One Day Very Soon, Jon Hamm May Stick His Cocktail Stirrer in Christina Hendricks' Snifter

The fantastic Lindsay Bahr wrote about her adorable experience as an extra on “Dawson’s Creek.” James Van Der Beek totally made fun of her shoes. (Hairpin)

It’s pilot season, which means that lots of familiar actors are landing potential TV gigs. Here’s 7 notable actors who have landed gigs, ranked in order of hotness. (WarmingGlow)

I love Matthew Perry, but with the exception of his stellar role on “The West Wing,” he hasn’t really found a suitable post “Friends” role. Now, perhaps he has: He’ll be in a multi-episode arc on “The Good Wife.” How great would it be if he also became Alicia’s long-term love interest? (THR)

TK was not a fan of Ghost Rider: Spirit of Vengeance, not even a little bit. And if there’s anyone that might like that movie, it’s TK. However, the film does have a few insane scenes, but thankfully, you can find them ALL right here. No need to waste your money on the film. (Gamma Squad)

Speaking of Ghost Rider, here’s Nic Cage’s reaction after reading any script.

How do you you solve what’s ailing “The Walking Dead”? Bring in Omar Little. No, not Michael K. Williams. Literally, Omar Little (and five other characters from deceased TV shows that could enliven the AMC Series). (Unreality)

While we’re on the topic of Omar Little, the most versatile character on television is also a big supporter of marriage rights for gays and lesbians. Here’s proof. (Buzzfeed)

It’s bad enough that the Muppets will be unable to perform their Oscar nominated songs at this year’s telecast (though they will present), but now comes word that someone nearly as endearing won’t be attending, either. (Screenjunkies)

I read Jordan Hoffman’s headline, “The Best Satanic Movies You Haven’t Seen” and thought, “Fuck you. I’m a movie critic. I’m sure I’ve seen them.” Wrong. I’ve seen only two. (Slashfilm)

Over on Kotaku, Mike Fahey talks about how good kids have it today with video games because back in his day, all he had was the likes of Duck Hunt. We’ll let me tell you, Mr. Fahey. You don’t know how good you had it with your fancy plastic guns. Try playing video-game baseball on an Atari 2600 with crappy joysticks that broke if you swung too hard. (Kotaku)

“Jurassic Parks and Rec” demonstrates that tumblr mash-ups haven’t worn out their welcome just yet (Jeff Goldblum plus Jean-Ralphio? Absolutely). (Uproxx)

I don’t love the headline for this, “Tiffani Amber Thiessen is Hot Again” because it suggests that she wasn’t hot at some point, that point being post-pregnancy, which totally doesn’t count, which is to say, the headline should read: “Tiffani Amber Thiessen Is, As She’s Always Been, Totally Hot.” (Evil Beet)

In a recent interview, Jon Hamm spilled some details about the forthcoming season of “Mad Men” and how his character and that of Christina Hendricks will begin to explore their relationship further. (WG)

TK passed along this fascinating video in which the Bechdel test is applied to the current crop of Oscar nominees to see how relevant women are to the plots of those films.

Disregarding your nigh-unforgivable dismissal of Matthew Perry's part on Studio 60, I'm glad that he's getting some work. The fact that Matt Leblanc is leading a series but he isn't is a crime.

when the gamma squad link is fixed and it no longer directs me to evil beet, this comment will look retarded.

Awesome (and sobering) video on the Bechdel test.

Posted by: linny at February 17, 2012 3:02 PM

Since Studio 60 was not a good show and just rehashed elements from Sports Night and West Wing, it can be overlooked.

Ah, Dustin. I broke many a joystick in my day.

That's an *Atari* joystick, mind you. Ever since warned of my "kung fu monkey death grip" I have managed not to break other sorts of joysticks.

I didn't know this "It’s bad enough that the Muppets will be unable to perform their Oscar nominated songs at this year’s telecast"...now I do...and will not be as excited...thanks Academy

Ok,Sara Tonin, you're on:

Studio 60 was a more nuanced show than Sports Night was in its early years,whenthey were still hung up on 90s sitcom conventions. And while it incorporated many elements of both Sports Night and The West Wing, this hardly disqualifies it from being a good show; a talented cast is a talented cast, and Studio 60 definitely had one of those, particularly in Matthew Perry and Bradley Whitford, who portrayed one of the best on-screen comedy duos in the last ten years of television. A short life span killed some of the continuity, as Sorkin was focused on concluding story arcs more than on making the narrative flow in the back half of the show's run, but I put it to you that the show had as much sophistication and vigor as some of the early episodes of The West Wing, which, much as I love the show, took time to find its groove and reach the heights it eventually reached. The Christmas episode of Studio 60 is one of my favorite episodes of any show, ever, and I watch far too many television shows for my own good, so I take that claim seriously.

Umm... Omar can come at me ANYTIME.

Posted by: Drake at February 17, 2012 3:29 PM

That is the prettiest pic I have seen of Hendricks when looking "normal", as in, not covered with 18 pounds of make-up and her upper body booty holding up her chin. Looks 5 years younger than usual.

Dayum! Hamm could sand a table top with that beard!

He could sand my table with that beard.

I, too, saw that satanic films post and thought bullshit about not seeing them. I was right. I better have been. You can't describe yourself as a religious horror aficionado if you aren't well versed in cinematic Satans. That 1920s Satan film is excellent, by the way.

Posted by: Robert at February 17, 2012 4:04 PM

Seconded on that L.O.V.E.
She looks like a normal person.
With a gigantic rack.
Which, I mean, let's just point out that her black hole of a shirt doesn't suffice to divert attention from her chest.

That Warming Glow article has its #1 and #7 mixed up. I'm sorry, but Kate Moennig > Kristin Kreuk. By a hell of a lot.

Posted by: Ghisent at February 17, 2012 4:18 PM

I have only seen one of the satanic movies on that list: The Ninth Gate. Sadly, I don't think it belongs on any list talking about good movies. The plot becomes more and more obvious over the course of the film, and then takes a turn to batshit crazy and seriously underwhelming at the end.

Posted by: FabMax at February 17, 2012 4:45 PM

Matthew Perry in the The Good Wife. There is a God!

Also, my tuppence worth is that Studio 60 could have been a great show if Sorkin hadn't turned it into his revenge on Chenoweth campaign. That storyline dragged down an otherwise excellent show.

Posted by: PaddyDog at February 17, 2012 4:46 PM

The worst part about The Ninth Gate is that it's a horrible movie based on an absolutely fantastic novel. Arturo Perez-Reverte's The Club Dumas is brilliant and, sadly, has little in common with the film.

"Duhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh .."

I got a good laugh out of it and that's all that matters.

Posted by: duckandcover at February 17, 2012 5:24 PM

If Jon Hamm left annoying as fuck Jennifer Westfeldt, and Christina Hendricks left goofy-looking Geoffrey Arend, and they hooked up, the world would make a lot more sense to me.

The Bechdel Test video was fascinating but ignores the fact that women lead busy lives and don't really have time to watch a 90-120 minute movie, hence they are mostly made for a male audience. After a long day at work, and then more hours at home looking after the kids and doing all the housework, they are lucky just to get a few minutes to read a magazine on the toilet let alone watch a 30-60 minute TV show. But some manage it by making their men load the dishwasher, which is why TV is so skewed towards the female audience with its cooking and gossip shows and situational comedy where the men are all stupid.
Even Sportcenter has something for the ladies: all those fit young athletic active men, creating impossible standards for real world men to live up to....

When I was a kid my cousins made me watch Prince of Darkness and it scarred me. I still don't have a mirror in my bedroom. I'm so glad that Slashfilm has vindicated my childhood fears.

HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAMMMM!

I miss you.

I second the acclaim for The Club Dumas. I'd say roughly about a third of the book was the basis for The Ninth Gate script... and the overt supernatural elements... well I'm not gonna spoil it for anyone who might read the book. Suffice to say I watched the movie first, and wondered at how the source might differ and within like 5 chapters I was completely hooked and forgot all about the movie.

Posted by: protoformX at February 17, 2012 9:07 PM

Has anyone seen "The Sorrows of Satan" (1926)? I read the book a few years ago and it's wonderfully written. Anyway, I haven't seen the film, but I was wondering if anyone who has seen it, would recommend it?

Huh, I was about to say the exact same thing.

Guess I sorta just did.

A comment on the Bechdel Test video: She notes that Hollywood has a problem with women and race being represented in film. This problem is especially acute at the intersection; black actresses.

I've seen Queen Latifah in Set It Off and Stranger Than Fiction, and I think she has the chops for a serious dramatic lead role in a major film, which I would definitely watch. However, almost all the film parts she can get are supporting roles and/or in comedies. It's ludicrous.

The most well-known black film actress of the last decade, Halle Berry has often been cast more for her physical appearance than for any other reason (If you don't believe me, Swordfish: 500 grand). And even she has had trouble getting good parts.
