I Am Link

.

--- Anyways Awesome - I am very much looking forward to seeing French Canadian hipster-savant Xavier Dolan's next movie Laurence Anyways (about pretty boy Melvil Poupaud turning himself into a pretty girl) since I have really liked his two other movies (I Killed My Mother and Heartbeats), and so Glenn's raving about it over at Stale Popcorn is only fueling my fire.

--- Double Gale - Also over there Glenn took on one of the best scenes in any of the Scream movies - the Nancy Drew antics of Gale Weathers and her Parker Posey tag-along in Scream 3.

--- Good Timing - There's a nice little recap of some date announcements in this post at DH - both Danny Boyle's Trance and The Evil Dead remake have been scheduled for April 5th. That will be a busy weekend for me then! Secondly, Paul Thomas Anderson's Inherent Vice is going to shoot this Spring. And lastly, the second Amazing Spider-Man movie will be shooting here in NYC from February 12th to the 26th; I've just got to get on where it's shooting because I'll be damned if I'm gonna miss seeing The Spider-Bum with mine own two eyes.

--- Demons Rise - Speaking of The Evil Dead, I forgot to mention - didja hear about it getting an NC-17 in its first cut? Apparently the violence was ridiculous, which... well yes please, it is an Evil Dead movie. If I don't want to barf, it isn't doing its job. Although they've already re-cut it for an R so I can't help but feel this might've been for hype. 

--- Damned Producer - Harvey Weinstein admits he effed up the awards chances for The Master and Django Unchained. Brother, you're just getting started.

--- Pretty Ladies - Nat and Kurt are talking the SAG dresses over at The Film Experience - I really can't put into words how much I loved Marion Cotillard's look for the night (although that didn't stop me from rambling about it in the comments). Seriously though - that is just epic loveliness.

--- Cookin' With Cooper - Bradley Cooper is going to make another movie with Derek Cianfrance, the Blue Valentine director whose Cooper-Gosling flick The Place Behind the Pines is out soon. It's a comedy about a chef called Chef. It'll co-star that guy everybody liked in The Intouchables. (I have not seen The Intouchables.) Oh and Cooper's also making a movie called The Man From Primrose Lane, about a true-crime write who gets in over his head looking into a murder. We've never seen that before.

--- The Felt Ones - There is now a title for the next Muppets movie (it stinks, change it); there's also some new pictures of the felt ones romping around with Ricky Gervais at that link as well. I just wanna see Tina Fey as the Russian prison-guard already.

.

--- Argo Frame Yourself - BAFTA has released art-work from artist Jonathan Burton for each of their Best Picture nominees; The Argo and the Zero Dark Thirty ones are my favorites. You can buy them, too. The Argo one's my favorite by far but I didn't like Argo enough to pay for art-work about it, especially at those prices.

--- Space Vixen - So apparently that Barbarella TV series from Nicolas Winding Refn is still a thing, and they have hired writers to fashion it. The writers of the past several Bond movies, actually.Now we must figure out who to cast!
