Entertainment - AKA shallow observations, crude commentary and boobies
I haven't done an entertainment post in a while, as evidenced by some of the content after the cut. All NWS links are behind links. The title for this says it all. When I do entertainment posts I have a tendency to give in to the drunken geek teen in me, ogling and rambling. Enter at your own risk of offense.
First, two sets of pics for the ladies...
Hugh Jackman out for a swim
There is no getting around the fact this is a fine looking man. He is dear to my heart because he played a perfect Wolverine, of course. He is also an outright exceptional actor. Anyone who doubts this, seeing him as just another shallow action star, is unfamiliar with his work in Boy from Oz 6:13 Video (click to about 3:00 in. That's range.
And now he's been voted 2008's Sexiest Man Alive, which means he has a good publicist and a film coming out.
Then there is Zac Efron. He may look like the modern day version of the leading male, vaginified milquetoast who would cry if you poked him, for the movies. (You know, not to mention playing a high schooler) In this pic he does not.
PS, he's starring in a remake of Footloose. 1) a remake will almost certainly suck. 2) Say what you will about Kevin Bacon, but even prancing around he looked like a rebellious young MAN. Efron, so far, fails in that category. I do not have high hopes.
The new Star Trek trailer excites me... BUT...
I don't know the story, but Kirk looks like he can't buy a beer. WTF?!? I fear I'm going to be disappointed. That Abrams is not a ST fan could be a good or a bad thing. On the plus side, it might forgo a lot of the crap that made it worse as time passed. (Voy was insulting, as was the middle 80% of ENT). On the other hand, I already know this one has time travel (which should have been dispensed with) and Hollywood's version of strong male leads, an effeminate emo boy in the lead.
Speaking of effeminate emo male leads...
AHAAHAHHAHAHAAAAAAAA
Town in Wa fleecing Twilight retards
"Look, if you’re feeling at all homicidal this morning, just stop reading now because this isn’t going to help any. The gist of the story is that when Stephenie Meyer was writing Dawson’s Crypt, she chose Forks, Washington as the setting, even though she’d never been there, because it happened to be the rainiest city in the lower 48. The town of 3,000 has since become the epicenter of the new Idiot Tourism industry."
I mean seriously. Nothing against lovers of the books. I haven't read them. Maybe they're masterpieces. But look at the actors. Which ones are the girls?!?
Is This The New Lame Fantasy Phenomenon?
"Variety reports that producers have optioned “House of Night,” a nine-part series of young adult novels. The series supposedly takes the vampire myth in a whole “new” direction, aka it turns Twilight into Harry Potter with fangs:"
I support this. The more people are inundated with this the sooner it might all die.
Robert Downey Jr. pics from new Sherlock Holmes

Not sure how I feel about this, but both Law and Downey are fine actors.
I linked this about Clooney only because I enjoy the commentary on Hollywood and military films.
If you ever want to see the difference between left and right wing, go rent Full Metal Jacket then the exceptional We Were Soldiers.
Could Tim Burton Direct “Pirates 4″?
Hm. Well, it would be dark, strange, and Helena Bonham Carter will be in it. That's all we know for sure.
I didn't see the third one. I loved the first. The second was so very bad I decided not to bother with 3. The previews for it showed it looked all the more silly.
Might be interesting.
Pushing You To Watch "Daisies"
The cutest show on television may soon no longer be with us. That right there is a damn shame.
The most compelling argument for Obama I have ever seen
I have no idea of the content of the post. I linked for the pic.
Dam you Tom Cruise! Katie Holmes looking like a corpse.
One of the best pictures of Jennifer Aniston I have ever seen
Rose McGowan has rarely ever done anything for me. I have never gotten the attraction.
This would be an exception to that rule.
Calling all nerds.
Heidi Klum owns Halloween. Now that is a costume that is not kidding around.
MOTHER. OF. GOD.
Kate Beckinsale on Halloween
She keeps proving over and again that he husband is a very lucky man.
You'll probably need to 'shop these to see anything but Keira Knightley topless
Oh my.
Anna Paquin nude scene from True Blood
I'd have preferred her standing, but I've been longing to see her naked since ... well, dates are just numbers... right? Um, anyway...
And finally, some laughs.
I have not been following the reaction since the genius that is Joss Whedon's Dr' Horrible's Sing-a-Long Blog. Apparently there have been some developments, including a contest for Evil League of Evil applicants.
This is a blog of some guy's picks for the Top Five ‘Dr. Horrible’ Evil League of Evil Applicants, and they are pretty damn funny. The kid from Baron Mind really impressed. And Pickle Jar has some great lines.
