I Am Link

.

--- Rubba Spanx - AICN has the cover of some French magazine with the first mage of what Wolverine's costume will look like in the new X-Men movie (Days of Future Fourgy, I mean) and my first thought was he looks like the circuit queen version of the Micheline Man riding a gay pride float.

--- Pretty Lady - In the continuing FYC series over at The Film Experience the time has come for Amir to wax poetic on the cinematography for Spike Jonze's beautiful beautiful film Her, a most worthy endeavor indeed. 

--- Lay Fey It - I think I was bitching about this just the other day, and that's likely since I'm bitching about it all the time, so I'm glad they've taken my bitching to heart (it was me, all me!) - True Blood is set to add to its shockingly low actual gay content with its last season; they're looking for an actor to play Lafayette's boyfriend, and their casting notice is very specific in that the actor must be comfortable being naked and sexy with another dude lots. Nelsan Ellis does nothing for me in that way as Lafayette, I'd rather we got Eric and Bill and Jason and Hoyt all locked in a room and given super horny pills and let that be the entire final season, but at least they're trying. And maybe they'll get somebody hot for the boyfriend.

--- Plague Life - Sofia Coppola might be lining up her next project (she's working on the script, at least) and it sounds really interesting - it's an adaptation of the book Fairyland: A Memoir of my Father, which is the author's story of growing up with her bisexual father in San Francisco at the start of AIDS crisis and up through her own father's illness. Seeing as how that description alone is making my eyes tear up, I think I will probably find this movie affecting.

--- Song Dance Man - Isn't it just a delight what an in demand screenwriter that Buffy's Jonathan, aka Danny Strong, has become? Delightful! He already wrote the last two Hunger Games movies (the split-in-half adaptation of Mockingjay) and now he's gotten the gig to write the long gestating Guys and Dolls movie. Congrats, nerd!

--- Elven Gold - Joe Reid was being a smart ass when he tackled Evangaline Lilly's Best Actress prospects for The Hobbit thanks to the obscenely gigantic field of nominees that the Critics Choice Awards announced yesterday... and I wouldn't have it any other way. Cracked me up. And reminds me, I've got to write up my thoughts on The Hobbit today, dammit!
