Good Golly! MAGIC MIKE's new Poster is Ab-tastic!

It's easily going to be one of the steamiest movies of the summer, and finally Magic Mike has a poster worthy of it!

Our favorite hot bodies are absolutely drool worthy, and now the only question is where can I get my hands on one, uhh, poster that is.

If you've been living under a rock, and have chosen to ignore the sighs around you, Magic Mike stars Channing Tatum, Alex Pettyfer, Joe Manganiello and Matthew McConaughey.


Magic Mike is inspired by Tatum's experiences working as a stripper before his acting career took off. But instead of the lead, Tatum plays the mentor to Pettyfer's character, a performer in the troupe.

Magic Mike arrives in U.S. theaters on June 29, 2012. It also stars Matt Bomer, Olivia Munn, Riley Keough and Cody Horn.

Arvid Nelson's REX MUNDI Slays Dark Horse Presents, Gets Omnibized!‏

ARVID NELSON’S REX MUNDI SLAYS DARK HORSE PRESENTS, GETS OMNIBIZED!

 May 31, MILWAUKIE, OR—Arvid Nelson’s critically acclaimed Rex Mundi gets collected in two omnibus volumes and returns in the Eisner-nominated anthology Dark Horse Presents #15, with a new tale of murder, mystery, heresy, and the occult!

Paris, 1933. Europe is still in the grip of feudalism, sorcerers stalk the streets at night, and secret societies vie for power. When a medieval scroll disappears from a Paris church, Dr. Julien Saunière begins uncovering a series of horrific ritual murders connected to the Catholic Church. His investigation turns into a one-man quest to uncover the deepest secrets of Christianity, a trail of conspiracy that extends all the way to the walls of Jerusalem during the First Crusade. Rex Mundi is the tale of a quest for the Holy Grail told as a murder mystery, set in a world where magic is real and the Catholic Church never lost its grip on power.

“I’m thrilled Dark Horse is making Rex Mundi available in an omnibus format—it’s the way it was always meant to be read! The story in Dark Horse Presents is the perfect introduction for new readers, and I think old-timers will get a kick out of it, too. We open things up with the Holy Inquisition in Paris, the day before the main story line begins,” stated Arvid Nelson.

Rex Mundi Omnibus Volume 1 (of 2) is set to collect Rex Mundi Volumes 1–3 and will feature the complete Brother Matthew short story!

Dark Horse Presents #15 is on comic stands August 22, 2012.

Rex Mundi Omnibus Volume 1 is on sale September 5, 2012.

CHRISTOPHER REEVE,
MARLON BRANDO COSTUMES
FROM SUPERMAN: THE MOVIE
WILL BE FEATURED
AT PROFILES IN HISTORY'S
JULY HOLLYWOOD AUCTION

THE AUCTION WILL BE THE WEEKEND OF
JULY 20 IN LOS ANGELES

LOS ANGELES- May 31 - Profiles in History, run by Joe Maddalena, is proud to announce that a complete Christopher Reeve Superman costume and complete Marlon Brando "Jor-El" costume from Superman: The Movie will be for sale at their July Hollywood auction. These items are a part of the fabled Dreier Collection, a collection of such breadth and immensity that it will take several years to completely auction off.

The complete Christopher Reeve Superman costume consists of a long sleeve leotard of blue and red stretch jersey, a chest emblazoned with the trademark Superman “S” and an interior Bermans & Nathans label typed “Christopher Reeves [sic] 12186 Superman”; a pair of matching blue stretch nylon tights with interior Bermans & Nathans label typed “Christopher Reeve Colour A 18629”; a yellow-painted leather belt; a long flowing cape of scarlet wool with padded shoulders and interior bias label handwritten “C. Reeve Colour B Walking,” the back having a yellow Superman “S” logo with black stitched borders; and a pair of knee-length red leather boots with zipper closures, each boot with Bermans & Nathans labels typed “Christopher Reeves [sic] 12188” and handwritten “Waterproof.” The costume was originally acquired by a sub-contractor who worked as a set decorator and a special effects flying/rigging technician on the first two Superman films at Pinewood studios in London. Its ownership was later transferred to a make-up artist in Nashville, TN, whose letter of provenance will accompany this fantastic costume. Studio labeled throughout, this costume is without question, the finest original Christopher Reeve Superman costume Profiles in History has ever encountered. Easily one of the most recognizable costumes in Hollywood history, it is the most important complete costume from this landmark film ever brought to public auction. It is expected to fetch $60,000 – $80,000.

Marlon Brando wore this amazing, complete Jor-El costume in his memorable role as the father of Superman in Superman: The Movie. The costume consists of a tunic with the iconic “S” insignia with faux jewel detailing, sleeveless full-length robe with faux jewel detailing on the shoulders, pants and boots. The entire costume is layered with a luminous silver/gray reflective material, which appears to glow when subjected to strong light. This ingenious costume effect was first innovated in this production and used on all of the inhabitants of the planet Krypton providing a fantastic otherworldly appearance. Tunic, robe and boots have Bermans and Nathans labels typewritten “Marlon Brando Superman.” The costume comes with a Warner Bros. certificate of authenticity and is expected to fetch $60,000 – $80,000.

You can also own the screen-used Kryptonite crystal and box from Superman III. This green resin “crystal” formation of the crippling mineral Kryptonite is Superman’s only weakness. Measuring 12 in. long and 6 in. tall, this particular prop can be positively screen-matched to the scene where Christopher Reeve is shown cradling the piece in his hands, as a small imperfection on one edge is clearly visible. The box was used by Gus Gorman (Richard Pryor) in disguise as an army general to deliver his synthetic Kryptonite to Superman at the Smallville town fair. Includes a dark wood box with polished brass fittings and measuring approx. 12 in. x 12 in. x 8 in. It includes a letter of authenticity and is expected to fetch $8,000 – $12,000.

The Beastmaster with Don Coscarelli

Who doesn’t love The Beastmaster?  I’ve lost track of how many times I’ve watched it.  Marc Singer was the coolest; talking with animals & slaughtering the Jun Horde was just awesome. How could my viewing pleasure be any better?

Crypticon Seattle topped all my previous viewings with a screening featuring live commentary with director Don Coscarelli, Crypticon board member Steve Lange, and Seattle comedians Emmett Montgomery and Elicia Sanchez.
It started out as fun facts and turned into a home show version of Mystery Science Theater.  Besides adding little known facts like a guy at an S & M shop designed the costumes and claws for the mindless Death Guards, there were also hysterical comments throughout.  For example, during the scene where Tanya Roberts falls and her butt shows.   Don comments, “I always liked that shot.”

The small venue (about 25 people) allowed audience members to ask questions about their favorite scenes.  One viewer wanted to know how Don was able to get such great footage of the hawk soaring.  Don replied the hawk only soared as it was landing.  Therefore, they put it in a bird cage and attached the cage to helium balloons.  When the cage was high enough, they triggered the door to open and filmed the bird as it soared down to its trainer.
Sometimes comments did lean toward the adult viewing pleasure.  Picture the scene:  camera angle from the end of a rope cropped tightly around Marc Singer’s hands as he pulls the rope through a ring, then Elicia Sanchez utters, “Great shot, very sexual.”  In another scene, Roberts kisses Singer and asks if he will now come with them.  Emmett Montgomery replies, “I’m gonna *** all over you” while Singer just smiles on screen. 

The comments continued intermingled with Don’s ‘cool facts.’  Did you know that the Death Guard’s mask didn’t have any eye sockets?  “That’s right,” Don chuckled, “the actor kept running into walls.”  Now go back and watch this movie at home.  Try not to crack up when you see the Death Guard running aimlessly though hallways swinging his arms so he wouldn’t run into a wall, I dare ya.  
There were also other hazards in the Jun Horde temple.  The torches used put out black smoke.  The entire crew wore breathing masks while the actors completed the scenes.  The make-up people continually used Q-tips to clean out the actors’ nostrils.  Don said he chuckles when he sees the one shot where Roberts has black around her nose.

Don also shared limitations on budget. The scene when Singer meets his father has them surrounded by local dirt farmers.  It was shot at night in a Simi Valley.  Dan hired local homeless people since the budget only allowed for $25 a day per person.  “It was freezing outside.  We gave them robes and huddled them by fires.  They looked like dirt farmers.”
One day Singer came to the set making a honking sound.  Don said he asked him he was making that noise.  Singer replied, “I have to talk to the hawk.”  Singer continued practicing his ‘hawk’ sound all day.  The next time singer saw the cat, he started going, “Grrrrr.”

As the movie was ending (spoiler alert), one of the ferrets falls into a fiery pit.  The entire saddened audience went, “Awwwwe.”  To which Don replied, “Someone had to die.” Then poof!  The sadness was gone.  Don continued, “In the original script Robert’s character died, but the producers over ruled me.”
This is my new favorite way to watch eighties movies.  Instead of a scripted director’s commentary on DVDs, I think they should include a taping of the director and two comedians watching the movie.  It’s much more interesting. 

I want to thank Don Coscarelli for sharing his memories and poking fun at his cult classic.  Wonderful idea Crypticon Seattle, this should be an annual event.  Maybe Don with Phantasm next year.

DJANGO UNCHAINED New Images!

See Jamie Foxx, Christoph Waltz and Leonard DiCaprio in action in six new stills from DJANGO UNCHAINED, the latest film from Academy Award®-winning writer and director Quentin Tarantino

Also starring Samuel L. Jackson and Kerry Washington, DJANGO UNCHAINED opens in theaters everyone on December 25, 2012.

DJANGO UNCHAINED.

Set in the South two years before the Civil War, DJANGO UNCHAINED stars Academy Award®-winner Jamie Foxx as Django, a slave whose brutal history with his former owners lands him face-to-face with German-born bounty hunter Dr. King Schultz (Academy Award®-winner Christoph Waltz). Schultz is on the trail of the murderous Brittle brothers, and only Django can lead him to his bounty. The unorthodox Schultz acquires Django with a promise to free him upon the capture of the Brittles – dead or alive. Success leads Schultz to free Django, though the two men choose not to go their separate ways. Instead, Schultz seeks out the South’s most wanted criminals with Django by his side. Honing vital hunting skills, Django remains focused on one goal: finding and rescuing Broomhilda (Kerry Washington), the wife he lost to the slave trade long ago. Django and Schultz’s search ultimately leads them to Calvin Candie (Academy Award®-nominee Leonardo DiCaprio), the proprietor of “Candyland,” an infamous plantation. Exploring the compound under false pretenses, Django and Schultz arouse the suspicion of Stephen (Academy Award®-nominee Samuel L. Jackson), Candie’s trusted house slave. Their moves are marked, and a treacherous organization closes in on them. If Django and Schultz are to escape with Broomhilda, they must choose between independence and solidarity, between sacrifice and survival… '

Written and directed by Academy Award®-winner Quentin Tarantino, DJANGO UNCHAINED is produced by Stacey Sher, Reginald Hudlin and Pilar Savone. The executive producers are Harvey and Bob Weinstein, Michael Shamberg, Shannon McIntosh, and James Skotchdopole. DJANGO UNCHAINED will be released in the U.S. by The Weinstein Company on December 25, 2012, and internationally by Sony Pictures.

Game of Thrones Recap: Blackwater


War is finally upon us. Stannis’ fleet sails to King’s Landing, but it’s a rough journey. The tide is against them, though the wind is with them. Davos seems less than enthusiastic about this war, though his son has full faith. Davos tells him that the walls have never been breached, but his son doesn’t sway in his faith.

Tyrion spends his final hours before the war in bed with Shae. She fiercely vows to protect him, but he doesn’t wish her to. He’s stuck in this war no matter the outcome, but Shae will not be persuaded. She makes tender love to him, like it’s their last day.

The Maester speaks with Cersei, but she hurries him to his point. He gives her some Nightshade, a calming potion, that can easily turn deadly. She takes it from him, and sends him away.

The men of King’s Landing feast. Bronn indulges in song and whores. The Hound enters, and he’s just as chipper as usual. The Hound seems more merry than normal. He tells Bronn that “killing is the thing you love, just like me, only smaller.” And just as things are about to turn bad between the men, the bells of war sound.

Tyrion gets into his armor, and Varys questions his trust in the boy who is assisting before he shows him a detailed map. Varys gives him news on Stannis and his taking up with the Red Priestess. Varys has seen too much, and he believes what Tyrion does not. He thinks that Stannis taking the throne would be the worse thing possible, and that the only person that can stop him is Tyrion.

With their imminent arrival known, Stannis’ men begin to drum,  and speed up their arrival.

Tyrion and Bronn discuss their friendship, and he spots Sansa and Shae. Sansa hasn’t gone to safety yet because Joffery has asked for Sansa to see him off. Joffery shows Sansa his new sword hearteater. They spar with words, and Sansa’s distaste for him is ever at the surface. Shae tells her that many of the men will not come back, but Sansa knows that the worse always survive.

Joffery tries to flex his power stupidly, as if he flexes it any other way, and Tyrion again put the boy in his place.

Cersei gathers with the other women. Sansa wonders why Cersei wishes her there, if she hates her. Shae tells Sansa that she’s likely jealous, when Cersei calls to her. Cersei offers her a glass of wine, but Sansa tries to refuse it.  Cersei gets news of the first betrayal, and Cersei gives swift orders to have their heads mounted to instill fear upon the common folk.

Stannis’ archers get in place. Tyrion’s men hold fast, and Joffery wonders where the rest of his ships are. Stannis’ nmen wonder the same. The ship looks to be empty. The Alchemist passes a flame to Tyrion, and Davos sees the wildfire. A single archer shoots his arrow, and ignites the wildfire. Boom, the fleet is ingulfed him flame, and everything is a light all bewitching green. The men at King’s Landing watch the sailors burn in shock, only the Alchemist smiles at the destruction. Stannis orders his remaining ships forward intent on winning.

Cersei calls Sansa over again. She’s quite peckish. She asks her what she’s doing. Sansa tells her that she is praying, praying that everyone will be okay. Cersei calls her foolish and stupid, and tries again to make her drink wine. She forces the girl to drink. She tells Sansa that she wishes she were borne a man, the waiting does not sit well on her. She tells her that women have more weapons that just tears, and that if the city falls the men will ravage them.

Joffery nearly wets himself seeing that the remaining men are still coming. His craven colors are showing, but Tyrion, gives his commands, and plans to slaughter all who approach. The men of King’s Landing rain arrows upon Stannis’ men, and still they come. The Hound leads his men out for some hand to hand. Lancel takes an arrow to the chest.

Cersei talks about her childhood, how she and Jaime looked so much alike as children, she could not understand why she was treated differently. Jaime got to become a knight, and she was sold off to Robert. Sansa tells her that she was a Queen, but sold she was all the same Cersei says. Cersei spots Shae and begins to grill her when Lancel comes in with news. Cersei tells him to bring Joffery back. Finally she reveal why her bodyguard is really there to Sansa, “Stannis may take the city, he may take the throne but he will not take us alive.”

The fighting intensifies around the Hound. And as he stares into the flames, he’s forced to fall back into the keep. Tyrion wishes for the Hound to go back out, but the Hound refuses, he’s lost half his men. Joffery throws a little tantrum, and Tyrion points out that they will lose the city if he does not fight. But the Hound has a very Fuck everything attitude.

Stannis’s men begin to ram the gate. Lancel comes to collect Joffery, and Tyrion bids him to stay. If he will not fight for his kingdom, why should his men. But Joffery is a craven to his core, and he sends his men out to die in his place as he runs to his mother. Tyrion sees what he must do, he will lead the attack against Stannis. His men begin to draw away, but Tyrion is ready for a plan. He tells them quite a pep talk. There is no reason to fight for kings, kingdoms or riches, only what is already theirs. The men rally, and follow Tyrion. Lancel gives bad news, and Lancel wishes to escort Joffery back to the castle. Cersei strikes him, and the women go into a panic. Sansa immediately calms the women, and Shae hurries her away, telling her that Stannis will not hurt her.

Sansa finds the doll that her father once gave her, and the Hound lurking in the dark. He tells her that he is going some place that isn’t burning, and offers to keep her safe and return her home. She tells him that she’ll be safe here, that Stannis won’t hurt her. The Hound tries to talk sense into her, and tells her that she’s surrounded by killers. She knows he will not hurt her, and he agrees, leaving her.

Tyrion and his men take the field, and annihilate the enemy, or so they think, until the second string come charging in. Tyrion is injured in the battle.

Cersei tells Tommen a story on the Iron Throne, a tale of good lions and evil stags and wolves. The battle rages on outside. As her story goes on, she toys with the Nightshade, giving it to him. But before Tommen can drink it, a slew of men arrive. Tyrion lays upon the battlefield. Tywinn has arrived, and she drops the Nightshade. The battle is over, they have won.

Game of Thrones Recap: The Prince of Winterfell

In Winterfell all of the Ravens have been killed. Theron stands as his sister rides in with her men, but she’s not proud of him as he would like. She teases him about the death of the children, and tells him that he’s a dumb cunt, heaping insults at him. He killed the most valuable of people from Winterfell. Yara reminds him that they’re islanders, and now all of the Northerners want him dead. He claims he took Winterfell and he will keep it. Yara sends everyone away, and asks Theron to come home. She tells him that he was a terrible baby, and recalls a time he cried, and she comforted him. She told him “Don’t die far from the sea.”

 Ygritte makes a play to save Jon Snow. Her group wants to gut Jon, but Ygritte tells them that Mance would want Snow, that he’s Eddard Starks bastard, and although the man does not see the worth of a dead man’s bastard, he lets him live. There’s another man alive from the Night’s Watch, all others died while looking for Jon.

Talisa and Robb talk of Robb’s impending marriage to a Frey girl, whom he agreed to marriage for use of a bridge. Talisa tells him that everyone loved his father, he was a good man. Robb agrees. His father taught him many things, and was a good man. Robb tells her that he’s not fighting the war for gold and glory, but to ensure their safety. A night brings word of the Kingslayer’s escape. Robb goes to his mother, and knows that she Is the one that set him free. Robb sends more men after Jaime, and puts guards on his mother for her treason.

Brienne is leading Jaime on their little trek. Jaime tries to get Brienne to open up, but she opens up only about Jaime’s own past crimes. He continues to taunt her, but she doesn’t take the bait.

Tywinn’s advisors give him dire reports. Kings Landing could fall quickly. Tywinn’s assessment is that Robb is a little too comfortable, that because he’s never lost, he has no fear. Tywinn issues marching orders they’ll attack Robb at night, and plans for Arya to stay with his men to keep them from over drinking at Harrenhaal. Arya goes looking for Jacqen, she finally knows who her final name will be. She runs into Gendry, and Hot Pie but its too late as they watch Tywinn leave.

Ygritte watches Jon.

Bronn picks his nails with a knife much to Tyrion’s annoyance. Tyrion is nitpicking everything. He wants Bronn to dress more the part of the Gold Cloaks, but he refuses. Tyrion is trying to strategize in light of Stannis’s imminent arrival. Varys mentions how the drop in numbers of reported thefts. Bronn killed all the known thieves, to save the people in the long run. Tyrion finds the weak spot in their defenses, the Mud Gate.

Sam and some of the Night’s watch dig and wonder over the Rangers. Sam holds out hope that Qhorin and Jon are ok out there. They uncover a stone carved by the first men. Beneath the stones is a night’s watch cloak and dragon glass.

Arya finally finds Jaqen. She asks how long after she gives him the final name will the death be dealt. He tells her that depends, but she needs Tywinn dead now before he attacks her brother. So instead she names Jaquen. He asks that she unnamed him. She refuses unless he helps her. He agrees to help her, but not to kill Tywinn, to free herself and her friends.

Cersei and Tyrion are having a lovely little discussion. She’s overly happy, she has his whore. She tells him that he took her daughter, and she took his whore. Tyrion puts on a brave act, but Cersei sees his lies. She plans to use the girl to ensure that Joffery remains unharmed. They bring in Shae for Tyrion to see, amd it’s the wrong girl, poor Ros. He apologizes to her, tells her to put on a brave face, and they do their little dramatics. Tyrion threatens Cersei, and tells her that he will repay her in kindness, but she has no clue that she just messed up. Tyrion immediately goes to Shae, and finds her. He tells her to be more careful, and makes her promise him that she is his. She does, and tells him that he is hers.

Robb worries over the lack of ravens bearing news of Winterfell. He is willing to pardon Theron’s men, but not Theron himself. Talisa interrupts his meeting. Robb lays all his woes at his feet. He wishes to be a good king, but he wasn’t raised as a prince, and is floundering a bit under the strain. She tells him of the time that her brother drowned in a river. A slave pushed her out of the way, and expelled the river from his lungs, and the boy lived. Talisa decided then that her life would be more than duty. Robb tells her that he doesn’t wish to marry the Frey girl. Talisa tells him that she doesn’t need to marry Robb, but that she hopes it’s a beautiful bridge. The two begin to rip each other’s clothes off, and have sex on the floor.

Arya, Gendry and Hot Pie wait before the gate to make their escape. They can see the guards from their hiding spot are guards at the gate, but she has faith in Jacqen, and walks out like he told her. All of the guards are dead, their bodies tacked up. The trio leave unharmed.

Davos sees that they will land at King’s Landing soon. Davos paid his dues, but Stannis goes on and on, about how he never got his fair share. So put upon. He gave up Storm’s End when Robert bid him to, even though it was his right to hold it. He tells Davos that when he is king he will make him this Hand.

Joffery is all too cocky as he speaks with Varys and Tyrion. Joffery seems chipper about the upcoming war. He tells them that when Stannis arrives he will meet him, and give him a red smile. Tyrion and Varys get down to business. Varys compliments Tyrion on his success at being the hand. Tyrion tells him that if Stannis reaches the gates then his turn as Hand is will be done. Varys tells him that Dany lives, and that she has 3 dragons, but she isn’t the greatest threat, yet.

Daenerys is in hiding. Jorah has found a ship and wishes for them to leave. But Dany refuses to go without her dragons. Jorah tries to talk her out of going to the house of the Undying to get her dragons, claiming that they’re not her children, that if she goes there, she will never leave the house of the undying, their power is too strong. Dany believes in her own magic. She walked into the fire, and she birthed her dragons in fire. They are her children, the only children she will ever have.

Theron wishes to bury the burned children, feeling remorse, or perhaps Yara’s words have sunk in, and Theron wishes to pay the farmer for his trouble. The Magister spots Osha stealing bread, and he realizes that the Stark boys are not dead. He follows her into the Stark crypt, and sees that the boys are alive and as well as they can be in their situation.
