Thursday's Ways Not To Die

Sometimes I wonder if there is still magic to be discovered in this world, but this morning I am here to tell you kiddos that yes, there is -- there is still magic! Look no further than me discovering in the year 2025 that Texas Chain Saw director Tobe Hooper made I'm Dangerous Tonight, a Made-For-TV thriller in 1990 about an evil red dress possessed by Incan Devilry that starred Twin Peaks actress Mädchen Amick, Psycho star Anthony Perkins, E.T. & Cujo icon Dee Wallace, and... R. Lee Ermey? Because why not?

You'd think I'd have read something about this movie when my beloved Peter Strickland's killer red dress classic In Fabric came out in 2018 but if somebody did mention it it completely slipped past me -- only this week did I learn of its existence when Letterboxd made a list of movies about "Cursed Objects" (thanks to the release of Oz Perkins' The Monkey) and mentioned this film. Obviously I had to watch it immediately -- I couldn't even wait for the blu-ray to arrive in the mail, I watched the shitty quality copy that you see in these gifs. And it was worth every second of squinting!

Tobe clearly knew he had to lean hard into the camp, so this thing is soapy, it's stupid, it's trash, and I loved every fucking second of it. But let's get to this death scene here --  Mädchen's sex-obsessed cousin Gloria (Daisy Hall, chewing the walls themselves) steals the dress from Mädchen and upon putting it on immediately goes into a slutty rage. Her ten foot tall actual linebacker boyfriend obviously never stood a chance! Hit the jump for the rest of the scene...

Good Morning, World

Ooh batten down your hatches -- we're gonna have a new Jamie Dornan photoshoot! Okay yes all we have right now is the cover and I shouldn't jump the gun, but it was a rare Insta-bright-spot in a sad Insta-morning (did you see SMG's post about Michelle Trachtenberg? Broken hearted. Not to mention all of the Gene Hackman tributes rolling in. Good grief.) I daren't hope this shoot when revealed in full could be as good as his Arena Homme shoot last year but that image above is promising anyway. It reminds me of a bit that Sandra Bernhard had in one of her comedy specials where she made a joke about an album cover for Heart where one of them had "one eye obscured by a peacock feather." And I like that.

Say Good Night, Sufjan

Good night, Sufjan.

Everything You Ever Need To Know About Life...

 ... you can learn from:

Insidious (2010)

Tucker: A picture's worth a thousand words.

Specs: Words are worth a thousand words, too.

A happy 48 to director James Wan today!

He really understands the appeal of Patrick Wilson...

... and for that we owe him an eternal gratitude.

And I am still super sad we're not getting a Trench movie.

Dammit James Wan's THE TRENCH was literally the only DC movie I gave a shit about. 1, cuz that sequence is the best sequence in any DC movie, period. And 2, cuz making a whole damn movie out of that seemed so ridiculous & inexplicable. Clearly it was but that's where magic lives! pic.twitter.com/m9BNbRLonN

RIP MIchelle Trachtenberg

Incredibly shocking and sad news today as we learn that Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Gossip Girl, Mysterious Skin and Harriet the Spy actress Michelle Trachtenberg has passed away at the far far far too young age of 39. I only started watching Buffy regularly in its fifth season (and had to go back and watch all the earlier seasons on DVD) so Michelle's character of Dawn never felt imposed on the show to me like it did to most people who watched the show from the start (of course that was part of the knowing wink of the character) -- anyway I was vehemently pro-Dawn and was always knocking back at the character's haters. I also got to interview Michelle in 2004 for the Abercrombie & Fitch Quarterly -- I tried to find the interview online but it doesn't seem to be anywhere. I've only done two interviews in my entire life (the other one being Michael Fassbender because how could I say no to that) because I am not a natural conversationalist (which should read: cripplingly shy) but I remember Michelle being lovely and sweet and funny in our phone convo. Our deepest condolences go out to all the people who knew and loved her. With the possibility of a Buffy reboot ahead we now have to wonder how they'll address this. How very very sad.

Leo Woodall Five Times

I haven't watched the new Bridget Jones movie yes and I don't know if I will -- I think I only saw the first one? But I definitely appreciate the fact that it's given our former White Lotus trophy boy Leo Woodall some additional press here in 2025 (to go alongside all the hot gay action he's currently engaging in on his Apple+ series) -- if you follow me on Bluesky then you'll already know it's been useful not just for the usual (i.e. staring) but practical too since I used a recent photoshoot of this pretty boy to show to my barber for the haircut I got this morning! He's a man for all seasons, this one!  

Anyway in procuring said haircut photos last night I stumbled upon several other recent shoots I'd not seen before, but I'm only sharing this one (via) right now because.. well, it's plenty. Sleeveless tees, short shorts -- I am sated. We'll save the other ones for the rainy days when we've got nothing else to post. Hit the jump for the rest of these...

Good Morning, Gratuitous Noah Centineo

First things first that's a terrifically HQ photo above, so liberally click on it to embiggen as I know you will want to. Moving on -- a couple of weeks back I shared with you some photos from Noah Centineo's Calvin Klein campaign in 2019 that I'd (outrageously) never gotten around to posting. Well yesterday I stumbled upon the above photo and realized that I'd only ever seen a pre-crotch cropped version of it, posted here, and that also could not stand. Such horrific oversights on my part! I'd started this post off with an entirely different intent...

... which was to just share the three hot new photos that dropped from Noah's 2025 Behind the Blinds photoshoot (which had already given us three extremely hot photos a few weeks back). But I think we can all agree that that uncropped CK photo gets the top spot on any post. Maybe every post? Maybe every post I post from now on will begin with that photo -- who knows! Makes sense to me though. Anyway this Behind the Blinds shoot is turning out really good and I look forward to seeing them all once they've all been dropped, but here's the thing...

... as I was looking up those photos I found even more old ones I never posted! Also from 2019! (From this video specifically.) I was really dropping the ball in 2019 I guess. And listen -- I have currently fallen down a real Noah Hole and I kinda don't ever want to climb out. You understand. You hear me. Ever since That Scene on his show The Recruit this season the boy's been on my brain and then some! I've been doing this blog for a long time now -- 20 years come June, he types as he crumbles to dust -- and these obsessions come and they go in fits, and it's a big Noah fit we're having this month. So to get to the point I've got the other couple of photos from that Blinds shoot plus a heap of gifs from that 2019 one, plus then some bonus Noah, all after the jump! Come obsess with me on this happy Hump Day...

Arnas Fedaravičius Nine Times

I didn't intend for today to turn so White Lotus centric (see also this morning) but it's not really too outlandish either, given I have been worshipping at the altar of Mike White for two and a half full decades now, ever since his first film Chuck & Buck became Chuck & Buck & Jason Forever back in the year 2000. And this Vogue Scandanavia photoshoot of Lithuanian actor Arnas Fedaravičius, who plays the third season's hot-stuff masseur Valentin, obviously demanded its attention. I won't get into spoilers re: his character since some of you might not be caught up on the show but I think Valentin is going to turn out to be an interesting character, don't you? Mike White always gives the beefcake a surprise twist and I expect no less here. Not that I've seen any more than any of you, but the tea leaves are pointing! Anyway until then though just hit the jump for the full shoot (with a little bonus video at the end)...

Good Morning, World

I don't usually post gifs all in a line like that like this is Tumblr or some shit but... well who am I to judge Tumblr? But mainly those shots from this past weekend's episode of The White Lotus need to be seen like that to be properly appreciated. As explicated last week after the premiere those are the "will they or will they?" brothers (!!!) played by Patrick Schwarzenegger and Sam Nivola on the show's third season...

It must be so weird for Sam Nivola to play a person who is related to a guy with such a beautiful ass that it's impossible not to stare at -- I can't imagine where he's summoning that energy from

... and Mike White only added further fuel to that fire with that moment. (Do you think there is meta commentary going on with the fact that both actors are "nepo-babies"? I think Mike White just might be that galaxy-brained but that might just be a coincidence.) Anyway we'll see where that thread goes (watchfully, we will!) but for now let's just distract ourselves with a big brand new photoshoot of Patrick for V Man magazine after the jump...

Luca Talks

I actually haven't watched this in full yet myself but it's Monday lunchtime so the perfect moment! Over the weekend our favorite peach-fucker and sometime film director Luca Guadagnino did a video for the French YouTube channel Konbini's "Video Club" series, where filmmakers and actors and artists go to talk about their inspirations. And it already gifted us with at least the above meme, which I plan on trotting out whenever the nmoment arises (so basically once or thrice a week). Here's the full video:

Good Morning, World

Several more photos of Cooper Koch in V Man magazine (each one hotter than the one before it) popped up on Friday but I decided to hold them off for today, just in case even more popped up over the weekend -- they've been having a good time, dribbling these out piecemeal, and I have had a good time being dribbled upon by them. See the first batch I posted last week right here. I also have the link to the interview here, and there's video of the shoot at the bottom of this post. (Seems like this post has two bottoms.) Kickin' the week off with Coopa, we dig, we dig. Hit the jump for the rest...
