Celebrate True Blood’s Emmy Nod with a Shirtless, Man-Licking Alexander Skarsgard

We have to admit, we didn’t see True Blood’s Emmy nod for Best Drama coming , but now that it’s happened, shouldn’t we all get drunk and lick a dude’s back in celebration? No? Damn, someone should really tell Alexander Skarsgard.

The Jack Goes Boating Trailer: Philip Seymour Hoffman Goes Swimming

If today was Sundance Movie Trailer Day, then why wasn’t it listed on my Google Calendar? Anyway, here comes the trailer for Philip Seymour Hoffman’s directorial debut Jack Goes Boating , a Sundance fave that answers the question: Why was Philip Seymour Hoffman wearing dreads during his red carpet appearances last year?

What’s On: Oh, Brother

Big Brother returns to CBS tonight with a brand new conceit and 13 housemates who will soon have to talk to each other. Julie Chen will narrate the adventures as our trusty host, and hopefully the show waits until at least episode three or so before they bring back Chima . Here’s hoping!

Oscars Expand Visual Effects Category

So much for the bake-off! The Oscars used to release a list of seven semi-finalists for the Visual Effects category, eventually trimming the contenders down to a measly three nominees (which squeezed out films like Terminator Salvation, Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen , and 2012 last year), but now that virtually every summer film has become an FX smorgasbord, the Academy has relented and expanded the nominee field to five. Keep your fingers crossed, Hydraulicon ! [ Coming Soon ]

On VOD: Will the Real Best Reality-Competition Series Please Stand Up?

I’m hard to please, I know, but reality shows just won’t interest me until they actually involve outright homicide, like they do in movies. You know, Death Race 2000 (just out on Blu-ray!), Rollerball , Battle Royale , ad infinitum. I guess until that happens we’ll just have to be satisfied with the simulacra, including Daniel Minahan’s forgotten mock-doc Series 7: The Contenders , on demand…

Aaron Johnson Enters X-Men, Fatherhood

Sure, Aaron Johnson didn’t get that Spider-Man role. He didn’t want it anyway! At least the 20-year-old actor has two nifty consolation prizes: a rumored role as Cyclops in X-Men: First Class (where he’d reunite with his Kick-Ass director Matthew Vaughn), and a new baby daughter, Wylda Rose , birthed by his 43-year-old Nowhere Boy director Sam Taylor-Wood. It is safe to say that no one loves his directors more than Aaron Johnson. [ AICN , Daily Mail ]

Joss Whedon’s Wonder Woman Would Have Worn Pants Too

Were you a little put out by the DC Comics unveiling of the newly redesigned Wonder Woman , who now wears pants and a Hot Topic jacket while boasting breasts the size of her head? If so, I’m curious to hear what you’d make of the following designs, which were commissioned for Joss Whedon’s aborted take on the project.

Adjustment Bureau Lives Up to its Name, Moves Again to March 2011

Universal this afternoon passed along a new batch of release dates for its 2010-11 slate, and it looks… unfortunate. Not to be the eternal skeptic or anything, but how else should one respond to The Adjustment Bureau getting moved a second time in three months — and this time all the way to next March? Will this be 2011’s surprise off-season blockbuster, a la Shutter Island ? Or will it be its bloated, mistimed flop The Wolfman ?

REVIEW: Youth Zooms by in Spectacularly Rich Racing Dreams

A lot of hyperbole gets jacked up and spun around in the opening scenes of Racing Dreams, Marshall Curry’s wonderful and wonderfully surprising documentary about the junior NASCAR set. Three youngsters, we are informed in the hammy voice-over that accompanies a rock-and-roll montage of candy-colored cars streaking around a track, are about to embark on the year that will determine whether they’ve “got what it takes” to “make it” as race-car drivers. To “go the distance,” if you will. Vrrrrrrooooozzzzzzzz.

Could the James Bond Delay Actually Be a Good Thing?

We’ve been told over and over for decades that James Bond will return, and implicit in that promise is that in the in-between time won’t be long at all. The turmoil at MGM has changed all that, however; not only has the next Bond film lost Sam Mendes as the director , but now, according to an irate Harry Knowles , development on the movie has stopped completely (not to be confused with when it stopped indefinitely ). Is that really so bad, though?
