Kisses From Kumail


The movie Over Your Dead Body completely slipped by me when it got a brief release in April, which is a shame since I am one of the world's biggest Samara Weaving fans and I try to be a completeist when it comes to my under-appreciated gal-pal -- did any of you see it? Samara stars alongside Jason Segel as estranged spouses who head to a cabin in the woods (always a warning sign) to supposedly reconcile, but in actuality try to murder each other. Also in the cast is Timothy Olyphant and Kumail Nanjiani who, as seen here, is leaning back into his sex-god side again -- I was worried he'd give up this body after Eternals, the superhero franchise he built it for flopped, so seeing him show off again makes me smile. All over! I'm smiling in places that have never smiled before, I tells ya. (Can't wait to see him flaunting this bod on the French beaches of The White Lotus' fourth season soon enough!) Anyway obviously the existence of these gifs (which I swiped off Tumblr) mean this movie is out on VOD now, so I will try to catch it sometime when I have two free hours... something that's about to become a rather big ask as NewFest and Tribeca both kick off in the next week. Speaking of -- I'm leaving you now, right this minute, to go to a press screening for one of said fests. So this will be it for today. I'm sorry I have made our all-over smiles wilt so suddenly. Kumail will keep your warm for me, nestled in against his sturdy bosom in my absence. Hold tight til tomorrow!
