Three More Meltons!

How dumb am I (full stop) to've thought that we'd seen the last of the Charles Melton in Men's Health photos after I'd spent half the past week posting, you know, literally hundreds of them. When I posted that hot one yesterday I really thought that'd be that since Beef was now out on Netflix. (Have you watched any? Can we talk about the coyote scene yet???) Thankfully I am the stupidest peron who has ever lived or will ever live, and three more photos have come via MH's Instagram in the past day or so.  So now I'm gonna be smart and say this won't be it -- I'm gonna guesstimate that they're holding on to five thousand more photos to share, and that'll prove my smarts! I'll show you! Okay go watch Beef so we can talk about the coyote scene, the end. Oh and hit the jump for the rest of these pictures as well I suppose...

Good Morning, World

I literally posted nearly 200 images from Charles Melton's Men's Health photoshoot and video on Monday -- seriously, go see for yourself!!! -- and yet somehow I totally missed this fairly straightforward (yet no less sexy) image right there above? What a world, what a world indeed. Anyway it's a good thing because the second season of Beef is out on Netflix today and why wouldn't I post about that? For one I've been pretty relentlessly plugging it for months now because of its incredible cast. And for another I've actually already watched the whole damn thing! And it's good! I think it might be a little more unfocused than the first season, but all of the leads are excellent, with Mr. Melton and OF COURSE Carey Mulligan being the stand-outs from where I stand. For his part Melton is hysterically funny and surprisingly moving, proving that May December was no fluke; he's the real deal. As much talent as he's got abs! And as for Mulligan... 

Carey Mulligan is one of those notable few performers who, when I think about how much I love watching them perform, I literally well up. I feel immense gratitude every time she acts. I'm basically Team She Can Do No Wrong. What an immense talent she wields. A queen.

... well as you see above I'm of the mind that Carey Mulligan is incapable of being anything less than absolutely 100% compelling on-screen, and every single time the camera focuses on her here she proves her exquisite skill yet again. I am in awe of her, really and truly -- I'm not quite ready to de-throne the dueling Frenchies of Binoche & Huppert as my picks for the Greatest Living Actresses, but every time I watch Carey Mulligan I question that. I do! She's just so spectacular. Anyway you should watch the new season, it's mostly terrific, and I won't spoil it but there is one moment involving Carey and a wild animal that will probably end up being the funniest thing I see all year. All that plus Charles Melton spends every episode half-naked, as highlighted in the below trailer? What are you even doing here? Get over to Netflix, you fools!

This is literally the only advertisement Netflix needed to make for Beef's second season

Charles Melton Ten (Plus) Times

The second season of Beef had its premiere last night (click here to see some photos of Oscar Isaac and our half-naked boy here on the red carpet) and Charles Melton is not letting this moment get by without dropping a bomb of LOOK AT ME on us all -- this photoshoot for i-D magazine that just dropped this morning...

... practically knocked me off my chair, it did! I'll have things to say about Beef next week when it premieres (on April 16th) since I've already watched the entire thing but for now I'm just shutting up and letting these fiery fucking photos do the talking. Hit the jump for 'em all...

Would You Let Wagner Moura Drain You?

It's been eleven whole months since we heard that Mandy director Panos Cosmatos was going to make a sexy vampire movie titled Flesh of the Gods starring Oscar Isaac and Kristen Stewart -- long enough that I managed to totally forget that that sexy-sounding thing was a thing! Well it turns out the hold-up was Isaac, who's had to drop out of the project. But if you're looking at the above photo (which I know you are) then you can probably see where this is going -- yes indeed recent Oscar nominee Wagner Moura has snatched up the role! And yes okay I maybe just wandered off mentally-speaking, wondering what if it was Kristen Stewart who had dropped out and the movie was going to star Oscar & Wagner as the sexy couple instead... but let's not entertain the not-happening and instead enjoy the news that is. As I said in my post about this project last year I have mixed feelings about Mandy but there's no denying that Cosmatos is an interesting and exciting filmmaker -- I especially loved his episode of Guillermo Del Toro's horror anthology series Cabinet of Curiosities on Netflix. So if these folks wanna get together and riff on The Hunger in Cosmatos's Refn-adjacent style then I say bring it on, baby. Oh and this bit of news didn't surprise me -- A24 has boarded the movie as distributor. Has anything ever sounded more A24 than this? I can't wait for the merch! In summation since we're here and Oscar Isaac just came up hey look some new pictures of Oscar Isaac:

Melton's Meat-y Part

Season two of Netflix's successful series Beef is creep creeping creeping ahead -- indeed it's only about six weeks off now (it premieres on April 16th) which means we've just gotten the first teaser for it, which I will dutifully share with you down below. Most importantly though we must first post every new images of Charles Melton without hius clothes on, and...

... done. (See previous sexiness here.) This season swaps out Steven Yeun and Ali Wong and their ever-escalating parking-lot dispute to have Oscar Isaac and Carey Mulligan playing a couple who come into conflict with a couple played by Melton and Cailee Spaeny, all at a fancy country club. Great actors, looking pretty and cruel, I'm all over this shit. Here's the tease:

Pics of the Day

Unbelievably the last time I posted about the second season of the hit Netflix series Beef -- which will focus on totally different characters than the first one, making this an anthology show I suppose! -- it was way back in October of 2024, to deliver the bad news that Brokeback buddies Jake Gyllenhaal and Anne Hathaway had dropped out. But the news wasn't that bad! Because those two were replaced by Charles Melton and Cailee Spaeny, and we fucking love Charles Melton and Cailee Spaeny. 

Well now we've got movement because our first photos have at last arrived, along with word that the show -- which also stars a little pair of somebodies named Oscar Isaac and Carey Mulligan, since this season focuses on two couples at war with one another -- will drop on April 16th. Thrills! Also I'd be remiss to not underline that photo above of Charles Melton, rocking a stache and not much else. And with that important point em phasized now let's hit the jump for several more of these first look photos of the cast...

Today's Fanboy Delusion

Today I'd rather be...

... clapping back at the Frankenstein boys.

Oh Wait! More Oscar Isaac Good Morning!

Sigh -- of course literally five seconds after I dropped this morning's "Oscar Isaac naked in Frankenstein" gif-pile do I see that Oscar's on the cover of the latest issue of GQ too, flashing pit (onto the pit thread we go) and looking hot as fuck, which would've been useful information to have for that post. Oh well -- two "Oscar Isaac is a sexy fucker" posts in a row -- there are worse fates to have! Worse ways to greet a Monday after several days off. Hit the jump for the rest of the photos...

Good Morning, Monsters

Hello and happy Monday -- your wayward host has indeed returned and he's brought with him several gifs of a butt-naked Oscar Isaac in Guillermo Del Toro's Frankenstein to smooth the process along -- and while we're at it, what is it with Guillermo and hot dudes barely visible junk floating in bathtubs anyway? It's a very specific thing to have pop up in two (live-action) movies in a row, right? (I added the "live-action" because as far as I recall I don't remember Gepetto getting his gray balls out to take a soak in Pinocchio but it's possible I blocked that out.)

Anyway Frankenstein dropped on Netflix over the weekend so I assume most of you have now seen it if you weren't near one of the theaters where it was shwoing, so please -- offer me your opinions! I liked not loved it -- Jacob Elordi is terrific, it looks great, it sounds great, but there was just something missing... some spark of life, if you'll allow me that indulgence. Maybe if Mia Goth had gotten more to do I'd have been bigger on it? Anyway it's not every movie where Oscar Isaacs gets his pubes out (more like "every other" at this point, blessed man) so hit the jump for the steamy collection of gifs I assembled...

Good Night Oscar

Have you seen the photos of Oscar Isaac taken at the Los Angeles premiere for Guillermo Del Toro's Frankenstein last night? Here are two of them but he looks so handsome in every damn picture I recommend you search around (or just check my Bluesky where I posted more) -- they're worth losing yourself in! Kinda wild how he just keeps getting better looking -- I actually saw him coming out of a screening of Richard Linklater's new movie at NYFF last week and stood two feet from him and it ain't photoshop y'all. The man's a dream. Anyway let these photos hold you tight cuz I sure ain't gonna -- I'm off to see the new Yorgos Lanthimos picture! Yay me! Bye!

Happy Friday

I had a screening this morning, hence it being a little quiet around here, so let's make it loud with this video of Jason Momoa smacking Oscar Isaac's chunky bum hard on the red carpet in Venice yesterday (thx Mac). This was at their premiere for Julian Schnabel's new movie In the Hand of Dante. I want to be Jason Momoa's friend. He's so blessedly handsy. Get handsy with me, Jason!

A Man and His Beautiful Monster

Frankenstein stars Jacob Elordi and Oscar Isaac are on the cover of the new Variety to talk the forthcoming release of Guillermo Del Toro's reowrking of Mary Shelley's vision -- you can read the chat right here. Which I'm going to do myself right after I run and grab my lunch. Hence why I'm not mentioning what the two have to say in the interview -- I'm running out the door and haven't gotten to it yet. But I am taking a quick moment to post the photos of these beautiful men touching each other because -- if this isn't food then what is? I could probably just stare at these photos and survive for months. Hit the jump for them all (plus some video)...

Only Monsters Play God

Netflix just dropped these two teaser posters for Guillermo Del Toro's upcoming film of Frankenstein, which stars Oscar Isaac, Mia Goth, and Jacob Elordi as the Monster. (Love that the poster below centers Oscar's patented Chunky Bum, although it's a little shadowy, Guillermo. You'd best give it the spotlight treatment at some point in your movie!) We also have the official release dates -- Frankenstein is playing in "Select Theaters" on October 17th and then it hits Netflix on November 7th. This being Netflix you might want to side-eye that "select theaters" thing -- it will definitely play the Paris Theater here in NYC since that place is owned by Netflix, but beyond that? Definitely somewhere in L.A. one assumes but who knows how wide they'll go. I think most people will sadly be seeing this on a small screen. Who are the real monsters, then? They're playing God with Movies!

Pics of the Day

Although it's clearly a covered-up tease there's our first semi-look at Jacob Elordi's Frankenstein's Monster for Guillermo Del Toro's upcoming film thanks to a great big piece on the movie at Vanity Fair -- they talk to Oscar Isaac and Del Toro and also the make-up guy a lot...

... for obvious reasons. But I just wanna hear from costume designer Kate Hawley  for paragraphs because she's what's wowing me in these photos. Especially all of the spectacular outfits we see Mia Goth wearing. (I imagine Hawley also probably had fun giving Oscar his undone blouse & snug trousers and whatever tattered rags Jacob Elordi sports.) Anyway hit the jump for the photos...

Pic of the Day

A new photo from Guillermo Del Toro's Frankenstein (via) dropped today that showcases Oscar Isaac as the not-so-good doctor -- specifically his suspenders, heaving cleavage, and muttonchops, all of which I look forward to muchly. The movie, which also stars Jacob Elordi (as the monster!) and Mia Goth is out in November, presumably Thanksgiving just because this very much feels like a Thanksgiving release. Possibly critically important but definitely pulpy enough for the whole fam! But I hope Del Toro pervs it out the way any Frankenstein should be perved out, we know he's capable of it (hello to his fish-fucking Best Picture winner). But reading how GDT is making this story about Fatherhood (and how he just lost his father) instead of it being about a man sneaking down to the basement every night to build himself his very own man (one that looks like Jacob Elordi no less) while ignoring his fiancee upstairs, well I worry the Whale-esque (and Rocky Horror) perviness might get waylaid. Do by this queer monster story right, Guillermo!

Boys Will Be Beefs

Back in February it was reported that the second season of Netflix's smash hit series Beef would be about dueling couples (meaning original stars Steven Yeun and Ali Wong were not returning) and that said couples were going to be played by in one corner Charles Melton & Cailee Spaeny and in the other corner Jake Gyllenhaal & Anne Hathaway. This obviously excited me! But then the months passed and word was bandied about that our Brokeback besties Jake & Anne were not reuniting for whatever reason, and that Oscar Isaac & Carey Mulligan would be taking their roles instead. And today this has been confirmed as official, via Netflix themselves. And... as much as y'all know I love Jake and Anne... it's impossible to be angry about this swap. It's a good swap as far as swaps are concerned! I love all of these actors and will watch any combination of them go at each other. That said since it's what we're getting... let's hope Oscar & Charles "go at each other" like the lord intended. We deserve that dammit. 

Oscar Isaac Nine Times

The clothing brand Brioni has wisely decided to keep Oscar Isaac on for another advertising campaign (see the previous one here), as all they need to do is photograph him manspreading in their clothes at crotch-level to make the internet spontaneously combust -- mission accomplished! These new snaps (via) have got my bisuits burning anyway. Hit the jump for them all...

Good Morning, World

Actually I should retitle this post "Sad Morning, World" because I have come to make you cry this morning! Or you'll cry if you're an easy crier like me anyway -- this 2023 song by The Pretenders came up randomly on my playlist this morning on my work commute and I was like, "This is lovely, but why the fuck do I have this song on my phone?" Turns out it's Jonny Greenwood doing the string arrangement and conducting the orchestra on this song, that's why -- I must have read that last year, downloaded the song, and promptly forgot about it until today. Anyway this song is tremendously beautiful and sad as fuck but once I started listening to it I listened to it my entire commute and now I am steeped in this mood o' melancholia. So you should be as well, is my point. Okay okay here is something to cheer you up after:

Good Night, We Said

Well I seem to have run out of things to say for the day, so that'll be our Tuesday. I kinda just want to run home, hopefully avoiding the big rainstorm about to hit NYC, and watch Prez-to-be Kamala Harris introduce her veep-to-be Tim Walz in Pennsylvania and maybe feel some f'ing hope in my empty chest cavity for a change. What a thought! Anyway on that note -- click here to donate to their campaign! Let's make it a killer day for fundraising for the good guys. And in return for all of these excellent, sexy vibes, I gift you with that photo of Oscar Isaac. You are welcome.

I Quit Smoking 16 Years Ago Today

Well, here we are. My nicotine cessation can officially drive a car in the United States now. Today marks sixteen years since I touched a dirty filthy cigarette and sixteen years of me doing these posts of famous men looking hot as shit while smoking dirty filthy cigarettes. I regret nothing! I admit remain surprised that I can continue to find enough photos to fill up these posts, but I hear smoking has become cool with the kids again? I don't recommend it obviously, but I also can't lie...

... sexy motherfuckers be looking sexy while doing it. And listen, nobody should be looking to me for moral guidance. I'm just a fucked up girl who's lookin' for my own peace of mind -- don't assign me yours! Oh wait that's Kate Winslet in Eternal Sunshine. The point remains! Don't smoke! Unless you're sexy! Then do whatever the hell you want to. Hit the jump for a pile of photos and gifs...
