Yes, as teased in my previous post I went and saw the 10 anniversary celebration of David Wain's Wet Hot American Summer hosted by Stella (Michael Showalter, Wain and Michael Ian Black, as seen above) in Brooklyn last night, and I took some pictures and some videos to share, hooray! Let's get right to the good stuff.

The above video is thirty seconds of five people fondling sweaters while being cursed at, and if you don't get that then you should probably stop reading this now.
Michael Showalter and Marguerite Moreau,
doing their awkward thing.
There be Janeane Garofalo, telling all the Jews in the audience that they'll have their pick of shoes when the Rapture comes. She was wearing a pillowcase. Unfortunately she never did her moose (mousse) impersonation.
On the left there is Gideon Jacobs who played Aaron, the little boy that Molly Shannon falls in love with. He got some lusty whoops for growing up good. Beside him is Gabriel Millman, who played the caped boy (the one with the twenty sided die that takes douchebag as a compliment). He did not get any lusty whoops.
In the right-hand picture Showalter's doing his Alan Shemper shtick. Cavemen thought I was old, arrr, et cetera.
That's adorable AD Miles, who played Gary (the one who keeps hearing Christopher Meloni's bizarre comments), interviewing Can Of Vegetables. (Can of Vegetables as voiced by H. Jon Benjamin, otherwise known as Sterling Archer, my cartoon sex crush.)
And finally, we have Ken Marino and Marisa Ryan in character as the boastful virgin Victor and the gum-snapping slut Abby. If you've got a thing for Ken Marino's legs then this was must-see. Oh and he sang "Danny's Song" which happens memorably in the movie! Which you can watch right here!

That is one of the best things ever. There were videos from several of the no-shows - Amy Poehler's character is apparently now a costume designer on a semi-animated film exclusively for Hulu, while Paul Rudd reenacted his tray-smashing routine for Judd Apatow. They showed a couple of audition tapes too - Bradley Cooper being kind of terrible, Amy Poehler hitting it out of the park from word one, and Naomi Watts (!!!) reading for the part that Marguerite Moreau got in a terribly sleazy-seeming video that felt like the opening scene from a lost 80s porn.

... you can learn from:
Wet Hot American Summer (2001)
Lindsay (Elizabeth Banks): What 'cha doing?Andy (Paul Rudd): Writing in my gournal.I write my thoughts in it every day.Lindsay: Oh, you mean a journal?Andy: Yeah, whatever. I guess I'm not all smart like you.
Can you believe that WHAS has been out ten whole years today? I've seen this movie a dozen times over and oh how we laugh and laugh. Of memories past and wonderful things. There's a nice little commemorative post over at The Film Experience. There was supposed to be a cast-studded party in Brooklyn in honor of the film's anniversary last night but it got pushed to next week, but I'll be there! I hope Paul Rudd's there in just his Andy costume.
Or perhaps Bradley Cooper and Michael Ian Black can reenact
their most famous and tender lovemaking for us?
their most famous and tender lovemaking for us?

Or maybe Chris Meloni will hump a fridge!

I will die if that happens in front of me.

I sorta figured when I posted about it this morning that we'd have more info right quick with regards to Christopher Meloni's role in Zach Snyder's Superman movie, but I figured hey, we don't get enough reasons to post pictures of Meloni's days on Oz nearly as much as we'd like to these days so I'll stretch this shit out into as many posts as I can just so I can post more shots like above. There is and probably never will be a shortage of images of Meloni like that from that show, bless its sick little heart. Anyway, he's clarified his role in Man of Steel a bit, via Vulture:
"Don't let the bald head fool you: Christopher Meloni, the latest star linked to Zack Snyder's Superman movie Man of Steel, will not be playing villain Lex Luthor (as some online fans have speculated). When Vulture caught up with the now ex–Law & Order: SVU star at the Public Theater Gala earlier this week, he told us he'd be instead playing a general in the movie. But when we pressed for more information about the role, he said, "I can't tell you, or I'd have to kill you." We did manage to learn that he starts filming at the end of August and he'll shoot his part over the course of five months in locations including Chicago, Vancouver, and Edwards Air Force Base."
.

--- Return To Oz - Chris Meloni is apparently up for "a major role" in Zach Snyder's Superman movie. We don't know what that role is yet, although if he signs on I'm guessing we'll hear soon. There's speculation he could be Lex Luthor, or perhaps Perry White. I guess Snyder need someone willing to make out with dudes and moon the audience for his Superman movie? That'd make it different than previous incarnations, for sure.--- Toy Boxed - I'm really hoping that Tom Hanks was just talking out of his ass when he mentioned the possibility of a fourth Toy Story movie, because that is a terrible idea.It would be a terrible idea even in the wake of Cars 2 - the Toy Story franchise wrapped up just fine already in the third film. Just make the damned Incredibles sequel already, you fools!
--- Slim Jim - I've been meaning to give some love to Jim Sturgess for a few months now but keep forgetting, so I'll take that attractive new photo of him in his new rom-com-of-sorts with Anne Hathaway (via PopWrap) as the chance to make it up momentarily. I'd never seen him in anything until I watched his odd Gaiman-y London-based horror-flick Heartless
- before that he never jumped out of pictures at me, but once you actually see him in motion I discovered his appeal. And he is very appealing.--- Rocco To Rebel - Nat's updated the schedule for his "Hit Me With Your Best Shot" series, which is always a treat - upcoming films include some Visconti & Delon, some Aliens, and some Jimmy Dean.
--- Bad Andy - Just in time for tennis season, Joe's posted a ranking of the hotness of the 16 dudes at Wimbledon. Scanning through it the first time this morning I missed that it was ranking the people still playing and got all defensive about the lack of Andy Roddick, but Andy already blew it I guess. Well even if he sucks, I'll take this chance to exploit him at least. (As a sidenote though, I'm getting a little obsessed with Feliciano Lopez these days, so he might start popping up post-wise.)--- New Flesh - Over at Stale Popcorn Glenn's taking a look at three grand ol' flicks, slapping Cronenberg around with Vivien Leigh, mounting Eisenstein with Debbie Harry, to delightful effect.
--- Rescue Rosario - I worry for Rosario Dawson. She should be getting better work. She is a delight, yet somehow she's stuck in third tier parts in Kevin James comedies. The horror. Good news: she's just signed on for a lead role in an indie drama called Fire With Fire. Bad news: from the description at that link it sounds like it's much more the male lead's film, and the male lead is played by Josh Duhamel, which... well he's pretty. And he's playing a fireman here, so that'll be some fantasy fuel. But that only marginally makes up for the probable sidelining of Rosario. Unless there's a scene like this one from Backdraft. Then all bets are off.)--- And finally, Spike Jonze's Scenes From the Suburbs is online! Watch it here (via) - and I recommend expanding it to full-screen. I personally haven't finished watching it yet, though I've only gotten about 10 minutes in so far and will have to finish it tonight.
