Daddy's Little Monster

We don't want to tire of the hype around Margot Robbie's Harley Quinn before even seeing Suicide Squad but the marketing sure is leaning heavily on her. Or, more existentially, the question: is it possible to steal a movie that's been given to you?

Your excitement level in the comments please.

Two Movie Advertisements of (Dubious) Note

Cheers to  Carefee Black Girl who is Italy and had the smarts to snap this incredibly unfortunate 12 Years a Slave poster. Yes, Brad sells tickets but at what price to a film's soul? 

Fox Searchlight isn't in charge of Italian distribution (IMDb doesn't say who is exactly though distributors are listed for France and Spain and a few other countries) but this just puts an unfortunate visual to the snarksters who originally attacked the movie with the "Brad Pitt solves slavery" tag when the movie first became our frontrunner.

This second advertisement, a TV spot dubbed "Outrageous" though not, unfortunately "Outrageous!!!" for August: Osage County speaks for itself. 

In a language we are not familiar with. Give us subtitles to understand the huhwazzit and the why of what we are seeing here? Why this ad now? Especially when the jingly music suggests a Christmas day opening that is no more. It's now opening on the 27th.

Snowy Subway Surprise

Should you be ever be travelling home from the dentist after a particularly excruciating visit (hypothetically speaking) I highly recommend being surprised by Ludivine Sagnier (recently interviewed) staring back at you from subway ads. Beauty is a great healer.

April Showers: Will Smith's Morning Routine

waterworks each weeknight at 11 pm

Be like Will Smith this week by practicing this I Robot morning routine: 8 easy steps.

1. Experience recurring dream in which you are rescued from drowning by a robot. This will be hard to do unless you're lucid dreaming, but if you're lucid dreaming take it there. Aren't lucid dreams trippy?

2. Wake up at 7:30 AM

3. Sit up in bed and massage your injuries. Will sometimes does this flesh rubbing with a loaded weapon but I would use something normal like your hand. Safer.

4. Play "Superstitious" by Stevie Wonder on your iTunes or last.fm as you...

5. Eat cold pie for breakfast*

Kirsten Dunst and a Lion

This doesn't purposefully follow that 'Deborah Kerr and a Kangaroo' post but these things happen, these things known as Coincidence. But we like actresses and we like animals, so there ya go. Anyway, remember when Julianne Moore was posing with exotic birds for Bulgari? Now, Kiki's gotten in on the act.

I feel like I should be the artistic director of this campaign. May I suggest...

• Mila Kunis with a racoon
• Amanda Seyfried and a deer
• Reese Witherspoon with elephants or Amy Adams with meercats (synergy!)
• Jodie Foster with a sloth
• Shelley Duvall with a platypus

Any other suggestions?
