In my searsh for Gabe-pics (for inspiration for something I'm working on) I found photographer Nick Haymes site. He had a bunch of awsome photos of Gabe, but the quality was crappy so I "had" to eBay-search the magazine they featured in and buy it (This whole thing required some detective-work and took days..) Well, I got the magazine from Ireland today!

"The Pacific" is the long-awaited follow-up to the WWII epic "Band of Brothers", which is one of the best minis ever created. (The best? Yeah, I dare to say so..) It is set to debut in March 2010.

Lol! I don't get Twilight at all, and it makes even less sence when you mix it together with the awsomeness that is Buffy!
The final Breaking Bad episode for the season is tomorrow and just the thought of that makes my stomach hurt (Appearently it's gonna end with a major cliffhanger, which doesn't make me feel any better.. They won't even start to shoot the third season until august.). That show has been fucking fantastic all the way through and I don't want it to end! Especially since all my other favourite shows - like Supernatural and House - has already ended for this season. Ugh!
There is the new season of Weeds coming up though (June 8), so I'll have those awsome 26 minutes every week..
And there is some bright light in the end of a long boring tunnel. No official airdates yet, but Entourage and Torchwood - Children of Earth is set for "summer", whatever that means.
I loved the 80's miniseries, but I'm strangely ambivalent to the remake (I'm usually hateful against everything that is remade.) I'll probably watch it... But with that said I think it will be cancelled pretty quickly. They'll pump all they got into the pilot.
Whats with all the church crap? Faith's gonna save mankind? If that's the case I'm out..
I finally got a chance to see “Otto, or Up with Dead People” last night. I’m not into zombie-flicks at all, but when its done by Bruce LaBruce you know it’s gonna be pretty darn special.
The movie is about the vulnerable young zombie Otto, who has no idea where he came from or where he is going. He’s discovered by underground filmmaker Medea Yarn, who begins to make a documentary about him and convinces one of her filmstars, Fritz Fritze, to allow Otto to stay in his guest bedroom. Soon Otto starts to remember a few details of his past - before he was dead - including memories of his ex-boyfriend. (trailer)
The movie reminds me about Gregg Araki’s earlier movies in the way it is filmed, characters, the music that is being used and (of course) the gay themes (Even if LaBruce is way more explicit, to say the least!). As a huge Araki-fan i think this is a good thing, hehe. Another resemblance is the fact that the acting is so-so, but does that matter? Not at all. Not to me at least, that is not the point. I’d rather see something different, something I’ve never seen, before some Hollywood acting piece.
And I’ve never seen anything like Otto, this humourous and rather touching gay-porno-ish zombie-flick. Not the best movie out there, and it’s not for everyone (!! lol) but some of the scenes defenitly did it for me. (Guess why;)
I’ve never read Maurice Sendak’s Where the Wild Things Are. It wasn’t a part of my childhood, but I really love the pictures from the book so when I heard about Spike Jonze’s filmatisation I started following the project. And ever since I saw the first stills I was pretty much sold. The whole thing is fucking beautiful, especially the little boy in the costume with the crown. I love it. (Trailer)
Heard this morning that Andy had passed away. It’s not like I’ve kept track of him after Angel, but still makes me sad (I mean, it’s Lorne!). Especially since it was so unexpekted. Heart failure? The guy was only 33 years old!
He died in the hospital last night, with his father by his side.
Rest in piece, bb ♥
I like this photoshoot and approve normal-lookin' Emile without the caveman-style he tried (and failed) to rock for a while..

There are many shows on that I love, adore, and feel I absolutely don’t want to have to live without. But even if I think people in general should know about them and watch them I pretty much keep them to myself and only suggest others to watch them if I think a show fits a persons taste especially well.
Breaking Bad is an exception.
I don’t know why, but I have a need to tell the whole world about this show. I don’t just want you to watch it, I need you to frickin’ know about, love it as much as I do and watch it! Because it’s the best show in the world? Might not be (It’s still very young), but it’s very fucking good, and if it eventually get cancelled just because enough people don’t knows about it or something stupid like that I would be fucking heartbroken (Gutted!).
The first season was cut really short cuz of the writers strike and I really believed it was screwed (Risktakers aren’t many in the land of tv networks, and I hadn’t even heard of AMC) but the show got its second season, which started a few weeks ago. So, it’s going well, the buzz is on and it might not need my support, still I want YOU to watch it.
Plot: Breaking Bad follows protagonist Walter White (Bryan Cranston – who is painfully good!), a chemistry teacher who lives in New Mexico with his wife (Anna Gunn) and teenage son (RJ Mitte) who has cerebral palsy. White is diagnosed with Stage III cancer and given a prognosis of two years left to live. With a new sense of fearlessness based on his medical prognosis, and a desire to secure his family's financial security, White chooses to enter a dangerous world of drugs and crime and ascends to power in this world. The series explores how a fatal diagnosis such as White's releases a typical man from the daily concerns and constraints of normal society and follows his transformation from mild family man to a kingpin of the drug trade.
Might not sound hilarious. And no, it’s not, hehe. “Bleak, heartbreaking, shocking and bitterly funny,” according to the critics. But trust me, Breaking Bad is great and you should all give it a big fat chance.
Seriously.
Watch it!
Sometimes there are those news in the universe of movie-making that makes someone like me go a bit crazy with excitement. Most of the time it’s favourite actors you never expected working together being in the same movie, or actor/director, actor/role, loved adaptations made by people you trust (and for me personally I go a bit happy-bonkers when a fave of mine plays gay. Because that’s my thing ;) etc. And sometimes things like these are so frickin’ good you almost can’t believe they are true. (When my biggest celebrity crush ever stared in the biggest movie in history and became a frickin’ household name was not one of those “things”.. )
My current crush and obsession is (still) the very talented Tom Hardy. Things are going really great for him right now, since Bronson premiered. The movie itself have gotten reviews describing it as everything from “okay” to “brilliant cult classic” (It’s not a movie for everyone. Not exactly mainstream, lol) but all the critics have one opinion in common; Tom is fantastic and can’t be denied.
That’s not the “I can’t believe its true” bit (I didn’t expect anything else of him..;) That moment came when I read about his next movie Warrior. (No, it’s not a gay role. He already did one of those in Rockn’rolla so I’m satisfied on that point, hehe.) But the guy will be playing a gawd damn MMA fighter..

Christopher Walken in Fatboy Slim's “Weapon of Choice”, Chevy Chase in Paul Simon’s “You can call me Al”, Keanu's Dean-impression in Paula Abdul's "Rush Rush", Robert Downey Jr in Elton John’s “I Want Love”. The list of actors featured in music videos are many (and more or less good. Should I mention Adrian Grenier in Britney’s “You Drive Me Crazy”? lol!) Here are some of my favourite appearances..

I have been really bad at following this years awards, but I couldn't exactly skip the oscars, could I.. (Haven't in 11 years.) I don't think I've ever been less interested though. I haven't even bothered to watch most of the "big ones" becuase they haven't captured my interest at all, even if I like people behind them. And Hugh Jackman? Ugh.. why..?
Edit: Now with videos!
Another magazine from last year, but this one is only one month old, yay me. This issue is of more interest for me now because my interest in Mr Hardy is slowly starting to grow into one of those crazy obsessions...

Found the autumn issue of Inked laying around (drowning in a pile of important shit). Guess it disappeared before I got around scanning it. Anyway, here’s a bit of glossy Bam Margera...

I like Christmas time and all, but it's nice to have my shows back on air after the holidays :)
Even if you don’t know who Olly Moss is you might have seen his popular work on the web or on people walking around with it (lookie lookie). Olly’s pretty much a Banksy of t-shirt designs. In other words: He’s awesome.
So, where am I going with this? Well, Olly have created a series of reinterpreted movie posters, and they are frickin’ brilliant.
