I Am Link

.

--- Ant-Man's Best Friend - Michael Pena, who is generally always awesome (he was so so good in End of Watch last year) and is pretty much criminally under-used, is maybe up for a part in Edgar Wright's Ant-Man movie. Marvel is denying it but they always do that til the t's are crossed.

--- Be The Best - Head right on over to The Film Experience for this year's Team Experience Awards, wherein my TFE fellow contributors voted on their faves of 2013. Full admission: I opted out this year because I haven't even come close to figuring out my ballot for the year yet. I just don't even want to think about it right now. I'm kind of pissed off at myself for not participating looking at the list though because I can't help but wonder if I could've been the vote to push Frances Ha over the top.

--- A Hate Story - The Playlist has the first clip from David Wain's They Came Together, his rom-com convention take-down starring Amy Poehler and Paul Rudd. It co-stars a ton of awesome people, as David Wain movies always do, like Melanie Lynskey and hey-we-were-just-staring-at-his-nipples Ken Marino.

--- Rich Bitch - I feel as if I gave some side-eye when we first heard that criminal douchebag slash Leonardo DiCaprio hero Jordan Belfourt say he wasn't making anything off of The Wolf of Wall Street, and sure enough here comes word that his claims are being investigated by the Justice Department.I mean obviously he was making money off it in the first place - no doubt his business is booming thanks to the notoriety he's getting from the film. But this takes that further.

--- Blue Man Group - I kind of felt like James Cameron might've just gone ahead and chosen to tell somebody else's story with the next Avatar movies since Sam Worthington's career has completely fizzled out here in the US, so I actually am surprised Sam's been announced as returning for all 3 sequels now.

--- Ghost House - The remake of Poltergeist starring Sam Rockwell and RoseMarie Dewitt has been scheduled for February 13th, 2015. So it's gonna be sold as a Valentine's Day movie then? I can't wait for the guy who rips his own face off in the mirror to spell out "I Love You" with excess gore and pus.
.

--- No Glory - Joe Reid is terrified that he's going to have to watch a bunch of shitty movies if they get nominated for Oscars come Oscar morning. I think he might end up liking The Hobbit more than he fears. Also I've actually been dying to watch Bad Grandpa, but I like the Jackass movies.

--- And finally ooh hey everybody it's the first teaser trailer for the 2nd season of Bates Motel! Vera-riffic! The show's back March 3rd.
