Trailer Trash Friday: Inherent Vice

This looks awesome...

RIP Richard Attenborough, 1923-2014

Many may only remember him from Jurassic Park, but that's the curse of living to be 90. I first noticed him in The Great Escape, and though he went on to win an Oscar for directing Gandhi, I'll always remember him for this 1971 portrayal of serial killer John Reginald Christie:

RIP Richard, and haunt your brother about that Thermageddon hysteria.

The Santa Monica Killing Spree? Blame Seth Rogan

Yes, apparently because narcissistic pampered Hollywood punk Elliot Rodger couldn't even talk to a girl, let alone get naked with one, he went out and killed six people. His father blamed #EvilRethuglicanNRATeaPartyGuns, but no--says WaPo film critic Ann Hornaday: it's Seth Rogan's fault.

"How many students watch outsized frat-boy fantasies like 'neighbors' and feel, as Rodgers did, unjustly shut out of collegiate life that should be full of 'sex and pleasure'? How many men, raised on a steady diet of Judd Apatow comedies in which the shlubby arrested adolescent always gets the girl, find that those happy endings constantly elude them and conclude, 'it's not fair'?"

Well let's see...

Hmmm, socially awkward, two first names, plus the androgynous harem boy look? Yeah, that screams chick magnet.
I'm kind of surprised the lesbian radfems haven't jumped on this yet. Oh yeah, that's right--they think if all men look like this, they won't threaten anyone with their dicks. Guess they were right.
Well, even though Tipper Gore isn't around to arouse the ire of Frank Zappa by asking that warning labels be placed on music labels, lest our impressionable, special snowflakes be tuned into Satan worshipers, I'm sure we can expect Michelle to start a hashtag campaign against Rogan and Apatow: #saveoursexuallyrepressedpsychos?  Too subtle? What say you, then?

Damn, Bob Hoskins Dead At 71

Pneumonia...? Unreal. He'd retired after beginning to suffer from Parkinson's disease. Last saw him as a dwarf in Snow White and The Huntsman. First saw him in this...

RIP, Bob.

ICYMI: The Godzilla Teaser

I want to know what the other dead monster with the vestigial arms is. How many creatures does Godzilla kill? Because #KingOfTheMonsters.

Gee...I Wonder What This Movie Is About

Natalie Wood And...

For some reason TCM is showing a bunch of Natalie Wood flicks today. It's not her birthday, but it does give me a change to DVR The Great Race, in which she is--of course--fine.

But, as I was making sure it wasn't her birthday, I found--via the "people also searched for" thingy--her kid sister Lana wood. Don't remember her? You should--she was Plenty O'Toole:

Enjoy the movies. ;-) Oh, the top one embiggens.

Universal Copies Disney Gun Purge

Remember when Disney removed the EvilAssaultRifles© from the US posters of the Mandarin for Iron Man 3? Well Universal has done the same for Kick-Ass 2. In related news, Jim Carey just creamed himself.
