Everybody Do the Dinosaur


What, you thought I'd link to my review of the new Jurassic movie with a picture from the movie itself? Hell no! I'm reposting a photo of actor Jonathan Bailey -- see the rest of the shoot here -- because I know what the people want. As cute as he looks in his now branded "slutty little glasses" there's no denying those arms of his. (See also yesterday morning.) And it's kinda sad that the PR campaign for this movie is about to end with it hitting theaters today so let's enjoy this while we got it. Anyway... oh right, my review! Click here to read my Pajiba review of Jurassic World: Rebirth, which is all things considered totally fun. Yes it's a wee bit too cluttered, yes it's too long, and yes its characters do a lot of dumb things to keep the plot moving. I don't care. It's not Jurassic World: Dominion, which was so bad I considered it an assault on me personally, so I left the theater this time around pretty happy and satisfied. Director Gareth Edwards crushes a couple of action scenes, and... did I mention Jonathan Bailey? I really should. Just once. 

Cole Doman One Time


Seeing today this adorable sexy photo on Instagram of actor Cole Doman, formerly of the very fine movies Henry Gamble's Birthday Party (hey Stephen Cone whatcha up to?) and Mutt, reminded me of two things -- one, I don't think that his 2024 movie Haze (which co-stars Sense8 hottie Brian J. Smith and which I reviewed out of Fantasia Fest last year right here) has gotten a release yet, which is a damn shame. It's a good movie! Free Haze y'all! It would've been a smart drop for a streaming service during Pride Month but oh well. Hopefully we'll hear something soon. I'll keep my ears peeled. But this also reminds me that Cole is in the cast of Kelly Reichardt's next movie The Mastermind, which stars Josh O'Connor! That'll probably be Cole's most-seen movie to date and we can't help but root for this cute talented and out indie boy who stood in front of me in line waiting for a movie last year. Oh and this also reminds me that we got a new image of Josh in The Mastermind last week (click to embiggen) and god he looks goooood:


Five Frames From ?






What movie is this?

Good Morning, World


All I have in me today is energy for Mads, stache, and pie. 
So thankfully these two pictures exist or else I'd be shit outta luck.

Garrett Wareing Seven Times


I'd like to extend the most heartfelt of thank yous to young Mr. Wareing here for giving us all something to take our minds off the world for even the briefest of moments -- the only reason it's been relatively quiet in here for the past two days is I've been fairly paralyzed by anxiety due to the state of the world... more so than usual, that is. 

But I know we're all going through it (well the decent ones anyway) so I won't belabor it since we're here to distract ourselves from it. And if you need a slightly longer distaction you can click here and see several posts of Wareing that we've posted previously, even. Or just hit the jump and lose yourself in this fresh cowboy cosplay...

A Place in Andy


I wanted to like Chloe Domont's 2023 movie Fair Play a lot because it was sold as an erotic thriller starring Alden Ehrenreich and who doesn't want that? But I ended up being pretty meh on the movie in the end, finding it neither erotic nor thrilling. It was a load of straight nonsense. But that's not stopping me from being excited about Domont's next movie because how can I not be when it stars Michelle Williams, Andrew Scott, and Daisy Edgar-Jones? It's titled A Place in Hell and Neon just picked up the rights for it -- it's already been filmed and they're calling it a “thriller following two women at a high-profile criminal law firm.” Not sure where our man Andy fits into that dynamic but I hope it involves a lack of sleeves. 

Five Frames From ?






What movie is this?

I Wanna Run To Glen Powell


The trailer for Edgar Wright's remake of The Running Man -- okay I suppose we can call it a new adaptation of Stephen King's story, whatever -- has arrived and it looks like an absolute blast. I knew I was in for something special the second we saw Glen Powell smacking his tighty-whities-clad ass two times. We kept a running tally of people who got cast in this last year and the names were wild -- Colman Domingo, Josh Brolin, Michael Cera, Katy O'Brian, Lee Pace, Karl Glusman, Sean Hayes, and William H. Macy just to name the bigger names -- but the trailer mainly focuses on Glenn, Michael, Josh and of course Colman in the greatest showman role previously made iconic by Richard Dawson. And is it just me or...

... is Colman going to get a lot of comparisons to Tramell Tillman's showstopping work in the TV series Severance? That's all I could see. But lord knows I love Colman and he seems to be having a helluva time so bring it on. Everything looks hella fun actually -- this is definitely Wright bringing that sweet sweet Scott Pilgrim energy. (And the presence of Cera obviously underlines that.)  I don't think I spotted Glusman or Pace though -- do you think one of them is that masked man with the grenade? I'll have to go back and listen to the voice. Anyway watch:  

The Running Man (2025 edition) is out on November 7th.
How the hell is this not a summer movie???

Good Morning, World


Aaaacctually, now that I think about it,
good morning only to Jonathan Bailey's bicep.
