What movie is this?

CUTOUTS Ho

These are one of those posts that end up being basically for an audience of exactly one person -- that person being myself -- but since I'm my own best audience it's gonna happen. Scroll on by if you are just here for abs -- there be plenty below. Anyway the first thing I saw online this morning was a blinking red alert that The Smile -- the band that features Radiohead (aka my favorite band) members Thom Yorke and Jonny Greenwood, along with drummer Tom Skinner -- had just dropped a new album! Well pre-orders of a new album anyway -- it's called CUTOUTS (I am not sure if that's supposed to be entirely capitalized or not but for now I'm going with that) and you can pre-order it from their web-store right here. This is their third successive album as a Radiohead side-project -- and all three of these have happened since last we got a new Radiohead album EIGHT YEARS AGO with A Moon Shaped Pool -- other members of Radiohead who aren'tm Thom or Jonny keep saying that Radiohead is not broken up; I don't believe either Thom or Jonny have stated such but I am choosing to believe that because I would die otherwise. Just drop dead here and now. Not that I don't love the work they've done with the Smile -- these have all been wonderful records and the songs we've heard off this new one so far are all just as good as naything they've put out to date. On that note they just dropped a trippy new music video for the song "Foreign Spies" (it's real pretty) and here, watch!

Pics of the Day

I suppose it's early in the day to dub pictures of an (admittedly world class sexy) actor wearing short-shorts as the "pictures of the day" -- who knows what marvels this Wednesday might hold? But it's been awhile since Paul busted those beautiful gams out for a pap-snap stroll and I have been thirsting for them, so fuck the rest of the world. If Richard Madden wants to make out with a boy in a public park he'd better wait to do it until tomorrow dammit. 

Good Morning, World

Odd that I am bringing up Box Office two posts in a row in order to say how I never talk or think about Box Office -- I'd say crown me King of the Hypocrites but I got that crown so long ago it's tarnished and turned green -- but did anybody go and see The Crow re-do this past weekend? I did not, nor do I have any desire to, nor do I have a clue how it did  -- but at some point in the future when I feel like hurting myself I'll definitely watch it at home. (Such moments are not rare.) Anyway as I said last week when I was posting yet another shot of Bill Skarsgård's incredible edible abdominal muscles I was never big on The Crow anyway (except the soundtrack -- I always need to make that qualifier lest my NIN Fanclub Membership gets revoked). My very brief goth period did not coincide with its release. But many thanks to Bill and Bill's trainer (who shared this snippet of video) for everything we see above!

My Sweet Darling of Strange

So did any of you go and see Strange Darling this past weekend? It hit about eleven-hundred screens which seems like a lot? I have no concept of how many theaters there are any more -- I realized long ago that paying attention to the Box Office was giving me ulcers. I pay more attention to Awards Season than I do the Box Office now and y'all know how little a shit I give about Awards Season. Anyway point being perhaps some of you saw Strange Darling and so I don't have to feel as guilty about directing y'all over to my review of the movie, which has just gone up at Pajiba. As I said last week when I crowned its male lead Kyle Gallner our greatest current Scream King this is a movie that one doesn't want to spoil too much, given its many twists -- and my review still tries its damndest to be as vague as possible but it's inevitable, in writing about it, that at least a vibe will come across. And this really is a movie that one should know zip zilch zero about going in to have the best experience. That said it's worth that effort -- it kicks ass. I really enjoyed it. So stop listening to me rambling and go see the damn thing while you can!

I Want Cooper's Sex

When I heard Gregg Araki was making a new movie I was very excited -- Araki is on my Gay Mount Rushmore and it's been an entire decade since he made a movie with White Bird in a Blizzard in 2014. Which is outrageous. When I heard the movie was set to star Olivia Wilde though I will admit I was a little bit... confused about how I felt. Because I've never really been a fan of hers -- it had nothing to do with the brouhaha surrounding her relationship with whatshisface; my indifference long pre-dated that nonsense. That said Wilde fits perfectly into the kind of actress that Araki loves -- almost alien in their beauty, and kind of cold. I could see him knowing how to use her well. Anyway the details on the movie came next -- it's going to be called I Want Your Sex and it's suppoesly about a young man awakening a ferocious sexual appetite in an older woman. Sounds right up Araki's alley. (And obviously it's a casting that's leaning into that whole whatshisname kerfuffle.) Whatever hottie would Araki cast as the horndog lothario, I wondered? Well I could have wondered for ten years straight and never gotten around to who he just cast -- Cooper Hoffmann, son of Phillip Seymour Hoffmann, who was so tremndously good in Paul Thomas Anderson's Licorice Pizza but who never exactly screamed this casting here at me all the same. But fuck it, I'm into it, he's proved a terrific actor in PTA's film, and I love it when somebody unearths sex appeal from somewhere you're not looking for it. Surprise sexiness is the best kind! Bring it on, Coop!

Pic of the Day

Director Robert Eggers just dropped this new image from his upcoming Nosferatu movie on his Insta -- looks like Lily-Rose Depp might be going through some stuff in this movie! Eggers captioned the photo "He is coming" but I hope that doesn't mean he's going to be showing off what Bill Skarsgard looks like in the film as the titular bloodsucker -- I really want them to keep that a surprise for the movie. I know the chances of that happening are slim to oblivion but hope I shall keep alive even in the face of typically insurmountable PR BS! This movie is out in exactly 120 days, on the day known to some as "Christmas." What a perfect holiday treat!

Everything You Ever Need To Know About Life...

 ... you can learn from:

Mother (1996)

Carl: Maybe you shouldn't get married anymore.

John: I want kids.

Carl: Well, adopt.

John: I want to pass down my seed.

Carl: Masturbate in the garden.

Very happy that Albert Brooks' Mother has hit the Criterion Collection today -- I've loved this very funny movie since the day it came out, but it's been quite awhile since I've watched it so this gives me an easy opportunity to finally revisit it. And in 4K no less! I don't know why we need to see the protective ice over Debbie Reynolds' ice cream in 4K really, but I won't argue with it. Oh and also out on 4K today is Brooks' film Real Life, which I have never seen before! Big day the sweaty nebbish. (Oh and PS Criterion is having a sale right now -- 30% off all of their 4K discs. And it includes pre-orders so you can grab their mindblowing September line-up of the Araki box-set or All of Us Strangers or Todd Solondz's Happiness with that deduction!)

Jeremy Allen White Sixty-Three Times

After yesterday's lackadaisical posting here on the site, I feel this will more than make up for it -- Jeremy Allen White has graced us (and our loins) with another Calvin Klein campaign (via) and I've got all the photos and all the gifs and video too! And it gets...

... real horny, baby. I guess they saw the internet go into full meltdown mode over the first batch of pictures back in January and knew they had to dial it up a notch and fully obliterate us. Well I feel...

... quite happily, quite enthusiastically, obliterated! Oblierated in all the right places! Anyway I have a feeling more of these will drop in the next couple of days so keep checking back -- I'm going to try to keep them all contained in one spot. For now hit the jump for the truly bountiful and oliterating assortment already granted us...

Good Morning, World

Okay I am sprinkling some goodwill across the site this morning that today will be a fuller, rounder day than yesterday was -- and what better way to find that magic than via Kit Harington's fuller, rounder ass on this pastt weekend's episode of Industry? And yes this shot seems to me a pretty clear reference to the immediately iconic and legendary shot of Ryan Phillippe's ass in Cruel Intentions -- honestly I would be cool if every actor felt the need to recreate that scene, but Kit doing it is in particular welcome. World class rear!

Glen Powell Assume the Position

Well as you can tell today kind of got away from me -- I went to a screening this morning and then I've been working on a review all afternoon. I'm not sure when that review will go up but it might still go up today, and if it does I'll come back and share that link. But if I was a betting man I'd wager this is it for this Monday. What a flop, me. Tomorrow will be more substantial, I promise. At least I can leave you with these two photos of Glen Powell pushing his crotch in our collective faces. It's the least I can do!

Good Uhh Afternoon, World

Hey apologies I forgot I had a press screening this morning so I be running behind... but a happy Monday and here's some Ricky Whittle abs goodness to tide you over while I catch up. Thank you for the content, Ricky! (via)

Kyle Gallner, Scream King

My review for this one isn't going to hit until this weekend at the earliest, Monday at the latest, but there's a new horror movie out tomorrow called Strange Darling that stars scream-king and noted sexpot Kyle Gallner alongside Willa Fitzgerald (who was apparently on the Scream series, which I never watched) that will be getting my stamp-of-approval when said review does drop -- so maybe go see it this weekend! If my opinion matters to you at all, that is. Here is the trailer:

It's a nearly impossible movie to talk about, so twisty it be, so I'm happy I am able to delay my review until after its opening weekend -- I'll feel a little less lousy about alluding to its twists and turns once the film's been out for at least a couple of days. All of that said as you can see in the trailer and in these photos for Zoo magazine -- Kyle Gallner, y'all. I never would've guessed that Beaver on Veronica Mars would've grown up...

... to become such a surprising little sex symbol, but consider me enamored. I've actually been feeling it since... maybe it was Dinner in America? I specifically remember watching him in that movie and...

Uhh Kyle Gallner in DINNER IN AMERICA made me feel some stuff, you guys... pic.twitter.com/txaR45bV1A

— Jason Adams (@JAMNPP) October 11, 2020

... feeling some stuff I wasn't expecting to feel. (That is a really great movie by the way, if you've never seen it.) But now it's expected -- his frequent tank-top videos on his Instagram always perk up my day when they pop up. And he's on such a roll with the Scream King thing between this movie, the aforementioned Dinner in America, Carter Smith's underrated extended exercise in homoerotica The Passenger, the first Scream re-quel, Mother May I?, Smile... hell it even goes back to him in a speedo getting terrorized by Freddy in the 2010 Nightmare on Elm Street reboot.

 

Point being we love you, Kyle Gallner! Keep up the good horror-loving work. And while we wait for my review of Strange Darling to drop in a few days, and to carry us into the weekend with all the hotness, let's hit the jump for the rest of this photoshoot...

Everything You Ever Need To Know About Life...

 ... you can learn from:

Barb and Stars Go to Vista Del Mar (2021)

Star: You've been pleasuring me a lot lately. 

In that last position, your dong went really deep. 

I think your dong went all the way up and... touched my heart.

Happy 51 to my hometown sweetheart Kristen Wiig!

Today's Fanboy Delusion

 Today I'd rather be...

... entering my Erotica era with Jack Lowden.

Manny Jacinto Eleven Times

Not that it's possible to take a bad photo of Manny Jacinto -- as I've said more times than I can count I am sometimes convinced he is a computer-generated special-effect and not an actual flesh-and-blood human being (but if you want to come touch me to convince me otherwise, Manny, I am here and waiting!) -- but he looks super fine in this new photoshoot for Nuvo magazine. I guess we'll have to take these in exchange for stupid Disney canceling his Star Wars series The Acolyte, though I must admit I was part of the problem...

... even when Manny took off his clothes I still didn't watch the show! I kept meaning to but I can't bring myself to get excited Star Wars anymore. I was never the biggest Star Wars person anyway but there's just too much of it right now. Okay I'm not exactly making the case for The Acolyte at this point so I'll shut up. How about that Manny though? Hubba bubba. Hit the jump for more...

Good Morning, World

The two seasons of Heels are heading to Netflix on September 15th so maybe I will finally watch Heels? Alexander Ludwig posting this selfie yesterday (via) asking for a third season to happen is sure making me think I should jjoin the cause. Any fans of the show?
