I Am Link

.

--- Blood Lovers - Stephen Moyer says that he and Alexander Skarsgård have been trying for ages to get the makers of True Blood to give them a sex scene, but they're not having any of it. I want every single one of those assholes fired right this second. It'd be so easy too - that's what flashbacks are for! Bill and Eric lived through the Seventies, man.

--- Give Our Best - Over at The Film Experience the lot of us, contributor-wise, have started sounding off on an unlikely FYC campaign - that is, we're advocating for the our favorites from 2013 that're likely to be totally ignored when actual nominations for the Oscars start happening. Some good ones right off the bat!

--- John Boy - Our pal Nathaniel Rogers got to interview adorable (and shockingly un-shy, ahem) Jonathan Groff about his voice-acting in this weekend's hit cartoon Frozen as well as the upcoming gay HBO series Looking - you can see most of the interview at Towleroad, but Nat dropped a few extra bits over at TFE. Oh and Nat also chatted with Julia Louis Dreyfous. Exclamation points!

--- Spook Shows - I hate how much I'm forced to still pay attention to Harvey Weinstein and his brother, but whatcha gonna do, they stick their grimy hands into everything - in an interview with the New York Times the brothers say they're planning on turning both Frank Miller's Sin City comics and Stephen King's excellent short story The Mist into some sort of television miniseries type events. Frank Darabont, who made the mostly very very good Mist movie not too long ago, is apparently involved in this would-be ten-part series.

--- Pope Of Filth - John Waters' yearly top ten for ArtForum is online now... although I don't think there's a direct link to where he talks about his choices in the magazine, I'm just finding the list itself for now. As always, he's more interesting than most. I wish the girls were less indistinguishable from each other in Spring Breakers; that's what keeps me from totally being on board with it. Also - Sight and Sound's top ten is pretty great too.

--- Candy Dammit - SYTD has the first official (bloody) picture from the new movie by the director of the wonderful yet under-appreciated film Pontypool, which is called Hellions and is about a woman terrorized by a trio of trick r' treaters. (Everybody immediately thought of Lock Shock and Barrel from The Nightmare Before Christmas, right?)

--- Ha Ha Her - Here's seventy minutes of Greta Gerwig and some other people talking about having a "breakthrough year" for The Hollywood Reporter. I don't know where they've been, just now recognizing onto Greta. She should've been on their proper Actress Roundtable. Whatever!
