Scarlett Johansson Too Sexy For The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo?

David Fincher went off on a really queer tangent involving E.T. to explain why Scarlett Johansson wasn’t cast in The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo. All he really needed to say was, “Anyone with eyeballs can see she is all wrong for the role.” Film Drunk, as is their boyish wont, has a slightly NSFW photo of ScarJo on this article. (Film Drunk)

Speaking of bosoms, a plastic surgeon, in an attempt to nail down the “ideal breast shape” examined a number of Page Three Girls. (Britishism!) Yes, I believe I saw this on an episode of “How I Met Your Mother.” (Daily Mail)

Speaking of television, “The Walking Dead” had the queerest product placement in the premiere. You remember that tool belt that young Carl Grimes found and exclaimed over? Yeah, weird, right? (Product Placement NYT)

Patty O’Green sent me this interesting article on van Goh that alleges Vincent did not, in fact, kill himself. Feh. It’s like they haven’t even seen that Space Turkey episode of “Doctor Who.” (BBC)

Writer Daniel Handler (aka Lemony Snicket) has a few thoughtful comments on the Occupy Wall Street movement. In typical Snicket fashion, the thoughts are expressed simply and clearly in a childlike but never condescending tone. (Occupy Writers)

What’s more childlike, attacking your husband with cupcakes or having your wife arrested for attacking you with cupcakes? (Gawker)

This story, of Kristen Stewart, Robert Pattinson and the Llama getting to put their prints outside Grauman’s Chinese Theater makes me want to attack the world with cupcakes. (MovieLine)

Folks, I am disgusted, Zach Braff has tweeted a photo of himself screwing one of his fans. (BioTV)

The Girl Scouts have updated their merit badge system. I’d like to think Leslie Knope is responsible and that Cupcake Throwing is on the updated list. (Fashionably Geek)

What’s better than one awesome 5-second film? 20 awesome 5-second films spliced together for maximum viewing enjoyment. It’s the easiest way to see Patton Oswalt explode. (Uproxx)

You may have seen this already, but too many of my little link spotters sent it my way for me to ignore. So, here it be, Teenage Mutant Ninja Noses. (TMNN)

Speaking of geek things, here’s a pretty great gallery from NYCC featuring my third favorite costume: Unsexy Slave Leia. (NY Daily News)

Speaking of costumes, one of the gorgeous ladies over at Hot Ink has a great list of costumes for couples. For those of you without a costume mate, you can be the Salt to my Pepa. (Hot Ink Reviews)

Paul Bettany is presumably not in costume but, rather, just rocking an ascot and horn rims for fun. (Celebitchy)

Thanks to mswas and Daniel Carlson for sending me this video of all seven timelines from last week’s “Community” being played simultaneously. It’s impossible to follow, but fun to try.

Finally, a clever ad chock full of celebrities for The Clinton Foundation. Oh, Damon, please be in everything.

Joanna Robinson’s favorite costume from NYCC was this one. Her second favorite was this one.

my third favorite costume: Unsexy Slave Leia.

Thank the Lord for purple shorts.

This year my other half and I came up with the best couples costume ever. I'm going as Cthulhu and he's going as H. P. Lovecraft. Be jealous.

Cthulhu R'lyeh!

The purple shorts totally ruined it for me.

ScarJo has WAAYYY too much boobage to be playing Lisbeth Salander--I'm surprised they even LET her try out for the role....

Did they give you a wedgie, admin?

To be fair on the cupcake hurling thing, it said she was beating him over the head and THEN reached for the desserts and pelted him with them. So technically she was beating him BEFORE delicious confections were brought into the equation. Of course, as this is a scenario where he has been arrested for beating her on several occasions, I really just think this is a marriage made of fail, cupcake missiles or not.

That Vogue article featuring Mara and Fincher was a peculiar read, to say the least. Sure, Scarlett is too curvy to emulate Salander's physicality but it sounds so classless and unprofessional coming from Fincher (even if the point was to compliment his protégée). !

Too sexy? Is that a nice way of saying she is a crap actress who can't handle a more serious role?

Matt Damon can be on my softball team any time.

Posted by: Lemon Poundcake at October 18, 2011 2:08 PM

That's why I stopped auditioning for parts...too sexy.

Posted by: John W at October 18, 2011 2:11 PM

Lemony Snicket - still precious after all these years.

That wasn't a tool belt in "The Walking Dead" that Carl finds. It was more like a Gerber product kit.

Although I wouldn't mind a tool belt that accommodates knives, axes, and machetes.

Bonus: They look badass, AND they're dependable.

I'll wait for my check in the mail, Gerber.

That Doctor Who episode is one of my favorites, but I almost never watch it because I cry like a child every time. Poor Chickensauraus...

***Groan*** @Zach Braff.

Jurassic Park costume: great. Ruby Rhod...o.k., I guess the costume is competent and some of you inexplicably enjoy his character in that movie.

What if Vincent van Gogh did not actually kill himself the first time but instead did so as a result of the departure of The Doctor and Amy? He seemed happy, but perhaps depression overcame him after a few days when he realized how much he missed them.

Or what if they did prevent his suicide and Vincent was all motivated to live out his natural life with lots of art, but then this accidental homicide thing happened that no one realized?

The legacy of the Space Turkey survives!

Matt Damon needs to be in everything but only with hair.

Posted by: JenVegas at October 18, 2011 4:29 PM

Is he pulling off a Princess Leia or is he one of Christ's executioners?

Posted by: Adrien at October 18, 2011 8:49 PM

When I read that Damon was in that video, I hurried and played it thinking that it was Damon Salvatore. Clearly, I have Vampire Diaries on my brain.
Matt Damon's cool, though.

Also, there are times when I started to tear up just thinking of that Van Gogh episode. Alone, all alone.

Yeah... right... ScarJo as Lizbeth Salander... you might as well have cast Christina Hendricks.

Posted by: MRod at October 19, 2011 1:29 PM

So how many goddamn times are they going to make this movie?
