I Am Link
.
--- Kill Thrill - Scream + Teaching Mrs. Tingle writer (I'm sure he'd rather we forgot the latter - never forget!) Kevin Williamson has written "a serial killer thriller" TV show for FOX, and it is going to star Kevin Bacon as a cop on the trail of a murderer played by hot piece James Purefoy. I look forward to seeing Purefoy get his creep on, I most certainly do.
--- People Are Delicious - Jim Mickle, the director of the recent vamp-apocalyptic flick Stake Land which I definitely thought had its moments, is going to be remaking the Mexican cannibal family tale We Are What We Are, which I liked very very much (it was my second favorite horror film of 2010). Mickel also made the "rat people in the Lower East Side" horror flick Mulberry Street, and one thing you get from watching those two movies is he's really good at expressing quick brutality - not in a gratuitous way, but appropriately, and horrifyingly. I don't know if he'll be able to top Jorge Grau's very good film, but I'm willing to watch and see what he does with it.
--- In The Inn - In a nice little small-town tale, Ti West's The Innkeepers screened last evening to a sold-out crowd in the hometown of the Yankee Pedlar Inn, which is where the haunted inn story is set, with the director and his two leads in attendance. The people of the town were all adorably excited. "That's right across the sctreet," screams Jane Q. Public! Aww. Small-town people are quaint.
--- Scar Joe - It's nice when somebody does the talking for you - Nat wrote up some thoughts on the new news of Joseph Gordon-Levitt's directorial debut being a rom-com starring himself and Scarlett Johansson and an as-yet-uncast third female role (Joe's a lothario caught between two ladies), and my first thought was the same as his, that Joe and Scarlett seem like an odd fit at first, but then after a little thought it starts sounding good. I too am glad that ScarJo might try acting again, since it's been a couple years since Vicky Christina Barcelona.
--- Sex Doll - Slash offers up some fresh details on Lars Von Trier's next movie Nyphmomaniac, which will star his muse the amazing Charlotte Gainsbourg in a supposedly pornographic exploration of a woman's erotic life, which is how they are putting it not me for god's sake not me. This isn't exactly a surprising coming from the Danish provocateur, he's done plenty of explicit sex in the past. What I like about the story is what Charlotte has to say about testing where her limits are with Lars, and how she admits that with Antichrist her limit was jerking off a porn actor stand-in. Good to know!
--- Ben Again - A couple more pics from Abraham Lincoln Vampire Hunter came out yesterday, but still no Dominic Cooper. Why are they keeping the Cooper hidden under a bushel? And don't tell me it's because nobody cares that much except for me, and his role's probably small, I don't want to hear it!
--- Hobbit Hooey - I found this news-story at The Guardian really ridiculous - it's all about how the actors in Peter Jackson's Lord of the Rings movies were a bunch of nobodies and how he's cast all these HUGE NAME actors for The Hobbit and how that will change the whole dynamic and ruin it all. They then go on to list a bunch of British actors that are in The Hobbit that might be huge names to BBC watchers but to the lay-person rest of the world are pretty much nobody. Don't get me wrong, I know who Benedict Cumberbatch and Billy Connolly and Stephen Fry and Martin Freeman are, but they're certainly not bigger names to the general populace than Elijah Wood or Ian McKellen or Sean Astin were before Fellowship of the Ring.
--- Web Presence - I guess they're gearing up the press push for The Amazing Spider-Man into high since we're getting trailers and photographs piling up - here's a gallery with a couple new shots right here. I really don't get tired of looking at Andrew Garfield in his spandex so I'll just keep on linking.
--- Terry Time - I haven't been keeping up with news of Terrence Malick's next movies - yes plural; apparently he's decided to get his ass in gear in his old age - since I was totally meh on The Tree of Life and that dampened my Malick enthusiasm for the time being, but DH says that Natalie Portman has just joined two of his upcoming movies. Christian Bale and Cate Blanchett will also star in both movies. So obviously he can just get whoever he wants to make stare at wheat now. Hooray!

Today's Fanboy Delusion
Today I'd rather be...
... crashing Christian's pool party
to wish him a happy 38th birthday.
I'd rather bypass the phone and go straight to blowing bubbles up his trunks but whatever, we take what we can. Happy birthday, Batman! Happy birthday, Bateman! I still love you, Dickie. Even if you've proven yourself a bit humorless slash insane the past couple of years. If you were a sane person you wouldn't have made American Psycho such a eye-bugging spectacular. And I don't even mean just your ass.
There's not really much left for me to do with Christian to wish him a happy birthday at this point, I've done it all before. I've listed my favorite performances, I've cluttered the internet with every frame of his cinema-changing Psycho nakedness (I divide Cinematic Male Nudity into B.B. (Before Bateman) and A.B. (After Bateman). So uh... here are a bunch of pictures I haven't posted before from movies not named American Psycho. I guess that'll do. Hit the jump.

Blow Me Away, Ewan
.
I've already seen and reviewed the movies coming out this weekend that I'd have had any desire to see - those being Steven Soderbergh's Hayire (review) and Ralph Fiennes' Coriolanus (review) - so I'm going to try and finally catch up on movies I haven't gotten around to seeing yet instead. (Hello, Tintin!) I can't quite make my mind up on Zhang Yimou's The Flowers of War - the reviews have been disappointing, to put it kindly, and the photos I've seen from the film don't seem to have any of that visual flair I need from his movies. Hrm. Anyway, point being, there are movies out today! So I wrote up some thoughts on them at Celebrity Beehive, go read that. And because you're all wonderful people I've attached two shots of Ewan McGregor being hot to this post. Enjoy.
