Today's Fanboy Delusion

 Today I'd rather be...

... getting a sand facial with Matthew Daddario.

Matthew Daddario Three Times

Even though I know our boy Matthew Daddario here looks like this at this link on the television program Women Who Kill -- And that his character's name is Scooter! And he gets naked! -- I still haven't gotten around to watching that show. Whatcha gonna ddo, there's only so much time in the dday... 

I also haven't started watching the show starring Mike Vogel's Ass that premiered this weekend, that's how behind (heh) I am. instead of all that I have, on the other hand, begun watching the show starring Matthew's sister, which is not usually the way these things go but life is weird and full of m-f-ing curveballs. Wisdom, by me. (pics via, thx Mac)

Pics of the Day

I keep waiting for the actor Matthew Daddario to star in something that I'll wanna actually, you know, watch, because good grief look at him, but that day only came once and it was the remake of Cabin Fever in 2016 and it that was not a good day for anybody. I know he was gay on that Shadowhunters show -- gay with harry Shum Jr. at that! -- but I just couldn't bring myself to press play on that show all the same, it seemed so Tween Hot Topic. Anyway these new photos of Matthew from the second upcoming season of Desperate Housewives creator Marc Cherry's latest show Why Women Kill have got me thinking...

... maybe I wanna watch Why Women Kill? This old-timey sex-detective look really does things for me, it always has, and IMDb tells me his character's name is Scooter. SCOOTER! I don't know if that's an experience my life can sustain an absence of. So anybody watch that show? I do know that Cherry, as he did with Housewives, always keeps his gay audience in mind and the show is already stacked with hot actors even besides Matthew here. I even did a post during its first season about Veep star Reid Scott finally showing some flesh...

I Like Mike

.

Because we were literally just talking about the It: Chapter 2 movie in our last post I considered just updating that one with this new-to-me news, but then I stumbled upon the above picture of the actors Isaiah Mustafa and Matthew Daddario (co-stars in the Shadowhunters series) giving me something fresh to dream about all weekend long and I thought to myself you know what, let's give this its own post. 

The new-to-me news is that Mustafa, probably best known for being the hot guy in all those Old Spice commercials (although his acting career has kept rolling along I see, glancing at his IMDb page now), was hired to play adult Mike in the second It movie - this was announced two weeks ago but I missed it until I saw his name today listed alongside the news that Xavier Dolan's taking on a small but vital role in the sequel. 

Mustafa's Mike completes the adult cast for the Loser's Club, alongside Jessica Chastain as Beverly, James McAvoy as Bill, Jay Ryan as Ben, Bill Hader as Richie, James Ransone as Eddie, and Andy Bean as Stanley. Click on any of those links for our posts, which paint the portrait of a very very sex cast that we're talking about getting traumatized by a floppy clown monster here.

Today's Fanboy Delusion

Today I'd rather be...

... picking up Harry Shum Jr.

Doing that Darren Criss post earlier made me think of his Glee co-star Harry and once I start thinking about Harry it gets tough, not thinking about Harry. Especially with all the making out he apparently does with the also lust-worthy Matthew Daddario...

... on that Shadowhunters show. (I really need to watch that show.) So hit the jump for about twenty more shots (really very hot shots not to mention more kisses with Matthew Daddario at that) that we haven't posted before...

Matthew Daddario One Time

.

I'm actually literally beginning to manifest physical symptoms of rage (rage babies!) for my not having done a great big Gratuitous post on the gorgeous and just-perfectly-my-type Matthew Daddario yet, even though I have known of his existence since 2014, so this is me forming a line in the sand aimed at myself to get on it, dude, or else. Before the rage babies kill again!

I Am Link

--- Let The Stalking Commence - It took them two weeks to listen to my ranting and raving but they've finally announced that casting is underway for the new Friday the 13th movie, and it will shoot this spring in a town not far from Atlanta, Georgia. We told you back on the 13th that the director of The Crazies is shooting this, the 13th film in the franchise. Anyway I hope they cast a whole bunch of nobodies - I hate seeing a bunch of boring pretty familiar faces in these films. Find me the new Tom McBride already! Although as a suggestion if they want to hire Matthew Daddario (pictured) I would totally be there for that.

.

--- Underwater Aliens - Vulture has got a surprisingly nice and low-key interview with director James Cameron today - it says a lot about the world that James Cameron's egomania feels comforting and restrained these days - where he talks about the need to respect scientists and the scientific process... and also throws some skepticism Ridley Scott's way regarding the new Alien movie. 

.

--- Double Down Darko - In an interview about the new blu-ray release of Donnie Darko director Richard Kelly, who is apparently still alive, says that he would love to make a sequel to the movie - something bigger and more ambitious that's set in the same world of wormholes and Jake Gyllenhaal stuffing his hand down the front of his pants. He also says, "I need to get my next film out of the gate and then we can go back and look at it." YA THINK, RICHARD? It's only been EIGHT YEARS since The Box came out. My anger is expressed with tons of affection, by the way - we need Kelly's brand of nuttiness in the world! Make a movie, man! (PS -- S. Darko is a thing that exists! Remember that shit?)
 .

--- A Girl's Curse - Well this is a goddamned treat thrust into the dark and gloomy world we live in - Final Girl has posted a new movie review! Our great gal-pal Stacie Ponder has returned from the grave, brushed the maggots out of her big shiny hairdo, and gone to town on the new J-horror battle royale that is Sadako vs Kayako, which pits the ghostly ladies of Ju-on (aka The Grudge) and Ringu (aka The Ring) against each other, and which is now streaming on Shudder.
.

--- Jungle Jane - I'm pretty forlorn that the new Predator movie is shooting in Vancouver because with the cast director Shane Black is lining up we need a sweaty jungle pronto - who doesn't want to see Boyd Holbrook or Trevante Rhodes or the latest addition to the cast fur-god Thomas Jane sweating through sleeveless military shirts while chomping on cigars? That's what it's all about, man!
 .
--- Blah Blah Bland - Even I am a little tired of the smacking around that La La Land's been getting and I'm certainly not that movie's biggest fan (here's my review) but I have to say that I don't not agree (I am just quadrupling the negatives at this point) with this piece at CNN that argues a vote for the movie is a vote for Trump. Oh sure it verges on the hysterical, but these are hysterical times. For the record if I was voting for Best Picture out of that line-up I would probably pick Moonlight, although I need to revisit Manchester, which I loved at NYFF).
.

--- Devil May Care - Did y'all see they are making a stage version of The Devil Wears Prada for Broadway? Elton John's writing the music and our beloved Paul Rudnick (I learned so much about writing about movies from his Libby Gelman Waxner character in Premiere Magazine back in the day) is writing the rest. Anyway over at The Film Experience our pal Chris offers up some ideas for songs and what not. I of course just got lost thinking about how hot Stanley Tucci is for awhile and then went and posted some pictures on our Tumblr of just that, since that's where my brain always goes...
 .
--- Rubber Lizard - Just reading Michael Dougherty's name makes me want to run home, microwave a bowl of popcorn, and put Krampus into the blu-ray player - and I don't even like popcorn! But reading that Dougherty just signed up to direct the 2nd Godzilla movie (taking the reins from the dearly departed Gareth Edwards) makes me a little bit nervous - granted Dougherty's been around big-budget film-making for a long time, having been a sidekick (aka writer) of Bryan Singer's since the second X-Men movie, but this is the big leagues and I worry his charms, which have so far been low-budget bursts of insanity, might get swallowed up by the studio machinery. But I always worry about such things. I wish him well! I hope they reintroduce tons more kaiju - I want my Destroy All Monsters remake and I want Ghidorah dammit!

Don't Drink The Water, Newbies

.

I'm certain you're all surprised that my first thought upon reading the news today that the Cabin Fever remake is going to use the exact same script as Eli Roth's 2002 movie (besides maybe a little bit of a "Whatchu talkin' 'bout, Willis?") was - well who's playing the Joey Kern part and getting it up the butt then? I hope my thought-processes and their clockwork-like dependability towards gratuity bring someone somewhere comfort.

(Will Eli Roth play the stoner dude again???) Anyway they have already announced the cast for this reboot (thanks Mac) -- they are "Teen Wolf‘s Gage Golightly, Dustin Ingram, Samuel Davis, Matthew Daddario and Nadine Crocker." I didn't know who any of these people were so I looked them up -- turns out Samuel Davis is adorable...

... (pic via) he's probably got the Rider Strong (speaking of names I just don't know about) role, I'm guessing? He was apparently one of the frat guys in Sin City: A Dame to Kill For, which I just watched yesterday. He's also in Exists, the Bigfoot movie from the director of The Blair Witch Project that is coming out next week. And then there's Matthew Daddario...

... who is also super adorable! I suppose he could also play the Rider Strong role though? I don't know. i wish they just told us who was playing who so I knew who was gonna get their butt messed with, for goodness sake. Is that really too much to ask?
