Ooh I just realized that Dominic Cooper ought to be doing all kinds of press over the next couple of weeks, what with Captain America out today (my review) and The Devil's Double out in just another week. Hooray! I'll have to be diligent and keep up with whatever there is. Perhaps a nude layout? Oh, but to dream. There's an interview with him in the NYT today (thanks Mac!) on his dual role as Uday Hussein and his doppelganger bodyguard and this bit stuck out:
"Whether people respond to the film or not, it certainly lets them see another aspect of what I can do rather than prancing around on a beach singing."
I'm up for seeing every single side of you, Dominic Cooper. Every last angle. Bring it on! But keep prancing. I like it when you prance. Just keep making the swim-suits smaller and smaller while you do the prancing and we'll be fine. And somewhere just now, Meryl Streep has released the hounds.

--- Spy's Guys - Naomie Harris, the plucky lass so good in 28 Days Later, is Miss Moneypenny in the next James Bond film, which is great cuz we like her, but even better is word that Javier Bardem and Ralph Fiennes are pretty much locked in. Anyway I am going to have to demand a three-way between them and Daniel Craig. Demand! Wedge it in the plot somehow. They always find time for sexiness with James Bond somewhere. Maybe they can do it while on a helicopter that's on fire falling towards the ocean. Alright, where's my screenwriter credit?
--- Killa Thrilla - I haven't linked to the new trailer for Final Destination 5 yet because I heard it gives away absolutely everything to the movie from start to finish, and I ain't playin that. But with that in mind, if you don't care, click over and watch it. I'm holding out though. Just a little over a month to go!

--- Whites Of His Eyes - Huge thanks to Bob Turnbull for cluing me in to this gallery he arranged of some incredible super-subtle gifs from several movies. The one from Full Metal Jacket is the stuff of nightmares. Stare at this for a minute:
--- Barely Bear Jew - Eli Roth says he's still working on the script for Endangered Species, his end-of-the-world movie, yadda yadda, same bullshit for years now. So very tired, Eli. So tired.
. 
--- And finally, we want to wish Jarett at PopWrap the fondest of farewells. He closed up the site earlier this week and the internet's already been the poorer for it. He's off to the West Coast and we miss him already.

The Boogens (1981)
I wish three weeks worth of world tours and other things hadn't gotten between me and my memories of the wonder that is Tony the Dog in The Boogens, because I know I had plenty upon him to say... but it's all seeming sort of foggy. Just know that he was who I was rooting for to outlive everyone in the face of the mine-mutant apocalypse, and his death was met with excessive sadness. He proved himself a wily foe time and time again, escaping the Boogens' clutches, and I really thought he might make it. Add in the fact that he was far and above the most likable presence in the film, who was constantly being belittled and unloved by those around him, and it's a downright travesty.
He was also, and I say this with no hint of exaggeration, the finest animal actor ever captured onto celluloid in the entire history of cinema. You can get a clue of all he can emote above, but bear in mind that this movie cost twelve dollars to make and several of his sequences - yes, he has several - are simply a camera pointed at him following him around while he does a full script's page of tasks - in one unbroken take he'll jauntily romp around the house, go into the bedroom, open up the closet door, grab a pair of shoes, throw them and himself up onto the bed with wild abandon, and proceed to go bonkers with the shredding. And I believed every second of it! I'd like to see Meryl Streep be so convincing. Somebody take back Meryl's Oscar for Sophie's Choice - Tony was robbed!!!
