I Am Link

.

--- Getting High - JJ has a gallery of new pics from Your Highness, David Gordon Green's Ye Olde Pot Comedy with James Franco and Natalie Portman and Danny McBride and Justin Theroux, of whom that shot to the left is of, and verily is hysterical. If you closed your eyes and imagined what Ian McKellen saw when he smoked too much of that fine hobbit leaf while filming the Lord of the Rings movies... it would look nothing like that at all. I don't know. There's a panel on the film at ComiCon this weekend that I'm hoping to make it into, so perhaps I'll hear something worth sharing there.

--- Soul Struck - I'm avoiding spoilers so I only skimmed BD's review of Wes Craven's My Soul To Take, which is out today, but they grabbed my attention with lines like this:

"[I]t's like an Elephant Man of a film. It's so sick, twisted and deformed that it's impossible to take your eyes off the screen. You can't possibly guess what happens next, nor will you ever be able to figure out the finale... don' even try. Yet, it's hard to sit here and tell you not to see this film, strangely because it's either the most brilliant thing ever made or the most retarded."

Well now I have to see it.

--- Goodbye, Lisa P - No reason's given why they've made the switch but Margarita Levieva, who played the spectacular carnival seductress Lisa P in Adventureland and stole all of our hearts with her smooth gypsy slide, has had her role in ATM, the next thriller-in-an-enclosed-space by the director of Buried, snatched away by that harlot Alice Eve. Tramp! Let's pelt her with eggs until she goes away! How dare she.

--- He Will Never Learn - Darren Aronofsky is once again talking about making a movie with Brad Pitt. It's never gonna work, Darren! Why do you keep letting him put the football in front of you, just to have him yank it away at the last second? I get that Brad's abs are super shiny and distracting, but there are lots of shiny abs in Hollywood, you don't have to have those specific ones.

--- Her Name Is Noomi - She lives upstairs from you. I think you might have seen her before. Wha? Ahem. That chick that kicked a hornet's nest and raped a dude with a giant dildo might be the next Not Ripley in the new Alien movie, says Deadline. That was a very odd sentence I just wrote. Let's just move on, I'm losing my grip here...
