Psychoanalyze Me!

1. New David Cronenberg film.

2. Viggo Mortensen.

3. Vincent Cassel.

What more do you need to know?

There are but a few directors who excite me and Cronenberg is one of them - I gravitate toward his dark, violent, gritty worlds and I love the actors with whom he journeys. Recently he seems fascinated by Viggo Mortensen and Vincent Cassel and who can argue with their appeal? (Nobody. The correct answer here is nobody.) Both men appeared in various states of undress (Oh, did I forget to mention Cronenberg’s delightful habit of presenting actors in various states of undress? Do add that to his appeal.) in Eastern Promises and both are slated to appear in that film’s sequel. (I’m hoping for porn.) But for right now, we’ll have to content ourselves with a few photos from his upcoming meditation on Sigmund Freud (Mortensen) and Carl Jung (Michael Fassbender) and the birth of psychoanalysis. Keira Knightley joins the boys as a patient with whom Jung has an affair; Vincent Cassel plays another patient who “pushes boundaries”. (Yes, I would like some of that too please.)

I’m going to ignore Keira Knightley altogether and focus on the idea of Viggo as my therapist; we’ll discuss my sexual dreams and see where it goes from there.

A Dangerous Method is scheduled for a 2011 release.

you had me at "Cronenberg's" in the header.

if I were wearing panties, they would have exploded, but as a conservative male i slightly raised one corner of my mouth in facsimile of a gaping grin

Posted by: idleprimate at October 20, 2010 5:16 PM

ok, now i have read the synopsis and had no choice but to find and don some panties so they might explode

Careful, Rowles might hack your webcam...

Oh, Cronenberg....where have you gone? The real Cronenberg...the head-exploding, placenta-eating, monkey-turning-inside-out-ing, gun made out of bones and firing human teeth as bullets, man growing vagina in his stomach Cronenberg. You've been replaced by some guy who has a hard on for Viggo Mortensen and directs shit that virtually any director with a Director's Guild card could make. Come back, Cronie! Come baaaaaaack!

Well, dang, Viggo looks hot. And I usually don't even find him that attractive-except as Aragorn. Aragorn is smokin'.

Sign me up. Viggo + Vin = pantygasm

Can I get some love for Fassbender?

Or, well, FROM Fassbender?

@case,

a director who spent his youth exploring visual and nightmarish imaginations based on his psychological understandings wants to, in his maturing years, make a film about probable influences and you would lament because the film won't feature a pistol being expelled from a belly?

context and evolution, baby!

we have new young directors depicting lurid nightmares. cronenberg shouldn't resist his growth and try and displace a new generation of feast directors or human centipede directors. especially if he still has a lot to say as a story teller.

you lament where you might celebrate

"context and evolution, baby!"


And also, man-ass.

Posted by: BarbadoSlim at October 20, 2010 6:26 PM

Viggo? Meh.

Michael Fassbender? Yes, please.

Though from that picture, it's hard to believe that's the same guy from 300 and Fish Tank.

barbado, you are almost a troll, except for your droll understanding and disdain for your surroundings.

cheers!

Somebody please tell me that Keira Knightley is in therapy for anorexia.

That would SO fit.

Funny, I think Keira looks like she's made the acquaintance of a sandwich or two since her last film. She no longer looks as though her skin is going to crack and fall away. But I'll be going to see Viggo, because I love his voice.

Viggo Viggo Viggo Viggo Viggo Viggo Viggo Viggo

Reba, really? I think her face in that second picture looks gray and emaciated. The only mass in that photo is an illusion created by that corset pushing her armpit and sideboob skin up combined with an odd camera angle.

I think the film seems interesting, I'll give it a whirl when it comes out.

Posted by: Viking at October 20, 2010 8:54 PM

I'm calling bullshit on that being Fassbender Fassbender.

That's Kevin Kline. And you all know it.

Posted by: D-Day at October 20, 2010 9:01 PM

Viggo's false nose is really killing his attractiveness for me.

Posted by: Uda at October 20, 2010 11:37 PM

No Ed Harris? Sob!

Get back to me when you have stills of full-frontal Viggo.

Posted by: PaddyDog at October 21, 2010 9:27 AM

Is there any word on the script for the movie? I'm very interested in the idea that although someone may be the progenitor of a field, e.g. Freud, Hemingway, Pollock, their work is still not the foremost example of that new theory or system. I wonder if the movie will grapple with that or with some of Freud's now discredited notions.

As god as my witness, I thought it was Winona Ryder in the second last photo.

Yeah, yay...he "evolved" into someone who makes anonymous, forgettable crap. Great. Good for him. *eye roll*
