Gregg Araki Gets Sexy Again

Bring on the Araki! After getting busy with candy-coated 3-ways in Splendor, Gregg Araki concocted a little yin and yang. First came the gritty drama of Mysterious Skin, which revealed a range we didn't know existed. Then came the exact opposite -- the ridiculous Anna Faris-starring stoner comedy Smiley Face. But now the cult director is heading back to the green sprouts of sexual exploration.
The Hollywood Reporter posts that Araki is shooting his latest feature, Kaboom, and he's tapped Roxane Mesquida (Fat Girl), Thomas Dekker (Sarah Connor Chronicles), Kelly Lynch (Charlie's Angels), and Rooney Mara (Youth in Revolt) to star. Not much is being revealed at this time, but here's what I could find online. As THR notes, Kaboom will focus on "the sexual awakening of a group of college students." Araki started the feature last month, Helen STELLaR is performing in a scene, and Ann Magnuson (Panic Room

Gregg Araki Goes With Sex For His Next Movie

Thus far in his career Gregg Araki has specialized in making tiny indies that critics love but nobody sees. Whether it's the gritty Joseph Gordon-Levitt drama Mysterious Skin or the mysteriously underseen comedy Smiley Face, the guy can't seem to catch on with major audiences.
But you know what they say about sex and how it sells. THR reports that Araki's next project is Kaboom, about "the sexual awakening of a group of college students." Naturally, the kids he's selected for the cast are ridiculously attractive-- French actress Roxanne Mesquida, Sarah Connor Chronicles star Thomas Dekker, and Rooney Mara will be among the college kids, while Kelly Lynch (also ridiculously attractive) will fill in for an adult role.
A movie about college kids having sex can turn into virtually anything, but mainly it'd be nice if it meant a hit for Araki. Then again, if his comedy starring Anna Faris

Jane Lynch Talks 'Paul,' Seth Rogen, Simon Pegg And Eating With Aliens

One of the movies we’re watching closely in these parts is “Paul,” the next off-the-wall comedy from Simon Pegg and Nick Frost. Two of the guys behind “Shaun of the Dead” and “Hot Fuzz.” By now, you probably know that "Paul" has a dream cast which includes Pegg, Seth Rogen, Kristen Wiig, Sigourney Weaver, Jason Bateman and Bill Hader. However, little has been divulged about the role played by comedy veteran Jane Lynch – a scene stealer in flicks like “Role Models,” “The 40 Year Old Virgin” and most any Christopher Guest mockumentary you can think of. Until now, that is.
“In ‘Paul,’ I am in one scene, but it’s a pretty cool one,” Lynch explained when we caught up with her recently. “I run this little restaurant called the ‘Ailey-Inn.’”
For those of you who might not get the gag, “Paul” is about some comic book geeks who

Have a question about gay male entertainment? Ask the Monkey! (Please include your city and state and/or country.)
Q: Oh wise and airborne simian, I've noted the massive number of posts on Torchwood over the last couple of weeks, and I wonder if it hasn’t generated more posts than any other topic on After Elton.com. If it hasn't, what subject has? -- Hayden, London, UK
Captain Jack says goodbye to Ianto in Torchwood: Children of Earth
A: First, your salutation made me laugh. Second, the answer is unequivocally yes, nothing else has ever come close to the interest we’ve seen in Torchwood’s “Children of Earth”mini-series – specifically creator Russell T Davies’ decision to kill off the gay character of Ianto. By now, we’ve all made our opinions known ad nauseum, so I won’t get into that again.
But I’ve also talked

"Observe and Report" - We interview Anna Faris!

Anna Faris and Seth Rogen in "Observe and Report"
In anticipation for the upcoming release of "Observe & Report," we are pleased to offer our interview with Anna Faris, co-star of the comedy starring Seth Rogen.
Jody Hill ("The Foot Fist Way") helms from his own screenplay. The film sees release on April 10th.
Comedy Queen Anna Faris Beds Seth Rogen, but wait, there's a reason
The confidence that comes with being a chart-topping comic actress; the status as one of the best comediennes working today and someone with first-hand knowledge of “Playboy” founder Hugh Hefner, no less, allows Anna Faris (pronounced Ånna) to sit in the back booth of a noisy Park City, Utah restaurant and be at total ease.
More serious-minded actors require quiet in order to gather their thoughts but Faris shows little concern for the chaos typical of the Sundance Film Festival.
Outside, film crews and photographers

The folks behind the New York City Horror Film Festival sent along word that they’re teaming with Anchor Bay Entertainment to present a free screening of Laid To Rest in Manhattan this Thursday, April 2. The gory shocker marks the second directorial venture for makeup FX artist Robert Hall.
Laid To Rest, in which Bobbi Sue Luther (pictured) plays a young woman who wakes up in a coffin with no memory, and is relentlessly pursued by a villain called ChromeSkull, will show Thursday night at 9:30 p.m. at the Village East Cinema (22 East 12th Street). No RSVPs are necessary, but get there early ’cause seats are first come, first served. This showing is part of the Laid To Rest screening tour that also includes stops in Austin, TX, Phoenix, Az and Baltimore, MD; see our previous item here, and for lots more on the movie, check out its official website.

SXSW '09 Podcast: Anna Faris

"Why are drunk chicks so funny?" asks Aaron Hillis, kicking off this lively interview with the extremely talented and hilarious actress.
[As my annual Austin adventure finally comes to an end tomorrow, I leave you with one last podcast. Stay tuned for my SXSW "Films of the Week" reviews later this weekend.]
Quickly becoming one of the go-to heroines of screen comedy, Anna Faris (Smiley Face, The House Bunny) handily and hilariously steals each of her scenes in writer-director Jody Hill's Observe and Report, which screened as the centerpiece film at SXSW. Like others who have pointed out the similarities, it really does play like the comic analogue to Taxi Driver, its disturbing "jokes" provoking mostly nervous laughter, with a doozy of a punchline.

Jeffrey Dean Morgan: The Watchmen Interview

Under the Hood: The Tears of the Comedian
With the long-awaited arrival of Watchmen, it’s a whole new ball game for both the super hero film genre, and for actor Jeffrey Dean Morgan.
By Terry Keefe
(Note: This article is appearing in this month's Venice Magazine.)
Watchmen was the first comic to make me a little bit scared of super heroes. It also abruptly killed any lingering childhood fantasies of ever wanting to be one. Having read super hero comics since literally the day I could put the words in the thought balloons together, Watchmen arrived as a comics fan’s equivalent of a neutron bomb, not to mention a major reality check, during my mid-teens, in 1986. (And yes, they were still called comic books then, as the term “graphic novel” took many years to catch on, even though Watchmen was to eventually become the most revered graphic novel of all time.

Watchmen Interactive Site = Fun & New Footage

There’s yet another a new Watchmen viral site that offers a bit of interactive fun to those willing to have their heads examined by good old Dr. Rorschach and his ink blot test.
The prize for taking this twisted exam? Rorschach’s psychological survey of each of the individual Watchmen, expressed in the form of clips from the film, clips which feature just a tiny bit of never-before-seen footage.
The site is called “Six Minutes To Midnight,” six being the number of Watchmen, midnight being the hour of Armageddon on the doomsday clock. “Patients” log in by entering their name, and are then treated (after a brief video intro) to Dr. Rorschach’s ink blot pad, a crinkled piece of paper with a fluid ink blot that morphs into six different shapes, each shape representing one of the Watchmen.
Your job as the patient is to write down what
