I Am Link

--- Tank To Tattoo - Katie Jarvis, so terrific her very first time out in Andrea Arnold's Fish Tank, has apparently had her name thrown into contention for Lisbeth Salander in the Dragon Tattoo movies with David Fincher. I approve! If only because I don't want Katie to go away. I like her, and I like that she reminds me of a sinisterly thrusting Michael Fassbender, and I don't want that to ever go away. Seriously though, Katie's awesome.

Word is that Fincher's got his eye on Rooney Mara though, who played Nancy in the reboot of Nightmare on Elm Street - I seem to remember that I didn't dislike her as much as a lot of people seemed to at the time, but I'll be damned if I can recall anything about that movie now - and has some role in his Facebook movie.

--- Back Away - Glad to see that Sam Mendes' Away We Go - my 14th favorite film of 2009; my original review here - hasn't been forgotten and is getting a lot of play on the cable channels - Joe talked up his increasing affection for the movie over at Low Res. I haven't seen it again since it came out on DVD, perhaps it's time for a re-visitation. Krasinski and Rudolph forever.

--- Seattle's Revenge - I have never seen any of Frances Farmer's films nor have I seen Jessica Lange's supposed-to-be brilliant performance as the actress in her supposed-to-be misshapen biopic, but that didn't stop me from tearing through Sunset Gun's piece on both. Gotta finally watch Frances, I do.

--- She Better Work - Margarita Levieva, better known as the glorious Lisa P in Adventureland, has a cool new job! Yay! She's one-third of a terrorized group of folks who get terrorized by some maniac while trying to get money late-night from an ATM. The movie is called... dun dun dun... ATM. The other two are Josh Peck and Brian Geraghty, both good actors.

--- Holiday Bird - Darren Aronofsky's Black Swan is out (limited) on December 1st, which isn't soon enough dang it! I'll say it again for the fifteenth time - it'd better play the New York Film Festival. Oh and James Franco's 127 Hours is out on November 5th. Hooray for getting trapped under a rock and cutting off your own arm! At least if you look like James Franco. Then it's awesome.

--- Losing Faith In Life - Meanwhile nobody knows when Terrence Malick is ever gonna finish editing Tree of Life, if ever. Still.

--- And finally, I love this UK poster for Piranha 3D. (via) Why isn't this movie out yet dammit? August 20th seems forever away. Anyway, mark my words - I think this movie's gonna be a big hit. It just looks like a blast and it's perfect timing. We're all kind of hating Summer at this point and it's got that vibe.
