I Am Link

.

--- Actress Land - The Playlist has some new pictures from Olivier Assayas' Sils Maria, which stars Juliette Binoche as an actress and Kristen Stewart as an actress playing the role Binoche's character played when she was younger. There's a lot of smoking and people looking gorgeous - shocker.

--- French Kiss - There were too many titles I haven't seen and not enough time for me to play catch-up for me to participate in this month's Team Experience poll counting down our ten favorite Cannes winners, but my inadequacies shouldn't keep you from head over to The Film Experience and seeing what everybody else came up with. I already checked one off of the list that I hadn't seen yet over the weekend - the 1958 Russian flick The Cranes Are Flying is totally deserving of the love.

--- Dystopian Event - A couple of you were adamant that I catch up on the British series called Utopia, which is a twisty thriller about comics books and global conspiracies, and so I also watched that this weekend (it's only six hour-longs) and holy shite were y'all right, it is terrific, so thank to you guys for sharing. To those of you who haven't seen it, do! David Fincher is teaming up with Gone Girl author Gillian Flynn to adapt the series for the US, but the original's already great, I def. recommend. Here's an article about the second season, if you are caught up. That supposedly airs starting July-ish.

--- Siggy Stardust - I didn't think she'd be showing up for the sequels considering the place we left her character at the end of the first movie, but Sigourney Weaver says that James Cameron's found a way to have her involved in all the three sequels to Avatar, so that's cool. Any Siggy is good Siggy, that's what I always say.

--- Redheaded Woman - Tori Amos' new album Unrepentant Geraldines is out this week and Matt got to chat with her over at PopMatters; Tori always makes for a good read. Fairy on crack indeed.

--- Four More - Nathaniel plays some catch-up with four news stories from the past couple of weeks that merit mention if not unbridled enthusiasm - Brad and Angie and Baz oh my.

--- And Finally did you guys watch the first night of the Rosemary's Baby remake on NBC? No? Theyn you're hardly alone because its ratings were abysmal. I myself DVR'd it and I have every intention of watching it (glutton for so much punishment); I couldn't watch it live though, I had tickets to a play. Anyway I might just wait for the second night to air and watch the whole thing in one fell swoop - that way I can just have a hangover one morning instead of two.
