  • For a while, there were two competing Three Musketeers projects, one from a good director, Doug Liman, and one from a crap director, Paul W.S. Anderson. Well, Paul W.S. got his shit together and cast his first, beating Liman to the punch. As a result, Liman may be abandoning his project for All You Need Is Kill, an adaptation of the Hiroshi Sakurazaka novel about a soldier who battles an alien species. (Deadline)

  • The Thing sequel is happening hard now. There’s an official release date. April 29, 2011. Or the day you will find TK under his porch with a bottle of whiskey drinking himself into a weepy stupor. (You could probably find the same on April 28, 2011 and April 30, 2011. But on April 29th, he’ll have a reason).

  • Elliot Spitzer is set to become a permanent fixture on CNN; he’s close to a deal where he’d be the liberal pundit in another “Crossfire” type of show. Let that be a lesson to you, kids: If you hold a position of power and pay for sex, you might get your own show on the teevee. (NYPost)

  • What’d I say about adaptating ’80s television shows for the big screen? Historically, it’s a failure. It’s an even worse idea if you take an ’80s show without a particularly huge following and add an unlikable actor in the lead role, but apparently, Russell Crowe is attached to play the lead in an adaptation of “The Equalizer.” Will no one listen? Guh. (LAT)

  • The Joss Whedon-produced Cabin in the Woods, which was once delayed for a year so that it could be converted into 3D, looks to be delayed again. Perhaps indefinitely. All because MGM couldn’t pay its bills. Blame Tom Cruise. I do. (THR)

  • You know that big, gory birth scene in the novel Twilight: Breaking Dawn, where Bella gives birth to a vampire that comes out of her womb and eats her face or something? The screenwriter has decided not to include any of that in the movie, meaning that there’s still no reason to watch Twilight movies. (LAT)

  • Brian and Mark Gunn have been hired to write the Monster Squad remake that once seemed left for dead. My condolences to all of you. (THR)

  • Finally, what you’ve all been waiting for: Alison Brie discusses the Angry Pirate with Mrs. Vanlandingham. And no: That’s not figurative. It’s exactly what you think. Kind of.

    Dustin, I will forgive you for making me waste .2 seconds of my life scrolling down to find the Brie video.

    I will never forgive you if she is not on the freebie list.

    • Whorish words sound oh so much better when they come out of Alison Brie's mouth.

    Allison Brie has completely replaced Christina Hendricks as my girl crush. Especially after reading her story about screwing around in college. And after this video.

    Alison Brie could make a fortune making self-help sex position videos. Not even acting them out; just describing.

    She has this Morgan Freeman thing going on, but with more adorableness than gravitas. Everything just sounds...right coming from her, especially dirty stuff. She is high octane fetish fuel.

    And yes, she can be my sexy terrorist anytime.*

    *I am fully aware of what that means in context of the video, and am still debating on if I should add any qualifiers. She is THAT GOOD.

    "The Equalizer" was one of the most sophisticated private detective shows. It's inexplicable how that did not have a larger following. Or was its strength also its weakness? Either way, Russell Crowe is in no way a good replacement for the late, and great, Edward Woodward.

    Am I the only one that's offended about the Twilight news? Come on people! We now won't get to see a mutant fetis(h) break Kristen Stewarts spine before Edward tears her iron like womb open with his teeth and inject her with a syringe full of vampire venom! Who the fuck does not want to see that? Anything that involves possible physical pain to Kristen Stewart (acting obviously does) - I'm all for.

    I don't get why they're taking out the scene. Every single person who's gonna watch that movie has already READ THE BOOK, haven't they? and read the disgusting details? might as well go all out on the gore.

    I like this Allison Brie. Her choice of sexual approaches, well, not so much. But she would be great narrating a highlight show for cam2cam videos in the style of Lindsay Nelson's 1970s Notre Dame Football highlights show.

    Especially if she was wearing a little less clothing.

    The Thing 2!? Wow, I'm mixed emotionally about that. The original set the bar excessively high. If any CGI is used in the sequel, it will fail miserably.

    Also Alison Brie is pretty.

    I loved The Equalizer but I think that, like most/all other 80s shows that get the movie treatment, it was too much a product of its time.

    It did give me a lifelong crush on Edward Woodward, though. He was awesome. I do NOT want to see the Pork Bus wallowing around in those memories, goddamnit.

    There is no V in Mrs. Landingham's name. I don't mean to be picky, but I'm rewatching the series and right now getting to the end of season 2, so the subject's a little touchy for me at this particular moment. I'm tearing up right now just thinking about "Two Cathedrals".

    Thanks a lot for ruining Alison Brie for me. Fuckers.

    So... Trudy Campbell is telling Harry Crane about her sexual exploits.

    ...

    This is bad for my Mad Men loving brain.

    Alison is so sexy that for a split-second I wondered if I'd be able to perform the Bad Dog with her. That B&W video of her gently tugging on her lip is the hottest goddamned thing I've ever seen. It haunts my libido.

    And thank you, kristin!

    Can't see the other video here at work, but that's home computers are for...

    Will Russell Crowe be throwing phones instead of shooting guns in The Equalizer movie?

    Posted by: Mrs. Julien at June 17, 2010 3:35 PM

    I'm looking forward to what Kristen Stewart does to regain her Panic Room cred after all this Twilight bullshit is over. I expect disappointment.
