Free Katie campaign needs to be restarted

So it seems Katie Homes is once again getting ready to act.
First up she has the Guillermo del Toro produced horror film ‘Don’t Be Afraid of the Dark’ is which a young girl sent to live with her father and his new girlfriend (Holmes) discovers creatures in her new home who want to claim her as one of their own.
Not exactly the acting comeback she needs, but it is a start.
She should fair better with the rom com ‘The Romantics’ with Anna Paquin and Josh Duhamel.

In this she plays the maid of honour at the wedding of her best friend, however she has gotten it on previously with the groom. SLUT! Does Tom approve of this??
Malin Akerman, Elijah Wood, Jeremy Strong and Adam Brody complete the cast.

If Holes really wants to have a long term acting career she needs to follow Penelope Cruz and Nicole Kidman by having an amicable and clean break up.



Oh how I wish I had a free Katie t-shirt.

I would wear it with pride knowing that my dear Nicole and Penelope escaped unscathed, and hope that one day soon Katie will know the joys of being free from the crazy man and his cult.

Valkyrie trailer

OMG...TOm Cruise and his non attempt at even an English accent will ruin this. Or perhaps it is just another way for movies to re-write history saying America as responsible for all the good in the war. Lets hope the rest of the British cast are stellar to make up for it.

The "Valkyrie" hype machine begins

Well, what can I say. This sounds like instant Oscar bait, and actually looks pretty good, especially with the talented Singer aboard for directing duties……
…..but……
……..Tom Cruise.....yes….the closeted midget sports an eye patch, but will he do an accent? He is surrounded by brilliant British theps who no doubt can speak with a German lilt in their sleep, but can he….or will he end up sounding like some overly lispy steriotype?

We all knew from the beginning that this film is all going to be about the Cruise. A shame as I bet the Academy are itching to reward Nighy, Fry and Izzard (just for the acceptance speeches alone) as well as welcome back previous nominees Branagh, Stamp and Wilkinson.

Lets hope these overly talented men get their due, and the extremely talented Carice van Houten get to be more than a soppy love interest.

Trailer Park

A second and better look at “Eastern Promises” by David Cronenberg, with Viggo Mortensen, Naomi Watts, and Armin Mueller-Stahl. This looks like is could be an Actors showcase, especially for Mueller-Stahl and Mortensen (women usually do not fare as well in this genre – sorry Naomi). The thing that gets me excited is seeing a naked and tattooed Viggo in a fight. That will be worth sitting through any gruesome killings for.
Movie Box has also added loads of film clips to wet your appetite

The “Atonement” sight has loads of film clips for you to watch. The best are ‘Briony’s Play’ to get a taste of the wonderful Saoirse in action. Kiera and James prove themselves captivating in ‘Letter Writing’. Watch the site as there are more to come!!!

Another horror remake comes with “One Missed Call”. The trailers always look to be effective, but you know the end result will not be impressive.

“Lions for Lambs” is desperately trying to make this look good. But the trailer does nothing for my interest……most likely because the gay scientologist midget is in it. Also Redford looks a little bit plastic.

And finally the new Cate Blanchette gimmick gets a brand new film clip.

Come out, come out, wherever you are!

I was watching Perez Hilton defend himself on The View, and it lead to a bit o a heated debate between me and the bf.
BF is under the impression that gays in Hollywood should not be outed. I believe that gays in Hollywood who deny their sexuality should be outed, especially when such denials border on homophobia.

In the U.S. gay rights suck! Luckily for me they do not here in the currently wet U.K. All of the gay celebrities who come out go on to have a very lucrative careers. Will Young was the first Pop Idol winner, and came out immediately after he won, and went out to be very (and still is) successful.

It is easier over here I guess, although it is funny how the Brits are still considered to be stuffy and sexually repressed by Americans (have you seen our television, read our magazines??) when we are so much more liberal when it comes to equality.

However, you get the gay stories that last YEARS about celebrities which are always denied by themselves or worse yet, publicists. What is the worst that will happen should they come out? They may not get work, but they will raise the issue of gay rights into the papers.
Neil Patrick Harris did just that, and everyone thinks the better of him for it. His career to date has not suffered at all, he just beat the rumor mills to the punch.
Well done.
Best way to deal with it I say.
Ellen DeGeneres has had a career resurgence since her coming out. “Finding Nemo” then her own show, crowned off with a very successful gig hosting the Oscars. Must have felt good having an openly gay host in a room full of closet cases.

Tom Cruise has denied these rumors for ages, going as far as suing magazines who print he is a big ole poof, for slander.
Slander!!!
Nice Tom. Great way to make all the young gay boys and girls who are struggling with their sexuality feel REALLY great about themselves is to label them as something slanderous.
What a big ole closted, self hating c*nt.
Harsh I know, but I really cannot stand the man and his religion.
Apparently you cannot enter the religion of Scientology if you are gay. REALLY!! It seems as though your two biggest supporters are just that. Tom Cruise has spent his entire career suing men who say they have slept together. Perhaps if you had called afterwards Tom, they wouldn’t feel hurt enough to go to the papers.
I mean to quote the lovely Rose McGowan in “Scream”, “You can only hear that Richard Gere gerbil story so many times before you believe it is true”.
Well Tom, the amount of different stories that pop up about you and your activities do not leave a lot of room for doubt. Sue me.

And then we have Mr. Travolta.
Is it ok to dress up in a fat suit to play a female character that has been famously played by not one, but two famous gay men in your religion?
We all know L. Ron Hubbard (the scientologists God) was a homophobe and a bit of a racist, what would he think of you kissing your supposed lover (pictured) and running about on screen in drag? I am sure at the very least you would be in for a spanking…maybe from Tom himself. At least John, you do not run around waving a big ole 'I'm not Gay!' flag like Tom does. I will give you that.

All this celebrity bashing/outing is fun I guess, but it is sad that even though I am out and happy and content, we live in a world where many people feel they cannot be.
Elton John, Ian McKellen, Melissa Etheridge, Rupert Everett, Graham Norton, Ellen Degeneres, Neil Patrick Harris, Tracey Chapman, Allan Cumming, Chad Allen, Sandra Bernhard, Stephen Fry, Cherry Jones, Nathan Lane, Little Richard, Johnny Mathis, Rosie O’Donnell, Michael Stipe, Lily Tomlin, Gus Van Sant, Gore Vidal, Rufus Wainwright, and John Waters has all come out and survived and become icons to the rest of us. For them I am thankful and hold the utmost respect. For those who are gay, and publicly denounce it, thanks for furthering hatred and fear you bunch of assholes.

Lions For Lambs trailer

What is this really? I mean sure Meryl looks like she gives yet another good performance, but at this rate all she has to do is beltch for me to worship at her feet. But the music, the scenes they show, the male leads acting it is all so hammy.
I think this one may be a real let down.
What were they thinking releasing this trailer? It comes across as a SNL or French and Saunders (hilarious clip alert) parody of a movie trailer. I kept expecting Jack Nicolson to walk on and shout "You can't handle the truth!!" and give the camera a little wink.
Than again I could be biased, the tiny little gay scientologist scares me.

Shooo little Scientologist, shoo!!

From The Hollywood Reporter

BERLIN -- Germany has barred the makers of a movie about a plot to kill Adolf Hitler from filming at German military sites because its star Tom Cruise is a Scientologist, the Defense Ministry said on Monday.

Cruise, also one of the film's producers, is a member of the Church of Scientology, which the German government does not recognize as a church. Berlin says Scientology masquerades as a religion to make money, a charge Scientology leaders reject.

Ha ha ha ha ha ha!!! Gotta love those Germans!
There are a lot of religions out there, and I am fine with it usually. When they start to creep me out is when they start looking like a cult. This one particularly looks like a cult. They scare me the way really right wing Christians scare me, and Freemasons/Fraternities do.

Aliens need to land, and land soon. Then we will al have much bigger fish to fry.

Acting is all in the pixels

Jennifer Connolley cannot act!!!!
Or at least it appears that way…read it here
What this means is that soon actors will just have to show up and give a wooden line reading and go home. Great news for Beyonce. Soon the visual effects department will be nominated for acting awards.

I love the fact that Tom Cruise has a clause in his contract granting him full control of his own digital assets. This either means his performances are not digitally altered (in which case he seriously needs a re-think), or they are (in which case visual effects are years off creating human like emotion).
