--- Wight's Stuff - Because it matters what Edgar Wright thinks (I'm not being the slightest bit facetious saying that) here is Edgar Wright's list of his ten favorite movies of 2013. I'd say that's a pretty damned solid list, for the most part. (I've already learned to bite my tongue over Before Sunrise.)
--- Full Bloom - As male stars are now required to do whenever they get naked on-screen, here's Orlando Bloom's embarrassing interview where all they ask him about is his dick. Fun fact - apparently he got so used to being naked on the set of Zulu
that he'd find his anatomy absent-mindedly pressed against people. Good
grief why wasn't I on that set? You'd think my spidey sense would've
tingled, alerted me, called me there. Anyway here's Orlando's bum in the trailer for that movie. He may've been walking around naked but I have my doubts we're getting Full Bloom on screen.

--- Sister Lister - I think that Rooney and Kate Mara should place higher ( I love them both) but The Film Experience's top ten today is a great one on acting sister pairs, in honor of Joan Fontaine's passing and the renewed interest in her decades long feud with her sister Olivia de Havilland. I wish I weren't so busy off-blog and could do a proper post on Joan Fontaine. Maybe once the holidays are over we'll circle back, give her some love.
--- And finally here's the trailer for Grand Piano, which is basically Speed set on a piano. Now there's a sentence! It stars Elijah Wood as a concert pianist who's in the sights of a sniper. I don't even know what the fuck. It got great reviews out of Fantastic Fest though!

Broadchurch was one of the highest rated series in the UK this year. I liked it, but didn't love it. It's one of those shows where characters withhold key information from each other for no good reason, except that it's crucial to the plot.
In one case, for instance, the detectives spend a lot of time getting a suspect to give them details of a past crime he was imprisoned for committing, because that's the only way to get at the truth. It's too bad that British police apparently don't have access to arrest and conviction records.
It's sort of weird that David Tennant is playing the same role in the remake that he played in the original--but w/an American accent this time.
The role Kevin Zegers is set to play is a naive but v pretty local reporter.
apart from a few plot holes, broadchurch was one of the televisual highlights of the year; the undercurrent of grief and brilliant performances of olivia colman, jodie whittaker and pauline quirk were mesmerising
Olivia Coleman deserves to be nominated in every tv critic awards, she's that good to me. The show is not perfect, but it's definitely one of my favorites this year.
I loved Broadchurch! Lars is right about Olivia Colman. She is superb. The Kevin Zegers character is played by the even more dishy Jonathan Bailey in the UK original. Plus, there are a couple of DILFs and a hot reverend.
They wont show Orlando's dick. They always do this silly little song and dance when trying to lure single women into going to see shitty movies no one will remember a month from now. If these types of interviews told the truth I would have seen Joe Manganiello and Channing Taintyum's dicks in Magic Mike, Danny Radcliffe's in Kill You Darlings, Colin Farrell's in Home At The End of the World, Aaron Johnson's in Savages and a few others. It all PR bullshit and then when the movie comes out sans the much toted full frontal nudity they say it was cut out for some stupid reason.
