I didn't pay a ton of attention to the whole "David Harbour is sex addict" thing that came out recently thanks to his ex Lily Allen writing an album about him being shitty because that sort of gossip always feels invasive and shitty in itself to me -- I am not their friend, I don't need to be involved in their dirty laundry. When fans get all worked up about somebody cheating on their partner, if everybody involved are adults, I just don't think it's my business. Anyway that whole mess seemed like it fell into that camp so I didn't pay attention to it, so if I missed a legitimate reason that David Harbour got canceled feel free to yell at me. All I allowed myself to take from it is a few images of David Harbour being a freak and I was happy with those. Because hot.
Anyway none of that is why we're here -- we're here because Mr. Harbour has booked a new movie which sounds hella rad on paper. It's an adaptation of Paul Tremblay's book A Head Full of Ghosts and it will co-star scream queen Rebecca Hall and it will be directed by Veronika Franz and Severin Fial, the filmmakers behind the original Goodnight Mommy and The Lodge, both of which rock. Anybody read the book? I have not but it's about the parents of a teen girl whose descent into schizophrenia is documented by an exploitative reality show, and the aftermath fifteen years later of that. I don't know who's playing who (if Harbour and Hall are the parents or if they play people in the flash-forward portion) but that sounds like a killer on-point concept for a movie, and I generally trust Rebecca Hall's instincts when it comes to horror -- she has done very well for herself in the genre.
On that note: anybody watching The Beauty? I am and I was sort of enjoying it at first but I find myself increasingly annoyed by the idea that there could be a hotter version of Rebecca Hall that's not Rebecca Hall. I call bullshit! Also Ashton Kutcher sucks and annoys me, and I find the entire Anthony Ramos / Jeremy Pope storyline increasingly dumb as well. I like all the hot naked guys though (hello Isaac Cole Powell rolling around naked and wet on top of Evan Peters) so obviously I'll keep watching.

I'm here for that beautiful bulge, thank you.
It's dumb. Still fun tho. Loved watching Meghan Trainor get thrown out the window.
How old is that pic of Harbour? I unwillingly heard a song from Lily Allen's album, it was insufferable. She also carpeted the bathroom.
Agree with you that The Beauty had a great start, but with binning Rebecca Hall has lost its luster. I would argue that Anthony Ramos chewing scenery is the remaining bright spot for me even if his subplot is one note. He looks like he's having fun and I can live vicariously through that.
Typical Murphy. The first three episodes of most of his projects are great. He's simply incapable of maintaining that momentum for the rest of the series. It never fails.
