What movie is this?

Good Morning, David Corenswet

Happy Monday or should I say happy four days until Superman comes out -- given the amount of press that WB had dragged David Corenswet and the gang through over the past month and a half I think they've earned that ownership. This latest shoot is all David, for GQ -- I haven't read it yet but you can do so right here. For our purposes this morning though we're more concerned with David looking scrumdiddlyumptious in the pictures! I mean -- a mustache? Be still my Fortress of Solitude. Hit the jump for the full shoot...

Happy 4th

I wanna see Glen Powell's flag at full mast!

Manuel Garcia-Rulfo Nine Times

When I shared the link to my Jurassic World: Rebirth review yesterday I did it alongside a nice photo of Jonathan Bailey because of course I did -- he's our reigning leading homosexual man right now! But now that that's out of the way let me step over to highlight one of the movie's smaller-roled snacks -- Mexican actor Manuel Garcia-Rulfo, who plays the daddy to a family who gets finds themselves in the unfortunate center of some scary dino-action. Manuel's been in several things I've seen before -- Widows, Murder on the Oreint Express, The Magificent Seven, A Man Called Otto (so many remakes!) -- but this was the first time I took note of him; actors almost always look great in the Jurassic movies since they're always sweaty and dirty and running around. We love sweaty and dirty and running around! And this was exactly that. So here is a 2024 photoshoot of him for GQ Mexico to lead us into another sweaty dirty Jurassic weekend; hit the jump for them all...

Everything You Ever Need To Know About Life...

... you can learn from...

Thelma & Louise (1991)

Louise: Damn, Jimmy. What'd you do, take some 

kinda pill that makes you say all the right stuff? 

Jimmy: Yeah. I'm chokin' on it.

RIP Michael Madsen. Always such a cool cat.

Obviously his iconic Tarantino work rules the roost 

but I've always adored this performance in T&L too.

Once You Go Femme...

Heads-up, horndogs -- I told you when the fine folks at Vinegar Syndrome dropped Sam Freeman and Ng Choon Ping's 2023 flick Femme (starring Nathan Stewart-Jarrett and George MacKay, seen sweatily going at it above) onto blu-ray last year. Well Pride might technically have ended a couple of days ago but we're getting one more gift in the form of VinSyn's big sale going on this week, where today and today only you can get Femme for just 15 bucks-ish. Grab it here and then maybe look around -- there's a lot on sale plus they're releasing new titles every day. I'm not making anything off of this recommendation either, except  little goodwill in a world currently without it. Oh and an excuse to post that gif up top, which is truthfully plenty for me. Here is my original review of Femme in case you never read it. Hot dirty stuff, I love it. Here is the trailer which yes I did happen to be quoted in...

Good Morning, World

To be honest I don't remember if he even had a line of dialogue (I really was only half paying attention to it) but German actor Robert Maaser very much left an impression on me last night while I watched the John Wick spin-off Ballerina and you can presumably see why here. No these gifs aren't from Ballerina -- they're from some Apple+ series called Where's Wanda ...

... from 2024 that he was on (anybody watched it?) but they drive home the point with what we're dealing with. (A Teutonic brick shithouse. That's what we're dealing with.) I liked his look in Ballerina a little better -- the ultra bleach blond buzzed hair he's rocking in it really gives him that hot villain vibe I so crave -- but he remains fully dressed in that movie: insert big boo here. BOO. Anyway hit the jump for more of this far better spectacle then...

Everybody Do the Dinosaur

What, you thought I'd link to my review of the new Jurassic movie with a picture from the movie itself? Hell no! I'm reposting a photo of actor Jonathan Bailey -- see the rest of the shoot here -- because I know what the people want. As cute as he looks in his now branded "slutty little glasses" there's no denying those arms of his. (See also yesterday morning.) And it's kinda sad that the PR campaign for this movie is about to end with it hitting theaters today so let's enjoy this while we got it. Anyway... oh right, my review! Click here to read my Pajiba review of Jurassic World: Rebirth, which is all things considered totally fun. Yes it's a wee bit too cluttered, yes it's too long, and yes its characters do a lot of dumb things to keep the plot moving. I don't care. It's not Jurassic World: Dominion, which was so bad I considered it an assault on me personally, so I left the theater this time around pretty happy and satisfied. Director Gareth Edwards crushes a couple of action scenes, and... did I mention Jonathan Bailey? I really should. Just once. 

Oh come on

Cole Doman One Time

Seeing today this adorable sexy photo on Instagram of actor Cole Doman, formerly of the very fine movies Henry Gamble's Birthday Party (hey Stephen Cone whatcha up to?) and Mutt, reminded me of two things -- one, I don't think that his 2024 movie Haze (which co-stars Sense8 hottie Brian J. Smith and which I reviewed out of Fantasia Fest last year right here) has gotten a release yet, which is a damn shame. It's a good movie! Free Haze y'all! It would've been a smart drop for a streaming service during Pride Month but oh well. Hopefully we'll hear something soon. I'll keep my ears peeled. But this also reminds me that Cole is in the cast of Kelly Reichardt's next movie The Mastermind, which stars Josh O'Connor! That'll probably be Cole's most-seen movie to date and we can't help but root for this cute talented and out indie boy who stood in front of me in line waiting for a movie last year. Oh and this also reminds me that we got a new image of Josh in The Mastermind last week (click to embiggen) and god he looks goooood:

Good Morning, World

All I have in me today is energy for Mads, stache, and pie. 

So thankfully these two pictures exist or else I'd be shit outta luck.

Garrett Wareing Seven Times

I'd like to extend the most heartfelt of thank yous to young Mr. Wareing here for giving us all something to take our minds off the world for even the briefest of moments -- the only reason it's been relatively quiet in here for the past two days is I've been fairly paralyzed by anxiety due to the state of the world... more so than usual, that is. 

But I know we're all going through it (well the decent ones anyway) so I won't belabor it since we're here to distract ourselves from it. And if you need a slightly longer distaction you can click here and see several posts of Wareing that we've posted previously, even. Or just hit the jump and lose yourself in this fresh cowboy cosplay...

A Place in Andy

I wanted to like Chloe Domont's 2023 movie Fair Play a lot because it was sold as an erotic thriller starring Alden Ehrenreich and who doesn't want that? But I ended up being pretty meh on the movie in the end, finding it neither erotic nor thrilling. It was a load of straight nonsense. But that's not stopping me from being excited about Domont's next movie because how can I not be when it stars Michelle Williams, Andrew Scott, and Daisy Edgar-Jones? It's titled A Place in Hell and Neon just picked up the rights for it -- it's already been filmed and they're calling it a “thriller following two women at a high-profile criminal law firm.” Not sure where our man Andy fits into that dynamic but I hope it involves a lack of sleeves.

I Wanna Run To Glen Powell

The trailer for Edgar Wright's remake of The Running Man -- okay I suppose we can call it a new adaptation of Stephen King's story, whatever -- has arrived and it looks like an absolute blast. I knew I was in for something special the second we saw Glen Powell smacking his tighty-whities-clad ass two times. We kept a running tally of people who got cast in this last year and the names were wild -- Colman Domingo, Josh Brolin, Michael Cera, Katy O'Brian, Lee Pace, Karl Glusman, Sean Hayes, and William H. Macy just to name the bigger names -- but the trailer mainly focuses on Glenn, Michael, Josh and of course Colman in the greatest showman role previously made iconic by Richard Dawson. And is it just me or...

... is Colman going to get a lot of comparisons to Tramell Tillman's showstopping work in the TV series Severance? That's all I could see. But lord knows I love Colman and he seems to be having a helluva time so bring it on. Everything looks hella fun actually -- this is definitely Wright bringing that sweet sweet Scott Pilgrim energy. (And the presence of Cera obviously underlines that.)  I don't think I spotted Glusman or Pace though -- do you think one of them is that masked man with the grenade? I'll have to go back and listen to the voice. Anyway watch:  

The Running Man (2025 edition) is out on November 7th.
How the hell is this not a summer movie???

Good Morning, World

Aaaacctually, now that I think about it,

good morning only to Jonathan Bailey's bicep.

Hoults Have More Fun

Although it wasn't a blow-out y'all agreed with me on last week's poll that Nicholas Hoult's new blond hair is by no means a disaster -- in fact he's totally pulling it off and as a fun summer diversion I can't say I'm not enjoying the sight. I think it makes its case as 2025's hair equivalent of Jonathan Bailey's much-memed "slutty little glasses." 

 

They Tried To Make Us See

I will admit that this is a dark way to follow my earlier post saying that we should look for light in dark days, but this one demands our attention -- on the same morning that there's a really fucking upsetting article in the NYT about how our not-esteemed President's healthcare cuts are mucking up the imminent cure for HIV I stumbled upon this video of Russell Tovey doing a reading of a famous letter by John Waters' star and downtown goddess Cookie Mueller. In it she talks about the devastation of AIDS, which would later claim her life as well. If you need a more succinct rundown on the background of Cookie than the many I've given over the years, read this wonderful piece. I think this is really the only note we can end Pride on in 2025. Be furious. We need to be furious. We need to summon the rage of those we lost, and those we will lose. They're coming for every one of us and throwing trans people under the bus isn't going to stop them from shipping a white homosexual like me to a gulag. We're in this together y'all. Make art, make violence, just scream. Scream in the motherfuckers face. Make them uncomfortable. Fucking fight y'all. Things are not okay. So dark days, yes, but we can be the light. Bright violent light if need be -- the sort of light that snuffs out the darkness in a explosion of itself.
