If we get a big turnout or robust discussion for the next two weeks, we'll conclude this season of "Hit Me" at the end of August instead of the 1st with a few weeks of major classics!
My New Plaid Pants filled me with ??? and !!! and lolz with this post on terrible sequel movie What's Happened To Rosemary's Baby. Vanity Fair Angelina Jolie is... SLINKY Amiresque on seeing your home town on film (Take This Waltz) My Boyfriend is an Engineer awesome new tumblr devoted to Prometheus' wacky troublemaker.

Today's Must Read Some Came Running Glenn Kenny on the internet we made and fanboy culture. Can it ever mature? Love this part...
...this thing called "fan culture" or "nerd cuture" or whatever it is you want to call it is largely predicated on emotional immaturity combined with a variety of willed cultural illiteracy. Fan culture doesn't say "comic books can be high art," it says, "comic books are the only art." And, further, "the film of the comic book must provide an analogous heightened experience of the comic book, and YOU, the person on the outside of our purview who is now being gifted with this artifact of AWESOMENESS, must fall into line and PRAISE this artifact and confer upon it the legitimacy it has always deserved but which YOU have been too blinkered by your own pretentious prejudices to recognize." That's what fan culture wants. That's what it demands. "Nerd culture" is Peter Pan as a brain-eating zombie.
Today's Video of Choice Quentin Tarantino's women via Neko Case...
If only all guy's guy's directors were this good with female characters!
My thanks to JA of MNPP for the best hashtag ever. Tonight, I needed some beauty in my life so I was staring at these W Magazine pictures of Charlize Theron and Michael Fassbender again. If Global Warming must destroy us all, let the heat come from sexually combustible celebrity couplings instead of mankind's stupid disregard for the environment.
These two could melt ice caps. More pics and hilarious Charbender exchange after the jump.
Hot on the heels of this beautiful new teaser poster for The Master, movie poster as chilled wine, we get the full trailer! P.T. Anderson's long awaited big screen return teaser post recalls the also evocative and text-focused teaser poster for There Will Be Blood which will be a very tough act to follow.
Even the Academy, which had resisted his sometimes challenging, defiantly eccentric and untraditional melding of epic treatment to non-traditionally-epic subject matter got into There Will Be Blood. But if anyone can live up to that film, wouldn't it be P.T.? He's never made anything less than a good movie and quite often he manages instant classics: Hard Eight, Boogie Nights, Magnolia, Punch Drunk Love, and There Will Be Blood. (Good luck finding anyone else with a filmography that consistently fine!)
QUESTION: What do Channing Tatum and Rick Moranis have in common? Those readers who don't know who Rick Moranis is (you're just a baby!) can skip ahead to the comments for the answer...
