Jonathan Bailey Three Times

To make it up to Jonny for focusing solely on David Corenswet's crotch in their conjoined interview this morning (although if anybody gets it, Jonny gets it I think) here are three new and deeply hot pictures of him via Wonderland magazine! There are more photos over there including several very sultry shots of him with his queer Wicked co-star Cynthia Erivo -- having had wonderful relationships with many lesbians over the years those pictures give me a special feeling. It's an underappreciated bond, that one. It's part of why the relationship between Melissa McCarthy & Richard E. Grant's characters in Can You Ever Forgive Me? felt so profound -- movies never focus on those friendships! And personally they're some of my most cherished. There's something very particular, specific, and wonderful about those bonds. Make more movies about us, please! Anyway my point is -- Jonny make'ah me drool. 

Billy Got Me Buzzin

Okay I thought this news sounded familiar so I went and checked and yes, I posted about it back in October -- but whatever, writing about it again allows me to post that photo of Billy Magnusson flexing in scrubs that he shared on his Insta earlier. Everybody wins. And it is an update on said earlier news -- we previously told you that Billy was going to star in the next horror-comedy from Suitable Flesh director Joe Lynch, which made us very happy because Suitable Flesh kicked ass (see my review right here.) It kicked ass and also -- Lynch showed a fine proclivity for getting his two sexy leading men (in that case Johnathon Schaech and Judah Lewis) outta their scrubs. The new movie is called Buzzkill and it's got a delightful fun plot which I'll allow Deadline to summarize:

"... billed as a monster movie with a boozy twist, Magnussen plays Sheriff Red, who while recently widowed and struggling with drinking too much, launches an investigation as townspeople begin turning up murdered and dismembered. He soon discovers that a horrifying creature is stalking the town — and can only be seen by the inebriated. With the annual brewery festival approaching and the entire town preparing for a weekend of heavy drinking, Red must confront his demons to save his town."

The new news that Deadline is sharing is the movie is indeed going forward as Bleecker Street Films have picked up the rights, and it'll be shooting in Texas at the start of next year for a 2027 drop. Oh and an actor named Lulu Wilson is splaying Billy's daughter (Billy enters DILF-land, huzzah!) -- Wilson has previously been seen in small roles in a couple of Mike Flanagan series on Netflix along with the films Becky and its sequel The Wrath of Becky, which... I have heard of? For some reason? I don't know why. Anybody familiar with the Becky-verse?

What movie is this?

Good Morning, World

Well that oughta wake you right up. I mean no offense to Jonathan Bailey -- the above photo was taken for Variety's "Actors on Actors" interview session that featured Jonny and David Corenswet chatting, which I told you about last week and which you can weatch down below -- but David's people did a better job than Jonny's getting The Photo of the spread. Emphasis on Spread! (Yeah yeah you had to see that one coming.) 

Anyway if you can believe it I haven't watched this video yet!

WTF is wrong with me? Stone me in the town square toot suite!

Russell Tovey Ten Times

Any Dr. Who people in the house? What do Dr. Who fans call themselves anyway? Are they Whovians? That seems very close to the people of Whoville in Dr. Suess to me but hey go off. Anyway obviously I don't know my Whos from my elbow or a hole in the ground so needless tp say no, I did not watch the new spin-off starring he of the golden ears, Russell Tovey. But perhaps one of you fine people would like to fill me in on it. I promise to listen politely, and then probably forget it all. But hey we got this new ICON El Pais magazine photoshoot (via) out of it! Some of the clothes and the styling is hella goofy, but for every ounce of goofiness there's an equal dose of skin and/or sluttiness, so we'll take it. Hit the jump for the full shoot...

Matt Keeslar Says What

No no no baby! I ain't been ignoring you! I promise. I've just been trying to get some off-blog stuff done this Monday -- one of which was sending out holiday cards (zzzz) and the other much more exciting thing was I have been listing tons and tons and more tons of movies onto eBay for sale. I spent all day yesterday on one of my pruning jags, making space for new movies by getting rid of older ones -- anyway check the eBay out if you're interested in buying some movies from me. And yes there are two, count 'em two, Gregg Araki movies listed. Also a couple of Criterion box-sets and a heap of Jake Gyllenhaal movies that I'm upgrading to 4K. Good shit to stuff yer stockings with!

Good Morning, World

I've stated this a few different places now but I'm saving Heated Rivalry and Boots -- aka the two big gay shows of this televisual autumn -- to watch during my nearly two week break over Christmas. So no I have yet to see or understand the context in which these shots of our beloved François Arnaud can be seen in his little black underpants in the former series, meaning the gigantic hockey asses one. Knowing these gifs exist though, well I had to post them. But sans spoilers why don't y'all tell me what you're thinking of this show? And Boots for that matter? Will I be having the horniest holiday on record or what? I'm excited! In all its definitions!

Today's Mood

Five Nights at Freddy's 2 in 250 Words or Less

Just when you thought movies couldn't get worse than the first Five Nights at Freddy's was, along some the sequel to say "Wait hold up just a goddamned second you say you want one hundred of your minutes ripped violently out of your life with no recourse? We gotcha covered!" Well guess what, Five Nights at Freddy's 2 -- I became a movie critic just so I could have recourse, bitch! Small satisfaction, sure, but hey it's something. The thing that's so annoying about this franchise is the idea is fun and the animatronic monsters are superbly designed (thank you Jim Henson's Creature Shop) and I keep thinking they'll do something with this. Director Emma Tammi even made a wonderful horror movie called The Wind back in 2018. But these movies are so absurdly tedious, so deathly dull, so flat and ugly and boring and offensively dumb, I refuse to believe there's even anybody standing behind the camera. I could be convinced the camera was set up inside an abandoned Chuck E. Cheese, turned on by a breeze, and then just left there to capture whatever. Gently drifting spiderwebs would be more fascinating. These movies are cruel and vulgar tricks -- some real Lucy-yanking-the-football shit. And they didn't even give the Killer Cupcake anything to do in this one! Fuck outta here.

Timmys On Parade

Mr. Chalamet has been very kind sharing cute pictures of himself on social media the past several days as we storm towards the Marty Supreme release on Christmas Day (including a couple of ultra adorable ones with his new puppy!) and so I figured I'd round us up a quartet of them for our Timmy-ogling pleasure. My review of MS will be landing closer to its release but as I said on Bluesky when the social embargo broke -- he'd get my vote for Best Actor this year. I know he drives a lot of you nuts with his personal life nonsense et cetera but MNPP is firmly and probably forever ensconsed in the Pro-Timmy camp. The boy is just too fuckin' talented, dammit. Hit the jump for the rest of these photos...

Movie Posters Ahoy

Mubi Notebook published their annual list of the year's greatest movie posters today -- see it right here -- and I can't argue with anything! Especially since I ran out and bought a couple of the ones they listed the minute they went on sale or were available. Unfortunately (as far as I'm aware) the above poster for Yorgos Lanthimos' Bugonia (from noted genius Vasilis Marmatakis) has not been widely printed -- I have the one that was and I love it but I love this one even more. Same goes for Desi Moore's gorgeous poster for Mike Leigh's masterpiece Hard Truths, seen down below -- I've been looking for a couy of that since last fall to no avail. The other ones I have from that list are the original Eddington poster (which I prefer to the one they cite), Daniel Clowes' poster for the Telluride Fest this year (I didn't go to the fest but I had to own that poster) and the one for Hong Sangsoo’s movie By the Stream, which is a visual I completely fell in love with on first sight. I'm also super close to biting the bullet on the poster for Radu Jude's Dracula because it's made out of meat! How can you not be in love with meat? Anyway -- Yay posters! I love them so. Do y'all have any faves not mentioned?

Five Frames From ?

What movie is this? 

Good Morning, World

I have of course posted this iconic, fetish-defining moment of Jean-Claude Van Damme's in Bloodsport here on the site before -- with a few more gifs, see 'em here --but this week's news that several of JCVD's classics are hitting 4K early next year got me reminiscing. Unfortunately Bloodsport is not among them -- even the blu-ray is out of print! Don't they get it -- the people demand the above shot in 4K dammit! You'll be printing money! Anyway the one I'm genuinely considering buying, which is probably the worst one of them all truth be told, is Double Impact where he plays twins. It just doesn't get much more 80s-trashy than that movie, and I love it so. 

Everything You Ever Need To Know About Life...

 ... you can learn from:

Macbeth (2015)

Macbeth: Tomorrow, and tomorrow, and tomorrow creeps in this petty pace from day to day to the last syllable of recorded time. And all our yesterdays have lighted fools the way to dusty death.

Wanna know whose movies need to start getting 4K upgrades like yesterday? Justin fuckin' Kurzel's, that's who. This movie and True History of the Kelly Gang specifically. Both abso-fucking-lutely gorgeous movies that I need to see better dammit. Anyway Kurzel's glorious and deeply underrated version of Macbeth starring Michael Fassbender and Marion Cotillard was released ten years ago today, if you can believe that. Go re-watch it and gape in wonder at how beautiful a film it is. We need to appreciate pretty things!

Brandon Sklenar Thirteen Times

One of these days I might even bother to see Brandon Sklenar in an acting project, but for the time being I am more than happy to come across him whenever he does these beefcake photoshoots for magazines (see also) -- oh wait! I looked at his IMDb and he was the male lead in that movie Drop. I saw that. It was fine? He was fine? I don't really remember it that well which is a shame because Meghann Fahy deserves projects one remembers. Maybe he does too!

Who knows. Actually scanning down his older movies -- Vice! Mapplethorpe! Midway! -- I guess I've seen him in plenty. I guess what I mean to say is "I will never watch that Blake Lively movie where everything went haywire and I first learned his name." And that much remains true. I'll probably end up seeing The Housemaid (his next movie) just because I love Amanda Seyfried, but that very much might be a "wait for home" thing.

Anyway I'm rambling because I'm trying to type this fast as my lunch is sitting in front of me getting cold (while the rest of me gets hot due to these photos) -- these photos coming at us via Flaunt magazine; you can read the chat with him here. Or, hey even better, you can just stare at him half-naked and soaking wet -- and do I spy with my little eye... pubes??? Oh Brandon. You shouldn't have -- ten more times after the jump...

Pic of the Day

It's your daily Pillion post! Okay I doubt I can keep this up until February when the movie comes out (especially with two weeks off at the end of this month) so -- enjoy it while it lasts! A new batch of behind-the-scens photos dropped (thx Mac) and you can see them all over here. This portrait of Alexander Skarsgård in his slutty wrestling singlet is the photo of choice, because duhh. But they're all lovely because this is a really lovely looking movie. It's wild that this is Harry Lighton's very first feature film. Good for him! And if you missed the photos of the Pillion cast in person -- which is to say, my person -- that I shared yesterday, see them here. 

Comeback Still Comin' Back

I actually don't want to know too much about the forthcoming season of the world's funniest television series The Comeback, and so I'm a little annoyed this article at Variety gave up some big information about the season's plot -- if you're like me let me save you from their flappy lips and give you the little details that won't ruin anything for you: one, Andrew Scott has joined the cast! Let's be real, that's why we're here posting. Because otherwise I haven't even posted any of the funny clips that have been dropped, even though they seem to exist outside the show itself. I don't wanna see that! That said we've only only got a few more months to try and dodge all of the information that'll be swerving towards us -- the other big news drop is that HBO will be premiering the third season in March! Four months! We can survive that right? Sigh, who knows these days. And here's the first official image of our lady Cherish:
