I Am Link

.
--- A-Ha Hemsworth - io9's got a gallery of hi-res Thor pictures, including the largest most splendid version of that shot to the right that I've seen so far. I really never tire of it. And speaking of Chris Hemsworth, have y'all seen this video of him dancing on the Aussie Dancing With the Stars back in the day? He swivels a lot. It is hypnotic.

--- How To Go Boo - ScreenCrave made a pretty swell list of the six most important things you need in order to make a good-to-great horror film that I can't find much fault with. I don't know that I'd say they're all THE most important things, but they help.

--- Partied Out - The Playlist listed five reasonable reasons why Party Down will never get turned into a movie. Since I'm still holding my breath for the Veronica Mars movie I don't have the space in my lungs for this one too.

--- Remington Peeled - Early Pierce Brosnan is a field of research I haven't yet looked into, so I appreciate Nat giving me a goose towards it with this post of him rocking a speedo and getting a little bit gay (and a whole lot stabby) in The Long Good Friday, his very first movie.

--- Space Invaders - There's another trailer for that British "kids versus aliens" movie Attack the Block that everybody keeps saying is so good right over here, and is now getting a US release. They keep not telling us when it's getting a release though, which is annoying me.

--- Thunder Lizard - There really for real are dinosaurs in Malick's Tree of Life movie, and IndieWire has the first look at one. Huh.

--- Good and Hot - Glenn got to see both of Xavier Dolan's films and geeked out over them, as has everyone who has seen them. I am not one of the people who's gotten to see them yet, which makes me sad. And not only because he's so nice to look at!

--- Super Mash - I like that Slash threw a bunch of superhero movie news into one big post, it saves me from having to do a bunch of separate links myself. (Time I can spend staring at Nick Jonas' ass some more!) They speak of the comic origins of Joe Gordon-Levitt's Batman character, and of interview with Bryan Singer about X-Men, amongst other things.

--- Acid Washed - There are aliens - like, the old-fashioned Giger sort - on the set of Ridley Scott's Prometheus. And this is news.

--- And finally, I haven't watched it yet but here's a new video of Joss Whedon talking about Buffy. (via) Which is something I could - and have - watch hours and hours of.

Please, don´t watch the films of Xavier Dolan: huuuuuuge waste of time! (the boy is nice, though)

I saw "Heartbeats" yesterday afternoon here in DC. Liked it, but wasn't dazzled. It's very easy to see why people would fantasize about Niels Schneider, who appears in both Dolan movies (see http://www.imdb.com/media/rm3892150784/tt1600524 for a taste of his appeal) and Monia Chokri did some interesting things w/the Audrey Hepburn-like character.

I haven't seen "How I killed My Mother", but I understand Dolan's character has 2 boyfriends, played by Niels Schneider and François Arnaud. Are you watching "The Borgias"? François Arnaud is playing Cesare Borgia.

Pffft, I don't believe that "The killer can't be understandable or sympathetic," rule at all. For a short list, what about Carrie, Martin, May, Let The Right One In, Session 9, or Antichrist? What about Sarah from The Descent? Not so big on some of the other ones either - or at least, I don't think things have to be done that way.
