OPEN POST: Here's Charlie Hunnam as Ed Gein

Image
  Because Ryan Murphy can't stop sexualizing notorious murder cases, he's producing a new season of his Monster series starring Charlie Hunnam as the notorious necrophile  sexpot Ed Gein. He's looking awfully Rockwellish here but I am sure this season will be just as gruesome as its predecessors, which focused on Dahmer and then the Menendez brothers. Will you be tuning in to the latest season when it airs, Peckers? Source: Backgrid

PECKERWOOD FILM VIEW: Is "The Deliverance" Hag Horror? Or Does A Movie's Genre Label Really Matter?

Image
While watching Lee Daniels' new movie, "The Deliverance," I was struck by the three lead actresses, Glenn Close, Andra Day and Demi Singleton, by how believable they were as a troubled, but close-knit, family. In one key scene, Close, the matriarch, tends to her adult daughter's hair, played by Day, and in turn, Day tends to her pre-teen daughter's hair, played by Singleton, while they all half-watch "Valley of the Dolls" on TV and chat about their day. It's a brief, near-throwaway scene, but it felt so real, so casually lived-in, that it almost seemed documentary-like - but much fuller, juicier, as much of this movie is before the horror kicks in.  This one haircare scene, I think, exemplifies why "The Deliverance" works so well, even with its minor missteps. The actresses, especially Close and Day, give masterful, but not showy, performances; they're relaxed in their characters' skin in a way few actors are. Likewise, Daniels'...

WHO'S THIS WEEK'S THIRSTIEST HOR? Is It Pete Davidson? Or Gus Kenworthy? Or Facial Fitness Gum?

Welcome, fellow trollops, to the latest edition of "Who's This Week's Thirstiest Ho?" Today's trio are drier than Chrissy Teigen's fashionable "underwear dress" at the Olympics Opening Ceremony, so they need all the moisture they can get. First up, the Internet's favorite critter-infested pass-around-peen. I'm referring, of course, to Pete Davidson , who's been linked to countless Hollywood camel toes thirsting for publicity, or so it seems, because unless Pete's diseased tube steak is irresistible, than I, for one, do not get what's going on here - and probably don't want to know for my own mental health. Pete is the Fred Durst  of comedians, the Jaden Smith of actors, and, yes, the ass from which the worm escaped and nibbled on Robert F. Kennedy, Jr's  brain matter. Given his girlfriend track record - which includes the alleged model,  Emily Ratajkowski ; nepo-nothing throw cushion,  Kaia Gerber ; doughnut enemy,  Arian...

Ryan Murphy Threatened To Sue A Striking WGA Member!

Image
Ryan Murphy, seen above contemplating how many shows he can ruin after the first episode - "Great premise! Now drive it off a cliff!" he orders his writers - was getting ugly with the WGA right before the actors strike. Or more specifically, with WGA member and former strike captain, Warren Leight. Why? Because Warren, as reported to the Hollywood Reporter , tweeted that crew members for "American Horror Story" told him they'd be "blackballed in Murphy-land" if they didn't cross the picket line.   No, getting blackballed in Murphy-land by the likes of Lady Gaga is not the latest horror being offered up - or rather, perpetrated - by the uber-producer. And frankly, I believe Warren (don't sue, Ryan!) (this is a parody site!) (ah hahahahaha!). Ryan is known to be a nasty piece of work, who, with the exception of Jessica Lange, has offered up - or, rather, perpetrated - a veritable smorgasbord of questionable talent.  AnywayletsleaveJessicaoutofthi...
