--- Yo Joe - The little boy from the first Jurassic Park, Joseph Mazzello, has been getting quite a few little parts lately now that's he grown into a handsome young man, and he just got cast in the GI Joe sequel. And his name is Joe! That's nuts! Anyway are they even bothering with any girls this time around? Channing and Joe and The Rock and Ray Stevenson and sexy bitch Byung-hun Lee. Beefcake on top of beefcake! Which sounds about right. That's how I played with my GI Joes at least.--- And speaking of Jurassic Park, yes Steven Spielberg confirmed the push for a fourth film at Comic Con and yes they're saying it could be in the next two years. But it's not really anymore news then we heard a couple months ago. so I'm sitting on my hands til real concrete stuffs comes out like, I dunno, the movie itself. No more yanking me around! (Riiiight, this will last.)
--- Pro Dentata - Over at The Film Experience Robert crafted a wonderful ode to the 2009 vaginal horror flick Teeth, which I need to rewatch right soon. Why hasn't Jess Weixler gotten more work off off that movie? She's so good in it! Or hey what about young buck Hale Appleman? He's so hot in that!
--- Dead Man Walking - Frank Darabont has quit his job running AMC's The Walking Dead. Sadness! According to him he wasn't quite prepared for the demands of a day-to-day TV show after being a movie-maker for so long, but there's been a lot of drama behind the scenes of that show since the start. The first season was wobbly so I dunno what this might mean, good or bad, up or down, for the second season which starts in October. Guess we'll have to wait and see (says Mr. Obvious).--- Royale With Cheese - Astonishing Stacie Ponder wrote up some thoughts on a bunch of Asian horror flicks the other day, including her first time with Battle Royale and Audition! Now that's a kick-ass two-fer.
--- Skin Tagged - Also via Twitch is the full trailer for Pedro Almodovar's The Skin I Live In, which I would set fire to the Statue of Liberty in order to see right a screening of this second.
--- Damme Hot - I know he's a crazy weirdo, but Jean Clauda Van Damme's gotten himself all beefed up for The Expendables sequel as you can see there (via) and I can't help but gawk again. I know there won't be, they never even got Always-Shirtless Jason Statham out of his top for the first one, but I'd kill for one more look at JCVD's greatest asset.--- Speaking of Statham, Crank 3 will supposedly be made with or without him in it, says Efren Ramirez who was in both of the earlier films too. I can't imagine Statham not making the third film. God I love these movies. They're so ridiculous.
--- Let's Go Leviathan - Robert Zemeckis has finally decided to step the hell away from those dead-eyed monsters he'd been forcing us to stare at movie after movie and making something with real human beings, plus sea monsters! I guess the massive flop heard round the galaxy, Mars Needs Moms, drove the point home finally. The new project is called Here There Be Monsters and it may or may not be a project he does in the near future, but it sounds cool on paper. I've been jonesing for a giant monster movie renaissance for some time!
--- One Lopsided Triangle - Emma Stone might be re-teaming with her Zombieland director for Gangster Squad, which would make her the moll caught between her Crazy Stupid Love co-star Ryan Gosling and Sean Penn, which eww. Is there even a whiff of a choice there? I mean really.
--- Re Masked - Have you guys gone over to the Facebook page for Before the Mask, the prequel to the wonderful slasher flick Behind the Mask, yet? They're raising funds from fans in all sorts of neat-o ways, including offering up - for a price, natch - the opportunity to be killed on-screen! How rad is that? it's beyond my meager budget unfortunately, but man that is cool. You can also win a telephone call from the slasher himself, Nathan Baesel, who was so good in the first film. But they don't say if it can be a phone sex call or not. I'll just assume that's a yes. The director Scott Glosserman talks about this and more over at STYD.--- Inn July - Twitch posted a couple of reviews worth checking out today. I loved their take on Miranda July's The Future. I had so much fun writing my review but it was vague in a lot of ways. On purpose, but still. So I don't think I made it clear how much darker this movie is than her first film Me and You and Everyone We Know. And despite is rep MAYAEWK was no walk in the park. Anyway I love this movie more and more the further I get from it. It's out this weekend in limited release! See it!
--- And finally, my bud Sean wrote a Spider-Man comic! That is so cool! Conrgats, Sean!

--- A New Midnight - The third book in Clive Barker's Abarat series will for sure be out in September, says Mr. Barker himself. It's called Absolute Midnight
. It's been listed on Amazon for then for awhile so I guess he's just making we know for sure for sure here. I might have to go back and read the first two volumes, my memory's pretty vague on it at this point. The last one came out several years ago. It's a good series though. Now that I've finished A Dance With Dragons I've picked Barker's Imajica
back up, which is also great.--- One Million Movie March - If you haven't been you oughta be keeping up with Glenn's epic journey through the Melbourne International Film Festival - he's seeing like 30 thousand movies over the course of it's couple weeks and writing up his thoughts over at Stale Popcorn. Of movies I haven't yet seen but am dying to see he's already seen Meloncholia and Martha Marcy May Marlene and The Innkeepers, amongst others. Jealous.
--- Two For Hugh - Two bits of Hugh Jackman news - he's apparently pretty much set to star in the movie version of Les Miz, and it's about time he made a movie musical wouldn't you say? Even if I have very little interest in seeing this I can say that all the same. And secondly, he's revealed who the villain will be in the second Wolverine movie. I guess it's a spoiler but we'll probably hear all about whoever gets cast when it happens so I doubt anybody will be able to avoid this news for too long.--- Frat Boys - Seth Rogen and Zac Efron are teaming up for a fraternity-themed R-rated comedy, says Deadline. Somebody's balls better end up on somebody's chin, is all I gotta say.
--- Head Go Boom - Alexandre Aja is going to produce a TV series based on David Cronenberg's 1981 telekinesis classic Scanners? This is what awesome sounds like.

--- Betting On Braga - I say this every time I link to one of these but man I love Craig's Take Three series at The Film Experience. He always manages to make me think about performers that I either don't give enough thought to personally or don't hear other people mention often enough. His latest is on Alice Braga. She was great in Predators; much better than that movie knew what to do with.

--- Swimming With Fassy - Michael Fassbender has joined every other Irishman actor in existence in the cast of Brendan Gleeson's adaptation of Flann O’Brien’s 1939 novel At-Swim-Two-Birds
. I am not familiar with this novel, but here's the world's briefest description:"The story follows a teenage student who populates his creative writing with important characters from his own life."
Has anyone read the book? I should read it probably, shouldn't I? The way all the articles speak of it I feel ashamed not being familiar with it actually. Me = flop.
--- Speaking o' Fassy, have you ever wondered what it'd be like to have sex with him? HA what a question. Well over at FF Simone points us in the direction of a burlesque performer's NSFW blog entry about her day spent shooting a (simulated, duh) threesome sex scene with him for the film Shame, his reunion with Hunger director Steve McQueen. Point of lurid interest:
"our scenes with Michael were totally intense! I'll just say that whoever he is dating (I heard its Zoe Kravitz), is most definitely not disappointed with his...er, manliness."
I mean, anybody who's seen Hunger knows this already (link NSFW), but it's always a welcome reminder.
--- Ze Plane - Apparently there was word via Twitter (a tweet which has since been deleted, so who knows) over the weekend that Dominic Cooper had joined the cast of a Hervé Villechaize bio-pic, which is starring Peter Dinklage (who looks nothing like Hervé, height aside). It's called My Dinner With Hervé and Cooper's apparently playing a journalist who interviews the Fantasy Island star about his life, which probably had more to it than shouting, "Ze plane, ze plane!" for a couple of years, right?--- Crazy Girl - I'd pretty much given up on bothering with seeing John Carpenter's The Ward, the reviews were so foul and Im so tired of watching the great horror directors losing this grip, but now that Pax has admitted to some appreciation for the film (save the ending, which apparently everyone agrees is most foul of all) I'm feeling more inclined than I had been.
--- Planet of the Rapes - James Franco would like you to know that he's not a gay rapist, thank you very much.--- Eyes Wide Shout - Glenn tells us all the movies he's seeing over the course of the Melbourne International Film Festival over the next couple of weeks. 59 movies! Egads. Bets of luck, man. That sounds painful. I mean, he's seeing all sorts of awesomeness - most jealous over Lars Von Trier's Meloncholia and Ti West's The Innkeepers, probably - so that'll help presumably. But that's a lot of stimuli for that amount of time.
--- Hour of the Wolf - Arbogast looks back at Brotherhood of the Wolf which is apparently ten years old - god that makes me feel old, that movies I saw here in NYC are having 10 year anniversaries now - and which I need to revisit myself having not seen it since.
--- Solar Flair - It's nothing new really if you're familiar with the books but in an interview at AICN with James Purefoy (mmm James Purefoy) they got him to talk a little bit about his character in John Carter (have they renamed it just JC yet?) and what the filming was like. A little bit."The character is called Kantos Kahn and he is the admiral of the Xavarin, which is a gigantic sort of ship. But in the John Carter world, these ships fly through the air and are powered by solar panels, so they go very, very fast when it’s very, very sunny, and they slow down a little bit when it’s cloudy."
There is more than that if you click over; I just liked that random comment - obviously this will play into the story at some point given in lieu of much more about his character. Oh he's a dude whose ship goes too slow sometimes. Acting!
