Jon Hamm Seven Times

Has anybody watched that Your Friends & Neighbors series that Jon Hamm is on yet? I have not but I thank it for existing so Jon Hamm decided to advertise it by appearing half-naked in GQ magazine. I guess we all have to go watch the show now in order to say thank you to him. That's the way these things work! They take their clothes off, we do what they tell us to. 

It's a weird system maybe but I am fine with it. There are worse! Jon Hamm could've like held a gun to my mother's head in order to demand I watch his show. It probably would've taken him longer to go around the country and do that to every single person individually than taking these beefcake snaps did -- I totally understand taking this shortcut. And if it doesn't work, hey, you can do the gun thing tomorrow, Jon. Hit the jump for all the photos...

Jon Hamm Five Times

Jon Hamm is interviewed by who else Tina Fey in the new issue of Interview Magazine -- but more importantly than anything they have to say to one another are the photos of Jon wearing some nice snug dad shorts which I have helpfully brought over here to MNPP to enjoy. There are more photos of him at the link in other outfits but I think we can all agree that the five photos of him in this outfit in particular are the money shots. Hit the jump for them all...

Donald Glover Two Times

Congrats to this sexy beast on his Emmy nomination for his series Mr & Mrs Smith, alongside our beloved PEN15 forever gal-pal Maya Erskine -- I don't remember writing anything about the series here, forgive me if I did and my hole-riddled-brain's simply forgotten that, but I very much liked that show. Did you? Anyway Emmy-wise I'm also psyched for the love for my Fellow Travelers boys, for Andrew Scott in Ripley, and for Jonn Hamm's terrific work in Fargo, which I actually wrote at length about at Mashable while the series was airing. Any Emmy nominations making y'all especially happy today? I don't usually pay awards much mind (as I make a point of saying every time I do, lol) but for some reason these Emmy ones made me glad today. Also... I just wanted to look at Donald in some short-shorts, of course. And so we shall!

Joe Keery Five Times

Ahhhhhh Joe Keery's chest hair is here to make the day just that little bit brighter -- blessings! The Stranger Things and Fargo hair-monster himself is on the cover of Wonderland magazine this month, and  you can read the chat over there. It's between Joe and his Fargo poppa Jon Hamm! Look at Wonderland, trying to steal the Interview Magazine thing. Anyway they don't stop the interview to tell us any filthy stories of daddy-son role-play from the set so the chat is not that special. The pictures are good though! Meaning I get to see his chest hair and his legs and he wears leather pants. That's good! Hit the jump for 'em all...

Jon Hamm Five Times

Jon Hamm is looking mighty fine for the cover shoot in The Hollywood Reporter this week -- I guess he's gunning for awards attention for his role on Fargo this season? I actually wrote an entire piece at Mashable back in January about how great he was on that, read that here. That dickhead he played really brought out his best work in ages. Indeed the entire theme of this article seems to borrow the center of my piece, which is Jon Hamm should really only play dickheads. It's really where he shines. That said he comes across as perfectly lovely in the chat -- he gives a shout-out to Julio Torres, for goodness' sake. (I also love that it's Emma Stone who told him to keep an eye on Torres -- Stone is proving world-class in sussing out talent early.) Anyway I'm sure you're just here for the photos, so let's do the photos, after the jump...

So How About That Fargo Finale?

Here are two photos of Joe Keery to lead us into a post about how the final episode of the fifth season of Fargo aired last night on FX -- I know a lot of people only watch it once it hits Hulu today so I won't say anything spoilery here, don't fret! Don't go sticking your heads under your pillows and diving into any ditches, it's okay I promise. All I am gonna say is that I think the finale was pretty much perfect, cementing this season as the best season of the show as far as I'm concerned. It feels like Noah Hawley came back from being spread thin with Legion and his unsuccessful movie Lucy in the Sky coming and going, and he had something to prove -- we should all be very excited about his Alien series if this is the way he's rolling! (I was extremely excited to hear he's ignoring all of the Prometheus nonsense, for one.) Anyway if you've never watched Fargo the series it's an anthology and you don't need to've seen anything previous to get each season and I recommend giving this fifth season a try. If you missed my piece at Mashable about what a great villain Jon Hamm made, click here to read that -- all of that remains true, but much love has to be given to Juno Temple, Keery here, Jennifer Jason Leigh, and Sam Spruell as well. The final shot of the finale... my god. No spoilers! I promise. I just really loved it all. 

This Marlboro Man Sucks

We are one week away from the finale of the fifth season of Fargo and as I said on Monday -- the show is really rocking it this year. There were things I liked about the fourth season (Ben Whishaw and Jessie Buckley spring to mind) but that season felt scattered, whereas this one is laser-focused and absolutely riveting. And a big part of that is due to itself having a killer villain in Jon Hamm's piece of shit Sheriff Tillman. And so I wrote about just that today for Mashable -- click on over to read that here. It's frankly the best work Hamm's done in quite some time and finally convinced me that the dude should probably only play dicks forever and ever. he's really good at dick y'all!

Joe Keery Eighteen Times

A little shocked to realize I haven't posted Joe Keery's photoshoot for Behind the Blinds magazine here already -- but let's blame them not me, because that magazine always dribbles out photos over the course of months and I was probably just waiting to see them all. Do we have them all now? Hell if I know. But I do have eighteen photos and that's enough for a damn post, I wager!

Before we stare at all of those though, a question -- are any of you watching Fargo this season? Joe is on it and (besides giving off some seriously hot trailer trash vibes as seen here) he's very good on it! I actually think this season is kicking ass all around. But I'll have more to say about that later this week (hint hint). Just curious if anybody else is feeling the same. Now on to what matters -- more of Joe Keery being a fuzzy little goddamn after the jump...

Good Morning, World

Jon Hamm bares some ham in the premiere episode of Fargo this season apparently -- well not apparently, since we're looking at the proof and the proof is in the puddin' as they say -- and I got the gifs. I have not watched this episode yet even though I am a firm aficianado of the Fargo television series since Day One and I'm pretty excited about this season given its stellar cast -- Jon Hamm! Jennifer Jason Leigh! Juno Temple! Joe Keery! Hey why so many J's? I'm a J too! Maybe I was supposed to be on the show and I missed that email. I get too many emails! Dammit. Anyway yeah it's early, this will our last day blogging until Monday thanks to the turkey holiday, so let's eat up some Hamm this morning! Hit the jump for the gifs...

More Like Far-Joe

This news is a couple of days old but I weighed that fact against the chance to share these photos of Joe Keery working out shirtless and you can see what came out on top. Said news: Stranger Things actor and elaborate hairstyle Joe Keery has joined the next season of Fargo! This is the fifth season of the FX series -- the last one (set in the 1950s) starred Chris Rock, Ben Whishaw, and a very funny Jessie Buckley aired in 2020. The new season though will fly forward in time to the year 2019 and is about a kidnapping and a marriage gone wrong which, uhh, sounds a lot like the original movie? It'd be kinda neat for them to do a twist on the movie's plot here this far into the show, honestly. Anyway Joe joins the previously announced Juno Temple, Jon Hamm and Jennifer Jason Leigh -- so many Js!

Everything You Ever Need To Know About Life...

 ... you can learn from:

Bridesmaids (2011)

Ted: This is so awkward. I really want you to leave, but 

I don't know how to say it without sounding like a dick.

Jon Hamm's gratuitously hot, gratuitously awful character in Bridesmaids teaches us how to be not a decent person, and that's always a "Life Lesson" worth an underline. A happy 50 to Hamm today! As you might recall I did a big binge of Mad Men during quarantine last summer (watched the entire thing over the span of about two and a half weeks!) and I recommend that long long loooong tweet-thread, it was a good time. 

Anyway after that I truly get Hamm's appeal more than I did before, when it was just free-balling DILF BDE -- Don Draper truly is an accomplishment he can coast on for the rest of time if he so chooses. Well Don Draper and Ted. That's enough for any one man! Oh and Bridesmaids turns 10 in a few weeks! Can you believe it? That movie's still a laugh riot. And it took ten whole years but Kristen Wiig & Annie Mumulo delivered a follow-up worth its weight in glorious Dornan Calves...

Dominic Cooper Six Times

Just a heads-up that I do believe my brain has hit the wall of "being able to focus on anything for longer than five seconds" for this here Election Day 2020, and you probably shouldn't expect me to write much more in the way of words for today. But wait! That's not a bad thing for you! Because I've decided I'm going to spend a good chunk of the afternoon...

Here is a photo of Jon Hamm & Garrett Hedlund on a hot date pic.twitter.com/yBXcoLH5ca

... just tweeting out random photos of dudes on my Twitter account as a happy distraction for us all. I've got folders full of hot stuff just gathering dust and it's just what the doctor ordered, goddamit! These photos here of my boy Dom Cooper (via) which I somehow previously missed, deserved an actual proper post though, and so here we are. Posting them here. Hit the jump for it...

Sterling! Cooper! Draper! Pryce!

I apparently finished binge-watching Mad Men exactly one month ago, on May 31st -- it was my first time watching the show (or about 98% of the show anyway, I'd seen a couple stray episodes here and there over the years) and it was, to put it mildly, a treat. I loved every second of it. I linked to this when I was still in the middle of it but here's the Twitter thread I kept as I did the entire series:

I'm watching the first episode of Mad Men -- a show I have never watched (I know, I know) -- and I'm surprised at how young Jon Hamm already looks (compared to today I mean) pic.twitter.com/JpiJJ10FG8

Like I said it's been one month since I finished watching all seven seasons, ninety-two episodes, of the series, which I plowed through over the span of just about two weeks -- it was a lot! But somehow as soon as I was done my first thought was still I WOULD TOTALLY DO THAT AGAIN. For real! I would! The thing was I binged the show because Netflix was taking all of the episodes off of their platform in early June -- I only had enough time for the one viewing.

Well color me Peggy because Amazon has just announced they've snapped up the rights for their Prime streaming service, and they're all dropping for free on there on July 15th -- my birthday! A gift to me from the Weiner Gods above, halle-fuckin-lujah!

This episode's a hoot pic.twitter.com/TDoXuVtyPz

So I went for one of my special escape-quarantine nature-walks this morning (I do this once or twice a week which you'll know if you follow me on Instagram) and I seem to have somehow gotten way, way too much sun, and melted my brains. True, my definition of "too much sun" is usually "any sun at all" but despite my best dodging-it efforts my eyes feel cooked in my skull and I can't much think straight. Point being instead of sitting here and staring blankly at my computer screen for any longer trying to will some entertainment for you all into being, I'm done for the day. Done, done, dunzo. We'll try out this whole "blogging" thing again tomorrow. That said if you already  follow me on Twitter then you're probably also aware I am currently binge-watching Mad Men on Netflix, I have been for the past week or so, and there's a stacked and ongoing Twitter thread, linked below, where you can keep up with my favorite bits. So that's something. I can't promise anything, but I can promise something.

Be Like Hamm

Make sure you're taking yourself...

... all of yourself...

... out for some fresh air when you can.

Today's Fanboy Delusion

Today I'd rather be...

.

... Glen Powell's wingman anytime.

The first teaser trailer has arrived for Top Gun: Maverick with Tom Cruise revisiting the role that made him a big-toothed superstar alongside Miles Teller and our boy Glen here filling in as the beefcake youngster roles that'll get all the kiddie butts in the movie seats; watch it here:

.

.

This movie isn't out until June of next year so I'm not sure why they're teasing it at this point, but I'm not gonna argue with Glen Powell's nipples, not ever, so I'll shut my mouth. Oh fine except for one thing...
.

Wanna know who's awesome and still acting? Kelly fucking McGillis. Of course she had the nerve to be a woman who got older so she's nowhere near a TOP GUN sequel

Today's Fanboy Delusion

Today I'd rather be...

... circling the block with Jon Hamm.

In the most obscene display of gratuitous gray sweatpants since Justin Theroux rocked the nation to its very core on The Leftovers the new Amazon series of Neil Gaiman and Terry Pratchett's book Good Omens went and had Jon Hamm -- Jon Hamm, Noted Bulge Aficionado -- of all people jog towards a camera while wearing gray sweatpants, and to be quite frank (heh) I'm surprised he didn't knock both my eyes out.

I actually keep forgetting that Amazon dropped the show already and I haven't yet started watching -- I have to thank some rando on Tumblr for alerting me to this scene's presence. Randos on Tumblr are doing the lord's work. Anyway if any of you have watched the series yet I'd appreciate a heads up (heh) on the show, quality-wise.

Corey Stoll Two Times

.

There's not nearly enough Corey Stoll scheduled for us in 2019 -- he has one film called The Report on the docket, which is being directed by Soderbergh collaborator Scott Z. Burns and co-stars Adam Driver and Jon Hamm (that is a lot of testosterone on one set) --  but 2020 looks better. He's got Ryan Murphy's Nurse Ratched series for Netflix and he's got David Chase's Sopranos prequel with Alessandro Nivola. I hope his roles are substantial! It always feels like we're never getting enough Corey dammit. (Why yes I am looking at you, First Man.) Maybe Corey will do Shakespeare in the Park again this summer and bust out those leather trousers again...

Good Morning, World

.

Maybe it's just the holidays in the air 

but I feel like Hamm for breakfast.

Here is Every Shot of Chris Hemsworth...

... in the second trailer for Bad Times at the El Royale.

You're welcome.

(See the first trailer here, with more Chris!)
