If the Best Picture nominee posters told the truth

Questionable Casting: 'The Dark Tower', Javier Bardem offered lead role as Roland in Stephen King adaptation

I may have mentioned this before but I am kind of a nerd. 

And in true nerd fashion I have read many many Stephen King books.

As a true fan of King I have spent dozens of hours pouring over his epic "Dark Tower" series and waited for the day when the books would be brought to life via film. 

So the thing is: A. a movie is actually happening and B. Javier Bardem has been offered the lead as Rowland. 

I mean, yay awesome Javier is talented and all but since King has freely admitted that Rowland was modeled after a 1970's Clint Eastwood, Javier just does not compute. 

My ideal casting for Rowland would have been Daniel Craig who has the right look and evidenced by his portrayal of Bond can do the cold-hearted bastard that we all learn to love very well. 

Hmm.. let's see where this goes.

Ted Talks: Drawing upon humor for change

Great video from TedWomen featuring New Yorker cartoonist Liza Donnelly who uses her cartoons to talk about ways women can use humor to break gender norms.

 

 

For more on funny women shaking things up, I highly recommend watching the documentary "Joan Rivers: A Piece of Work" (it's on Netflix instant streaming). Joan is a bundle of contradictions when it comes to feminism but its hard to deny what she has done for women in comedy and entertainment, and if you watch E!'s Fashion Police you see she is still funny as hell.

Jean Claude Van Damme + Dubstep = Whaa??

I don't know what this video has to do with anything but I am in to the sweet sweet 80's dance moves of Mr. Van Damme.

Random News of the Day: Tom Hanks has a kid who is a rapper

Via @Gawker

So from what I understand Tom Hanks has two kids in the entertainment industry: 

1. Colin Hanks, an actor who credits include Mad Men and the surprisingly amusing (to say funny would be pushing it) The House Bunny. 

2. Then there Chet Hanks aka Chet Haze, student/rapper/man about town.

Check the rhyming skillz before it gets pulled but really?

P.S.
Not gonna lie Chet is kind of cute (at least in this pic)

P.S.S
Can we agree that Chet is kind of an awesomely bad name?

Film Review of the Day: Country Strong via Videogum

Thanks to Lina for sharing this review of "Country Strong" from Videogum.

A bit of math.

Videogum is hilarious + Country Song is clearly garbage = Reviews that contain lines like this:

"I’m no fan of Gwyneth Paltrow. As a human being, and even as a celebrity, which is a particularly weird strain of human being, I find her to be completely insufferable."

"Can we all agree that between Tron 2.0 and Country Strong, Garret Hedlund has set new speed records in terms of establishing himself as one of the least charismatic and awful actors ever? "

"Despite the movie’s title, and its numerous musical set pieces, and the very terrible accents everyone talks in, not a single aspect of country music is explored. They might as well be lounge singers, or a Bushwick noise act, or Stomp. It doesn’t matter. The movie takes place in hotels and in vans and the anonymous cinder block walls of a concert venue’s dressing room."

Sounds about right.
