Alright, Ashanti! Same rules as Cocoa.

I'm gonna give you nine men and nine scenarios. You have to pair a man with a scenario, but you have to guess what pairings I chose. It's an all or nothing gamble. Some of these men you like, some I like, but overall...just channel your inner me.

The Scenarios

Okay, so...you've got this ex, right? He's always been a little...possessive, and a little obsessed with you. Your new boyfriend claims he can handle the other guy, but you aren't sure how true that is. Your ex has a crazy streak. Who's this ex?

It's a heatwave and your air conditioner is broken. Your maintenance man informed you that several other complexes that he oversees are having the same issue and he won't be able to get to you for at least a few hours. Luckily, your neighbor next door as a nice, cool apartment and a soft couch he's willing to let you crash on until your problem is solved.

Your job has you taking the lead to try and "sell" your proposition to your next client. Upon meeting the man, it was clear that he was attracted to you, but you wanted nothing to do with him. Unfortunately for you, he's very persistent and you still haven't closed the deal. Do you use your wiles to secure the bag? And oh yeah—who's the guy?

There's this guy in your class at university who you can stand. He just...doesn't know how to shut the hell up. It would be less annoying if this wasn't an eight a.m. lecture over the subject you hated the most. And it didn't help that your professor seemed to love the guy. All matters were made worse when you were paired up for the semester group project.

Happy Valentine's Day! You're filming today, so you don't have a hot date. But you also just so happen to be filming a love scene with your costar. Who's the lucky guy?

New year, new you! Fresh off a breakup, you decided to get back into the gym. Sure, you were making sure not to lose complete control when you were with your ex. But damn, did you want to feel better after the shit he put you through. You even took the steps to get a personal trainer. A fine ass personal trainer, at that...

Your best friend is getting married and she wants you to be one of her bridesmaids! During one of the meetings with the wedding party, you met your friend's fiancé's friends—one of who(m) was the man you'd be walking down the aisle with. He's being a little flirty with you, which threw you off. Didn't you hear him talking about bringing a date earlier?

We're on our fitness kick today. You decided to take a yoga class :) it was supposed to be a class for all women (that's what the page implied when you signed up). But there were a couple of men here and there. One of them even snagged a spot by you. You couldn't help but continue peering at him from time to time. He looked a little sad and pathetic...a small part of you was curious, but you always knew you should mind your business. He, however, noticed you sneaking peeks at him and decided to strike up a conversation.

Happy birthday! Your beau decides to take you to an amusement park. The parks are typically not his thing, as he hates large crowds, but he'd do anything just to see a smile on your face. And hey...maybe you two could have a horror movie marathon after. That always brought you two together.

The Men

Trevante Rhodes

Yahya Abdul-Mateen ii

Peter Parker (PS4)

Oscar Isaac

Ghostface

Tom Riddle (I think this is that man dhsjsj. I just remember you talking about him. When I looked it up it was him and the dude without the nose)

ps4 peter (my loser beloved) but this also works for tom riddle, pretentious as all hell teacher’s pet

Happy Valentine's Day! You're filming today, so you don't have a hot date. But you also just so happen to be filming a love scene with your costar. Who's the lucky guy?

Character Ideas

(Sorry this has taken me forever. Right when I was almost done with the post, I saved it as draft and Tumblr just ate it so it’s taken me forever to fix it again.)

Prince Charming:

Actor choices: Simu Liu or Adam Brody

(Think both are great options and either would pair well with either choice for Cinderella. My personal pick for Cinderella is Ana de Armas. Florence is a good option too but for some reason I think Ana would be great. Also, I wasn’t sure how old you might want Adam to be but I suppose he can be any age we might need).

(Okay, fair warning, adding someone else to the cast because the moment you suggested Jennifer Morrison for Elsa I had an epiphany.)

Jack Frost

Actor Choice: Chris Pine

(I really did try to think of someone else for the role but he just seems so perfect. He was the voice of Jack Frost in Rise of the Guardians plus they are around the same age. AND I’ve always loved that ship so finally bringing it to life this way seems like so much fun.)

The Hunstman

Actor Choices: Tom Hardy or Ben McKenzie

( I had a ton of text written here before tumblr ate my original post but basically I think either of these two would work great with Rachel as Red Riding Hood )

Robin Hood

Actor Choices: Robert Pattinson or Ben McKenzie

( I think both options would be great for the role but I personally think Rob would be great if we choose Zendaya to be Maid Marian).

Prince Phillip

Actor Choices: Andrew Garfield or Cameron Monaghan

( I love the idea of Taylor as Aurora and I think either of these guys would look great with her).

Prince Florian

Actor Choice Timothee Chalamet or Cameron Monaghan

(Now, I wasn’t sure if you had preference for which story you might want Timmy to be apart of or if you wanted him alongside any characters but I think either of these choices would be good with Camila Mendes as Snow.)

(I’ve actually got something a little different in mind for my character and stuff but I’ll save that for the end)

The Beast

Actor Choices: Oscar Isaac or Tom Hardy

(Think either of these choices would be good with Nina as Bell)

Milo

Actor Choice: Timmy or Adam

( Love the idea of Zendeya as Kida too and I think Timmy or Adam would work for this )

The Mad Hatter

Actor Choices: Our boy Timmy again or Andrew:

( I personally think Timmy would be the best choice but Andrew could pull it off too.)

The Scarecrow

Actor Choices: Timmy or Adam (not gonna add gifs this time because I think that’s like the third time I’ve suggested them xD But I think either of those would be great with Saoirse as Dorthy )

(Because there two female roles left I think using them both for King Arthur would work. I’d pick Mischa Barton for Guinevere and I think Florence would actually make a fantastic Morgana and here’s some ideas for the male roles:)

King Arthur

Actor Choices: Ben and Rob

(Think both of them could pull it off. That’s the main roles but if we have any actors left over they can probably fill the other roles from this world).

(Now, finally, there is a reason I left out Peter Pan and that’s because I think my love interest sort of suits the role of Peter. Plus, I’ve sort of got a good idea of how it could work. I had a very detailed idea written out but Tumblr ate the post. Basically, I’d want it to sort of be like the film Hook with the adult Peter Pan and all that. Only in our version he won’t have a wife and kids and he’s going to fall for Tinkerbell (me) who he has a very long and shared history with. I can totally get more detailed about it in another post but for now that’s the rough idea. Of course, if you were attached to the idea of Saoirse as Wendy, I can pick another story for me and Gojo).

need context on that men who look like dads from my school pinterest board asap

I KNEW IT PEOPLE WOULD GET CURIOUS AT SOME POINT

anyway as a student who waves at everyone and initiates small talk due to leader requirements no matter how i hate it, i also notice dads or even staff who seem familiar, only to realize i've seen the same faces in media or these people i know resemble some features. one tricycle driver looks like oscar isaac, or a technical staff looks like tom hardy, a student assistant looks like danny pudi, a previous teacher who looks like paul dano etc etc

i am also up for platonic/family relationships too! also very interested in 2x2 or 3x3 plots to allow for relationship development outside of just ships.

putting this under the cut because it got way too long :)

classic hateship. we hate each other for some reason or another but oops there’s also MASSIVE sexual tension and we can’t keep our hands off of each other. bonus points if they are both 'heartless’ but they are learning to trust each other with their hearts.

workplace angst. i have been watching too much greys tbh, but i love the dynamics of people who have demanding jobs and work a lot and the job and their coworkers are basically like all they really have going on. would be cool as a mumu, but fine as a solo plot too

angst avenue. something super angsty like this because i am a masochist. honestly anything super heartwrenching i’m probably all about.

ghosts. idk just haunting, maybe someone falls in love with a ghost. love a spooky romance. or like ghost hunters? i’ve been wanting to try out some more horror-esque stuff.

secret relationships. who doesn’t love a secret relationship? maybe you are my best friend’s ex that he’s still hung up on but we are really good together.

ASSASSINS. we love a good assassins plot. and they don’t kill each other because, well, they are in love. maybe they used to work on the same side and one of them defected?? ugh idk just give me some badasses with drama and lots of love.

post-apocalyptic. this has been on my wanted list for a while but ya know the basic there are zombies taking over the world stuff.

slice of life anything really. something that just explores dynamic relationships ya know.

The Weekend Warrior 10/1/21: VENOM: LET THERE BE CARNAGE, THE ADDAMS FAMILY II, THE MANY SAINTS OF NEWARK, TITANE, MAYDAY, THE JESUS MUSIC

Yeah, so I haven’t had the time over the past couple weeks to write a column, and I kind of hate that fact, especially since I’m coming up on a pretty major milestone for me writing a weekly box office column and reviewing movies. In fact, that milestone comes next week! And once again, I’m struggling to get through the movies I was hoping to watch and write about this week, because I’ve been out of town and once again, very busy over the weekend. Let’s see how far I get...

Before we get to this week’s wide releases, I’m excited to say that my local arthouse movie theater, The Metrograph, is finally reopening for in-person screenings, and they’re kicking things off with a 4k restoration of Andrez Zulawski’s 1981 thriller, Possession, starring Sam Neill and Isabell Adjani, who won a Best Actress prize at Cannes for her performance in the film. I actually saw this at the Metrograph a few years back, and Metrograph Pictures, the distribution arm of the company is now distributing the 4k restoration. There’s a lot of exciting things ahead at Metrograph, including an upcoming four-film Clint Eastwood retrospective, including White Hunter, Black Heart (1990) and A Perfect World (1991) this Friday. Also, Lingua Franca director Isabel Sandoval will be showing her fantastic film from 2020 (a rare chance to see it in a theater and I’ll be there!) as well as program a number of other favorites of hers. Sunday will have screenings of Ingmar Berman’s Scenes from a Marriage (1973) in its full four plus hour glory, Steven Spielberg’s Jurassic Park (1993) and John Carpenter’s In the Mouth of Madness (1994).. In other words, the Metrograph is back!

Moving over to the weekend’s three wide releases, the first one up being Sony’s VENOM: LET THERE BE CARNAGE (Sony Pictures) with Tom Hardy returning as Eddie Brock aka Venom, joined by Woody Harrelson as the psychotic symbiote, Carnage. Taking over the directing reins is Andy Serkis, who has only directed two other movies, Mowgli: Legend of the Jungle and Breathe, but as an actor, he’s been heavily involved with the CG VFX (and performance capture) needed to bring the characters in this Marvel anti-hero movie to life.

Venom has been one of Spider-Man’s most popular villains and sometimes allies for quite a few decades now, starting out life as a cool black costume Spider-Man found on a strange planet during the first “Secret Wars,” which turned out to be an alien symbiote that had malicious intentions. Spider-Man got the costume off of him but it then linked up with Eddie Brock, a sad-sack journalist whose emotions drove the alien symbiote to become the Venom we known and (mostly) love, thanks to one Todd McFarlane. Venom continued to play a large part in the Spider-Man books before getting his own comics, and not before a super-villain was created for him in Cletus Kasady, a vicious serial killer whose infection by the symbiote turns him into Carnage. And that’s who Harrelson is playing.

Being a sequel, we do have some basis to go on, although the original Venom movie, released in early October 2018, also arrived at a time when it was only the second time the character of Venom was brought to the big screen -- the first time being Sam Raimi’s Spider-Man 3, in which the character was received without much love as Ryan Reynold’s Deadpool in X-Men Origins: Wolverine. And yet, Venom did great, opening with $80.2 million and grossing $213 million domestically, which is more than enough to greenlight a sequel. (It made over double that amount overseas, too.) For comparison, the Wolverine prequel opened with $85 million but at the beginning of summer, so it quickly tailed away with other movies coming out after it. Venom: Let There Be Carnage has to worry about the new James Bond opening a week later, so it very likely could be a one-and-done, opening decently but quickly dropping down as other big movies are released in October (basically one a week).

I’ve already seen the movie, and by the time you read this, reviews will already be up --including my own at Below the Line. Social media reactions seem to not be so bad though, so maybe it’ll get better reviews than its predecessor, which was trashed by critics, receiving only a 30% rating on Rotten Tomatoes. But if you look at the fan ratings, they’re higher with 81%, although it’s hard not to be

I’m thinking that bearing COVID in mind and the law of depreciation since the previous movie, Venom: Let There Be Carnage will probably be good for around $50 million this weekend, maybe a little more, but however it’s received, I expect it to drop significantly next week, though a total domestic gross of $135 to 140 million seems reasonable.

Another strong sequel to kick off October is the animated THE ADDAMS FAMILY II (MGM), which is following up the 2019 hit for MGM/UA Releasing with most of the voice cast returning, including Oscar Isaac, Charlize Theron, Chloe Grace Moretz, and Finn Wolfhard, as well as Nick Kroll, Snoop Dogg, Martin Short, Catherine O’Hara, and Bette Midler voicing the popular characters from the New Yorker cartoons, a popular ‘60s TV series, and two Barry Sonnenfeld movies from the ‘90s.

The 2019 animated film was a pretty solid hit for the newly-launched UA Releasing, grossing $100 million domestic after a $30.3 million opening, making it one of MGM’s biggest hits since it was restructured under UA and became its own distributor again. Who knows what’s going to happen with Amazon’s plans on buying MGM and whether the latter will remain a distribution wing, but MGM still has a number of movies out this year that likely will be awards contenders. But that doesn’t mean much for The Addams Family II, which will try to get some of those people who paid to see the original movie in theaters back to see the sequel… and if they’re not going to theaters, MGM is once again offering the movie day-and-date on VOD much like they did with last year’s Bill and Ted Face the Music, which opened much earlier in the pandemic (late august, 2020), so it far fewer options to see it in theaters compared to this animated sequel.

It’s highly doubtful that The Addams Family II was going to open anywhere near to $30 million even if there wasn’t a pandemic, and it wasn’t on VOD just because MGM just doesn’t seem to be marketing the movie as well as its predecessor. You can blame COVID if you want, but it’s also the fact they’re distributing the company’s first James Bond movie in six years, No Time To Die, on their own vs. through another distributor, ala the last few Daniel Craig Bonds. But we’ll talk more about that next week, since that’s going to be an important movie to help cover MGM’s expenses for the rest of 2021. (I haven’t had a chance to see this yet, but it’s embargoed until Friday, so wouldn’t be able to get a review into the column regardless.)

We’ve seen quite a few family hits over the past few months even when the movies were already on streaming/VOD, but parents are probably being a bit more careful with kids back in school, many younger kids still not vaccinated, and the Delta variant still not quite under control. Because of those factors, I think The Addams Family II is more likely to do somewhere between $15 and 18 million its opening weekend, maybe more on the lower side.

Third up is THE MANY SAINTS OF NEWARK (New Line/WB), David Chase’s prequel to his hit HBO series, The Sopranos, which went off the air in 2004 but still finds fans on the new HBO Max streamer. Ironically, this prequel will air on the streamer at the same time as it's getting a theatrical release, which probably won't be a very tough choice for fans.

Chase has reunited with director Alan Taylor, who won a Primetime Emmy for his work on the show in 2007 before moving onto other popular shows like HBO's Game of Thrones. Taylor has had a bit of a rough career in film, though, having directed Marvel Studios’ sequel, Thor: The Dark World, a movie that wasn't received very well although there were rumors that Taylor butted heads with the producers and maybe didn't even finish the movie. He went on to direct Terminator Genesys, which honestly, I can't remember if it was the worst Terminator movie, but it was pretty bad.

What's interesting is that because this is a prequel set in the '70s and '80s, none of the actors from the show appear on it, but it does star Alessandro Nivola, a great actor in one of his meatiest roles for a studio movie. It also introduces Michael Gandolfini, son of the late James Gandolfini (who played Tony Soprano, if you didn't know), playing the teenage Tony, plus it has great roles for the likes of Jon Bernthal (as Tony's father), Vera Farmiga (playing Tony's mother), Corey Stoll (playing the younger "Junior” Soprano), and Lesile Odom Jr, as the Sopranos key adversary, even though he ends up coming across like the good guy of the movie. It also stars Billy Magnussen, who oddly, also has a key role in next week's No Time to Die.

I'm sure there's quite a bit of interest in seeing where Tony came from and to learn more about his family, many who were dead long before the events of the HBO show, but will that be enough to get them into theaters when they already have HBO? I already reviewed the movie for Below the Line, and reviews are generally positive, which might get people more interested in this prequel.

As with most of Warner Bros’ movies this year, Many Saints will also debut on HBO Max and unlike some of the studio’s other 2021 offerings, it will actually make more sense to watch this one on the streamer since that’s how most people watched The Sopranos. That seems like a killer for Many Saints, and it’s likely to keep it opening under $10 million, where it might have done better on a different weekend (like sometime over the last two weeks).

This is what I have this weekend’s top 10 looking like:

1. Venom: Let There Be Carnage (Sony) - $50.4 million N/A

2. The Addams Family II (MGM/UA Releasing) - $16.5 million N/A

3. The Many Saints of Newark (New Line/WB) - $9 million N/A

4. Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings (Marvel/Disney) - $7.5 million -44%

5. Dear Evan Hansen (Universal) - $4.1 million -45%

6. Free Guy (20th Century/Disney) - $3.3 million -30%

7. Jungle Cruise (Disney) - $1.1 million -35%

8. Candyman (Universal) - $1.3 million -48%

9. Cry Macho (Warner Bros.) - $1 million -52%

10. Malignant (Warner Bros.) - .7 million -53%

Opening in select cities is French filmmaker Julia (Raw) Ducournau’s TITANE (Neon), the genre thriller that won this year’s coveted Palme D’Or at the Cannes Film Festival. It stars Agathe Rouselle as a young woman who has an interesting relationship with automobiles, but she also has psychotic tendencies that leaves a trail of bodies behind her. On the run, she decides to pretend she’s the missing son of a fireman (Vincent Lindon), who has been missing for 10 years, and things just get weirder from there.

I honestly wasen’t sure what to expect from this although I do remember walking out of Ducournau’s cannibal movie, Raw, just because it was so gross, even though so many of my colleagues and friends swear by the movie, and this one, for that matter. Sure, there’s a certain “prove it” factor to me watching a movie that wins the Palme D’Or, because it’s very rare that I like the movies that do win that benchmark cinema award.

After a flashback to Agathe’s character Alexia when she was an obstinate young girl kicking the back seat of her father as he’s driving. They crash and she’s forced to get surgery that puts an odd looking piece of metal in her head. Decades later, she seems to be a pseudo-stripper at weird punk rock car show -- I guess they do those things different in France -- and hooking up with a fellow “model” afterwards. Agathe is actually a very popular model/dancer but when one fan gets too grabby, she pulls a knitting needle out of her hair and stabs it through his ear, killing him. Oh, yeah, she then has sex with a car and seemingly gets pregnant, but that only happens later. First, she goes on a bit of a killing spree and then goes on a run and decides that by strapping up her breasts and breaking her nose, she can pass off this fire captain’s son… and it works!

So the second half deals with acting great Vincent Lindon’s absolutely bonkers steroid-addicted man who seems to be sexually attracted to his own son, and most of his fellow firefighters knows that he’s gay but in the closet, but I’m honestly not sure what that matters. He’s a pretty disgusting character whose 70-year-old ass we see way too much of, and even those who might find Rouselle to be quite fetching, there’s a certain point where her nudity is not alluring but quite horrifying.

Oh, and at this time, Alexia (or Adrien, as she’s now going) has also gotten significantly pregnant, but it’s not a normal pregnancy because what should be milk from her breasts seems to some sort of motor oil. That’s because she FUCKED A CAR earlier in the movie!!! What do you expect when you fuck a car and don’t use protection, girlie? The fact Alexia/Adrien is trying to hide the fact she’s a pregnant woman from a station full of men isn’t even particularly disturbing. The part that really got me was when she broke her own nose to pass off as this guy’s son -- I actually had to look away for that part.

Listen I’m no prude, and I think I can handle most things in terms of horror and gore, but Titane just annoyed me, because it felt like Ms Ducournau was doing a lot of what we see more for shock value than to actually drive the story forward. There just doesn’t seem to be much point to any of it, and once the movie gets to the firehouse, and we see her interaction (as a young man) with her “father” and his colleagues, it just gets more grueling.

It’s as if Ducournau had watched a lot of movies by the likes of Cronenberg or David Lynch, or more likely Nicolas Refn or Lars von Trier, and thought, “I could be just as strange and horrific as those men… let’s see what people think of this.” And way too many people fell for it, including the Cannes jury. While I normally would approve of any good body horror movie, especially one with cinematography, score and musical selections as good as this one, I doubt I’d ever want to watch this movie again. And therefore, I don’t think I can recommend this movie to anyone either, at least no one I want to remain my friend.

As far as the movie’s box office, NEON is opening the movie in 562 theaters to build on buzz from various film festivals, including the New York Film Festival earlier this week. I think it should be good for half a million this weekend, although maybe it'll surprise me like NEON's release of Parasite a few years back. I just don't see this getting into the top 10 but maybe just outside it.

And then we have a few more movies that I got screeners for but just couldn’t find the time to watch, but might do so once I finish this verdammt column.

The faith-based doc THE JESUS MUSIC (Lionsgate) by the Erwin Brothers (I Can Only Imagine, I Still Believe) takes a look at the rise of Christian Contemporary Music through artists like Amy Grant and Stryper and everything in between, featuring lots of interviews of the artists’ trials and triumphs. Even though there isn’t much CCM I ever listen to, I’m still kind of curious about this one, since I generally like music docs and this is guaranteed not to be the sex, drugs and rock ‘n’ roll of most of them. I have no idea how wide Lionsgate intends to release this but it certainly can be fairly wide, because the Erwins have delivered at least one giant hit for Lionsgate, and I Still Believe may have been another one if not for the pandemic. It actually opened on March 13, just days before movie theaters shut down across the country, so it's little surprise it only made $7 million domestic. That said, the acts in this one have a lot of fans, and if Lionsgate does release The Jesus Music into 1,000 theaters or so (which is very doable), then I would expect it would make between $1 and 2 million, which would be enough to break into the Top 10.

I haven't seen any of the movies based on Anna Todd's YA romance novels but the third of them, AFTER WE FELL, will play in about 1,311 theaters on Thursday i.e. tonight through Fathom Events, and may or may not continue through the weekend. These movies just kind of show up, and again, having not seen any of them, I'm not sure what kind of audience they have, but this one stars Josephine Langford and Hero Fiennes, as well as Stephen Moyer, Mira Sorvino and Arielle Kebbel with Castille Landon directing.

Grace Van Patten (Under the Silver Lake) stars in Karen Cinorre’s action-fantasy film MAYDAY (Magnolia), playing Ana, a young woman who is transported to a “dreamlike and dangerous” coastline where she joins a female army in a never-ending war where women lure men to their deaths. It also stars Mia Goth, Havana Rose Liu, Soko, Théodore Pellerin and Juliette Lewis. It will be in theaters and On Demand this Friday.

The great Tim Blake Nelson stars in Potsy Ponciroli’s action-Western OLD HENRY (Shout! Studios/Hideout) about a widowed farmer and son who take in an injured man with a satchel full of cash only to have to fend off a posse who come after the man, claiming to be the law. Not sure who to trust, the farmer has to use his gun skills to defend his home and the stranger.

The romantic-comedy FALLING FOR FIGARO (IFC Films) is the new movie from Australian filmmaker Ben Lewin (The Sessions), who I’ve interviewed a few times, and he’s a really nice chap. This one stars Danielle Macdonald, Hugh Skinner, and Joanna Lumley, and it will be in theaters and On Demand this Friday. This rom-com is set in the world of opera singing competitions with Macdonald playing Millie, a brilliant young fund manager who decides to chase her dream of being an opera singer in the Scottish Highlands. She begins vocal training lessons with a former opera diva, played by Lumley, where she meets Max, a young man also training for that competition. Could love blossom? This actually sounds like my kind of movie, so I’ll definitely try to watch soon.

The second season of “Welcome to Blumhouse” the horror movie anthology kicks off on Amazon Prime Video on Friday with the first two movies, Maritte Lee Go’s Black as Night (which I’ve seen) and Gigi Saul Guerrero’s Bingo Night (which I haven’t), and actually I’ll have an interview with Ms. Go over at Below the Line possibly later this week. The former stars Ashja Cooper as a teen girl living in Louisiana who has a bad experience with homeless vampires, along with her best friend (Fabrizio Guido).

Also, Antoine Fuqua and Jake Gyllenhaal’s remake of the Danish film THE GUILTY will begin streaming on Netflix starting Friday after premiering at TIFF a few weeks back. I never got around to reviewing it, but it’s pretty good, maybe a little better than the original movie but essentially the same. I’d definitely recommend it if you like Jake, because he’s definitely terrific in it.

Also hitting Netflix this week is Juana Macias' SOUNDS LIKE LOVE (Netflix), a Spanish language romance movie that (guess) I haven't seen!

A few other movies I didn’t get to this week, include:

STOP AND GO (Decal) VAL (Dread) BLUSH (UA Releasing) RUNT (1091 Pictures)

Next week, it’s not time for James Bond, it’s time for James Bond to die… no, wait… there is NO TIME TO DIE! Also, a very, very special anniversary for the Weekend Warrior….

Fallout New Vegas Fancast

You guys liked my Fallout 4 fancast so here’s one for New Vegas.

Keanu Reeves as Courier Six

Oscar Isaac as Arcade Gannon

I can’t see him as anyone else after seeing @undeadcourier‘s art.

Cameron Esposito as Veronica Santangelo

Danny Trejo as Raul Tejada

Fallout New Vegas has a surprising amount of actors who are known for more than just voice acting, so I tried not to just recast voice actors in the same roles, but Danny Trejo was just too good. Edward James Olmos is a close second.

Betty White as Lily Bowen

Tom Hardy as Craig Boone

He’s too old for Boone, and Tom Hardy’s height of 5′9″ is taller than Boone’s manlet energy would suggest, but he’s the best I got.

Lucy Liu as Rose of Sharon Cassidy

Owen Wilson as Victor

Adam Beach as Benny Gecko

John Mulaney as Yes Man

Anthony Hopkins as Caesar

Adam Sandler as Vulpes Inculta

I didn’t even have to make a comparison shot because this image already exists.

Jeff Bridges as Chief Hanlon

James Marsden as the King

Dominic Cooper as Mr. House

After all, if someone has already played a Howard-Hughes-inspired capitalist, why not just have them do it again?

Sam Elliott as Doc Mitchell

I’m probably gonna do a separate one for the DLC characters, so stay tuned!

Hey Famers!

For the anniversary trip, all celebs will be staying at Hôtel Le K2 Altitude luxury hotel! Amenities include: ski passes, gym, heated indoor/outdoor pools, spa, movie theater, multiple bars/lounges, babysitting/childcare, playground for kids, arcade room, and free food/drinks at all hours of the day/night. Suites are available with multiple beds for non couples and a couples room is available for those rooming with their significant other.

Under the cut you’ll find the list of all the roommates.

The roommates were done by a RANDOM generator. Unless we got a message from you telling us you wanted to be with a specific person - you were included in the generator.

As we get more people into the roleplay, we will update the list. If you do not see your characters name on this list, or if you happen to get paired with one of the other characters you play - please message us POLITELY and let us know - the generator was a little weird, but hopefully everyone is accounted for - if not, we’ll fix it, don’t worry :)

As stated before, as we accept new apps before AND during the event, this list will be updated. Same will go if people get unfollowed, leave the RP etc. So please be mindful that this can and most likely will change.
