Wagner Moura Nineteen Times

It's weird I didn't see Wagner Moura get dragged into the brown-word brouhaha that erupted when Steven Soderbergh broke our hearts, declaring he wants to make a movie about the Spanish-American War starring Moura that would use"a lot of A.I." -- if I missed somebody asking Moura about that shit please share it in the comments! Until then I am choosing to believe that Wagner didn't know anything about the A.I. part of this and has since bolted, just so's my crush on him can remain throbbing for a little longer. Thankfully for now we't throbbing just fine thanks to this new-ish photoshoot (via) ...

... and the news that Wagner will be starring opposite two of my favorite actors -- Ralph Fiennes and Colin Farrell, A mini-In-Bruges reunion! -- in Art, a film adaptation of the 1994 play by Christopher Hampton to be directed by the great Fernando Meirelles (thx Mac). The play's about three long-term friends who debate the meaning of art when one of them buys an extremely expensive all-white painting. Okay! I suppose somehow that will be made cinematic. And I bet it will be accomplished without any A.I. too. Keep that line of thinking going, Wagner! Hit the jump for all of the photos...

Everything You Ever Need To Know About Life...

 ... you can learn from:

Charade (1963)

Peter: Do we know each other?

Reggie: Why, do you think we're going to?

Peter: I don't know. How would I know?

Reggie: Because I already know an awful lot of people, and 

until one of them dies I couldn't possibly meet anyone else.

I can't tell you how often this bit of dialogue from Charade pops up inside my head -- as an avowed hermit I doubt that surprises anyone. But really I promise you that in my head the intention is closer to the line from Dawn of the Dead -- "When there's no more room in hell, the dead will walk the earth." Being in my life is hell! I am saving people from knowing me -- it's fucking exhausting knowing me. Anyway (speaking of?) today would have been Audrey Hepburn's 97th birthday. You only have three short years to make your "Centennial of Audrey" little black dress that you'll wear to join us all when we go  riot and loot Tiffany's -- better get on it!

Hokum Sweet Hokum

I hope some of you went to see Damian McCarthy's new horror movie Hokum over the weekend! Starring Adam Scott as a writer who finds himself trapped inside a haunted hotel -- yes yes The Shining, The Shining, although honestly it made me think of Ti West's The Innkeepers more -- it's the third movie from the Caveat and Oddity director, and his best, says me in my review of the movie right here. Which is saying something because I loved the hell out of Oddity. McCarthy has cemented his place in the "director you should be very excited about" category now anyway -- we'll await every fresh announcement from him with bated breath. Oh and not to brag (that's a lie, I am one thousand percent bragging) but I managed to score one of the limited run of Hokum dolls that Neon dropped last week -- I've got a new cherished nerd collectible y'all!

They had TWENTY of these Hokum dolls on sale on Neon's webstore this morning AND I GOT THE LAST ONEEEEEEEE

What movie is this?

Good Morning, World

It's Monday! Who doesn't love a Monday? Why you ask anybody around the globe what their favorite morning is, it's gonna be Monday. (Set to the tune of "It's Gonna Be Me" by NSYNC of course.) Anyway we're not big on double-dipping but I only recently discovered that there was a longer version of the "Dylan O'Brien baths bare-assed in the sea-shore scene in Send Help" that was included in the extras on the blu-ray, and what, I'm gonna leave those shots un-giffed? Dylan lathering up his soapy torso... 

... will be one of The indelible images of 2026, cut or uncut (editing, I mean editing!) -- make no mistake! For serious though I think this extended sequence, which adds a little extra sexual tension between him and Rachel McAdams' character (instead of staying turned away she turns back and he shows off for her), is useful -- not just because we see more of Naked Dylan, but because it complicates their relationship further and that's always good. Alas. At least we have it now. And now is the time where you hit the jump, to have it...

Bisexual Lighting: The Movie

We have a U.S. release date for Nicolas Winding Refn's first movie in a decade y'all! Her Private Hell will be opening on July 24th thanks to the stellar folks at Neon -- this will be after it bows at Cannes this month for those bastards who go to Cannes. (Fuck you, bastard people.)  I've posted about this movie a lot previously because duh -- we fucking worship NWR. But this thing's also got one of his most gorgeous casts (which is saying a lot given his last movie that had both Alessandro Nivola and Karl Glusman in its cast) -- Sophie Thatcher, Charles Melton, Havana Rose Liu, Diego Calva, Drive My Car star Hidetoshi Nishijima, Parker Sawyers aka...

... the beautiful man who had lots of sex with Henry Golding in the movie Monsoon. Also the model Lola Corfixen and the oldest person in the cast, one Dougray Scott, who nevertheless remains very much fuckable at 60 years old. And listen -- not every movie needs to star a cast of nothing but hotties. But I do look at the ones that do -- the ones being shot by a hyper-stylist like Refn especially -- as extra special gifts. Let's hope that NWR used his decade off making the most gloriously obtuse and sexy disturbing television shows since Twin Peaks as perverted fuel for this big-screen return!

Hold All October For Hartnett

This trailer dropped a few days ago so per usual I am late late late for a very important date date date -- in this instance a date with Josh Hartnett's happy trail. But this blog would be pond scum if I didn't post that gif at some point so hopefully this is new to you! Maybe you're a person who doesn't spend their entire day online, in which case I would love to body-swap with you. No that's not a euphemism. Save me from myself, please. Anyway! The movie is called Verity and it's from director Michael Showalter and it's based on a book by Colleen "It Ends With Us" Hoover and it also stars Anne Hathaway and Dakota Johnson. It's about a ghostwriter working for a famous novelist and getting all entangled in their disturbing business or some shit, I don't know. I am sure it will be full of silly twists and sexy turns, I am just here for that shot of Josh. Although yes obviously I love Anne & Dakota too, and I am glad that there's been a mini-resurgance of eortic thriller type movies. We love 'em! Watch:

Verity is out on October 2nd.

Good Morning, World

A happy 44th birthday to our Jamie Dornan today! I'm glad I never watched or heavily giffed (save one important exception) the Fifty Shades movies because it's left me lots of little treats over the years to post, like these two shots that I have never ever seen before in all my many years. Yum, endless blessings. Maybe some day when I am feeling especially, like wildly stupid, I will binge all of these movies? I could binge all of them and all of the Twilight movies, which I've never seen either! Make a whole weekend of it. And then blow my brains out. Happy Friday!

Whither Heather

I assume a lot of you already saw the news breaking today that the reboot of The Blair Witch Project that was announced a couple of years ago has added much of the team from the original film to its executive producer line-up -- they really make you have to wade through some clickbait muck to get to the meat of what's being announced though! Original stars Joshua Leonard and Michael C. Williams, original directors Eduardo Sánchez and Daniel Myrick, and original producer Gregg Hale have all signed on to be Executive Producers, full stop. Every headline is making it seem as if Mike and Josh are starring in the new movie but nowhere in the actual text of this news does it say any of that. Also notable is of course the complete omission of our queen Heather Donahue's name anywhere on any of this. I even double-checked with her new name (she changed her name in 2020) and nothing! Anyway I'm not trying to crap on this project or anything -- I would love for a good new Blair Witch movie to happen. I just found all of the headlines extremely misleading today; twas weird. But hopefully Heather signs on for that Executive Producer title so she too can make some much deserved dollar signs FINALLY off this franchise. She deserves it. 

Charles Melton Two Times

Given the photoshoots that Charles Melton had been dropping in the build-up to Beef's return (including this very morning's new speedo snap) these two photos admittedly feel a bit tame, but we don't love Chuck for just his body. Let me say it a second time so he will mentally note this for when we eventually meet and fall in love -- I don't love you for just your body, Charles! (Do you think he bought it?) No seriously he is very very funny on Beef -- have any of you watched it yet? The reaction's been more muted than the first season but I think I actually prefer season two, to be honest, the further I get away from it. It's a grower. Speaking of... ahem. 

Pretty Pictures For Pride

The line-up for the 2026 Pride Edition of New York's NewFest has been announced today -- they're screening Gregg Araki's new movie! The one called I Want Your Sex starring Olivia Wilde and Cooper Hoffman (as well as Mason Gooding whose fine visage I have included above) which I have talked and talked and talked about with great vigor and enthusiasm. No I have not seen it yet, and yes I think this will be my first chance. (It's hitting theaters on July 31st.)  The line-up also includes Leviticus, the queer horror film that I have seen and heartily recommend -- last time I mentioned it here was when I was complaining about my inability to write about it just yet, and as you can see I haven't done that yet. That's out much sooner -- that hits theaters on June 19th. But if you're in NYC NewFest is beating that by a few weeks! Tickets are on sale right this minute so go buy some, New Yorkers! And as a reminder the "Pride Edition" of NewFest that happens at the beginning of June is the smaller version of the festival -- the larger one happens in October. But if you'd like to see everything they are screening besides the two aforementioned titles (including some Heated Rivalry goodness) hit the jump...

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

Wilson Bethel has always given off big Michael Biehn energy -- I do believe the very first time I posted about him was when they were casting the role that Biehn played in the Terminator franchise (for the forgettable movie that became Genisys) -- but I think the mustache that the Daredevil actor is sporting in this new photoshoot for Schön! magazine is ratcheting the Biehn-ness up to a whole 'nother level. Maybe it's just that I rewatched The Abyss recently...

... 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...

Today's Mood

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!

Anyway with the triple hit on my sensibilities that Arty's landed this past year -- a faggy fop in the last Downton movie, a terrifying sociopath on Daredevil, and Patrick f'ing Bateman in my beloved American Psycho: The Musical (unfortunately only in the U.K., so far) -- it's no surprise I'm quickly finding myself entrenched in the obsessed camp. And these exrtemely cheerful and adorkable photos (very Pushing Daisies!) for Bean Magazine  are only cementing that. You can read the interview at that last link, but if you just want to get oglin' you can hit the jump...
