I Am Link

.

--- Bringing Hungry Back - The first pictures of Hugh Jackman on the set of the Les Miserables musical are online, but let's be honest I only care because I can see a hint of Hugh's chest hair. Yes, I am so single-minded that I can look through the applied filth and ratty beard and prisoner rags and find a little sexy to appreciate. As soon as he starts singing I'm gonna lose my boner though. Dealbreaker!

--- Space Ghost - I personally will not be reading this - as I said the other day with the new Prometheus trailer I've reached my saturation point until the movie's out now - but AICN chatted with Ridley Scott and writer Damon Lindelof about the film the other day. And io9 picked apart that most recent trailer pretty thoroughly.

--- Hark An Ark - Darren Aronofsky's Noah movie will start filming in July, with Aussie tugger Russell Crowe as the bearded boatman.

--- So Fetch - I love this article by Michael at The Film Experience asking what the new movie quotes we live by are. I always go blank whenever asked these questions, but since I watched Muriel's Wedding for the ten billionth time the other night let me just add "You're terrible, Muriel" and "What a bunch of cocksuckers!" to the list. Okay maybe it's just me who says these things all the time. Oooh or what about "Three o'clock. You get raped. Be there." Love that one. So handy.

--- Dork Shadows - DH gathered together some of the new posters and art-work for Tim Burton's Dark Shadows, and can I just say that I went into the trailer for the movie with everybody screaming about how it was a yawning abyss of despair and... I didn't hate it? I felt disgusting afterwards that I didn't hate it, but I actually even laughed a couple of times. At Johnny Depp, and at that girl I don't talk about. I am just disgusting.

--- And finally Twitch just alerted me to the fact that the Museum of Art and Design here in NYC will be doing an Argento family set of screenings over the next three months, celebrating Dario and his kids Claudio and Asia's films. Heaps of giallo on a (reasonably) big screen! Sign me up! (The old stuff of course - don't see anything Dario's made in the last twenty years.)

TGT11: Great Gratuities of 2011, Runners-Up

.

The time has come for the best naked menfolk of the year, according to me. Keep in mind this list (as all of these lists, of course) is highly subjective - although I think a lot of you are here because you find attractive the same gentlemen I tend to find attractive, the logic to the way I had to come up with to organize these guys, from top to bottom (and front to side, and every which way), probably will only make sense to me in the end. So it shall be.

But first up, the also-rans. These are the ones that I managed to remember but missed out on my top twenty. They're all prime obviously, but for the most part they just didn't give up enough this time around to qualify. Sorry, dudes. Please, do better next time! I like it when you try.

As an aside, I've been adding names to this all week so I'm sure there are people I haven't thought of, that slipped my mind, I am only one man and even my encyclopedic knowledge of cinematic bo-hunkery has its limits. And if they slipped my mind at this point I say they must have not done good enough in the first place! So, the runners-up be...

Chris Hemsworth, Thor

Chris Carmack, Shark Night (more here)

Bobby Cannavale, Win Win (more here)

Aaron Johnson, Albert Nobbs (more here)

Dustin Milligan, Shark Night (more here)

Taylor Lautner, Abduction (more here)

Hugh Jackman, Real Steel

Stephen Dorff, Immortals

James Franco, Your Highness

Thomas Jane and Rob Lowe, I Melt With You (more here)

Jon Hamm, Bridesmaids

Today's Fanboy Delusion

Today I'd rather be...

... keeping myself hydrated with Hugh Jackman.

This happens every couple of months - I think I've exhausted every picture there is of Hugh Jackman playing at the beach or by a pool that there is to be posted, and suddenly I find a new batch, and all is good again... for a couple of months, until I need to feed the beast, as it were, once more. Thankfully Hugh Jackman is the gift that keeps giving. These shots are from way back in 2009, and save a couple they are entirely new to my eyes. Oh, blessed be. Hit the jump for all twenty-seven of 'em.
