back in February-ish. Perhaps I looked at the ridiculous photo-shopping they did of him in that left-hand black-and-white shot and got annoyed and shrugged it off? I've been known to be silly! Anyway apparently this issue was their best-selling issue all year long, so perhaps I'll get my ten-times-a-day wish once the magazines catch wind of the mighty power of his pecs.

Sean Faris Has Had A Really Queer Career...

.

... so I will wish him a happy birthday today. Giving boy.

.

Good Morning, World

.

Ugh Sean Faris might get me watching The Vampire Diaries after all... bastard! Then again if similar post-shower shenanigans with Jared Padalecki haven't pulled me into the Supernatural web yet then I think I might have the wherewithal to hold strong... maybe... defenses weakening...
.

Sean Faris Three Times

.

(pics via) Saw that he's on The Vampire Diaries now when I was flipping through the channels last night. I suppose that was an inevitable move, what with his "film" "career" turning to dust between his fingers. But what I wanna know is, will he and Ian Somerhalder make out? On screen, I mean, I'm sure there's plenty of behind-the-scenes junk going on, but that's not doing me any good.

Here's A Buncha Josh Lucas For No Reason

.

A couple of random things placed Mr. Josh Lucas into my brains today. First inspiration was seeing this news that he's joined the cast of Life as We Know It which is unfortunately not a big-screen remake of that failed television series with Piz and Sean Faris but rather just a movie with that Heigl person and The Duhamel and the one with the big boobs on Mad Men. I am presumably unwise to immediately be wishing for scenes of the two Joshes wrestling naked Women In Love style. But I wish it all the same.

And secondly, from there I was reminded of some shots from Lucas's recent film Death In Love that had made their way onto the internet just recently that I hadn't posted, including him bare-assed and almost making out with Adam Brody (not at the same time, sadly):


(via) Anyway! From there it was a downwards spiral (so much of my life is spent in one of them!). I felt like looking at more Josh after that. And perhaps you might looking at Josh some too. It's the perfect lunch-time companion! So here.
