Run Alcides, Run. This episode finally gives you weres and shifters some room to move. Take advantage of it.
Joe Mangianello as Alcides.
"Let's Get Out of Here" But, alas, Alcides isn't fast enough. Bill snatches Sookie from his arms to rescue her from certain death in the pre-titles opening. [Editor's note: Certain death in television series means that tense space in time between the cliffhanger of the previous episode and the first three minutes of the current episode]. But his pre-credits run is telling; this episode is speedy and we'll dash through this post, too.
The run for your life plotting makes Antonia's next move extra distressing. She magically slams all the doors shut on the Moon Goddess Emporium, like she's Carrie White at the prom. Her former friends are now prisoners and coerced coven members.
Is she planning to wipe them out once she's done with the vamps? CLICK FOR FULL POST.
The Film Doctor has nine notes on Zach Snyder's Sucker Punch. Inside TV EW describes a truckload of new pilots. Which will make the cut for fall. Lots of movie peeps willing to say goodbye to movie stardom if their shows get picked up including Kerry Washington, Kat Denning, Zooey Deschanel and Patrick Wilson. Others like Anjelica Huston and Angela Bassett are less surprising since the film roles have dried up (Stupid Hollywood!) Serious Film offers up Lawrence of Arabia in the Line Reading Hall of Fame.
Julie Christie and Donald Sutherland, post coital in DON'T LOOK NOW
Twitch has doubts about Simon Kook becoming the new Thai action star in light of Tony Jaa's problematic career trajectory. Cartoon Brew want to learn about animation and story development from the Pixar folks? You can for $500 during their upcoming New York seminar. Movie|Line As the weekend began they followed up with the suddenly in-the-news again story about the infamous sex scene between Donald Sutherland and Julie Christie in Don't Look Now. Love the ending of the article.
Besides, what better way to spend a Friday than by trying to figure out if two movie stars had sex 38 years ago?
As for his denial, Peter Bart's new book, and Julie Christie's 38 year old refusal to answer the question... Trust no one. The only thing that makes these stories fun is that you really can't trust anyone. Only the director and the stars know for sure. But I'll say this: it looks just as convincing as the sex scene in Lust, Caution but in both cases, who knows? Editing can be deceiving. Especially when the editing is rapid fire and jaggedy as it it in both films.
And here is one of those freaky Taiwanese animated news renditions this time on Elizabeth Taylor's passing. I know some people will consider this disrespectful, but it's of a piece with what they do.
They always manage to come up with a few visual gags that show a certain amount of perverse creativity and actual thought. (Remember Jake Gyllenhaal's fruity penis from that SXSW news bit?) Plus I bet Elizabeth herself would guffaw as she had a great bawdy sense of humor about herself and everything else, too.
