Selena Gomez Failed at Halloween of the Day

I don’t know why Selena Gomez is hanging with Ellen dressed like Frankenstein…but I do know that her costume fucking sucks. Maybe dating Justin Beiber has given her a taste of lesbianism she can’t get out of her mouth…you know since he is a Little Woman….leading to birkenstocks in socks, flannel, organic raw vegan diets, furgal eco travel in youth hostels, volunteering at orphanages, and remember always that penis is the devil….and thus we must not dress in a way that makes them hard…not even on Halloween…. Or maybe, I’m just over reacting.

WATCH: Death, Zombie-Making, and Other Childhood Concerns Abound in Frankenweenie Trailer

Leave it to Tim Burton to make even the gruesomest scenarios utterly heart-wrenching; I started welling up during the first 30 seconds of the new trailer for Frankenweenie , the black and white stop-motion animation adaptation of Burton’s well-loved short of the same name. Watch it and shed a tear for the childhood pets you once loved. Frankenweenie is the tale of young Victor Frankenstein, who loses his beloved dog and best friend, Sparky, and then brings him back to life with science. The feature-length animation is adapted from Burton’s original Frankenweenie featurette , one of his early works and a live-action short that starred The NeverEnding Story ‘s Barret Oliver, Shelley Duvall, Daniel Stern, and a young Sofia Coppola. As lore tells it, Burton’s overlords at Disney were initially displeased with the 1984 Frankenweenie and fired him for making a movie that was too scary for kids; Burton went on to make his feature directorial debut on Pee-Wee’s Big Adventure and subsequently made his name with the same macabre-yet-sweet sensibility that earned him the boot from Disney in the first place. Almost three decades later, Burton comes full circle with Frankenweenie and Disney, who hitched themselves to Burton with The Nightmare Before Christmas (released by Touchstone) and most recently enjoyed a megahit with his Alice in Wonderland . In a way, Burton himself prepped audiences to accept the kind of dark children’s storytelling in Frankenweenie with his previous films, so it all feels like poetic justice. Via Yahoo! : Verdict: Frankenweenie looks like the perfect melding of Nightmare / Corpse Bride -style stop motion and Burton’s original short, down to the Poodle Bride of Frankenweenie. Sold! Frankenweenie hits theaters October 5.

About the Time Kal Penn Took Two Years Off to Work for President Obama

“There was a selflessness about it. He was there for the right reasons. He believed in the candidate, he believed in the cause. He was approachable, he didn’t put on any airs. And he loved to work hard…. We’d take him to five, six college campuses a day, and he’d never complain…. You could have asked him to do anything — go lick some stamps, he would’ve done that.” Spurred into public service during the Writer’s Strike, Kal Penn (who’s back on screens next week in A Very Harold & Kumar 3D Christmas ) took a mid-level outreach gig in the Obama administration that, at one point, caused his agent to freak out: “What are you doing? The guy is down 30 points in the polls. It’s not cute anymore!” [ L.A. Times ]

Exclusive: New Marty Feldman Bio Goes Behind the Scenes of Young Frankenstein

This week brings film buffs and comedy devotees alike the pleasure of Marty Feldman: The Biography of a Comedy Legend , author Robert Ross’s revelatory new chronicle of the turbulent life and premature death of the titular British TV and film comic. An aspiring jazz musician-turned-comedian known predominantly for the pop-eyed visage he brought to his acting, writing and directing projects, Feldman’s broad influence on British comedy of the ’60s receives a close look from interview subjects including Michael Palin, Terry Jones and, from tapes recorded for his unfinished memoir, even Feldman himself. But his impact hardly ended there — as anyone who’s seen Young Frankenstein knows.

REVIEW: Almodóvar’s The Skin I Live In a Twisty, Sci-Fi Psychosexual Melodrama

The idea of building a person to spec — especially when that person is some form of ideal woman — is one that’s haunted the movies in variations from My Fair Lady to Vertigo to Bride of Frankenstein to Weird Science . It’s an echo of the constructing of a character that results in what you see on screen — a figure who’s the joint creation of an actor, director, writer, makeup artist, dialect coach, costume designer, ad infinitum. But it’s also a concept that provides a counter to the typical romance saga in which two people who are perfect for one other come together. Why search for your match when you can make one?

Spanish Sexpot Elena Anaya Talks The Skin I Live In

Nudity Hall-of-Famer Elena Anaya is very comfortable in the skin she lives in, an assertion supported by her 14 onscreen nude roles. Now she’s is about to rack up her 15th skinema credit as Vera , the beautiful captive of demented plastic surgeon Antonio Banderas in The Skin I Live In , Pedro Almodovar ‘s lush take on the Frankenstein myth. Elena sat down to discuss the film with the horror site Bloody-Disgusting.com , which asked the Spanish sexpot about filming a disturbing rape scene that occurs towards the end of the film: “It depends who you do it with. I’m very concerned about nudity, about sex scenes that sometimes are cheap, like they don’t need to be in the film. Then I’m so restrictive. If the scenes are there for a reason, like this one was, I’m brave, ” she said. Ultimately, though, Elena says she brushes off such dark material: “It’s fiction. Sometimes those scenes, the scenes that look difficult, they are not. You’re playing. You’re acting. You’re going to some place, of course with your own emotions and everything, but it’s not yourself.” The Skin I Live In opens this Friday, October 14 , but Mr. Skin members can see much, much more of Elena Anaya right here at MrSkin.com!

On DVD: When the Wolfbane Blooms…

You may have to be an old-school psychotronica fan to get all flushed about The Wolfman , the big-budget, bandwagon-jumping remake famous at this point only for bad reviews and a brief box-office fizzle in February. It’s a schizophrenic movie at heart, longing to be a big ker-splash the pleases the hordes but at the same time wallow in the deep pools of yesteryear “monster culture” with which not many filmgoers under 35 will be intimate. Even among those of us older than that, only a small slice will have seen the original Wolfman (1941), can recall Famous Monsters of Filmland magazine and The Monster Times, harbor memories of local TV station “horror hosts,” and can name the four actors that played the Frankenstein monster in the ’30s-’40s Universal series, in order.
