I Am Link

.
--- Viva Ari - Yes! Ari Graynor got a lead(ish) role, and in a David Gordon Green movie no less! Somehow she's supposed to be Jonah Hill's girlfriend, but whatever, she'll make it work no doubt. It's called The Sitter and it sounds like DGG mixing Adventures in Babysitting with his own Pineapple Express. In other words, awesome.

--- To Temps - The trio behind the glorious television program Party Down, which includes Veronica Mars' creator Rob Thomas, have gotten a pilot order for a new series with NBC. It's for a show called Temps which "will focus on a group of recent college grads who are forced to take a variety of oddball temp jobs to make ends meet." Just make sure there's a role somewhere for Kristen Bell!

--- Speaking of Miss Bell, she's a Hunger Games fan! So which character should she play in the films? Also, didja see the shot of her from Burlesque? Good grief, this movie.

--- Antiquity Fannypack - Great drag queen name, that. If you want to know where I got it from, click over to Final Girl's latest Film Club, where they took in the 1994 Chuck Norris versus demons epic Hellbound. I almost watched it over the weekend to participate but I just couldn't get my mood right for such spectacular awfulness. Alas, my loss.

--- This Will Never Happen - I will eat my hat if Darren Aronofsky directs Wolverine 2. (Thankfully I don't own any hats.)

--- Jaws of Death - Is there a movie called that? Why isn't there a movie called that, if not? I should make that movie. It might be something like the new movie from the director of the superior Final Destination 2, which is inferiorly called Shark Night 3D and is about sharks... in the night.... in three-dee... and just got four nobodies cast.

--- How Never - Slash rounded up several non-spoilery bits from reviews of Mark Romanek's Never Let Me Go and skimming through them it appears my hopes have not been for naught. Hooray!

--- Fresh Soul - BD has word on another new cast member of Final Destination 5 but more importantly they're saying that they've heard that it will most definitely not be called 5nal (ANAL) Destination as had been threatened. Thank goodness.

--- And finally, BD has a gallery of shots of Ryan Reynolds in Buried (saw the trailer this weekend; liked it a lot) and Slash has a huge gallery of new images from David Fincher's The Social Network including most of the cast but most importantly several of my lover Andrew Garfield and here's a bunch, just cuz.

So looking forward to Burlesque. It just seems so delightfully trashy and silly.
