Great Moments In Movie Staches

Since MaXXXine is out in a couple of days (more on that in a bit) and I keep seeing pictures of David Corenswet shooting the new Superman movie on my social media timelines (have you seen the photo of his Clark Kent yet?) it seemed a nice moment to glance back at David's bestached period fuckboi look in Pearl -- we had it so fine then! So, so fine.

Good Morning, World

Happy almost holiday! Tomorrow is July 4th, meaning us loons here in the States deep-throat hot dogs to spite the Brits, or whatever -- and what better way to celebrate than by ogling a Brit whose hot dog... well you get the gist. These first few gifs aren't showing his face (in case you didn't notice that) but the ample bum you're seeing here is the ample bum of British actor Edward Bluemel...

... who you might remember from his stint of being adorable on Killing Eve -- I've posted about him a couple of times previously anyway, check those here. And the show these are from is called My Lady Jane which is on Prime and which appears to me to be an period romantic-comedy type thing that's attempting to ride the Birdgerton train -- is that right? Have I got it? Anyway yes it's really rather shocking that I'm giffing up this scene from the series before...

Wait there is a show about naked Dominic Cooper getting spanked and I am not watching it WTF pic.twitter.com/SJrv2b2pSW

... I gif up the scene where Dominic Cooper (who is also on the show) gets his beautiful and long-time MNPP-beloved arse spanked. But sometimes you want to save things for a day when you really need them. Today what I need is Eddy Bluemel reenacting the scene of Nicholas Clay outdoor-showering in Lady Chatterly's Lover -- granted this one's not quite as explicit as that one, but what could be? Honestly only literal pornography could be, since that scene is so legendarily over-the-top. And it would be cruel to ask anyone to compete with Nicholas Clay anyway. But do hit the jump for more of Mr. Bluemel doing his part anyway... 

The Real Gay Cowboys

Before he turned it into a stellar movie starring Charlie Plummer, photographer-turned-director Luke Gilford released a book of photography called National Anthem that set about capturing the queer rodeo scene -- that book's been out of print for awhile, much to my chagrin when I saw the movie and loved it. But now that the movie version is hitting theaters (it's out next Friday, July 12th) the book has been reprinted, hooray! You can pre-order it at this link -- it's out in October. And click here to read my review of National Anthem, the movie, which is really gorgeous and terrific. Or click here to watch the film's trailer. I am very much looking forward to seeing this beautiful movie a second time, and in October getting to see this book for the very first!

Zane Phillips Two Times

Wow it's been quiet in here today -- apologies! And right before a holiday too -- I should get my shit together and entertain you people before disappearing for five days. Feel free to curse and jinx me as retribution -- I've got so many jinxes and curses already what's a few more? Seriously though I left the house twice on Saturday and both times -- BOTH TIMES -- a bird pooped on me. What does it mean??? Anyway talk of bird excrement aside these are some fine photos of Zane Phillips ain't they? As if this man is capable of not being fine. There are more right here. All of that said I was actually working on something to share with you fine people soon whilst I've been not here not blogging, so maybe I will have that to share soon. Stay tuned.  There will be at least a little more posting of note before tomorrow is through and we're off for the weekend, I promise.

Good Morning, Owen Teague Twenty-Two Times

At the start of June I reviewed a movie called Griffin In Summer that premiered at Tribeca -- I absolutely and totally adored the film, it was my favorite at the fest, and I wasn't alone because it won the award for the Best Narrative Feature from the fest itself. The movie's about a tween named Griffin (Everett Blunck) who falls in love with the much older handyman (played by Owen Teague) that his mom (Melanie Lynskey) hires, and as I said here at MNPP when linking to my review the film had me suffering much the same fate -- I am now crushing like mad on Owen Teague. 

So imagine my joy, my ebullience, when I opened the internet this morning and this extremely gratuitous and plentiful photoshoot of Owen for Behind the Blinds magazine greeted me the very first thing! Yes this is the second grand Blinds photoshoot in as many days -- see Arnaud Valois yesterday -- somebody over there deserves a raise. Anyway it's one hell of a hot set of photos so let's just get them them! Hit the jump... 

Arnaud Valois Sixteen Times

The ever-reliable folks at Behind the Blinds magazine coming through again with a sexy photo-shoot of one of our under-loved faves -- this time it's French actor Arnaud Valois, last seen romancing a sad-eyed Dan Levy in Good Grief and currently seen in the Karl Lagerfeld miniseries Becoming Karl Lagerfeld alongside MNPP faves Daniel Brühl and Théodore Pellerin...

...  and how in the hell have I not watched this series yet? I gotta push it on up the list. Are any of you more on it and already watching it? Anyway we've loved Arnaud since the masterpiece B.P.M. and we're happy he keeps getting work we wanna watch. Read the chat over at their website here, or just hit the jump for all of these hella fine photos...

Femme For Home

Excellent news for physical media lovers who also happen to like seeing actors George Mackay and Nathan Stewart-Jarrett have lots of gay sex -- their queer thriller Femme, about a drag queen getting complicated (and sexy) revenge on the closet-case who bashed him, is getting a proper beautiful blu-ray release thanks to Vinegar Syndrome! Click here and you can pre-order the movie right now -- VS usually takes a couple of months to ship things so I can't give a proper "release date" but when you get it eventually it'll be worth it as they really do their movies up proper. Here is my review of the movie -- I knew I'd eventually have a movie where I'm quoted in the trailer get onto VS and today is that day! As a rabid physical media nerd this brings me a fresh kind of joy. Anyway this movie is terrific, MNPP recommended!

Good Morning, World

Happy Monday from, firstly, me, and secondly Paul Mescal's rippling muscles via the first official photos of him in the Gladiator sequel! My love to whomever's job it was to schedule the film's production who knew that they shoot Paul's shirtless scene right away so it can be among the first images released to sell the sucker. I have extremely mixed hopes for this movie -- I have liked exactly one Ridley Scott movie in the past 30 years and it's The Counselor, aka the one everybody else hated. And I especially hate the original Gladiator film. Ugh, crap. But I do love the cast that Ridley's assembled here so I guess we'll see. Anyway these photos come from Vanity Fair -- they've got a whole thing (I guess the word I am looking for there is "article" -- it's Monday morning, leave me be!) which I haven't read yet so let's go do that together. After we hit the jump and look at the photos anyway...

Let's Hear It For The Paperboy

Zac Efron and Nicole Kidman are reuniting in a movie for Netflix this weekend called A Family Affair, for the first time since Lee Daniels' The Paperboy in 2012... so naturally I had to write about The Paperboy. How could I not? Head on over to Mashable where I make the case in this movie's defense -- I genuinely think it's Daniels' best movie, and preciesly because of the way it deliberately wields camp. We should appreciate Daniels more dammit!

Good Morning, World

When I wrote up yesterday's post about Yorgos Lanthimos' new movie Bugonia -- read that right here -- I remembered that I had this photo of Yorgos himself baring some flesh in the 2010 movie Attenberg and how could I not post it? Our Yorgos crush runs deep. He shows even more skin in this movie (like, a lot more) but I'm saving that for the day I actually get around to watching this movie, which I have not yet. Anyone out there seen it? Anyway hi it's Thursday which means it's my last day of the work week before my Summer Friday and I just wanna get through today unscathed. Is that too much to ask? Probably! Let's go for it anyway.

Joe Keery Five Times

Ahhhhhh Joe Keery's chest hair is here to make the day just that little bit brighter -- blessings! The Stranger Things and Fargo hair-monster himself is on the cover of Wonderland magazine this month, and  you can read the chat over there. It's between Joe and his Fargo poppa Jon Hamm! Look at Wonderland, trying to steal the Interview Magazine thing. Anyway they don't stop the interview to tell us any filthy stories of daddy-son role-play from the set so the chat is not that special. The pictures are good though! Meaning I get to see his chest hair and his legs and he wears leather pants. That's good! Hit the jump for 'em all...

Everything You Ever Need To Know About Life...

 ... you can learn from:

Black Bear (2020)

Allison: I figured if I never learn how to cook

then I would never become a housewife.

A happy 40th birthday to Aubrey Plaza today! I don't remember much about Black Bear except I liked it and Christopher Abbott was (per usual) sexy in it -- I should give it another watch. It is one of those movies that got lost in the pandemic (it premiered at Sundance in January of 2020, and then... well you know what "and then") and didn't get much attention after that. Anyway we love Aubrey, of course we do, but let's be real -- the real reason we're going out of our way to wish her a happy birthday today is so we can scream about John Waters' currently-in-the-air return to filmmaking -- he wants her to star in his adaptation of his book Liarmouth, and she wants to do it, but nobody's yet given them the budget to make it. This would be a killer birthday present for Aubrey! And for me too -- my birthday is in just a couple of weeks and this is also what I want!

Yorgos Has a Bugonia in His Bonnet

I had heard about Yorgos Lanthimos' next movie a full month ago but when new news on it dropped yesterday I realized I never posted about it -- I guess I was in the thick of the Tribeca Film Fest and forgot to. Anyway, said news -- his next movie is titled Bugonia and it is apparently a remake of the super psychotic 2003 South Korean eco-comedy Save the Green Planet! made originally by director Joon-Hwan Jang and starring the adorable Shin Ha-kyun (of Sympathy For Mr. Vengeance fame). I haven't seen that movie since it came out but I remember it being incredibly over-the-top and bizarre...

... it tells the story of a couple who kidnap a big fancy businessman, convinced he's an alien set out to kill the human race. From the description of Yorgos' take it sounds like some stuff's been changed -- the "couple" are now "two conspiracy obsessed young men" (no word on them being a couple or not) and the CEO is now a woman. And since Emma Stone is one of the two cast members we know about, it's probably safe to assume that will be her. The other name is Emma's Kinds of Kindness co-star Jesse Plemons, who's great in that movie (my review) and fits right into Yorgos-land so I'd expect them to work together often in the future. Anyway we also have a release date for the film -- November 7th 2025. So awhile! That'll be a big break in between Yorgos movies, given how piled on top of one another Poor Things and Kindness seemed to be. Anyway any new Yorgos is good news, huzzah!
