I Am Link

.

--- Melisandre's Menfolk - Because I was totally correct when I decided right off the bat with Black Book that the actress Carice Van Houten's one of the world's bestest people, here she is in an interview about the upcoming fourth season of A Games of Thrones going on about how the show needs more male nudity. Huzzah give her an Emmy! I'm far too lazy to check through our archives and double-check this but I'm 99.44% sure that she's gone on about this before, too. I love you, Carice! (Relatedly click here to see that scene where she helped us out and stripped Joe Dempsie half-naked.)

--- And Speaking of Thrones, in honor of V-Day over at io9 they posted a special feature from the 3rd season's DVD set where that master of mutilation ceremonies George RR Martin talks about the weddings of Westeros and beyond. 

--- Back It Up Franco - In a chat with Cinema Blend Dave lets it be known that he shows off his ass in the upcoming Zac Efron Seth Rogen frat comedy Neighbors. He says in the movie he has "his first real sex scene," which I guess means he discounts that time he fucked himself up the ass, sadly. That was real for me!

--- The Eyes Of Steven Soderbergh - If you were wondering what Steven Soderbergh did with himself last year, The Playlist has you covered - here's a list of literally every single thing he watched or read and the day he watched or read them. I wish he'd scribbled in notes about what he ate for each meal and the respective bowel movements too; I don't feel like I quite know him without that information.

--- Sex Cult - Furry wonder Thomas Jane has joined the cast of The Veil, a horror movie about cults (cults are really hot right now) that's coming from the same production house that brought us the Insidious movies, the Purge movies, the Paranormal Activity movies. This movie may or may not be found-footage, but it deals with a camera crew so it'll probably be at least partially so. The guy who directed that Punisher short film with Jane that got a bunch of attention last year is directing.

--- Here Comes The Haderach - I've been chomping at the bit to see Jodorowsky's Dune, the documentary about cult filmmaker Alejandro Jodorowsky's aborted attempt to make a Dune movie way back when. It's out in about five weeks, and here's the trailer. I don't need to watch the trailer, I don't need convincing, I've been on board with this movie since the first time years ago that I heard this Dune was even a thing.

--- Peaky Hardy - Has anybody seen the BBC crime drama Peaky Blinders (what a name) that stars Cillian Murphy? I feel as if a lot more people will be watching it now that Tom Hardy has joined the cast for the second season. So many big stars on TV these days, it's getting ridiculously hard to keep up.

--- Free Page - Over at The Film Experience Nathaniel shares the awesome news that Ellen Page's long delayed movie Freeheld, a true story about a lesbian couple dealing with terminal illness and pension benefit problems, is back on, and it will co-star Julianne Moore and be directed by Peter Sollet, who made the great movies Raising Victor Vargas and Nick and Norah's Infinite Playlist.
