I Am Link

--- WWWS? - As in, what was Werner Herzog smoking when he decided to remake Bad Lieutenant with Nicholas Cage in the Harvey Keitel role? That's some weird fucking news there. I love Herzog and will follow him to the ends of the Earth... but huh? For real? I hope we can keep Nic's pee-pee out of the picture, at least, because I don't need to see that shit.

--- The Two-Eyed Woman Is Queen - Cinematical has a review from Cannes of Fernando Meirelles's film Blindness, starring Julianne Moore and Mark Ruffalo... word sounds good except for the voice-over, which doesn't surprise me - I ended up liking Saramago's book by the end but it was in spite of his style, which was a bit ham-fisted for my liking.

--- But No Soul Patches? - In honor of the cuteness-scarring beard John Krasinski's currently sporting for his role in Sam Mendes next film Farlanders, Defamer lists the five worst filmic facial hair experiments.

--- And finally, lastly but far from leastly, Stacie Ponder aka Final Girl has started a series of short films for AfterEllen entitled "Ghostella's Haunted Tomb" and I cannot stress this enough: get your ass over there and watch the first installment. These things are GOLD. A new installment will be appearing every Wednesday and you best be believin' I'll be linking there every time. You can read an interview with Miss Ponder on her inspirations for the series right here.
