Viggo Takes a Bath and Harry Hamlin's Hair

Finally. Finally! My Viggo Mortensen interview is up on Huff Po! Take a look HERE. He talks about The Hobbit, how The Road has affected his art...and how he enjoys a hot bath. I swear to you, there was a legitimate reason for asking about that. I will not swear that I didn't enjoy the mental picture that conjured up. And it's a pretty detailed mental picture, since the man has been naked in most of his films.


So, what do you guys think of the teaser trailer for Clash of the Titans? (Check it out HERE if you haven't seen it yet.) I know there has been a lot of talk on Twitter about the cheesiness, and yeah, I agree it was a pretty badly cut trailer with some silly prog rock (and I happen to like prog rock...go ahead and mock...let me take a look at your iPod) but isn't that kind of the point? I love the original in all it's craptastic glory. I mean, Harry Hamlin's hair alone is worth another viewing.


Seriously, look at that! There just aren't enough words to describe...anyway, I'm totally fine with the trailer cheesiness. I'm not expecting Citizen Kane here. Maybe it's just me, but I do not require brilliance from every film or television show I see. I don't always care if the script so good it needs to be bronzed or the 3D makes me feel like I'm right there in the middle of the forest with the blue creatures. Sometimes, I just want to have fun watching a film. I mean, I loved Death Race. No, I'm not kidding. Yeah it was bad, but they drove over power ups and Joan Allen says, "shit on the pavement"! Genius.

Just adding in this photo because the rabbit made me laugh this morning. Happy Thursday!

The lovely and talented Viggo Mortensen, and Scott Wolf might be an alien

On Friday night, I saw a screening of The Road. I never read the book, but I think I might have to now. The embargo is still up, so here is all I can tell you, pre-review. I was really affected by what I saw. I had a very specific opinion about it immediately afterward. And a completely different one the next day. I haven't been able to stop thinking about it. I'm viewing the world a bit differently today. And that's all I'll say for now. I don't want the studio to send out the assassins.

Viggo Mortensen is pretty, even covered in dirt.

Saturday, I got to interview the star of the film, Viggo Mortensen. I have to say, it's always a wonderful thing to find out that someone that good looking is actually a cool guy. I sat in on the round table interviews, and Viggo walked in with a tray of snacks. He also said that he read the script and the book on the same day. I cannot comprehend how he kept from shooting himself i the head...if you know the story, you'll understand. During our one on one (yes, I was alone in a hotel room with Viggo Mortensen)!, he was incredibly forthcoming and very sweet. I am pleased to report, I did not drool on his feet. It will be up on The Huffington Post soon. I promise many pretty pictures.



By the way, he is NOT retiring! See Twitter/Facebook buds? I read all your questions. And you'll have to read the interview to see what he says about The Hobbit.

I also got a chance to interview Scott Wolf this morning. I never watched Party of Five, but I do love the guy. Plus, he did four episodes of Saved by the Bell. He told me that he's not sure his character in V is not an alien! The actors have no idea. Kind of makes me want to watch it more, knowing that there aren't going to be a ton of foreshadowing moments I'm supposed to be taking notes on.



Keeping this short today so I can get those interviews up for you. Plus, I'm back on the Never Sleep Again set today and the elusive Mark Patton is coming in! He's been found! I'm not kidding. We have shirts that say so! I'll post pics, I promise.
