Good Morning, World

.

Sam Heughan took my advice from yesterday, wishing us 

a good morning the right way. Good work, Sam Heughan. 

Every other actor follow Sam and James' lead, please.

.

Good Luck With That, Sam

.

Part of me feels like this role won't be big in the film at hand so there's no need to get worked up either way about it, but I think it's still worth a post -- Outlander star and stacked hunk Sam Heughan is going to be portraying no less than The Most Attractive Movie Star Of All Time Mister Paul Newman, in a movie about the relationship between the tremendously talented author Roald Dahl and the tremendously talented  actress Patricia Neal. Neal was Newman's co-star in the 1963 film classic Hud...

... and so I imagine the filming of that will come into play, hence Newman being a character. But that won't be the focus, so who knows how much we'll see of Heughan; it could be a cameo, a walk-on, a "Hey look that's Sam Heughan playing Paul Newman," the end. Anyway I never would've thought of this casting but since I happen to be biased enough to think that literally anybody's going to look like a ugly jackass trying to play Paul Newman on-screen I won't aim extra vitriol Sam's way. It's not personal! It's just impossible! He is just Paul Newman!

And Paul Newman in Hud at that. A couple of years ago I asked which era of Newman's career he was the hottest during and it was right in this time period where y'all voted. So this is Prime Newman Stuff. Nobody can hold a candle. Anyway the film was called An Unquiet Life but I guess it's not anymore; I don't recognize the actress playing Neal (although she has tons of credits) but Downton Abbey's Hugh Bonneville is playing Dahl.

Joel Kinnaman and the Space Jockeys

.

If you want to watch something created by Battlestar Galactica creator Ron Moore again but Outlander isn't your thing - and Outlander ins't my thing, despite the valiant attempts to make it so by the cum-gutters of Sam Heughan - then perhaps this news will bring on a smile to your own cum-gutters: Moore is making a sci-fi show (as of yet untitled) for Apple about "a world where global space race never ended." I hope they title it Space Force, personally. (Thx Mac) The show will star Joel Kinnaman here (along with his own cum-gutters presumably), as well as the attractive ginger Kiwi Michael Dorman who was apparently in The Water Diviner with Jai Courtney's Mustache. So that is a thing to look forward to! Until then let's all stare at these pictures of Joel being all butch in Men's Health recently right here after the jump... 

Do Dump or Marry: Spies For Dumping (Or Not)

.

It's too good to pass up an excuse to play our favorite party game "Do Dump or Marry" when along comes a movie with "Dump" in the title and three hot dudes in the cast, wouldn't ya say? The Spy Who Dumped Me stars Mila Kunis & Kate McKinnon as besties who accidentally get embroiled in espionage shenanigans - starring opposite them in some capacity (I haven't seen the movie so I don't know where they all fit in yet) is the trio of Hasan Minaj (actor and Daily Show correspondent and seriously under-appreciated piece) and Sam Heughan (from Outlander, see more here) and Justin Theroux (former Mr. Jennifer Aniston and wearer of sweatpants, see more here) and y'all know what to do. Don't you? Hit the comments with which one you'd Do, which one you'd Dump, and which one you'd Mary. There, now you know!

Good Morning, World

.

I thought we should check in on Sam Heughan and Outlander this morning, which is a thing I do every so often even thought I can't stand the show - I can stand Naked Sam Heughan. Anyway at first I thought it was the serious hangover I'm nursing but no it appears there's either something wrong with my video of this scene or the gif-making software I'm using to turn it into gifs but these gifs are wonky as fuck. Oh well. Refer to previously alluded-to hangover in order to measure the sheer depths of my just-dont-give-a-fuck this morning. Hit the jump to have yourself a slight seizure of sexiness...

Good Morning, World

.

I tried to watch Outlander once but the bodice-ripping silliness was a bit silly for me -- that said as long as lead actor and romance-novel-come-to-life Sam Heughan keeps ripping at his own bodice I'll keep taking at least this much notice. Don't ask me what's going on in this scene, I don't know or really much care... besides the butt. But butt, as you have maybe heard, is enough. Butt is enough! (Wasn't that a sitcom in the 70s?) But (ha) if you missed the pics of Sam in Interview Magazine that I posted on the Tumblr yesterday click here, and then hit the jump for more from this scene...

I Am Link

.

--- Mad To Love - According to Rosie Huntington-Whitely (the fashion model that gets to molest Jason Statham in public places) Mad Max Fury Road director George Miller invited Vagina Monologues creator Eve Ensler to the set of that film to talk to all the pretty girls playing pretty girls in danger about making their characters come off as more than one-note victims. That sounds positive! Oh and here are a bunch of new clips from Max, which i won't be watching because I'm seriously just ready to be sitting in the theater already.

.

--- See A Penny - Did you guys watch the first episode of Pretty Dreadful? Over at The Film Experience Nathaniel took a look at it along with a further assorted list of recent NSFW-ness in pop culture, some of which we'd already discussed here at this blog but all of which delighted me all the same. Back to Penny Dreadful though - Out magazine talked to Reeve Carney about being sexually adventurous and naked on the show, which is all of interest.

 .

--- Real Gold - The great Jacki Weaver will be romancing the great David Wenham in Goldstone, and as if that wasn't enough the movie will also co-star Ryan Kwanten. (thanks Glenn) That's a lotta Aussie hotness in one spot. I even like Jacki enough that it took me a whole minute or two to consider taking her out of the movie so it's a romance between Wenham and Kwanten, while usually that's the first thing I'd think.

.

--- 44 Flop - I was really sad seeing this article at Deadline on what a massive flop Child 44 turned out to be - Child 44 is that movie starring Tom Hardy, Joel Kinnaman, Jason Clarke, and a bunch of uniforms and haircuts, amongst others. Sad because I wanted to see it and I like all those actors and don't want them to get blamed for it, and also - I literally had no idea it had come out? Am I part of the problem? (Don't answer that.)

 .

--- Love Interest - Once Upon a Time's lusty pirate Colin O'Donoghue and Outlander's buff (and oft butt naked) warrior Sam Heughan have taken to publicly romancing each other on Twitter - there was some sort of competition going on involving the two of them being up for TV's top leading man and the two of them seem pretty intent on, ahem, topping the other. Apparently whoever loses will dress up like the other one's character. The contest ended yesterday but I can't find who won. Colin in a kilt or Sam in leather pants? What say you?

.

--- Putting The D In - Like the Mad Max clips posted above I'm not going to bother watching these clips from the upcoming comedy The D Train because I'm already sold on the movie - even if it is Jack Black that I'm going to have to deal with in such circumstances, "James Marsden having gay sex" is always a "yes" around these parts. Have you guys seen the TV commercials for this film though? I swear that they're ending them with the sound effect of James Marsden getting penetrated. I am not hallucinating. I would know that sound anywhere. Anyway moving on, in this interview Jack says that Jimmy smells like "ocean breeze" which seems about right.

Good Morning, Sam

.

Well we started the week of with naked Sam Heughan, 

we might as well finish it off that way too. 

And speaking of finishing things off...

... I guess Outlander already did that with Sam. Sigh. I really wish I'd liked the show when I tried to watch it. Oh well. Anyway it's Sam's 35th birthday today, so hit the jump for a couple more o-face gifs with which we all can celebrate!

Good Morning, World

You know, I tried to watch Outlander. I saw pictures of Sam Heughan and I was like, "I need to watch Outlander." And I tried. I couldn't do it though. I get in theory that it's a much-needed Feminist flip-the-script on romance novels and really, props to it for what it's doing. But man...

... it is a cheesy bridge too far for me. Granted I only made it through the first episode and maybe they've toned down the "Gaelic ladies spinning around in circles in runes" malarkey but that first episode was too much of a chore, I have other stuff to watch - too much of it. But I will keep my eyes peeled for scenes like this, where Sam Heughan is properly exploited. Don't you worry. (And I love his reply to Hunk-Gate.) Hit the jump for a few more...
