It's curtains for you - lacy, gently wafting curtains.

Hey kids, I know only like 4 peole read this but I'm sorry I have been so shitty about posting lately. I could post to do lists and reviews of what I'm watching from netflix but I suck at reviews and I don't think you lot care about my to do lists, numerous as they may be. The only other things happening in my life are table top RPGs and bi-weekly breakdowns about my math class and the injustice of the worlds regard toward people that drop out of college rather than attempt (and spectacularly fail) to pass Algebra. *sigh* Why can’t I just gonna listen to Rufus Wainwright and bake ridiculous looking cakes for the rest of my life? I can pay my bills doing that right? RIGHT? Ahem... Anyway, I'm sorry.

Whatever remains, however improbable...

Just a quick question... Why is there a dionsaur on the cover of this GARETH DAVID LLOYD AS WATSON!! Sherlock Holmes? Granted, I'm not as well versed in Mr. Conan Doyle's works as I proabaly could be but this just seems like bad crossver fic.

A Very British Cover-Up Trailer

It's got drag queens and Gareth David-Lloyd, what more do you really want out of a show?

Attractive person of the day: Paul James

Paul James is and attractive person in his own right but do a google image search on the dude; it's... odd.

To Unite By Overlapping And Securing Together Two Ends

So there is a flick coming out called Splice and it looks either absolutely amazing or totally horrific.

Elsa (Sarah Polley) and Clive (Adrien Brody), two young rebellious scientists, defy legal and ethical boundaries and forge ahead with a dangerous experiment: splicing together human and animal DNA to create a new organism. Named Dren, the creature rapidly develops from a deformed female infant into a beautiful but dangerous winged human-chimera, who forges a bond with both of her creators - only to have that bond turn deadly.

No trailer or release date yet but here is a clip from Bloody Disgusting and it looks rad as hell.





I personally am beyond stoked for this, there is some behind the scenes footage at the official website but not much else. I'll be sure to post a follow-up about it again when I get more details.

The Crazies

Okay kiddies, time for something a bit different: Here are the trailers for The Crazies; both the original from 1973 and the 2010 remake. Compare, contrast, comment and we'll revisit this in a week or two.


2010


1973

Time Zero

Last night Columbia Pictures aired a clip from 2012 on the major broadcast networks, local stations in the top 70 markets, and nearly 450 television stations in North America. The projected television audience this little stunt was 110 million people. Apparently, this was the same footage was shown back during Comic-Con which takes the awesome down a bit but STILL!


Now maybe people won't laugh at me when I say that California is going to fall into the sea.

Anyway, the flick looks frankly ridiculous... If by 'ridiculous' I mean ridiculously AWESOME! Its lousy with CGI, and may single handedly make all other disaster films look just plain lame by comparison, I mean this is the end of the god damned world after all, there isn't a lot that an top that. Remember that scene in The Day After Tomorrow where the characters were running away from the cold-pocalypse? Well in this they're running away from a WAVE OF LOS ANGELES!! Let me just clear up this up now: This flick isn't about the theory that cataclysmic or transformative events will occur at the end of the year 2012 based primarily on what is claimed to be the end-date of the Mesoamerican Long Count calendar, it's about DEATH BY CGI!!

Attractive Person Of The Day: Christie Laing

I first came across this attractive person as one of the little black dress wearing Crossroads Demons on Supernatural and that was awesome and then I was distracted by the rest of the pretty cast and I sort of forgot about her and then she turned up on The 4400 and I took notice again but couldn't really find anything big that she'd done so again I let her slip from my memory and then she turned up on Kyle XY and so she got added to the list of attractive people to feature on this blog.




She was great in all the miniscule roles that I've seen her in and so I'd like to see what she can do with a bigger part. DO YOU HEAR ME HOLLYWOOD!! *Sigh* they don't hear me.

ETA: A reader has commented with a link to a fansite MADE BY said reader, how rad is that?!

Nosferatu Does Not Share His Toffees

Like scraps form the dinner table, Overture Films has given us the for sure, final, main cast of Cloverfield Director Matt Reeves’ Let Me In the remake of stunningly beautiful, Swedish horror film Let The Right One In.


This is, however, one of the most gorgeous posters I’ve seen all year .

Kodi Smitt-McPhee will be playing 'Owen' Chloe Moretz will be playing 'Abby' and Richard Jenkins will be taking the as yet un-renamed role originally known as Hakan. Due to the overwhelming popularity and fan adoration of the original the flick has been "fast tracked" and is set to start shooting in November but for the same reasons it's hard to think about the flick without dread in your heart. The original was a brilliant, subtle, gorgeous film and it's hard not to cringe when you think about how Reeves is going to get his American all over it. Let's not forget that he wrote and produced Felicity, after all. I'm going to reserve judgment until I see the flick but I'm not going in with high hopes.

Attractive person of the day: Anthony Rapp

Nothing even remotely interesting has happened today and so were skipping right to attractive person of the day: and today it's Anthony Rapp is a gorgeous man. I've had a ridiculous crush on him since High School when I first saw Rent on Broadway, this and his amazing singing voice is what makes him the attractive person of the day.



I'd really like for him to come to my house and sing songs to me now.

Attractive Person Of The Day: Lena Headey

I've been watching Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles. Now, I've already blogged about my hard-on for Summer Glau but that doesn’t make today’s attractive person any less hot just not Summer Glau, whom is possibly the most amazing looking person ever. I swear that this isn't a love letter to Summer Glau. Whatever, I'm gonna stop digging now. The attractive person of the day is Lena Headey

Why Isn't There A Portmanteau‎ Of Frost And Pegg

Okay kids, lets take a sec to talk about Simon Pegg and Nick Frost. They're awesome. They rock my face off. They put the ass in BAMF. I love them. That's really all I have to say on the subject at the moment... Now to talk about Paul; It's Mr. Pegg and Mr. Frost's new flick (the first pictures of which have just shown up) it's going to be awesome and if you say otherwise you are banned.


That there is Mr. Frost, Mr. Pegg, Blythe Danner and Jane Lynch. Chew on that for a sec.

Paul is a comedy about two sci-fi geeks who embark upon a pilgrimage in a RV to the center of America’s UFO heartland: Nevada’s infamous Area 51. While in the middle of that desert, the two friends encounter a fugitive alien by the name of Paul. Somewhat reluctantly, they embark upon an adventure that will change not just their lives forever, but also the lives of the friends and enemies they encounter along the way.

Paul also features Sigourney Weaver, Jason Bateman, Jo Lo Truglio, Bill Hader, Dave Koechner, John Caroll Lynch, Kristen Wiig and Seth Rogan's voice. It got finished shooting pretty recently and releases on August 16, 2010 so maybe we’ll get to see some footage soon. *crosses fingers*

Giving Your Daughters Body Image Issues For 50 Years

So... I’m hearing talk of a live action Barbie movie; at least I assume it’ll be live action, I mean, if it’s not live action then I don’t think I’d have even heard about it, there are already a ton of those shitty direct to DVD animated Barbie flicks so... Anyway, Barbie movie. There are a lot of things that I could say about this, (none of them actually positive) but the foremost concern I’m having here is this: what will the plot be?


I'd be there opening day to see this bitch.
Barbie is a universally recognized product, hell it’s more than a product it’s a multi generational, cultural phenomenon and that’s certainly impressive but, so? If it was the story of the products creation or cultural relevance I could sort of imagine the plot, I’d slip into a boredom coma but I could say that about a lot of movies (also I’m pretty sure that flick has already been made) but a flick about Barbie herself? I’ve got nothing against movies based on toys, well, nothing relevant to this argument, but my understanding is that they have a sort of built in premise from witch you can extrapolate a story. What the fuck is Barbie: The Motion Picture gonna be about? Is she gonna teach Christopher Eccleston about being a 'strong' independent female? (I’d totally see that movie BTW) Or go shopping with Skipper played by Megan Fox? The whole thing is just so ridiculous that I cannot even believe I’ve spent as much time thinking about it as it took me to write this blog. I need to stop now before I loose any more IQ points. *sigh* The things I do for you people.

Attractive Person Of The Day: Terrance Zdunich

Today's Attractive Person Of The Day is Terrance Zdunich

• Because he is Graverobber.


• He's a fantastic artist.


• Have you heard his voice? He could read the dictionary and make it sound pornographic.


• and because I've met the man twice now and he's been absolutely lovely both times.

Gentles! The Time Has Come!

Okay, so Boondock Saints may not have been the best flick ever but it's a lot of fun and makes for a FANTASTIC St. Patty's Day tradition and an even better drinking game, well, that is if by 'better' you mean 'alcohol poisoning-tastic.'



Well, a few years ago it was announced that there would be a sequel entitled Boondock Saints II: All Saints Day and we've been looking forward to our impending liver failure ever since. I was a little worried when it was announced that there would be no opera backed antics from Mr. Willem Dafoe however his replacement is none other than the very lovely Julie Benz. While it is actually impossible to be as awesome as Mr. Dafoe I'm sure she'll at least be able to keep up with Rocco which is all we can really ask of the poor lass.

Now my friends, it's time: I bring you the trailer:



Yes, it looks like more of the same but please take into account that the original is pretty gosh darned rad.

Here’s the plot of the sequel, as written by Dave from slashfilm:
A COPYCAT KILLER IS IMITATING THE BOONDOCK SAINTS! GUNS! JULIE BENZ IS HOT! SLOW MOTION! MORE GUNS! SLOW MOTION! PEOPLE SHOOTING THINGS! ONE-LINERS! LOTS OF GUNS! PEOPLE GETTING SHOT! MORE ONE-LINERS! SLOW MOTION! CLIFTON COLLINS JR.! MORE GUNS! EXPLOSIONS! BILLY CONNOLLY HAS LOTS OF GUNS IN HIS JACKET AGAIN! AGAIN WITH THE ONE-LINERS! PETER FONDA, FOR SOME REASON! DID I MENTION THERE WERE GUNS IN THIS MOVIE? SLOW MOTION!

The flick is out on October 30 but All I have to say is this: if you’re really dying to see a hit-man movie with Irish accents, a hot babe, crazy violence and killer, funny dialogue, get In Bruges. I promise it is better than either of these.

Attractive Person Of The Day: Connie Chiu

Because I've got a thing for hot people that are also a little freaky today's attractive person of the day is albino fashion model, Connie Chiu.

I Would Like, If I May, To Take You On A Strange Journey.

The Rocky Horror Picture Show is a bad movie. It is, in fact, so bad that people around the world gather regularly to make fun of it. Loudly. I know, I’m one of them.



The 1975 cult classic stars Tim Curry as Dr. Frank-N-Furter - A Scientist, Mr. Curry plays a bisexual, alien transvestite in very impressive heels alongside Barry Bostwick and Susan Sarandon as our 'hero and heroine.' Oh, and [spoiler alert] they eat Meat Loaf. It's AWESOME. It is the perfect film and no one would ever, EVER be stupid enough to remake it... Or so we thought. In what is possibly the worst move ever - Enter: MTV productions!
Variety tells us that the remake will use the original screenplay by Jim Sharman and Richard O'Brien but it may also include music not featured in the original and that no casting decisions have yet been announced.
The film had been set to be released as early as Halloween 2010 but more recently it was announced that the remake has been put "on hold." Inside sources tell io9 that it "may take a while."

Why Is 'HOSTAGE' Capslocked?

Okay, yes, I too am promoting HOSTAGE: A Love Story; so sue me! Quinto is hot and his eyebrows are really fucking distracting and... Just watch it okay?! There are so few actors that do these (arguably) stupid, (definitely) silly sorts of things, (it’s beneath them, you see) and so I really want to support the ones that do. This particular stupid thing stars Zachary Quinto (Heroes, Star Trek), Roberta Valderrama (10 Items or Less) and Rachael Harris (The Hangover).
