Pirates of the Caribbean 2: Davey Jones' Ship
Check out these photos of Davey Jones' bad-ass ship from Pirates of the Caribbean 2. It's your classic pirate ghost ship. It's got this big mouth and it's covered in all these bodies. Kind of like your mom! That's right, I went there.
See close-ups after the jump. You're going to want to see the detail in this woodworking. Immaculate.

Full Spider-Man 3 Plot Revealed?
With no explanation as to its origin, the website Dark Horizons has posted a fairly comprehensive plot outline for Spider-Man 3. While a lot of the information given was already known or assumed, many of the details I think have been unconfirmed or missing altogether until now, such as the presence and origins of certain villains, their roles, and the timeline of events. So if you don't mind hearing some possible spoilers, go ahead and read the summary here.
It's not that I don't believe this is the plot, I'd just like a little more proof before I buy into it. It's like if a woman insists that you're her "baby's daddy," you'd want Maury Povich to show you a paternity test first, right? Fine, so maybe it turns out you are the father. So what? You just wanted a little proof. So you can stop calling me, alright, Debbie? I'll give you your fucking money.
First Shots from Marilyn Manson's Phantasmagoria
The first shots from Marilyn Manson's Louis Carroll story, Phantasmagoria, have arrived, giving some glimpses of the creepy style of the picture. The shots are intentionally pretty vague and often out-of-focus, but this revealing shot of Alice looks like kiddy porn. So for now, I'll give it an "A-".
More after the jump.

Marie-Antoinette Looks Beautiful
Sophia Coppola's Marie-Antoinette, her take on the life of the young queen, looks so gorgeous, dense, and well-composed in this shot, it makes me wonder if this isn't just a painting. It also makes me wonder about that Internet video where the guy lets the horse have sex with him, which is why I stopped looking at this image.
NOTE: To think it's an old painting, you have to ignore the balding man in the hoody to the left.
John Travolta's Nephew to Play Thor?
In more superhero casting news, Rikki Lee Travolta, nephew of John Travolta, is rumored to have been cast in the title role of the Marvel Comics adaptation of Thor:
The Broadway, New York star, who was among those considered to play JAMES BOND after producers decided to dump PIERCE BROSNAN, has been a favourite to play the Nordic hero for some time - and now it appears he will star in the project.
I honestly thought we'd reached the point where wig technologies would allow us to base casting on something other than having the appropriate hair length. If this rumor is true, this man was clearly chosen entirely for his being a long-haired douche bag. I'll have to keep my eyes peeled to Rikki Lee's official site, Travoltanet, to find out of there's an official statement, as well as to boost my own self-confidence.
As bad as this casting might be, let's try to put aside our own feelings to recognize some who may be taking it even worse. Such as the little girl from Adventures in Babysitting.
Poseidon ShoWest Reel
For those that couldnt make the ShoWest convention, the ShoWest reel, featuring new scenes from Poseidon, is now available online. The footage shows a lot of drowning, falling, and Kurt Russell, so if you have fears of any of the three, I'd recommend averting your eyes. For that matter, I'm going to add that you also shouldn't watch if you have a fear of Patrick Swayze. He's not in this, but he had the same haircut as Kurt Russell for a long time, so you might confuse the two, like I do.
