Morning Meme: "Akira" Casting Rumors, Chris Evans Shows Skin and Crawling In Bed With Scott Gill and John Barrowman
The folks behind The Vampire Diaries and Pretty
Little Liars are kicking off a web series called Dating Rules From My Future Self starring
tips.
In news that I'm sure is going to anger, well, everyone,
rumor has it that Akira is planning to cast Gary
Oldman as The Colonel and Helena Bonham Carter as Lady Miyako.
I have never wanted children of my own, but I imagine the
longing is similar to what I feel for new electronic toys. For me, seeing the Nest
Thermostat is a lot like finding out you're expecting twin geniuses.
Speaking of things that are inspired by Steve Jobs, how would we feel about an adaptation of his biography being written by Aaron Sorkin? To me, the issue with Sorkin writing anything about
real people is that his dialog always sounds like Aaron Sorkin and not like
the people he's depicting.
It looks like we'll have to refuel the drones the gay mafia
have hovering over homes in California to take out witnesses in the Prop 8 trial,
because the judge has again extended the stay on the seal of the trial video
tapes. Thank heavens that as purveyors of the Gay Agenda we have infinite resources to smite
our enemies.
Did Pat Robertson
really say that the fringe elements of the Republican Party were dragging the presidential candidates so far right they
wouldn't be able to win a general election? Not that he's wrong, but I didn't
think Robertson ever made sense any more.
Queensland, Australia is set to pass a civil unions bill. Meanwhile, New Hampshire moves a step closer to repealing marriage equality.
While Chris Evans
may have used a butt double for What's Your Number, that doesn't
mean he didn't spend a lot of the movie naked except for a dish towel. Or
a guitar. Or maybe just an apple.
I want a crossbow
snowball launcher.
Chaz was eliminated on Dancing With the Stars last night,
but there's no doubt that he made a positive impression on the world this
season.
Episode 7 of Glee is huge for Santana.
Beyond that, I'm not saying a thing.
As expected, Michael
Fassbender's Shame has been slapped with an NC-17 rating for graphic sex and
full-frontal male nudity. I always find it fascinating that full-frontal female
nudity is never a reason for an NC-17, just male nudity.
I'm fascinated with this widget that estimates the world's population on a given date, like your
birthday. When I was born, there were only about 3.6 billion of us. Now we're
almost double that, despite my contribution of not procreating.
Occupy Duckburg. Break open the Money Bin!
The Racked Awards are given for different NYC retailing
achievements. But I'm fascinated that sexy, uber-gay Nasty Pig clothing was nominated for Best Window, along with Barneys and winner
Bergdorf Goodman. Maybe Barney's shouldn't have shouldered Simon Doonan aside.
Steven Tyler fell
in the shower in Paraguay and knocked out several teeth. He's doing O.K., though shows
had to be canceled. I'm torn between a joke about the dangers of a shower to
older folks, or the dangers of sobriety on balance.
I'm guessing that Ender's Game is actually happening, because Summit has assigned it a
March 15, 2013 release date. Between my fear that the story can't be filmed and
my disgust that Orson Scott Card
gets more money to direct against gay rights I had really hoped it would die
quietly. Again.
Senator Leahy has set hearings on the Respect for Marriage Act for
November 3.
I am entirely convinced that there is a painting of Jared Leto in an attic somewhere aging at a disturbing rate. I'm only a month older than Leto, and trust me, it's not like I've been turning down offers to have Terry Richardson shoot me in a man skirt for Vogue UK.
If I get to pick a celebrity photographer, I pick Adam Bouska
I'm really sorry about this image. Stick with you it will.
There are some sick, sick people out there.
This was pointed out to me in Twitterwatch. Thank you.
I need this shirt. I also need the pecs to position it properly for the joke.
New poster for The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo, but since I know nothing about the story, I have no idea what they intend to convey.
Probably not going to bother seeing this.
We interviewed Alan Ritchson in LA this week. With Ritchson as a subject, of course we also had to take some photos! Here's one. We'll publish the interview and a number of other photos next week!
Whaddaya know - Alan Ritchson looks good with clothes on too
With Halloween approaching, it only seems appropriate to watch this supercut of evil villains laughing. I love that they use Dr. Horrible to coach the villains on their laughs.
For the record, Nic Cage pees fire in real life. they didn't use special effects in Ghost Rider. He really should see someone about that.
I'm just going to come out and say it: This Air Force recruiting video is just embarrassing, and I'm an Air Force veteran. Seriously - why make up planes of the future like that? It was like watching a cheap version of Starship Troopers.
Curl up in bed with James Franco and read? Don't mind if I do. But if it was Dave Franco instead, not much reading would take place.
Looks like 50 Cent has attempted to recreate The Hangover in order to sell energy drinks. I'm not really clear on why.
Darren Criss serenades one of the greatest songwriters of a generation by changing the lyrics of his songs to mock him, then duets on "A Whole New World" with Lea Solonga.
Johnnie Walker attempts to spoof the Old Spice ads... and fails miserably. I think the Old Spice stuff is just so heightened and over the top it really is impossible to top it.
Robot Chicken is going to dedicate an entire episode to mocking super heroes. As a promo, they give us this skit with the Green Lantern that may be NSFW. My friends and I always felt GL was the gayest of the Super Friends, and this isn't helping his straight cred.
