Bean It

Yesterday we reported that James Ransone had joined the cast of It's second chapter and then within a couple of hours there was even more news on the grown-ups front - the actor Andy Bean will play the grown-up Stan. Without being spoilery the last time we saw the character of Stan he was not too happy, so expect Andy here to have to tap into being troubled. 

I didn't recognize Andy Bean's name when I read this news which makes sense since looking him up I haven't seen him in anything but he was one of the actors on Alan Ball's show Here and Now (which only lasted the one season but gifted us with so much in its short lifespan) - Andy was the big bearded gay one...

I have really got to watch this show, haven't I?

There's a line in Inglourious Basterds where Brad Pitt says:

"We're gonna be doin' one thing 
and one thing only... killin' Nazis."

And I don't know about you guys but I feel like killin' 
some motherfucking Nazis today. 
So let's do just that after the jump...















Well that sure felt good!

Slash My Gay Stuff To Ribbons

When introducing the trailer for the new french art-slasher Knife + Heart over at Vulture today our pal Kyle asked the question "Have you ever imagined what it might be like if Pedro Almodóvar directed a retro slasher film with a ton of queer content and some seriously wonderful costumes" and I think he was being rhetorical... but I totally have imagined that. Many times!
.
.
Anyway it's one of those semi-awkward moments when your porn invades your non-porn life -- Pierre Emö, the nicely-mustached fellow seen above, is featured in the trailer and you might recognize him from Bruce La Bruce's most recent X-rated project (in collaboration with CockyBoys) called It is Not the Pornographer That is Perverse... or maybe you just follow Pierre on his Instagram already (lord knows I did) - either way he's just one of the pretty young things whose futures don't look so bright in the trailer for this movie, which I will share with you now.
.
.
I wonder how far this movie's going to go, what with having actors with legit porn on their resumes... the film is premiering at Cannes today so I guess we'll hear soon. It was directed by Yann Gonzalez and stars Vanessa Paradis, all of which you know if you just watched that trailer. Anyway I don't think I've seen anything so in my wheelhouse... since earlier today when I posted about that Shirley Jackson movie at least! This is quite the day, you guys.

Sir Laurence Olivier begins the 1941 Powell & Pressburger film 49th Parallel with a great big bushy beard but it doesn't take long for it to get good and whacked and out the other end this beauty emerges. Looking at that gif reminds me how I tend to under-value the cinematic worth of Larry on-screen too often - he could be stuffy so it's always welcome when he let his hair down just a bit...

Since the Deadpool sequel is out today and giving us more super-buff CG Josh Brolin sexuality (following his purple turn as Thanos, destroyer of worlds, in the Avengers sequel), I figured it's as excellent a time as any, even excellenter, to look back at his expensively obscured bits in the Sin City sequel from 2014. They worked so hard to keep his dick away from us! Dicks are so scary, aren't they? Run away from dicks! Run right after the jump for no dicks, no dicks at all...

I still haven't read the David Sheff book on which the film is based but I was led to believe that Timmy's role in Beautiful Boy would be gunning for the Best Supporting Actor conversation when those Oscar conversations start up again (ha "start up" as if this isn't already proof that they never stop) and yet this hint of a trailer is like The Timmy Timmy and More Timmy Show. I suppose they know he's got the heat these days, and this is just the briefest of teasers besides - I'm sure we'll see more of Steve Carell, who plays Timmy's father who deals with his son's drug addiction, in later versions. The film isn't out until October. Watch!

Jeez it's nice to see that face again.
ETA oh wait there's a second teaser...

And that one's got a little more of Steve in it.

I'm sure this weapon-stuffed photo-shoot of Steve dates back to his Walking Dead days but wielding deadly hammers is my mood this week so we're really feeling the pictures right now - plus he's getting career-best notices out of Cannes right now for Lee Chang-dong's film Burning, which is being praised by many as the best among the fest's very good round of movies this year. Hooray for Steven! I hope you're watching this, Melissa McBride! You deserve better reviews too! Hit the jump for the rest...

Not sure where this shoot originated but somebody shot the four big names in the Assassination of Gianni Versace cast wearing basically the same outfit - you can see Ricky Martin and Penelope Cruz at this link - and so I figured twas poll time. (Also making Darren Criss look even smaller than he actually is, given the framing of those two pictures, makes me chuckle. Bonus!)
.

Still no word on when this, the best series of 2018 so far, is hitting blu-ray but you can stream the entire thing on Amazon if you need to. I recommend it highly. And not just for all of the prurient reasons we covered as it aired, but they don't hurt. I genuinely thought the show was a tremendous achievement, for real. Anyway in related news there were a couple of nice photo-shoots of Ricky Martin recently that I might as well share now too (thanks Mac) along with a couple bonuses added in for, you know, bonus, after the jump...

What are we all planning on seeing this weekend? I have an early maybe screening tonight that I am not mentioning by name lest I jinx it, wish me luck, but other than that I'm not sure - will I see Deadpool 2? I haven't bought tickets yet which is not a good sign. I'm feeling like I might just wait a bit, catch it in a couple of weeks. I liked the original fine although it was seriously over-praised in some quarters. But it's more likely this weekend that I'll find the time to see one of the Charles Farrell films that MoMA is screening (I told you about that series previously right here.) Anyway if y'all see Deadpool or anything else hit up the comments and tell me all about it and now I am off to my mystery maybe screening...

Wilson's Eye is on Charlie's Cox

This is last week's news but nobody's ever accused us of being on top of things (minds out of the gutter, people!) -- I don't think this has been confirmed by anybody but on Wednesday DH reported that word was going around that Wilson Bethel's character on Daredevil will end up being the villain Bullseye. You know, the dude that Colin Farrell shaved his head to play in the terrible movie with Ben Affleck. It'd make sense that the show finally gets around to Bullseye, him being one of the hero's most vital villains and all. 

The reason they're not sure is his character has previously been reported to be an FBI agent named Steve and none of those things have anything to do with Bullseye as he's been previously imagined. But hey we're all grown=ups here - things can be changed! It isn't actually illegal. Anyway I barely made it through The Defenders and I haven't watched any of Iron Fist or the second season of Jessica Jones yet so what do I know? Besides the fact that if Charlie Cox is put in something I will always make the time and if he's not I might not, I mean. 

Daredevil is shooting here in NYC right now; I keep seeing shooting location alerts on Twitter. And the second season of Luke Cage's hits Netflix on June 22nd, so I guess I should get around to catching up on Jessica Jones before that. But I don't have to watch Iron Fist, right? Please don't make me. 

If you're not familiar with Wilson Bethel he's been bouncing around several TV shows for a few years - most people first took notice of him on the show Hart of Dixie because he took his clothes off a bunch. Since then he's done The Astronaut's Wives Club and How To Get Away With Murder and such. We posted about him when he almost got the role that ultimately went to Jai Courtney in the last failed Terminator movie - we also posted this lovely bunch of pictures of him I recommend giving a look-through.

The Mysterious Marvel Man Named Jake

A dozen years ago there was a very serious rumor that Jake Gyllenhaal was set to replace Tobey Maguire in Sam Raimi's Spider-man series - Tobey has injured his back and or maybe didn't want to do them anymore and or was holding out for more money, who knows, but the studio floated the idea of replacing him with Jake (who was at the time dating Miss Mary Jane herself Kristen Dunst) and... then Spider-man 3 happened. 

Cut to 2018 and Variety is reporting this morning (thanks Mac) that Jake is finally joining Spider-man! Only he's old now, so he's playing a bad guy. Which bad guy? At first I wasn't sure (Variety didn't say) but Deadline is reporting on their own that it's Mysterio, which is EXACTLY the villain I would've picked for Jake. Mysterio, as with all comic book characters, has a tangled history (here's his Wiki) but his basic gist is he's (usually) a former Hollywood stuntman who's real good at creating illusions. Basically he's a magician type. It'll probably be akin to some Doctor Strange stuff. With bulge.

Anyway Michael Keaton is also set to reprise his Vulture from Homecoming again - I hope they don't go over-stuffing the movie. Oh and in case you were wondering, given recent cinematic events, they also confirm (again) that Tom Holland is playing Peter Parker again. Mmmhmm. But there's also a really weird and unclear paragraph in Variety's piece that confuses things a little bit: 

"Plot details are still unknown at this time, but sources say Marvel and Sony, who will co-produce the film, were looking to cast a new male and female lead, with the desire for the male lead to be played by an A-list actor. Actresses for the female role, which is expected to be someone in her 20s, are currently being auditioned by execs."

What the hell does that mean? Why would the movie need a brand new A-list leading man and lady? I certainly can't sort it out. Any idea what they're on about?

Sliver (1993)
Carly: You've been spending too
much time with your vibrator.
Judy: I certainly have - I've been
getting a plastic yeast infection!

Phillip Noyce's anti-erotic thrill-ride Sliver came out 25 years ago today! Sharon Stone was hot hot hot thanks to Paul Verhoeven's trash-masterpiece Basic Instinct coming out the previous year and showing us Sharon's all, so to speak, and this movie showed us what would happen if you put two stars who hated each other's fucking guts into the same sort of trashy movie but not directed by Paul Verhoeven. It didn't work!

That said Billy Baldwin is at peak hotness in this movie so I've always had a soft spot for it. (Although perhaps "soft" isn't the right word.) And, as I've spoken of before, the movie's weirdly knotted up with my birth as a cinemaniac. So basically this marks 25 years I've been a psycho movie buff, too. Let's all throw ourselves into a volcano...

Tomorrow marks the 20th anniversary of The Opposite of Sex if you can believe it - I didn't really need to feel that old on a Monday but here we are. Anyway for its anniversary let's all head on over to The Film Experience and rip our hearts out of our chests and stomp them into bits as I force us to choose between the film's two hysterically caustic leading ladies, played to perfection by Lisa Kudrow and Christina Ricci. Imagine a world without those two, and then sigh a sigh of deep relief that instead we've had twenty years of the opposite of that. All that plus Ivan Sergei's chest...

Although this news doesn't have anything to do with Viggo Mortensen save one tenuous link I'm illustrating it with Viggo because who doesn't want to look at Viggo? Nobody, that's who. Anyway the tenuous link is that Viggo played Sigmund Freud in David Cronenberg's 2011 film A Dangerous Method, you might recall, and over the weekend at Cannes it was revealed that Todd Haynes is going to make his next project a television miniseries about Freud and all his nutty dream shit. The series will be for Amazon, who also financed his most recent film Wonderstruck. This is all rather early so no word on who's gonna play Sigmund or anything but if I had to guess I would say, "Not Viggo Mortensen." Here's a picture of Young Freud; why don't y'all make casting suggestions in the comments...

Today is officially the 20th anniversary of Don Roos' forever funny The Opposite of Sex so I figured sure, there's our excuse to post repeatedly about it. Yesterday's "Beauty vs Beast" poll was already in honor of the film but hey you can go vote all week, once a day, so you should do that. And I hardly got to mention Ivan Sergei at all so here's our chance to do that. Ivan hasn't stopped working in the twenty years since this movie but scanning through what he's worked on I'm kind of sure I haven't seen any of it. What do you think of when you think of him? Besides this scene, I mean.
