I Am Link

.

--- Shit Kicker - I knew Melissa McCarthy was a gay icon in the making the moment she giggled her way through her scene with Scott Wolf and Jay Mohr in Go (not to mention when she played Ryan Reynolds' hag in The Nines) and now that she's posed as Divine for a photo-shoot it's all coming together.

--- Channing's Pride - Steven Soderbergh's Male Stripper Movie, Hung Low Sweet Cherry Pop, is getting released in Gay Pride Month 2012. That sounds about right, no?

--- The Scream Scene - In lieu of candy corn Twitch is handing out horror movie suggestions for this weekend, and it's an obscure bunch of goodness. I would've loved to do something similar but time's gotten away from me; I spend every day telling y'all what to watch, so you know what I think!

--- NecronomiCAN! - BD has managed to eke out some details about the plot of The Evil Dead reboot that Diablo Cody had a hand in writing, so head over there if you want the gist. I'll refrain from spoiling it if you want to stay fresh. However we all know the "plot" of The Evil Dead really is just "Demons, demons, demons!"

--- Get Juiced - The Beetlejuice sequel that is apparently not a figment of our collective imagainations will all the same definitely remain only a figment of our collective imaginations if Michael Keaton does not want to play the ghost with the most again, says the producer. They haven't gotten Keaton to sign on yet though because they don't have anything for him to sign on to yet. Golly that's a lot of non-news.

--- Rock Hard - MNPP pal Jarett got to chat with MNPP crush Alessandro Nivola for his new film out this weekend, Janie Jones, in which he plays a washed-up rock star, so go check that out. I would like him to revisit your character in Laurel Canyon too! Specifically his wardrobe in the pool scene.



I have beheld that picture a thousand thousand times in my life and I will never ever in a thousand times a thousand more grow sick of it.

--- Ward Off - Final Girl took a look at John Carpenter's The Ward, which reminded me I never wrote a review of it myself... probably because it's just too depressingly bad to draw attention to, like Stacie says.

--- Bird Flew - Have you been keeping up with Arbo's 31 Screams project? The past week have given us great posts on The Birds and the first Friday the 13th movie, amongst other awesomeness.

--- And speaking of The Birds, Amir tackled the special effects of Hitch's avian nightmare over at The Film Experience today.

--- Dino Might - This is one of those "I haven't read this yet myself but I am bookmarking it to read in a bit" things - io9's got a piece up talking about the enduring cultural cache of the Jurassic Park series, specifically the first film. Besides the movie having just come out on BluRay I've been thinking about the movies a lot these past couple of weeks because of two commingling factors on TV - Laura Dern in Enlightened and Terra Nova.
