Hey Movie Lovers

Documentarian Mark Cousins' 15-part doc called The Story of Film, made across a decade starting in 2011 and telling (you guessed it) the story of film, has been on my watch-list for awhile now. And hey whaddya know thankfully I'm in luck -- Music Box Films put the whole shebang out onto blu-ray just yesterday! You can buy it right here (although they're temporarily out of stock as of this exact minute) -- the trailer is down below. Has anybody seen these? I have only heard great things; I'm thinking I might binge it over the holiday weekend. What else am I gonna do? Move off the couch? Pshaw.

Elordi's So Easy To Fall in Love

As teased so teasefully on Monday the first teaser trailer for Saltburn, Promising Young Woman director Emerald Fennell's movie starring Barry Keoghan as a boy who becomes obsessed with Jacob Elordi (as one does), has arrived! And damn this shit looks sexy. Not just sexy -- there are some stunners of some shots up in here...

... which makes total sense since Linus Sandgren, the DP behind several Damien Chazelle and David O. Russell movies, shot it. (It's really reminding me of Babylon visually.) Anyway put this movie inside of me et cetera et cetera. Here's the trailer:

Saltburn hits theaters at Thanksgiving. What do we think?

ETA and oh goodness, look at the posters y'all:

The Inspection (2022)

Rosales: If we got rid of every gay person
in the military, there would be no military.

A happy 46 to the great Raúl Castillo today! Have y'all seen The Inspection yet? It really got lost in awards season last year but I thought it very fine -- click here to read my review from when it screened at NYFF. It deserved more attention. It deserved to be lavished with attention just the way that Jonathan Groff lavished Raúl's chest hair with attention on Looking dammit...

That there is a photo of Daniel Radcliffe acting out this morning's mood for me -- he was kind enough to oblige when I asked. A good egg, that dude! And an excellent actor, as he perfectly captured every nuance. Anyway let's get this fucking day over with -- I got a four-day weekend to sleep through.

Josh O'Connor Ten Times

More of that Josh O'Connor promotional tour for a movie that doesn't exist (at least not quite yet) have hit today, as a new spread and interview for GQ arrives that has him doing all these tennisy things  even though his tennis threesome movie Challengers from Luca Guadagnino got cruelly shoved to 2024 due to the ongoing strikes. There are all sorts of reasons to be furious at the studios for the way they're behaving but this one should make us all the angriest! Thankfully photographs of Josh O'Connor in shorts are here to sooth our souls temporarily. Hit the jumpand sooth your everythings...

Beau: I accidentally drank mouthwash Friday night. 
You can't get stomach cancer that way? 
Therapist: Not from one time.
Beau: I drank a mouthful a couple of weeks ago too.
Therapist: I'm sure it's fine.

A happy 74th birthday to Stephen McKinley Henderson today! I had to look him up on Wikipedia to make sure that he hasn't been hiding in plain sight all along and it was me being a fool for not having taken notice of him before Lady Bird in 2017 -- it seems as if he started getting attention for doing a couple of August Wilson plays on Broadway over the past two decades. So it makes sense that I've only been familiar with him for a few years now, then. 

Anyway it's been a pleasure, over the past six years, every time he's popped up in anything. And nowhere more than his turn in Ari Aster's latest film (reviewed here) -- since that movie's such a ride I can't really talk about my favorite parts of his performance without spoiling it and I'm not at all convinced that all of you have seen it yet; just know that SMH is very very very funny in it, and I hope he keeps getting these chances like that to shine. Happy birthday to him!

Back To Boyd

Lots of Boyd Holbrook popping up this week unexpectedly -- I re-watched both Gone Girl and Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny over the past two nights (I'd totally forgotten he was in Gone Girl at all) -- and along with the fact that it's his birthday tomorrow, well why not let him have tops-of-the-blog honors before I head off for a long weekend? And somehow these two vintage photos of Boyd from his pre-acting modeling days didn't make it into the enormous gratuitous post I did of him back in 2015. (I go back to that post so often -- it soothes me.) Anyway yup, it's a four day weekend. I am off until Tuesday and there are zero movies out this weekend worth talking about so I got nothing to recommend. I'm going to spend it catching up on the quite terrifyingly large piles of blu-rays I have been buying, and going to see a couple of movies at the "Bigger & Louder" series at the Paris here in NYC, which just revamped their system. I am seeing Playtime in 70mm tomorrow, holy shit! Anyway this weekend is just the quiet before the storm of fall movie releases -- NYFF will be swallowing me up by the end of September -- so I'm going to enjoy this breath whilst I can take it. Y'all have a good one and see you in September! (And as always if you see something good, say something in the comments.)

Jackie: Yes. All those things are true.

Shame how wasted he was in The Flash.

That Thing Johnathon Does

I have two reasons for writing this post. The first reason is I was looking for an excuse to post the above recent photo of noted hunk Johnathon Schaech, and writing this post gave me that excuse. And the second reason is that, as I stated in my previous post, I'm out of sorts today and I'm just trying to get my fingers tap-tap-tapping on the keyboard to get myself into practice -- I have a lot of shit to do this week and my foggy brain ain't helping anything. Now neither of those reasons are what this post is actually technically about, you see...

... what this post is actually technically about is that the soundtrack to the beloved 1996 musical That Thing You Do!, written and directed by Tom Hanks and starring Mr. Schaech alongside Tom Everett Scott, Steve Zahn, and Ethan Embry as a 1960s boy band, is being put out onto vinyl this week for the very first time! It's coming from Mondo and it goes on sale on Wednesday, click here for all the assorted sordid information. Now here's the kicker -- I have never seen this movie. Isn't that crazy? I should fix that, right? I think at the time I had little interest in Schaech all cleaned up and bubblegum -- I was deep in my Xavier Red fantasies. Looking back now... I was a fool to limit my options. Every flavor of Schaech is welcome.

Not sure at what point I give actor Nico Greetham his own tag here on the site -- this is out third post on him (see the other two here) but I still would like to, you know, actually see him act in something before I go all in, tag-wise. But if the boy keeps taking...

... these kinds of photoshoots I will be helpless. Helpless! Call a doctor, I'm helpless. Anyway these are for something called Offline magazine (via) and there are more worth a look after the jump...

Michael Fassbender Ball Play

A brand new clip from Taika Waititi's long long long delayed soccer comedy Next Goal Wins has arrived today, because believe it or not this movie is actually really probably maybe coming out! They are saying November 17th. Here is the trailer for the movie, which we shared back in April -- if your memory has turned to dust in the time it's taken for this movie to get anywhere near release it stars Michael Fassbender in a feel-good true-story about a disgraced soccer coach who heads to American Samoa to teach a ragtag bunch of losers how to be, you guessed it, winners. I don't think I have ever seen a movie with this storyline before? So novel! Watch the clip:

Dino Fetscher Five Times

I didn't know that )openly gay) actor Dino Fetscher was on Foundation? Granted I still don't watch Foundation but I wish I'd known that Dino Fetscher and (openly gay) Lee Pace were swanning around on the same set. To anybody who does watch -- do they have scenes together? I won't ask if they have SCENES together because if that were occurring I would have heard; I'm not that far gone. Anyway yes Dino. Dino, Dino, Dino. He's in the new issue of Attitude magazine and he's looking very hot per usual and I have the photos. He also, in his interview, says some necessary stuff about queer kids needing to see queer characters played by queer actors, which I appreciated. Anyway hit the jump for the pictures...
