I Am Link

.

--- Baby Maker - IndieWire has a wonderful chat with director Sebastian Silva over here - his new movie Nasty Baby, starring himself and Kristen Wiig, has apparently gotten some strange reception from the festival circuit, which he hilariously details. The movie sounds amazing, I hadn't heard anything about any of the walk-outs or anything, I'm even more excited than I was before. And I was excited before, not just because of Wiig, but because I loved Crystal Fairy tons and tons. Also he's seriously cute, who knew?

--- The Oscars Of Everything - I don't know how he finds the hours in the day for all of this but our pal Joe Reid's been on fire with the articles this week - here's a piece at The Atlantic on the disconnect between the Best Actress nominees and the movies their performances are in getting any correlating Oscar respect! Here's a piece at Slate on Joe's yearly project of seeing every single Oscar nominee wherein he ranks all of the movies from best to worst! (High placement of garbage like Birdman gives me slight agita, but I'll make due, especially with such a great number one.) And here's a piece at Vanity Fair on the nominees for Best Original Song in 1999, aka the greatest years of movies ever. Damn Joe, you're making me tired on your behalf!

--- Joke's On Us - It's amazing how quickly Jared Leto's able to make my skin crawl nowadays - in this new interview with Billboard magazine I went straight from "his beard does look lickable in that picture" to "oh my god shut that asshole up" in like half a second flat. He talks about wanting to gain weight for The Joker and then "vegan tacos" are mentioned and oh my god shut that asshole up.

--- Fall Guys - Taking a breather from the Oscars stuff for a hot second at The Film Experience Nathaniel wrote up some thoughts on a recent binge-watch of The Fall, that serial-killer starring the goddess Gillian plus that perfectly crafted set of abs with legs standing opposite her. I guess the second season is showing up on Netflix soon? They are good, you should watch them. I also wrote up some thoughts on the first season awhile back.

--- Dick Friendly - I suppose some other garbage dump for zombies will just fill in the hole that Two and a Half Men is leaving, having just aired its final episode last night, but I still feel some tension leaving the world now that it's gone. Ahhh. The air feels fresher today, doesn't it? Anyway point being here's Ashton Kutcher talking about his gigantic fake dick.

--- Serious Movie - I want to say it's been awhile since Oliver Stone's been relevant but he did flash Aaron Johnson's anus at us that one time not too long ago so me and Ollie, we're totally good. His movie about Edward Snowden starring Joseph Gordon-Levitt, who's clearly angling himself towards baity-roles these days (not mastur-baity, but awards-baity, that is) just picked up another hot piece, one Timothy Olyphant! I don't know if an Edward Snowden movie will find room for an anus flash, but let's cross our fingers and toes.

--- Milk The Dead - I wish I could figure out what character she played but an actress named Jill Marie Jones, who was apparently on American Horror Story: Asylum, just scored the leading lady role in Sam Raimi's upcoming Evil Dead television series. Oh wait I just googled it oh god gross I'd forgotten about this scene. You're a big pervert, Dylan McDermott.
