I Am Link

--- Monster Laffer - I get what Matthew Bomer was getting at in this interview with The New York Post where he talked a little bit about his brief stint (heh brief stint, get it) on American Horror Story last week, and that it's just a misspeak on his part, but I think it's funny that he basically inadvertently calls all clowns supernatural beings. He's watched too much It, methinks. (thanks Mac)

--- Jim Crawls - I haven't read it yet and I don't know if I will, James Franco's writing sometimes makes me break out into a rash, but hey maybe you want to see what he has to say about Jake Gyllenhaal's performance in Nightcrawler. I'm only linking to it because it reminded me there were weird rumors once upon a time that these two fucked, but then this is the internet and there are weird rumors that everybody's fucked.

--- Mother Superior - We were already excited about the upcoming movie Room because it was set to star Brie Larson and golly we love her... and then the director of the "Michael Fassbender's big round head" movie Frank signed on to direct it, and golly that was good too... well now the cast is filling and, did we say golly? Golly. Joan Allen and William H. Macy have joined the movie! Room is based on Emma Donoghue's 2010 book about a mother keeping her son trapped in a room for years. (thanks Mac)

--- Holly's Heroes - I'd totally forgotten that Holly Hunter was entering the DC Comics world with a still unspecified role in Batman Versus Superman (I will never write that movie title the right way, never) but she talked an eensy weensy little bit about it to the Wall Street Journal of all places, basically just saying how hot the two lead superheroes are, which is why we love her. Well one reason.

--- Gay Stuff - I hope this becomes a series at The Film Experience (although I wonder if there will always be enough news to justify it) - here's Manuel rounding up the LGBT movie news out in the world right now, including that Looking teaser I posted about yesterday and also a picture of James Franco and Zachary Quinto in Gus Van Sant's ex-gay movie Michael that I had missed.

--- No Wonder - I found this little chat at Forbes with director Lexi Anderson (who directed Punisher: War Zone) interesting even beyond her saying that an offer's out to a female director (not herself) to direct the Wonder Woman movie (she says it's somebody we'd all be very excited about) because of how much pressure she expresses that woman, any woman, directing the movie will be under to deliver something fantastic or else doom woman-kind forever. She says she's discouraged her folks from even suggesting her.
