Running woefully behind this Monday morning so here's quick photo of Jon Kortajarena in the bath to express how I wish I felt this morning, in hopes some of this calming, sexy energy can transfer through our computer screens into our existence. Be the photo of Jon Kortajarena in the bathtub, Jason... be it!

The Variety cover (via) for Pedro Pascal and Steven Yeun's chat in their "Actors on Actors" series is taunting us all! I feel taunted! If their video (which hasn't been released yet) doesn't end with even a little bit of light kissing I will start the second Stonewall riot, I swear it. Don't fuck with me this Pride season, fellas!

Happy Belated 18 to MNPP!

Shame on me -- I missed the favorite birthday of perverts who count down to teenagers becoming legal sexual objects! This here website celebrated its 18th birthday this past Friday -- I started with this nonsense on June 2nd 2005, if you can believe it. I kind of can't believe it. Some of you were maybe not even born when I started this? Good grief. The site is so old-school and out-of-date at this point I think we have maybe swung around to being retro now? I mean I don't really care -- I only think of this as a space to write, and writing here's remained easy even as the technology has far, far, far out-paced my delivery of it. I've sometimes thought about updating things, but that's energy I've preferred channeling elsewhere. Like... into sleep. And not doing that. Important things! 

Anyway my point is even if this place is a time-machine to Internet Past I'm glad y'all still come here and spend some of your days with my nonsense. It's truly been my pleasure. And even though I get paid actual money now (Imagine!) to write on other, fancier websites, MNPP's not going anywhere, so don't worry. Or, alternately, cram that pin into your voodoo doll of me a little harder! Cuz I'm unstoppable, baby! That said I will do as I do on our every anniversary and pass around the donation tin via this PayPal link. (It's also over there in the right hand-column, always, every single day.) If you appreciate what I do here why not toss me a wooden nickel or a wad of chewed gum or whatever lint is in your pocket? I cherish every drop! Thanks for coming back, everybody.

Can't say that I expected a shirtless gym selfie from Japanese actor Tadanobu Asano to pop up in my Instagram timeline yesterday but wowee wow wow am I glad to be proven a dope. If you're trying to place him Asano has made plenty of U.S. movies over the years -- he was in the first three Thor movies -- but he'll always be Ichi the Killer (the titular maniac of Takashi Miike's 2001 splatter-piece) to me. Anyway he usually just posts his art (which I actually really like!) on his Insta, so this was a surprise treat.

May (2002)

May
: So many pretty parts and no pretty wholes.

Although I labeled May as a 2002 movie above, this Lucky McKee horror classic didn't actually hit movie theaters until 2003 -- June 6th 2003 to be precise, making today its 20th anniversary! Happy 20, May! And coincidentally (or maybe not, I had nothing to do with its making) Second Sight, the UK boutique blu-ray distributor, just announced they are finally, FINALLY, putting May onto blu-ray -- this movie has been out of print for ages and I have bitched about that fact for ages, so this news was met with a whoop-whoop and an immediate pre-order from me. The set is out on July 24th and it looks as spectacular as the perfect movie deserves! Hopefully it can enter the canon proper-like now. Angela Bettis is an icon!



Chris Hemsworth Eight Times

Chris Hemsworth is on the cover of this months' issue of British GQ looking, you know, like Chris Hemsworth. Handsome and shit. Whatever. He thinks he's all that! A gorgeous funny movie star with a god-like physique. Well I write on the internet -- take that! Ahem. Sorry, not sure what came over me. Anyway -- Chris Hemsworth. He made another Extraction movie for some reason (that reason is money) and he's on the cover of magazines for it. I haven't read the interview in this GQ yet (read it here) but apparently he talks some about an actually interesting movie he's making...

... which would be Furiosa, the Mad Max Fury Road prequel with George Miller and Anya Taylor-Joy. And listen -- I know it's exceptional foolishness to ever doubt George Miller, but... how do you even come close to topping Fury Road? The greatest action movie of the past... well at least of this century, but sometimes I think we should just go ahead and call it the greatest action movie ever made. I worry Furiosa can't help but feel lesser? Well even a little lesser it will still kick ass I suppose, so whatever, I can't wait. Hit the jump for all the new Chris photos...





And bonus -- even though it's lesser quality since it's off an Insta-story here is a slightly fuller version of one of the above photos:

That there is our first look at Charlie Hunnam in Zack Snyder's upcoming Netflix movie Rebel Moon, via Vanity Fair who have a big piece on it today -- below you'll see Chuck alongside his co-stars Michiel Huisman and Sofia Boutella. Apparently this started off as a Star Wars spin-off but became its own thing and... uhh yeah, we can tell. Anyway Rebel Moon comes out right before Christmas and I'd like for it to be good, since Charlie (and us fans of Charlie) could really use something good on his resume right about now!

I can't recall if I have mentioned this here on the site proper or not but I've got an ongoing thread on Twitter (right here) dedicated to this year's big trend in celebrity male photography -- pits, baby. I started it in February when it was already clearly a trend -- Paul Mescal is our poster boy -- and the trend's proven true! (And I had to laugh when "male celebrity armpits" was an actual literal plot of an episode of HBO's The Other Two, aka the gayest show on TV).

Anyway as you can see above this week our boy Russell Tovey decided to enter the convo with his new photoshoot for Super Magazine (via) and all I have to say is All Hail The Year Of The Man Pit!!! Hit the jump for the rest of the shoot (no more pits, but plenty of up-skirt, aka this year's other hot trend)...

There are several more images of this Flaunt photoshoot over there -- I'm not really into it, except for these three. They can make this man look better dammit. Anyway I saw this pop up today and I was like, "Why the hell is he doing press?" Having no idea he was in the new Transformers movie, of course. Because I gave up on those movies by... the second one, I think? The first two made me want to strangle myself to death with razor wire, so it seemed best for all of us involved I move it along. But congrats on getting paid, Anthony!

Tis Tribeca Time

I suppose since I am having trouble focusing today -- what with the apocalypse and all -- I should go ahead and take an easy minute laying out a quick reminder that the Tribeca Film Festival officially kicks off today! I will be reviewing several movies from the fest for Pajiba (and possibly elsewhere) so stay tuned for that -- indeed I will be cramming about two dozen movies over the next week, so you should really just prepare yourselves for me not posting a lot here, except reviews and links to said reviews, during this time. I will actually be in screenings for almost all of tomorrow and Friday (sidenote: one of them is called Downtown Owl and it co-stars the gorgeous Henry Golding, hence the use of him for this post) and so I mean it, and I mean it immediately, when I say I won't be posting a lot. Keep track of me on my socials, as the kids say! And let's go watch some movies, and not die, from the apocalypse!

Happy Monday from the ever resplendent Travis Van Winkle, seen here covering the new issue of Man About Town magazine (via) -- future co-star of Jake Gyllenhaal in the Road House remake, and former "dude who jerked off in front of Penn Badgley," I did a search through our archives upon realizing that Mr. Van Winkle didn't have a tag here on the site only to realize that I've been posting about him for a full fifteen years ever since he got cast in the (terrible) Friday the 13th reboot and I should probably give the pretty boy a tag already. And so we did! But you should probably hit the jump for the rest of this photoshoot which inspired that first...

One week ago I shared with you the first image of Pedro Pascal and Steven Yeun for Variety's "Actors on Actors" series -- well the entire piece is now online and that there image above is even more of a taunt! I haven't been able to read it yet -- today is turning out to be an exceptionally busy day! -- but perhaps you'll want to spend your lunch break relaxing in those boys' laps. I wouldn't blame ya!

Tom: Actually, there's one theory that the
environmental movement of our day was sparked
by the rerelease of Bambi in the late 1950s.

I am kind of shocked to realize that today (for its 25th anniversary) is the first time I have ever done one of these posts for this movie here on the site -- looking through quotes from it it's pretty much nothing but important life lessons from start to finish. And yet I picked one of the most absurd quotes -- I mean they're all absurd, but this one of of context is more than many. Anyway I re-watched this movie last year and it was even better than I remembered it -- I did a small Twitter thread (linked below) which I highly recommend. I'm very much a Whit Stillman fan but I think this movie has become my favorite -- that said once I go re-watch Metropolitan I'll say the same about it. That's just the way his work rolls. Each one infects you on contact. If you don't have the Criterion trilogy boxed-set I highly recommend it, as an object of witticism within which to luxuriate one's self. (I phrased it that way because it would make all of his hypocritical characters burst into hives.)
