I Am Link

.
--- Into the Woods - Have any of you watched Crystal Lake Memories, the seven hour long Friday the 13th documentary, yet? I have not, but believe you me I will at some point. Today the New York Times of all places chatted with the doc's director about the hows and whys of making a seven hour long Friday the 13th doc - fun fact according to him: Hugh Jackman became an actor because he wanted to play Jason. WTF really? (thanks Mac)

--- Fat Bottomed Dan - I actually didn't think that Daniel Radcliffe was a terrible choice to play Freddie Mercury, weirdly, once I thought about it. My first thought when I heard the rumor was no, but it grew on me. Anyway it's not happening, Daniel batted it all away as tomfoolery.

--- Stars 80 - Who knew that 1980 was such a great year for births? (Not as great as 1977, ahem, obviously, but still - look through this list at The Film Experience and try not to be wowed by the quality movie stars that came outta Reagan's inauguration.

--- Gods of War - It's going to be Gerard Butler facing off against Nikolaj Coster-Waldau in Alex Proyas' Gods of Egypt, apparently. It's about the battle between Set, the evil god of the desert (played by Butler), and the son of Osiris (the God of the Sun), played by Nicky. It's been so long since Alex Proyas made something good I don't know whether to be excited or not.

--- Blues Men - Did you know that Douglas Sirk directed a short film in 1979 called "Bourbon Street Blues" that starred Rainer Werner Fassbinder? I actually did, go me, but it was one of those things I never thought I'd get to see... well bless the internet, because here it is. Amazing.

--- Last Will - Stacie Ponder's picked the next Final Girl Film Club title and it's a movie I haven't even heard of before - something called The Last Will and Testament of Rosalind Leigh, which Stacie says she's heard good things about. Ooh a new horror movie to watch, I'm in!

--- And finally, here's the first teaser for that Lifetime movie with Gena Gershon playing Donatella Versace. It is everything. Absolutely everything.
