Everything You Ever Needed To Know About Life...
 
... you can learn from: The Good Girl (2002) Cheryl : Sit right down here, ma'am. We're going to make you pretty. Now how do you like your hair? Big Haired Woman: What? Are you going to do my hair? Cheryl: No, I just need to know if that's your usual way of wearing it, all big and high. If it is, I'll just put more makeup on your chin to offset it. You're going to want to take a ...

Mark Your Calendars! (In Pencil, Preferably!)
 
. Cabin in the Woods , you may remember ( previous post ), is the horror flick that Drew Goddard, aka excellent former Buffy / Angel writer, aka Cloverfield writer, is gonna be directing and co-writing with that Joss Whedon fellow. Well BD has a release date : "MGM has slated Drew Goddard's ( Cloverfield ) latest project, The Cabin in the Woods , for release October 23, 2009 , although ...

I'd Like To Think...
 
. ... that I would behave sanely, if I were to find myself in the situation these two parking attendants find themselves in at this moment. A goofy Josh Duhamel, buddying around with me, nothing but at most three pieces of flimsy cloth between me and his total nakedness... I'd like to think that I wouldn't be the sort of person who would push him over into a bush over the back of my friend ...

Quote of the Day
 
Last week I did a post over at The Film Experience on the inexplicable presence of Joan Allen in Paul W.S. Anderson's Death Race , opening tomorrow. Today Roger Ebert released his review of the film , and as expected it's a half-star savagery full of great tear-downs... but I especially loved what he said of Saint Joan: "And the warden of the prison is Hennessey, played by Joan Allen. ...

I Am Link
 
--- Swing And A... - BD has that picture of Jason Voorhees posted again that the studio made everybody - me included! - take down a few weeks ago. Yippee? Or Yawn? You decide! --- At this point , I don't care what Warner Brothers does with Trick 'r Treat , as long as they make up their damned minds and do something . STYD is saying they're releasing it on DVD - okay! Do that then. I'd ...

Thursday's Ways Not To Die
 
. Poltergeist III (1988) I left in a few extra screen-grabs of Lara Flynn Boyle screaming her ever-loving head off there, because I appreciate the fact that the film allows her to scream and keep on screaming for a good while after erupting out of a little person's dessicated corpse. Because... I think screaming is the correct course of action for her at ...

Such A Beautiful Douchebag
 
. Inspired by my previous birthday post in honor of his Urban Legend co-star, and keeping with a recent theme of posting six pictures of a crush from a favorite photo-shoot, there are six shots from what's probably my favorite Jared Leto photo-shoot, at least of recent times... note that the douchbaggery he's become so synonymous with is dialed down - no liquid eyeliner, no red ...

Happy Birthday, Alicia Witt
 
. She's 33 today! Why don't you work more, Alicia Witt ? I like it when I see your face. It reminds me of your glowing-eyed creepiness in David Lynch's Dune and it makes me think about how pretty and bland Jared Leto was as your love-interest in Urban Legend (I need to do a post on that terrifically terrible movie some time) and then you make me think of this scene from Twin Peaks : .  ...

Ewan Six Times
 
. This just might be the prettiest set of pictures taken of Ewan McGregor ever ( via ). I'm not sure what it is about them that is so enchanting... probably his eyes... those eyes ... Click 'em to embiggen and you too might fall into a happy-coma staring into those eyes. Hi, Ewan! .

There Will Be Webisodes
 
Ah sweet nectar of the sweetest nectary sort - happy Battlestar Galactica news from io9 today: "When Battlestar Galactica makes its long-awaited comeback next year, it won't just be our television screens that it's returning to. In a recent interview, executive producer David Eick revealed that fans can expect more The Resistance-style minisodes, as well. Talking to Newsarama, Eick ...

Pleasance-Ville
 
. I finished Roman Polanski's 1966 film Cul-de-sac last evening, and I liked the flick very much. Very dark, and very funny. I wrote up a little love letter to its lady-star Françoise Dorléac (seen above) over at The Film Experience today, so check that out . One note that I don't go into over there that the boyfriend brought up last night - the male lead in the film is played by ...

I Love Ellen
 
I don't really take the opportunity much to talk about my love of Ellen Degeneres here at MNPP - it just never seems to come up. But I do love her. I loved her back when her show was called These Friends of Mine and she was ostensibly heterosexual, and then she came out and I loved her more, and then one night I had this dream that she and I and Anne Heche were sitting at their breakfast ...

Today's Fanboy Delusion
 
Today I'd rather be... ... taking advantage of momentary invisibility with James Marsters. These are from the 6th season episode of Buffy the Vampire Slayer called "Gone," in which Buffy gets hits by an invisibility ray via the Geek Trio and hightails it over to Spike's pad... with sexy results ... ahh, 6th season Buffy - such a conflicted tramp! But a very happy birthday going out ...

Hello Dushku!
 
io9 is covering the Dollhouse beat pretty thoroughly these days, and bless them for it. Today they've got a ( spoiler -crammed) write-up set on alleviating our fears regarding the switcharoo that moved the original pilot to episode #2 and had Joss filming a new pilot episode. I skimmed it mostly, because I would like to have some surprises left when the show starts in January thank you very ...

Alessandro Nivola's Open Window Underpants Escapades
 
. Whilst working on my previous post about people I'd like to see guest star on Pushing Daisies , I stumbled upon this link , which holds a five-week-old interview with the actor known as Alessandro Nivola, in which two very important facts were doled out: 1) Alessandro Nivola lives in Brooklyn. 2) Alessandro Nivola walks around in front of open windows in said Brooklyn apartment in ...
