I Am Link

.

--- Martian Weirdness - This is pretty cool, I say in my best "The Miley Cyrus Show on SNL" voice (no I don't know why that's how I chose to introduce this) - io9 shows off some never before seen concept art for what would have been if David Cronenberg had made Total Recall instead of Paul Verhoeven. Picture camels wearing respirators and mutant alien vaginas and you'll get Cronenberg's gist. God I love that man. I can't knock Verhoeven's movie, I love it, but this is something.

--- A New Luke Duke - Did everybody watch the third and final season of Eastbound and Down? I never much posted about the show but I found it genius from start to finish, one of the funniest batshit insane rides in recent memory. I was sad to see it end, but it's such a perfect little package I can't argue. Long live Kenny Powers. So now creator Jody Hill is moving on, and according to THR his next project might be a sort-of The Dukes of Hazzard? By way of Sam Peckinpah? This is what "WTF" stand for. But it totally makes sense at the same time. 

--- Fast Fella - Noted whateverasexual Luke Evans might play the bad guy in the sixth Fast and Furious movie. Will he be opposite noted whateverasexual Vin Diesel? That's a lot of "we only date in Europe" going on on one set. Hopefully they'll film in Europe so the poor fellows won't have to go without all the noted poontang they adore.

--- Unchained Malady - Gary Ross doesn't work very much - he's only directed three movies in fifteen years - but I guess he's using his heat off of The Hunger Games to get some shit done. THR reports he's going to try and make a bio-pic about the famed magician Houdini next. Haven't there already been several Houdini bio-pics made? I mean yeah they all seem kind of sucky so there's no definitive version I guess, but all the dude did was lock himself in a box in chains, why is this so inspiring again?

--- Oh Lola - I think I already posted that my favorite horror film of 2010 the Aussie prom-nightmare The Loved Ones was getting a sort-of proper US release this Summer but now we have details, which you can see over at BD. It'll be out on June 1st but only if enough people RSVP to each screening, they have the links and a list of theaters and a trailer at that link. If you can see it, do! It's sooooo freaking good, you guys. I'll have to take the chance to see it on a big screen myself if possible, so if you're in NYC go RSVP so I can, please.

--- Ranking Whedon - Rolling Stone ranked Joss Whedon's projects from top to bottom, from comics to movies to each individual season of his TV shows, and there's enough to make a person nuts for a lifetime. Why's everybody gotta be so hard on Buffy Season 6? And they are not fans of Dollhouse either. I mostly agree with them on Firefly/Serenity, but that shit isn't gonna make any Browncoats very happy. And the super-high placement of Cabin in the Woods is pretty cool, I say in my best "The Miley Cyrus Show on SNL" voice again. Sigh.
