--- The Good Doctor - Hannibal is back in two days! Hannibal is back in two days! I almost made the blog full Hannibal themed this week but I know me and my inability to focus on one thing for any period of time so I set that aside. Still we'll be posting some about it over the next couple days. Anyway here's a very fine interview with Bryan Fuller at EW wherein he talks about how his show will avoid rape like the plague, and shares his wise thoughts on the controversial scene with Sansa in A Game of Thrones.

--- Spy Business - I'm coasting on the laurels of MNPP's 10th anniversary a little bit today, taking it easy, so I might not get around to some of the reviews I'm working on until tomorrow, but that said I will let you know I agree with this everything The Playlist says in this piece stating that Melissa McCarthy should be in the conversation come awards season for what she does in Spy, which is out this Friday and in which she's a force of hilarious nature. Comedy is always forgotten about though...

--- Killer Company - It's official - Benjamin Walker will be returning his videotapes and then carving up some prostitutes on Broadway! He will for sure be starring as financial psychopath Patrick Bateman in American Psycho: The Musical, when it premieres next Spring. He was going to star when it was off-Broadway, then they nixed plans for that in order to go big, and we weren't sure he was tagging along until now.

.

--- Director Fever - I might've linked to this before, I'm sure it's been bobbing around the internet since it's an old thing, but here's Rainer Werner Fassbinder's list of Top Ten Movies, which got some renewed attention what with what woulda been RWF's 70th birthday having just passed. Speaking of, here's a piece on an art-show in Berlin on Fassbinder right now. (thanks Mac) I wish I could go. In related auteur listsicle news, here's Olivier Assayas' ten favotire movies... well actually he cheats terribly, amusingly, and names way more than ten with a huge number of ties. That's how ya do it.

--- Boogie Woogie - This maybe has made its way to YouTube right now but in the interest of Getting Shit Done I'm just linking to it where I found it - a clips from the 54: Director's Cut got released, you can watch it here. I was hoping it was Ryan Phillippe and Breckin Meyer's make-out scene; it's not. But it does have the two of them in their short-shorts shimmying around a bunch, and that's perfectly swell. I also saw somewhere saying it's released today? But I don't know if that's true; if anybody knows forward me that!

.

--- Southern Discomfort - Eli Roth announced on Facebook that his long delayed cannibal movie The Green Inferno's been picked up by Blumhouse (aka horror central) for a release this fall, on September 25th. So that's groovy! I'm still so frustrated that I wasn't able to go to that New York screening of the film that happened right before the movie got yanked. (via, thanks Mac)
.

--- Beasts Master - The internet is such a trickster, I thought it was already official that Eddie Redmayne was playing the lead in JK Rowling's Harry Potter spin-off Fantastic Beasts and Where To Find Them, and I thought that Asa Butterfield had already been cast as the new Spider-Man, but it turns out that only the former is true, and only just now. Although we will apparently hear who's got the Spider-Man gig relatively soon, maybe even before this week is through. Hell maybe the news will show up before I hit publish on this post. The Internet! Anyway I'm still rooting for Tom Holland for Peter Parker, then.

--- Summer at the Farm - I saw this so long ago thanks to MoMA that I didn't realize it'd never gotten a proper US release but then it being Xavier Dolan I should've figured - his film Tom at the Farm will get a release in August says STYD. It's my favorite film by him so far, here's my review. I look forward to seeing it again.

.

--- And Finally Nathaniel's latest Q&A session with his readers over at The Film Experience is chock-full of fun stuffs - he talks about Tom Hardy needing to star in a sex movie and Barabara Hershey being awesome and shows Mel Gibson's butt. It's playing to all my most favorite things.
