Tideland Photos: Including Corpses!
If you didn't already want to see Terry Gilliam's Tideland, you're going to after you see these images. What is it that makes us always want to see any movie with a rotting corpse with amber eyes and its mouth stitched shut? Probably the same thing that makes us want to masturbate to department store mannequins instead of forming any meaningful relationships. It's just one of those quirks that makes us human.
See more here, compliments of Russia. They've won this battle, but we won the Cold War, and the blue jeans war.

Hott Fuzz Video Blog #2
The continuing video blog, following the making of the new Simon Pegg/Edgar Wright action/comedy Hot Fuzz, has added its second chapter, in which Wright discusses the film a bit. There's nothing too amazing--it's mostly an introduction to the film, with some bits on the difficulties of directing--but since it's the makers of the Shaun of the Dead, I felt it needed to be promoted. Until they show me otherwise, I'll assume the quality of, and promote anything they make. If they make a house, I'm their real estate agent. If they make a car, I'll do the crash tests, set-up a dealership, and send you home in one with rust protection. If they make a child, I'll sneak into their home in the dead of night, cover the child's mouth with a chemical-covered rag, get that kid on a plane, and deliver him or her (they'd prefer a girl) to a waiting family in New England. It's just my way.
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.
