It’s Thursday! Time To Admire James Franco’s Name In The Old-School Opening To ‘Oz’

It’s Thursday and Oz The Great and Powerful has topped $300 million worldwide at box office, according to Deadline . So, the Franco File is going to celebrate with a clip of what is arguably the best part of the movie: the black-and-white pre-CGI opening credits sequence.  Alas, there’s no footage of our hero, the artist James Franco half-assing it through the Emerald City, as David Edelstein might put it , or yelling “Look at this shit!” over and over at the Alamo Drafthouse. But his name is prominently displayed in old-school fashion right at the beginning of this thing, with lots of hypno-wheels spinning in the background — which is exactly how we think of James.  Enjoy.

3-Mile Wide Asteroid: En Route to Earth (Kind Of)!

A three-mile wide asteroid will fly by Earth over the next few days, offering astronomers and even average citizens a rare close-up … relatively speaking of course. The near-Earth asteroid 4179 Toutatis will be just 4.3 million miles of Earth during its closest approach early Wednesday, nothing close to Deep Impact style. Asteroid 4179 Toutatis Heading For Earth! That’s too far away to pose any impact threat on this pass, but close enough to put on a pretty good show through top-notch telescopes, researchers say. The online Slooh Space Camera and Virtual Telescope Project, which will both stream live, offer free footage of the asteroid from professional-quality observatories. Both of those online shows will feature commentary from Slooh president Patrick Paolucci and Astronomy Magazine columnist Bob Berman, who said: “Slooh technical staff will let the public follow this fast-moving asteroid in two different ways.” “In one view, the background stars will be tracked at their own rate and the asteroid will appear as an obvious streak or a moving time-lapse dot across the starry field.” “In a second view, Toutatis itself will be tracked and held steady as a tiny pointlike object, while Earth’s spin makes the background stars whiz by as streaks.” “Both methods will make the asteroid’s speedy orbital motion obvious as it passes us in space.” Asteroid Toutatis was first viewed in 1934, then officially discovered in 1989. It makes one trip around the sun every four years, according to experts. The Minor Planet Center in Cambridge, Mass., lists Toutatis as a potentially hazardous object, meaning that it could pose a threat to our planet at some point. The current flyby is no cause for concern, however. At its closest approach, Toutatis will still be 18 times farther away from Earth than the moon is. Toutatis would cause catastrophic damage if it ever did slam into Earth. In general, scientists think a strike by anything at least 0.6 miles wide could have global consequences, most likely by altering the world’s climate for eons. The asteroid thought to have wiped out the dinosaurs 65 million years ago was an estimated 6 miles across, so this one would be kind of it for us. Phew.

Entertainment Weekly Lists Best and Worst Nudity of 2012 [PICS]

You’ve seen Mr. Skin’s Top Ten Nude Scenes of 2012 , now EW.com has come out with its own rundown of the best and worst nudity of the year here . On the best side are such overlapping favorites as Olivia Munn in Magic Mike (2012), Helen Hunt in The Sessions (2012), and Kristin Stewart in On the Road (2012). The worst side, however, is a bit more mystifying. Game of Thrones is categorized as worst for: “Every other scene features naked prostitutes in the background making out with each other” . Alison Pill ’s topless tweet also makes the worst list, as well as Gina Gershon in the freaky country-fried flick Killer Joe (2012). While we agree with some of EW’s decisions- since sausage has no place in a skin smorgasbord- complaining about an actress getting naked is downright vexing. Worst Nude Scenes? No Such Thing! Celebrate all the babes who dared to bare this year from Olivia Munn to Gina Gershon , right here at MrSkin.com!

Lauren Cohan 2004 Lingerie Shoot of the Day

I didn’t do the background research on these pics…I am not too into being an investigative journalist, but prefer just posting other people’s contents and writing shit no one reads about them…It is the life of a fucking hack…and the good news is that I am even more pathetic in person… That said, her name is Lauren Cohan, she’s 30 and on The Walking Dead…it has probably taken her a long fucking time to get this legitimate role, and in that quest…she took on some lingerie modeling jobs,..and with the internet…nothing dies…it lives forever…and we can jerk off to her half naked at 22…. Works for me…the only real question mark is who the fuck found this and where did they find it…I keep thinking it was in his catalog collection he keeps in his business…featuring underwear catalogs from the last 30 years…because this is some weird shit to compile…

I see some pylons in the background, they must be there to keep the ugly common folk away from her. Smart idea. There must be a bouncer around her at all times.

Breaking Nudes from SXSW: Melissa Leo Makes Her Full-Frontal Debut in Francine

Before she was an Oscar winner, Melissa Leo was nothing but a teenage streetwalker…or at least she played one in a movie . And even though she’s moved up in the world, Melissa has always retained the skinful spirit of her feature film debut, going nude as recently as 2005’s The Three Burials of Meliquades Estrada . So we were somewhat shocked to learn that Melissa has never done a full-frontal scene in her career…until now! Our Skin Skout reports from South by Southwest that Melissa makes her full-frontal debut in the new movie Francine , also starring Melissa Leo as a fragile woman struggling to re-enter society after being released from prison. A mere two minutes into the film, we see Melissa in the prison shower the day of her release; first we see some side butt in the background, then faraway frontal, then as the camera moves forward ” the background soon turns to the foreground as we get a nice full look at Leo’s breasts and bush. ” Speaking of early release… Bone up on the skin resume of Oscar winner Melissa Leo right here at MrSkin.com!
