What movie is this?

Good Morning, World
I cannot believe that Men's Health has been sitting on yet ANOTHER photo of Charles Melton and his little black speedo all this time! It's been twelve days -- twelve excruciating days!! -- since we saw the last ones. (See them all here.) Haven't they seen the world falling apart all this time? Didn't they understand we needed rescuing? Well we got this one (via) so perhaps this will steer us back toward heaven. They could, I don't know, just drop a new one of these every single day for the foreseeable future -- just spitballing here. (Hear that, Charles. Spitballing.) Gahh filthy innuendoes aside, the real real is that I've got a screening this morning so you'll just have to stare at that photo until I'm back. So spitball that!

Wilson Bethel Nine Times
... but it's all I can see!
Well that and Wilson on the new Daredevil episode...
... that is. That's all I can see. And maybe that's just due to the fact that I haven't even watched the new episode of Daredevil yet -- I've just watched the clip of Wilson half-naked in it (thx Mac). I'll watch the new episode in full tonight. So maybe that explains why his shirtlessness is all I can picture from the episode? Wow -- that's called "enlightenment," folks. And I'm positively stuffed up the ass with it. Ugh I am in a weird mood today y'all. Ignore me. Or even better just hit the jump for the photos of Wilson giving off all the BBE he can muster...
Pics of the Day
Guy Ritchie's upcoming comic-action movie In the Grey -- which stars Jake Gyllenhaal and Henry Cavill, why else do you think we're here? -- is out in two weeks. And you should probably prepare yourselves for no early reviews because they ain't pre-screening it for critics. Believe me. I tried. That's always a good sign! Anyway this movie's probably review-proof because of assholes like me who will see this movie either way since, as I said two sentences ago -- it stars Jake Gyllenhaal and Henry Cavill and why else do you think we're here? Henry Cavill in those pants seen above, even more importantly. (thx Mac) Here's the movie's trailer in case you missed it. Can it really be that bad? Honestly I think they just don't give a shit about critics. And they're probably right. Womp womp for us then! But can somebody rescue Jake please? Our man needs a career intervention. Get him back in the hands of a David Fincher.
Good Morning, Garrett
A good morning and a merry Hump Day from Garrett Wareing -- and me too! Ahem -- not #MeToo. Just a good old fashioned "me, as well." Wow, awkward! Sorry I've got the below gag from this week's episode of The Comeback stuck in my head -- this is so Valerie of me. What a way to start a day. Moving on! Hello, hello, hello!

Arty Froushan Twenty-One Times
I think I know my audience. And my audience consists of the kind of people who are screaming "Make out!" at Arty Froushan and Charlie Cox whenever their characters share the screen on Daredevil: Born Again. I know all of this because it's exactly like that old T.V. commercial for the Hair Club For Men -- I'm not just the President of the "Screaming 'Make out!' at Arty Froushan and Charlie Cox whenever their characters share the screen on Daredevil: Born Again" Club, I am also very much a member. King of the members!
A Lotus For Laura
I had kinda sorta given up on Mike White reuniting with his Enlightened and Year of the Dog star Laura Dern after rumors of a fracture in their working and personal relationship had made its way through the whisper-vine to my lowly ears, so I'm extremely happy to see that whatever truth there was in that has been fixed and they're reuniting at last! Deadline just announced this morning that Dern is taking over the role that Helena Bonham Carter vacated last week -- actually I think the role's being completely rewritten, re-fitted to Dern, as the issue was that the character HBC was playing wasn't working in the context of the rest of the season. This is great news -- two of our greatest collaborators together again! I just uhh hope it goes smoothly. For everybody's sake. That's my only wish for now -- I will put everything on that and then later I will start the Enlightened Season Three campaign. Like... tomorrow. I'll start that tomorrow.

Poetic Justice (1993)
Iesha: Why you don't ever wanna have no fun no more?Justice: Please.Iesha: Girl, don't you know the world is justa big place for us to go out and fuck up in it.
I'm not posting a quote from this movie starring Janet Jackson right now because Janet had the common sense and decency to say "fuck no" about being in that gross bio-pic of her brother that just made a shit-ton of money this past weekend -- it's just good timing like that. I am posting this quote because Criterion just dropped their box-set of John Singleton's "Hood Trilogy" today -- besides Poetic Justice it includes 1991's Boyz n the Hood and 2001's Baby Boy, the latter which I've still somehow never seen! But speaking for the other two this set is long-awaited and a very welcome addition to my collection. All that said -- there are so many great little Regina King performances out there waiting to be re-appreciated! I've loved her since forever -- seeing her win that Oscar for Beale Street was one of those far and few between legit triumphant times where AMPAS did the right thing.
Good Morning, World
It's okay, Heated Rivalry hunk Robbie G.K. -- I too have sometimes left the house having forgotten something important. The important thing is that you did this and were hot while you did it. That's what matters most. (click to embiggen; thx Mac)

Today's Fanboy Delusion
Today I'd rather be...
... howling at Billy Magnussen's moon.
Before any of youse ask no, I still have not started watching Billy's series The Audacity yet (which is what these gifs are from) -- I've posted about the series a couple of times previously, saying I'd get to it. But it ain't been gotten yet. What's new! This weekend whizzed by and somehow it's Monday now and I got nothing done. (I mean I did get to do some cool shit, as explicated in this thread at Bluesky, but I got nothing checked off my list of Shit I Gotta Get Done, which might as well be etched into stone tablets at this point.) Anyway nobody is here to read my "What I Did This Weekend" essay in elementary school class -- I keep forgetting that. Y'all here for Billy Buns and those, bless our Billy, are in ample and buoyant supply for us right on after the jump...
Everything You Ever Need To Know About Life...

Bring Her Back (2025)
Laura: Respect my fucking privacy.
I still kind of can't believe that there was absolutely no awards buzz for Sally Hawkins' work in Bring Her Back last year -- I guess there could have been conufsion on whether her role was Lead or Supporting? I'd personally call it a Lead -- and I'd say she deserved a nomination more than half the people who did get nominated for that statue, too. Hell I liked Hawkins' work more than I liked Buckley's steamrolling performance in Hamnet, even -- as a person who generally loves Buckley I found her work in that movie overwrought; I found Mescal more moving. But I guess there are similarities between Hawkins and Buckley's characters that I hadn't even considered until now, and perhaps they're the reason Hawkins gained no footing with precursors -- both characters are after all women lashing out in grief after the death of a child. Hawkins' work is the only one that, to me, felt truly surprising though. Not to get lost in old Oscar talk! JFC who cares! So anyway! Sally Hawkins is 50 today! She's a gem and I'm so happy we have her. The movies are 75% more interesting with her running around.
Good Morning, World
Raise your hand if you'd let Jacob Elordi fling you around like he is that weight training device. [The entire world tilts off its axis from everyone raising their hands all at once.] Happy Monday!

Taron Egerton Sling Time
Has Taron captured your attention? Good, that was my intention. Because I have a review for you to read! Click on over to Pajiba and you can read my thoughts on Apex, the Aussie wilderness thriller that stars Charlize Theron and Taron that just landed on Netflix today. It's good! I liked it! (Also Taron is naked in it! Even better!)

Special Effects (1984)
Neville: Like I always say, I don't know what I likeuntil I see it. And then I know I don't like it.
Have any of you seen this sleazy 1984 Larry Cohen film? (Redundancy after redundancy there.) I only saw it a few weeks ago because the fine folks at Radiance Films put out a gorgeous new restoration of it on blu-ray and it was exactly what I wanted from a sleazy 1984 Larry Cohen film that stars Eric Bogosian as a movie director who decides to use a real life murder he commits as inspiration for his next movie. It's kind of Larry Cohen's spin on Vertigo and it's terrific. I totally felt like I needed to take a shower afterwards. Anyway speaking of Eric Bogosian, a happy 73rd birthday to the character actor whose career has as of late gotten a bump thanks to the double-punch of Uncut Gems and the Interview With the Vampire series. And speaking of the latter -- we have a trailer for the new season, baby! Sweet Rockin' Lestat gimme! I'm surprised they officially changed the name of the show to go with the book though.
Interview With the Vampire... excuse me,
The Vampire Lestat returns on June 7th.
