Jessica Lange Is Gonna Get The Screams Going In 'American Horror Stories' for FX

Lange & The Dude

When I was a kid I had the hugest crush on Jessica Lange. She is so F'n hot in King Kong, I totally had my first boners that I can recall to her. Anyway, she always had a special place in my heart (and my groin) as the years past.

Boing.... nerd boner!

Today, my boy Jeff Bond sent me word that she is starring in a new dramatic series opposite the lovely Connie Briton (Friday Night Lights) and Denis O'Hare (Russel on True Blood) for FX. Te series will feature a horror/sci-fi tone, but other then that there ain't much else to know about it right now.

FX has had some great shows (The Shield, Justified and Damages were great, and Rescue Me may be my favorite show of the last 10 years) in the past, and I recently became hooked on Sons of Anarchy (it's on Netflix Instant and is sooooo amazing)... with a track record like that and Lange's beautiful mug, I'll take a gander at this show on general principle. Check back in a couple of month's for more news on this one....

The Tron Lebowski... Finally!

College Humor finally makes a video that mashes up Jeff Bridges' two most well known roles: The Dude from 'The Big Lebowski' & Kevin Flynn from 'Tron'!!!! I love them both, and have featured a cool mashup poster of the two that was made in the past. But this is what I have been waiting for. Thanks again College Humor & Rob over at Topless Robot for being such a 'Tron' geek!

CCD Jacks The Oscars - Year 2: Mike D's Oscar Picks

Another year in film has come and gone and, my, what a year it's been. The Academy Awards air live this Sunday February 27th and a lot of us will be front and center for all the action!

While my addiction to movies (via Netflix Instant or in the theater) is well documented on this blog, it should come as no surprise that I take the Oscars quite seriously. Why you ask? Because I know that they are a 50/50 representation of everything I love about film. They represent 50% of whats right with making films, and 50% of what sucks about the film making industry. Excellent films like 'Winter's Bone' (this year) and 'Frozen River' (2 years ago) would never be known to the public at all if not for the Oscar nods they got. Would 'The King's Speech really have made over $100 million if it wasn't Oscars darling this season? I think not. But it's not all roses. The Oscars also represent the conformity that is required in Hollywood to get the nominations, let alone win an Oscar. Honestly, how can you snub Chris Nolan for 'Best Director', or never nominate a horror film for any awards despite how wildly popular they are (check the numbers... horror makes bank, son). I have seen all 10 of this years 'Best Film' nominees, and frankly the only one I can see myself constantly revisiting would be 'Inception' and 'True Grit'. That's not to say I didn't like the others... I just didn't LOVE them. I saw plenty of other films this year that I did love (um... Scott Pilgrim anyone?), yet they are missing. So it goes.

 Anyways, here are my pics for the 2011 Oscars. CCD jacks the show once again. Hope you enjoy the picks, and the awesome fan art that I took from over at Reelizer. It completes the deal. Enjoy!!!

The Final Tron Poster Is Here... We Abide!!!

I can not believe it has be 25 years between the release of the first Tron and the start of filming on Tron: Legacy.... 28 years all together (by the time its released). But if The Dude abides... well, so do we.

Thanks to Wowt, Buzzfeed, and Jeff Bond... good find guys!!!

"Fucking Quintana... That Creep Can Roll Man..." - The Dude

One of the best scenes from one of the best movies ever... god damn these guys are hilarious. John Turturro is just simple phenomenal. The Dude abides... Plus a great rendition of "Hotel California" by The Gypsy Kings in espanol. The true definition of a perfect scene.
