(416) Try not to stare + links

(dropping this one early because I'm going to see Doctor Sleep tomorrow)

John Legend is People's Sexiest Man Alive. Are they even aware Jason Momoa walks this Earth?!

On the plus side, Bill made the shortlist!

Also stan twitter has spoken and that is final!

Everyone watch out, Ricky Gervais is coming back to host Golden Globes. Since he says this is his last time hopefully he won't hold back. I so want him to go off at Scorsese and Tarantino for the way they react to comments about women in their work. Gervais is also shitty so he probably doesn't care, but it doesn't matter, I just want them embarrassed on live TV. And I hope he goes after Johansson for still supporting Allen. This hag doesn't belong among civilized people.

Chadwick with his take on Scorsese's comments.

Chris Evans' dog continues to be the best.

The line up for Variety Actors on Actors was revealed. Pattinson and Lopez is intriguing. They seem to be getting along!

Stranger Things is gunning for nominations and we got some epic pictures from the screenings that were held this week (1,2,3)

I watched Dune 1984 to familiarize myself with the story. Oh Jesus. That movie was insane. I have no idea how Villeneuve will try to pull it off, the world building is very complex. Part 1 may be all right but Part 2, if they even get a chance to make it which depends on how much money Part 1 makes, is gonna have major issues since most of the interesting characters die in Part 1. It basically would be Chalamet being like Neo on a desert and making out with Zendaya.

That said, the film has potential for Oscar Isaac to serve major looks. His counterpart in 1984 movie wore this super tight black wetsuit/armor/whatever the fuck this was/ and if they go with it in this one too I will legit faint because Oscar would look so goddamn good wearing it, plus as we know from set pics he is sporting his silver fox look and a beard. He plays a powerful duke whose lover is gonna be played by Rebecca Ferguson. Come on Denis, throw a sex scene our way, after all you need all the exciting stuff you can get to put in the trailer.

I just know WB is gonna put so many shots of cool sci-fi stuff, action and shirtless Momoa to try to sell it. I guess it has a potential for big opening weekend because it will definitely look unique and cool. But then the drop in second week will probably be brutal because the story is actually quite simple but the world building is very extensive and I doubt if they can make it easy to understand for the audience.

I also watched Official Secrets starring Keira Knightley, a film that was released this year which went unnoticed and it's a shame because it is a good movie. The cast also includes Matt Smith, who somehow appears to be so creepy even though he plays a good guy in it, Ralph Fiennes, Matthew Goode, Rhys Ifans and Conleth Hill and Indira Varma from Game of Thrones. If you like stories based on real events you should check this one out!

Then, since I mentioned Knightley's lovely performance in The Imitation Game in my review of it, I rewatched it and I really don't understand the whining about this movie being safe, by the numbers biopic. So what? It's a very well done and engaging movie. Knightley's monologue near the end of the movie always makes me cry.

Then I watched Joker which was somehow even worse than I expected. What the fuck? I hope ardent fans of that movie will do what he did. And stay there.

After witnessing that putrid garbage I just had to cleanse my soul and mind and witness an amazing performance by an actor playing the Joker so I rewatched The Dark Knight. I think Ledger's Oscar actually elevated the value of this award. No one could argue it was undeserved. If Phoenix wins for his "what if Simple Jack was miserable?" performance it will make Oscars an even bigger joke. Also it will be the third undeserved Oscar in that category in a row. Casey Affleck is a pervert but at least that performance was good.

Then I was like, oh Netflix has The Dark Knight Rises, so I rewatched that one too.

Episode 4 of See was terrific. The whole sequence with the passage through the river was so suspenseful. That ending was great and it really reminded me of Fury Road.

Jason is making new garbage for Netflix and I cannot wait to watch it.

Jason was on Kelly Clarkson's show this week and so many great things happened but him meeting her kids was just beyond adorable!

InStyle really came through with Bill content this week. Article! Photoshoot (1,2)! The video from the photoshoot!

So Bill is a fan of What we Do in the Shadows TV series and John Wick films.

It's an outrage we are not dating.

I watched Noelle and it was so adorable! It's such a cheerful, heartwarming movie and while both Anna and Bill were so cute in it, the CGI baby reindeer called Snowcone totally stole the show.

I also watched Operation Finale and I think Netflix was trying to kill me. First this happened. Then this. And so many close ups.

Oh God.

Hopefully J.J. is talking about showing Poe's bare ass because they better stay in their motherfucking lane and not walk the cursed path of subversion again.

Can we talk about his outfit in TROS.

This is just straight up irresponsible.

Look at Daisy trying not to stare:
