I'm Going Home & I'm Gonna Bite My Dirty Pillows

.

This news story was made to break my brain. That girl who won't leave me alone, Chloe Moretz, is apparently one of two girls in top contention for the remake of Carrie. The remake of Carrie was already making me want to drive a stake through my own heart - now they're just fucking taunting me.

Making it worse, I actually really like the other girl possibly up for the part - her name's Haley Bennett and we've extolled her awesomeness in The Hole and Kaboom. It's worse because I just want to straight up not have this happen at all and if Moretz stars in it then I just straightforwardly hate on it - if an actress I've been rooting for like Bennett gets the part it will be much more complicated.

And it's already complicated, because director Kimberly Pierce should be doing better things with her time. Why can't she just make Boys Don't Cry 2: Yes Boys Do In Fact Cry Sometimes, instead of attempting the impossible? Brian DePalma's Carrie is one of the few perfect things in the world - it stands alongside striped socks and Reese's Peanut Butter Eggs in the pantheon of greatness.


And then there's more: Pierce has apparently approached Jodie Foster and/or Julianne Moore to play Margaret White. WTF! I need to go smoke a pack of cigarettes, and weed, and angel dust.

I Am Link

--- Always Repays His Debts - A Game of Thrones starts next weekend! A Game of Thrones starts next weekend! I've been distracted by my Hunger Games mania, but this is just as cool. I still won't be seeing the show til the following Monday per my usual day-long delay, so don't expect me to write anything on time. Don't go holding your breath is what I'm telling you! Because you would naturally, otherwise. Anyway my pal Sean has rounded up a whole bunch of cool news bits about the show over here, go forth and gather. You should also be reading his ASOIAF-devoted blog too, but only if you've read all the books since there be spoilers there.

--- Golden Games - I know I always downplay box office, especially when it's something I like that's doing lousy - which is the way it normally happens - but the news that The Hunger Games is expected to be financially massive this weekend is making me very happy. Mostly because they can then throw tons and tons of money at the sequels. And afford Chris Hemsworth for Finnick. Ahh my motives become clear! Come on, Chris Hemsworth in a fishnet leotard? Who doesn't want to see that?

--- Lizards In Lust - I couldn't resist this take on fish-rapist classic Humanoids From the Deep over at AICN - I just wrote up a brief couple of thoughts on that sleazy beast back in August. It is such utter, yet entertaining, trash.

--- Summer Thirteen - DH rounded up a couple of release dates for movies of the future we will want to see - Guillermo Del Toros Pacific Rim, with Charlies Hunnam and Day and Idris Elba (a fuckable from start to finish cast if ever there was one), will be out on July 12th, 2013. That's actually a delay of a couple of months.But I know what I'm doing for my birthday weekend in fifteen months now! And also, the sequel to the leather-diaper fetish-film 300 is coming out on August 2nd, 2013. Next Summer's already full up.

--- Hedwig's Nightmare - This post is just one of the myriad reasons why I adore Glenn - he's been watching the old 80s Krueger spin-off series Freddy's Nightmares, and discovered an episode that starred who else but... John Cameron Mitchell? 

--- Down River - Netflix might be scooping up ABC's The River, which I only made it three episodes into before deciding it was either I threw my TV set out the window or I stopped watching its inanity. I guess I wasn't alone since its rating crumbled week to week, hence it maybe now moving to Netflix, just like its counterpart in inexplicable crapitude Terra Nova. Again i say, why Thomas Krestchmann? Why???

Dancy With The Devil

.

Deadline's reporting that Hugh Dancy my beloved Hugh Dancy is going to star as Will Graham, aka the guy who will hunt Hannibal Lecter down, in Bryan Fuller's show about just that on NBC, called Hannibal. Can you say AWESOME? I mean that, can you say "awesome" for me, I have swooned and am totally unconscious.

For serious though, I've read the script for this show's pilot and it's so so so good you guys, so scary and filled with deliciousness, and Hugh is a terrific choice for the immensely complicated character that is Will. This is going to rule so very hard I can't even take it.

I think we ought to take this death scene of Thomas Kretschmann's as symbolic of his recent career - so that would mean his killer Kip Pardue is playing the role of his agent. Sigh. Why can't you be all I want you to be, Thomas?

This is definitely an instance of "Make love, not war!" though - nothing against this scene, which was one of the few times I perked up during this generally tepid straight-to-DVD sequel (Murder by cockroaches? Really?), but I'd much rather have seen Thomas and Kip finding other ways to penetrate each other.


That shot of the car rocking back and forth 
could have been so much more. So much.
