Movieline Premieres Three New Images From Josh Radnor’s happythankyoumoreplease

Last January, television star Josh Radnor ( How I Met Your Mother ) made his directorial debut at Sundance with happythankyoumoreplease , a genial New York-set romantic comedy that went on to snag the coveted Audience Award. Last week Movieline examined the film’s first trailer and decided we needed to see more, please, and what better way to do so than by premiering three new looks at the March release?

James Franco Adds ‘Serial Killer’ To Already Packed C.V.

James Franco — perhaps history’s greatest multipurpose agent since baking soda — has agreed to star and to direct in a biopic of serial killer Richard Ramirez , also known as the Night Stalker (and, no, not the one that investigated monsters ). Ramirez terrorized Los Angeles in the mid-80’s, before being arrested and convicted of 13 counts of murder, 5 attempted murders and 11 sexual assaults. So, Oscars , Faulker and Cormac McCarthy , his line of fictional underwear , Sal Mineo , and a novel of addiction. He either is incredibly organized and incredibly tired, or has the best cocaine.

IMDB Thinks Asians Are Pretty Much Interchangable

So, while I was underwhelmed by The Green Hornet , the best part was definitely Jay Chou’s Kato. Or, if I go by IMDB, that would be John Cho’s Kato. Yes, 38 year-old Korean-American John Cho is basically the same as 31 year-old Taiwanese Jay Chou. It reminds me how much I liked Ken Jeong’s Sulu in Star Trek last year. IMDB fixed the problem, but the long memory of the internet has the proof after the jump. [ /Film ]

Caption This Just-Released Still From Breaking Dawn’s Long-Awaited Sex Scene

We got a murkily-shot view of Breaking Dawn ‘s butter-colored sex scene last week, but now a high-res version has landed here at the Movieline Terrordrome, and it has frankly made my Sunday. To my eyes, it looks like it came from one of those old-timey photography studios in the mall that your mom drags you and your sister to so you can dress up like sepia-toned Civil War hookers or something. What about you, gentle reader? Peer through the margarine haze and leave your best captions in the comments now!

Alien Prequel Is No Longer An Alien Prequel, Proving That Prequels Are Usually Terrible

In the Small Mercies department, Ridley Scott recently revealed to soul sister site Deadline that his much talked-about Alien prequel movie has gone through a metamorphosis. Specifically, it’s no longer a prequel tied to the Alien mythology, it’s just a standalone movie now. And for that, I am quite thankful.
