Unless they wander into straight-up cos-play pornography I don't know that they'll top that shot that they released yesterday of Andy's be-costumed bum for sheer awesomeness ever, but I do find this picture of Garfield and Chris Zylka as the school bully Flash Thompson (a character that was played in the first Sam Raimi movie by Joe "Big Man" Manganiello!) pretty amusingly corny.
It looks like something out of Archie Comics somehow doesn't it? (Oh my god I loved that live-action Archie TV movie.) Not that there's anything wrong with that necessarily - Spidey's always been silly, and these new pictures are seeming very silly. They did mention they were going "darker" in tone at one point though, and these make me question that. Anyway see a few more pictures at this link.

I don't normally post preview clips from anything, but I've got to make an exception for this bit from this upcoming Sunday's episode of True Blood because good god. I think you'll excuse the lapse.

It must be so weird to be one of the guys from True Blood. Or any pop culture sex symbol, really - I'm sure they get laid pretty regularly, so not weird bad obviously, but the way they themselves seem to guide this TV Guide interview towards talk of cock-socks and homoerotic bonding makes you realize how aware they are of their audience and how willing they are to exploit it... it being themselves. At least they're not assholes about it and seem to be having fun. Here's my favorite bit:
TV GUIDE MAGAZINE: Joe, when you came in on the third season, was there an initiation?JOE: The new guy on a show can feel like an outsider. There can be egos and things like that. But Anna was completely friendly, welcoming. Still, the guys won't let me make eye contact.STEPHEN: I make him get on his knees so we're eye-to-eye.JOE: But I guess the initiation would be wearing the "sock" [a wardrobe item that protects an actor's modesty in a nude scene].ALEX: I put it on him. [Laughs] Someone had to show him, you know?

(via) Better yet, lick his chops please. Can't really blame Matty for being unable to keep his tongue in his mouth with Joe "Big Man" Manganiello strutting about on the White Collar set, anyway. And in a sexy blue collar jumpsuit no less. Ooh I see a spin-off: Blue Collar, starring the Big Man! It's not like he even shows up on True Blood, ever. He can wear a different Village People costume every week! This is brilliant. Somebody get me Hollywood on the phone, pronto!

Joe "Big Man" Manganiello is going to be guest-starring on White Collar next season as a bad guy who brings Matty Bomer inevitably stylish and sexy trouble. And a million slash-fics were born!

--- Here & Back Again - EW has our first look at The Hobbit, y'all! Three pictures, including Tim I mean Martin Freeman as Young Bilbo. I wish some friendly lady hobbit down the way was being played by Lucy Davis, I must say. Tim and Dawn forever!--- And speaking of Office-flavored things, as well as small-sized folk, the teaser trailer for Ricky Gervais and Stephen Merchant's new BBC2 series called Life's Too Short - about the "life" of Warwick Davis, famed little person - can be seen over at Twitch! The show's only begun filming and won't air til next year, but this tide us over til then I suppose.
--- Roll In The Hay - I just want to take this opportunity to thank Entertainment Weekly with all my "heart" for using this week's trilogy of covers to gift me with the fantasy of Joe Manganiello as a rugged, dumb farmhand wearing nothing but loose overalls. This will come in handy several times in the future, of this I have no doubt.--- Crazy States - Glenn's review of Ken Russell's Altered States over at Stale Popcorn is quite possibly the most spot-on, "Yup, that about sums it all up!" review of Altered States ever written. God I love that movie.
--- Bush Whackers - BD has a few more details on the third flick from Oren Peli, director of Paranormal Activity, which is about Nature getting its revenge in the wake of a radioactive disaster. Or something. Sounds kind Long Weekend
-y to me?
-y to me?--- The Owls Are Not What They Seem - If you heard about that JK Rowling website Pottermore the other day and are curious still what the hell it is, watch this video at PopWrap where Rowling comes clean. Sounds fun, says the nerd!
--- New Statham Joint - A trailer for a Jason Statham movie without a shot of a shirtless Jason Statham in it is like a unicorn with its legs sawed off bleating for the bullet to end its pathetic life. Just sad! That said, in the trailer for his latest movie called Killer Elite (so 1994 straight-to-video) that murky underwater shot seen there to the left could be Jason, I suppose, the trailer implies it to be him, so we'll give it a pass until we inevitably watch the movie while folding laundry one future Saturday afternoon and find out if so. But what we will never forgive is the fact that Statham and Clive Owen are in a movie together and it's not a love story full of sweaty torrid liaisons.--- Stone's Pride - Rumors abound that Emma Stone might be taking the lead in Pride and Prejudice and Zombies, which for a long while was a role that lay in Natalie Portman's delicate fingertips. I like it, but then I like the idea of Emma Stone taking any part. Every part! (Well except Mrs. Andrew Garfield. Lay off, lady! He's mine!)

--- Wax Off - Hey look Stephen Dorff took his top off for a new Immortals poster! Check out the whole thing over at Stale Popcorn. I'm with Glenn - this is great and all but it's basically SACRILEGIOUS that his chest is shaved. Stephen Dorff's chest hair should be granted historical landmark status and anyone who comes within reach of it should be immediately thrown into prison. Do not pass Go!--- Hi Hos - The names attaching themselves to the cast of dwarfs in Snow White and the Huntsman read like a Who's Who of Kick-Ass Character Actors - Eddie Izzard, Bob Hoskins, Ray Winstone, Toby Jones, Eddie Marsan, Ian McShane, and Stephen Graham just so far! I think they should cast Peter Dinklage next and then shrink everybody else down so he's the biggest one of the lot, is what I think.
--- Ghosts Busted - Looks like James Wan is hoping to double-down with his Insidious success and direct another haunted house movie next - AICN's got the word on The Conjuring, which is based off "true events" in Long Island. Mmmhmm. Just hire Patrick Wilson again and I'll believe anything.
--- Forward To Fall - At TFE Nat's got some whispers coming at him from screenings of My Week With Marilyn and the Madonna-directed W.E. I don't so much care about the latter - although if nothing else Madonna's always been excellent at surrounding herself with talented folks and it's got a pretty great cast, so we'll see - but I'm dying to get a look at My Week With Marilyn and the picture of some of the cast at that link - Williams and Dominic Cooper, specifically! - ramps up my excitement further. (DOM.)--- Out Foxxed - Quentin Tarantino's worked plenty of miracles in the past so I can't quite force myself to doubt him, but if Jamie Foxx is indeed now cast as the lead in Django Unchained he's making it very very hard for me. Foxx has never been anything less than eye-gougingly annoying to me in the past, so you'll have to work some fucking magic here, QT.
--- Rimming Elba - Meanwhile the dude that would've been a far less terrifying choice for that role is Idris Elba, but he's just officially signed on for Guillermo Del Toro's Pacific Rim opposite the Charlies Hunnam and Day.
--- True Titillation - All the menfolk of True Blood seem to be making their media-rounds with the premiere of the 4th season only a few days away, which translates into "all the men-folk of True Blood be taking their shirts off," hooray! There's Stephen Moyer in Men's Health via JJ, and did I really never post the pictures of Joe Manganiello in GQ? I don't know how that's possible. Anyway click that link for 'em.--- Jerri Blank Returns! - Yeah I wish. I missed this so bless Jarett's heart for posting the video of Amy Sedaris on Letterman last night. Why must it be so hard to get new Amy? Want more! I can only skim through her books and laugh at the funny pictures of her in nylons so many times! Alright that's a lie they will never stop being funny.

A note: Remember how Blogger went down last week, and all the posts I wrote on Thursday disappeared? Well Blogger's finally returned several (though not all of them, yet) of them to my saved pile, but not republished them at the appropriate in-the-past place. I'm too distracted today to figure out when they were originally scheduled, and also all the comments y'all made on them are gone now anyway, so I'm just gonna republish each one right now. So yes, you've seen these stories before, and yes they are nearly a week old. Let's do the time warp, et cetera...
.
--- Swamp Sweat - The first clip with actual footage from the fourth season of True Blood is online and you can watch it at PopWrap. And yes, as you can see there to the ?, they are highlighting their finer points.--- And speaking of the finer things on True Blood, Alexander Skarsgard has joined the cast of a movie where he will be married to Julianne Moore. I want to watch them make out.
--- No Escape - John Carpenter's The Ward is getting dumped released on VOD on June 8th. It'll then get chucked into a couple of theaters on July 8th. It is supposedly awful. Dammit, John. I'll watch it at some point no doubt, but just dammit.
--- We Need To Talk About We Need To Talk About Kevin - I mention all this in the comments of the post I'm about to link to, but I started reading Lionel Shriver's book We Need To Talk About Kevin last night and the ol' cliche came true - I couldn't put it down! I lay there til my exhausted eyes ached, completely and immediately sucked right in. Shriver's writing is wonderful. Anyway over at The Film Experience Nat's talking about the reviews coming out of Cannes today for the film adaptation with Tilda Swinton, and how he's staying away from those clips that came out earlier this week. Me too!--- Block Busted - I'll be in Italy when these happen so I'm gonna miss it - and I'm not that unhappy about missing it since I will be in motherfucking Italy - but that "British kids fighting aliens" movie Attack the Block that's got every blogger from here to thither foaming at the mouth over it is screening in 25 cities on May 25th. Find out more at that link. Word is that it won't be out in the US for real until Fall.
--- Hard For Hammer - You can hear a few thoughts from screenwriter Dustin Lance Black on the subject of his latest politically minded movie, J. Edgar, over here. This bit was up my alley:"Leo knocked it out of the park. He worked incredibly hard, he devoured research quicker than I could produce it, and he’s one of the best actors we have. And I love Armie. He’s a great guy, a real rising star, and he’s not hard to look at either."
--- And finally, it's a fairly lengthy piece but it's really all sorts of wonderful - here's Alexander Chee talking about what the X-Men meant to him thirty-five years ago growing up bi-racial, and what they mean now in the world we live in.
