Man Of Steel Bars

.

I sorta figured when I posted about it this morning that we'd have more info right quick with regards to Christopher Meloni's role in Zach Snyder's Superman movie, but I figured hey, we don't get enough reasons to post pictures of Meloni's days on Oz nearly as much as we'd like to these days so I'll stretch this shit out into as many posts as I can just so I can post more shots like above. There is and probably never will be a shortage of images of Meloni like that from that show, bless its sick little heart. Anyway, he's clarified his role in Man of Steel a bit, via Vulture:

"Don't let the bald head fool you: Christopher Meloni, the latest star linked to Zack Snyder's Superman movie Man of Steel, will not be playing villain Lex Luthor (as some online fans have speculated). When Vulture caught up with the now ex–Law & Order: SVU star at the Public Theater Gala earlier this week, he told us he'd be instead playing a general in the movie. But when we pressed for more information about the role, he said, "I can't tell you, or I'd have to kill you." We did manage to learn that he starts filming at the end of August and he'll shoot his part over the course of five months in locations including Chicago, Vancouver, and Edwards Air Force Base."

That's Justin Chatwin in some movie called Funkytown (via), as in Let Me Take You To, as in I have no idea except it's set in the 70s - hence the hair and gold chainery - and it's got Justin Chatwin involved in some sort of gayish scene while in tighty-whities. And that is enough really, aint' it? Plenty enough.

You know what television is in desperate need of? A cooking show with Hugh Dancy making us food while wearing nothing but jeans. I don't know why it took me so long to realize this but now that I have there it sits, like one of Plato's Ideals or Oprah's Favorite Things - indisputable, etched into stone. It's cruel for Claire Danes to keep such a spectacle all cooped up. There is a hole at the center of the world, Claire, and only your husband cooking food while wearing only jeans can fill it! Why can't you see that, Claire? Why?!?

Ahem. See a few more pics after the jump.

Also, a happy belated birthday to Hugh,

who turned 36 on this past Sunday.

(these are from his 2003 movie Tempo)

Well, it's that time again! White Collar's back on the air so Matty Bomer's selling the wares anew. Bless him. (pics via)

Looking at him makes me so crazy with lust and jealousy and rage sometimes. With his stupid perfect hair and abs and eyeballs. I actually went to IMDb to see how tall he was when I was looking at these pictures so I could be all, "Ha ha he's short!"

But he's not short, he's 5'11-1/2" (although that 1/2" there is such a 5'11"'er's desperate strain for six foot it's obvious he's probably even pushing the 5'11" thing)... but he is shorter than me so I could at least tower over him by a few inches and feel momentarily better about myself. Ahhh.

Dammit nope that's gone, he's perfect,

I hate him again. Bastard person.

I Saw The Eagle...

.

... in theaters and the closest I ever came to reviewing it was, shockingly, one time mentioning the above moment with Channing in the finest of period-specific fur bedclothes. Huh. I can scarcely remember the movie now, these few months later. I recall Tahar Rahim showing some needed presence under barbarian war-paint and Jamie Bell getting into an extended kerfuffle wearing nothing but low-slung leather pants. Anyway it's out on DVD today so all this can be yours, the end!

Hair of the dog with Charlie Hunnam!

(via) These are from The Ledge, that movie he's in with Patrick Wilson where they're both in love with Liv Tyler only Pat is a religious whack-job. The film's On Demand right now, I've been meaning to watch it but haven't gotten the chance. Any y'all done so yet? Lemme know what you thought if so. Is there really nothing flesh-wise from Patrick Wilson in it? Now that's blasphemy.

Good Morning, World

And a happy 45th birthday to one of MNPP's preeminent crushes, the actor Jason Patric. Looking sweaty and sleazy and drowning in alcohol has never in the history of ever worked for anybody better than it did for him in After Dark, My Sweet, and that's a cold hard emphasis on the latter fact.

Bradley Cooper Strip Searched

Apparently there is a 2002 movie called Bending All The Rules starring Bradley Cooper who at some point in the proceedings is jailed with another dude (played by David Gail, also seen below) and forced to take it off. I know this because PopWrap just posted the video of this happening, which you can watch at that link. For here, let's just post some caps, eh?

Under Jason Statham's Hood

.

I know you'll find this surprising, but Jason Statham is briefly shirtless in his most recent Jason Statham movie, The Mechanic. Okay... so that's actually the exact opposite of surprising. Jason Statham is a good boy to be commended, always giving us a little something-something with every movie. But what is surprising is his little something-something from The Mechanic hasn't gotten onto the internet yet from what I can tell, even though the film came out in January. That's crazy! So here it is.

I don't really have much to say on The Mechanic - it's your usual "Jason Statham is the manliest coolest most dangerous cat in the room" Jason Statham movie, although he and Ben Foster have good chemistry - if only their "chemistry" had been erotically explored! - and Foster's fascinating to watch, as always.
.

We do get to see Ben Foster come thisclose to some man-on-man with giant Jeff Chase though. Unfortunately they make with the punching and the stabbing instead of the nuzzling. Missed opportunity. Make hot sweaty man love, not war!

Good Morning, World

Happy 28, Louis Garrel!

Eric Bana's Wet Longjohns: Better Quality Edition

.

Hey remember how on a Saturday just four weeks ago I posted some really shitty quality caps of Eric Bana's scene in Hanna where he strips down to his white longjohns, goes for a swim, and then erupts from the sea sopping wet like a cotton-skinned Adonis? Well the gods be good because it didn't take us too long to get some much better caps. I dunno, do you think this scene might factor into our Gratuities at the end of the year? I never want to bet against there being a lot of gratuity to come, but I'd say this scene's a pretty safe bet at this point. Anyway, you're so not paying attention to my words right now. I could say anything here - I declare war on Argentina! I have thirteen and a half testicles! - and you'd take no notice. So let's just do our gawking. Gawk.

See a bunch more, including that already for-the-ages

step outta the surf, after the break!
