Link's Cutoff

Your Movie Buddy has already named a few "best of the year" posters (and it's only March!) including this absolute beaut for Meek's Cutoff to your left. Seriously. I like this poster better than the movie and I like the movie pretty well.
The Wrap has an open letter to David E Kelley about his new Wonder Woman series that doubles as a love letter to Joss Whedon. I think it's time the internet gave up that ghost as sad as it is to say farewell to.
Scene Stealers gives a fist up to Duncan Jones's Source Code with our Jake Gyllenhaal.
Slant also looks at the new scifi tinged thriller
Towleroad speaking of... some lame person at SXSW tried to snap a photo of Jakey doing his business in the bathroom. Uncool.
Critical Condition unburies 80s stinker Just One of the Guys and treats it like a hidden treasure.
Old Hollywood shares a great 70s quote from Peter Weir on Picnic at Hanging Rock (1975).
My New Plaid Pants Eeek. How did I miss this old Michael Fassbender commercial? So funny. And naked.
Finally, The Hairpin has curated an Netflix instant watch program called "Newman's Ownly" that sounds more delicious, soul-fattening, and spiritually satiating than any solo triple feature evening has any right to be
"'Hombre' means 'man'…and Paul Newman is 'Hombre'."
Should you partake in this orgy of celluloid Newmanliness, I only ask that you make it a double feature instead or replace Hud (1963) with another film somehow. Hud should be rented on DVD or simply bought on BluRay as it deserves better resolution than the generally good but still streamed "Instant Watch" can provide. It's one of those crispest and most perfect looking black and white films ever made, like it was carved from the purest cinematic marble by Michelangelo himself. There's one cold-eyed close-up of Newman that is so heart stopping I needed a defribulator to make it through the rest of the movie. Plus, Hud (1963) is one of the best movies of its entire decade so give it the space in your head that it deserves.

Thanks for linking! Shout out to Michael C. for mentioning "The Skin That I Inhabit" poster. I'm half tempted to amend the post and throw that baby in there. Such an interesting departure from Almodovar's usual, deeply saturated stuff.
Damn, that guy must have some balls to try and take a picture of Jake's Gyllenhaal.
Idk, I've always felt there was something slightly disturbing about "Just One of the Guys", can't put my finger on it though,
The nominations for the Lolas, the German Film Awards, are out. Tom Tykwer's "3" leads the pack with 6 nominations, followed by "Poll", "Vincent will meer" and "Wer wenn nicht wir" with 5 noms each.
Best Actor definitely is my favourite category this year, all three nominees (August Diehl, Alexander Fehling and Florian David Fitz) are hot, young (29, 35, 36) and talented. What's not to love? ;)
ok ANNA -- you've forced me into doing a post with that photo ;)
Mission accomplished then, haha. ;)
I have one for the actresses, too, it just isn't quite as hot.
Btw, Florian David Fitz also got a nom for Best Screenplay. Oh, and did I mention he can sing, too?
Can you tell I have a bit of a crush? ;)
Mormon with a Shotgun? Meek's Cutoff needs me to be on DVD/iTunes already.
