I Am Link

On a normal day, every single one of these stories would merit their own post. All this news is that good. So pay attention to 'em all clumped together, since today is not a normal day, rather one where I am home and think I'd rather be laying on the floor. Ahhh sweet floor I have missed you.

--- One of the funniest women on the planet, Catherine O'Hara, was just cast in the lead role of crime family matriarch in Good Behavior, the TV remake of a TV show from New Zealand, being put together by Rob Thomas o' Veronica Mars. Yes, Cathy O'Hara and Rob Thomas. Together. Somebody fucking pinch me.

--- Men Enter The Hole
- More casting news on The Descent 2, and it seems we'll be getting some fellas down there this time around. Unsurprising now, in retrospect, but I will miss the all-lady angle the first one had.

--- Ewans Have More Fun
- The first picture I've seen of Ewan McGregor - a very blonde Ewan - on the set of I Love You, Phillip Morris (the prison love story he's in opposite Jim Carrey) is over at Towleroad. As is a brief description of the scene they were shooting which... sounds physical.

--- That dude from The Daily Show, Demetri Martin, has been cast as the lead in Ang Lee's Gay Hippie Movie (I'm sure Ang would be ecstatic to hear it called that, after all that "It's the Gay Cowboy Movie! No, it's the Bisexual Shepherd movie. No. Yes. No." talk surrounding Brokeback), Taking Woodstock.

--- Grade A Beef
- STYD reviews The Midnight Meat Train and say it's the best Clive Barker adaptation since Candyman. I WANT TO SEE THIS MOVIE ALREADY.

Okay. You know I love Ang Lee. Love him. Will no doubt love the new movie and I certainly can't wait for it. But after the pun-friendliness of "Brokeback Mountain" as the title of his gay cowboy movie, he's now calling his gay hippie movie "Taking Woodstock"?? I just...wow.

I LOVE Demetri Martin. Exciting.
