What movie is this?

Good Morning, World

A happy 42nd birthday to obscenely pretty actor Robert Ri'chard from Coach Carter and the tee-riffic House of Wax remake (yes the one with Paris Hilton -- shut up, it's good!) plus a few episodes of Veronica Mars and then basically a lot of single episodes of many, many shows that you know. We have mentioned Robert here on the site before since you might recall he was the lead in that Magic Mike rip-off Chocolate City that came out in 2015 -- actually I wouldn't blame you if you didn't remember that, it was a pretty forgettable movie. But it gave me a good post full of good gifs at least! I recommend you also check out RR's Instagram account -- he isn't afraid to still bring the gratuity. 

Aaron Pierre Five Times

Oh looky it's another photoshoot that dropped over the holiday break that I haven't gotten around to posting! The ridiculously stunning Aaron Pierre, star of Jeremy Saulnier's highly entertaining Rebel Ridge and Barry Jenkins' masterpiece The Underground Railroad, was photographed and interviewed in Interview Magazine -- read the interview part here. In my belated defense the photos -- save the one above (swoon) -- are kind of boring, or as boring as looking at Aaron Pierre can be (so... not much) and so I wasn't in the biggest rush with them. But today I was ogling that shot above (swoon times two) and decided that the time has arrived! Hit the jump for everything...

Garfield's Great Big Globes

Not to overdo it with Andrew Garfield this week (much to my hater boyfriend's chagrin no doubt -- although he did give Andy a compliment last night saying that "the beard makes his face less disgusting" lol; unlike me he's not a fan!) but I loved the green Versace suit he wore to the Globes. And our boy knew he looked good and he was slutting it up like nobody's business...

... with all the extra cleavage emphasis. So we're giving him this little spotlight, our boyfriend be damned! I'm actually really posting now because I forgot to mention the Globes at all in this morning's Andy post, even though I watched the whole damned thing -- did anybody else watch? Winner of the night to my eye was Demi for that truly lovely speech she gave. And our beloved Tadanobu Asano of course!

But Tadanobu always wins, just by being Tadanobu. But I am curious what y'all thought of the show, the winners, the fashion. So if you have any thoughts please toss them my way in the comments. And in return I have an entire gallery of Andy being the bearded belle of the ball (with a couple of bonus guests!) after the jump...

Good Morning, World

Andrew Garfield's photos for W Magazine's annual "Performances of the Year" issue  dropped on Saturday morning right after I posted 1) his other photoshoot for GQ and 2) several of the other actors in W Magazine, so bad timing (i.e. me never posting on weekends) leads to me sharing these photos now. Weirdly W dropped all of the hottest photos on Saturday...

Oh okay they just saved all the slutty men photos for today! #blessings

... which is an odd time for photoshoots to drop? I'm really hoping more photos from that Josh O'Connor spread (emphasis on spread) pop up because good goddamn that's a sexy photo. Anyway hello, happy Monday. I've got a few big things going on this week (prepping for Sundance and I am flying to L.A. this upcoming weekend to attend the Critics Choice Awards in person, holy shit!) but I'll be here, posting per usual, too. So grab onto Andy's big beefy biceps and let's get moving...

Farewell To This Short Week

Having a brief two day interlude to ease me back into the sport of desk-sitting has been nice, but I need a damn break -- so a big howdy and an even bigger hello to the weekend! I'd say I did perfectly adequate within this little window of time, posting-wise, so do scroll on down and see the fruits of my labors in the span of these exhausting forty-eight hours. Or just ignore me and stare at this new GQ photoshoot of Andrew Garfield after the jump....

Today's Fanboy Delusion

 Today I'd rather be...

... man-spreading with Paul Mescal.

I've pointed out before that W Magazine seems to alternate their "Performances of the Year" photoshoots by the year between classy boring images and then really psychotic garbage -- well we're in a classy year as the above photo of Paul proves... not that he isn't giving me dirty thoughts all the same. Such is his power! I do find it weird that all of the men are over-dressed in full suits while 95% of the women are in their underwear though. And this is coming from a gay photographer! WTF Judas. Anyway a good place to find links to all their shoots for this issue is this link via their Instagram -- I gathered up the classy ass images of Paul, Daniel Craig, and Colman Domingo though, as those ones naturally interested me the most. So hit the jump for those...

Robert Pattinson Eleven Times

Old photos, practically ancient -- all the way back to the start of December! A month ago! But somehow I totally 100% missed this profile of Robert Pattinson in the New York Times Style Magazine -- but since our Bat-boy is wearing leather pants no matter how many of you have already caressed these photos with your eyeballs they gotta get themselves posted. I imagine this slab o' press was pre-scheduled for when Rob's movie with Bong Joon-ho Mickey17 was meant to come out in January, but then the damned movie moved on the calendar yet again -- now it's coming out in March. Or so they say! They keep Lucy-with-the-football'ing it down the road. Well if the studio has to be a dick about it at least we've got these photos to comfort (and re-comfort) ourselves. Hit the jump for them all...

Good Morning, Jack & Friends

Actor Jack O'Connell seems to be one of those actors who has it written into his contract that he has to get naked in everything he does -- that, plus his acting talent, are why we love him! The latest round of the laddy's exhibitionism's taken place on his BBC series Rogue Heroes (from writer Steven Knight, the same man who gave us Tom Hardy naked in Taboo and Viggo Mortensen naked in Eastern Promises - never forget!) and it's not just Jack -- it's an entire pack of (to namecheck yet another Knight opus) Dirty Pretty Things in their altogethers. I made my gifs focus in on Jack mainly so go watch the show if you want the full widescreen spectacle -- but for now hit the jump for a dozen more of said gifs... 

You Know I Love Surprises!

The lovely folks over at Vinegar Syndrome have been making this transition towards the 2025 hellscape land softer than it ought to thanks to their dropping OF some truly substantial physical medias upon us -- last month they brought us the forever unreleased Diane Keaton. masterpiece Looking For Mr Goodbar in 4K, and this month they're gifting us with Gregg Araki's stoner comedy Smiley Face starring Anna Faris! If you've been around here at MNPP HQ for awhile then surely you've heard me going off about my love for this movie more than once -- I'm not a "Stoner Comedy" person in the slightest but I adore this one and the shitty DVD has been out-of-print for ages. Pre-order it at this link! It's the little things that will hopefully get us through these difficult times and if I have to devour an entire plate of pot cupcakes to do it then so be it.  

Seb Sees Rainbows

I don't know what's more exciting -- the news I'm about to share or the fact that Sebastian Stan finally cut his hair off! (I am of the mind that he looks much hotter with shorter hair.) Let's tell the news and then you can decide for yourselves -- Sebastian is going to star in the new movie from Snowtown / Macbeth / True History of the Kelly Gang director Justin Kurzel! (And I know Kurzel is married to the great Essie Davis but the man has a very bisexual eye when it comes to making his leading men look sizzling hot.) Based on the true story told in the book called Burning Rainbow Farm (and that will be the film's title) it tells the tale of two gay men...

... named Tom Crosslin and Rollie Rohm who built a hippie stoner utopia in Mighigan, only to go to war with the government over it. I guess it was a big story that got obscured by 9/11 but I have never heard about it -- have you? Anyway Gay Sebastian! Who do we think will play his boyfriend? I'm not sure who's who in that picture above but I have to assume Seb will be the stoner on the right. Oh and further Seb news -- in that same link he says he's also going to star in the next movies from Romanian master Cristian Mungiu (probably best known for the movie 4 Months, 3 Weeks and 2 Days but I love love loved his last film R.M.N.) as well as Danish superstar Christian Tafdrup (who made the original Speak No Evil). The man has taste!

Blond Dirtbag Josh Hartnett Continued

A few weeks ago I shared a couple of photos with you of Blond Dirtbag Josh Hartnett in the forthcoming action film Fight or Flight -- well now there's a trailer! I am going to send you over to Pajiba to watch it since they're the ones who alerted me to this news. They also say we don't have a release date for this yet -- BOO! Get on Blond Dirtbag Josh Hartnett, U.S. Studios! Or I will do it for you! (Okay let me do it for you. I want to do it for you.)

Today's Mood

Thank you for summing it up, Jim Cummings.

Robert Eggers' "Fresh Hell"

Oh! One other cool thing happened over the holiday that I'd totally forgotten -- it happened after all on the 23rd, right at the start of my time off, so I can be excused. And yes this is some self-love (nee obsession) but so be it -- I got quoted in a Nosferatu trailer! It's a millisecond quote in a Facebook trailer but whatever -- and I know some people think it's gauche to care about blurb-whoring but I hope I never lose this thrill I feel about it. It always makes me feel like I'm patting Lil' Me on the head and saying, "Hey kid, you obsession with movies in place of 'having friends' will one day reap some okay benefits." And I never write my reviews -- read my Nosferatu review here -- with blurbs in mind, peppering adjectives about like M&Ms for the P.R. E.T.s to follow. I am always shocked when they're able to pull something from my rambling twaddle. But I really wanted to get into a Nosferatu trailer since it's my beloved Robert Eggers and I loved this movie so much. This one made me super giddy. Here's the clip (forewarning it's terrible quality since I had to record it off of Facebook):

The Year In Queer

I did very little work over my break -- we're talking very, very little -- but I did accomplish one thing of which I am very proud! Click on over to Pajiba to read my list of The 10 Hottest Queerest Scenes in 2024's Movies. I got to go deep -- well ankle-deep anyway, as they're blurbs -- on some moments in my favorite movies of the year that I haven't heard much discussion of. I was especially happy how I managed to get the year's most hetero movie Babygirl onto the list!
