Ahead of America’s Independence Day holiday tomorrow, many people are going to be tapping out early today or just phoning it in completely. I plan to spend my Independence Day as the Founding Fathers intended, watching Channing Tatum’s taut butt in a thong as he dances to Ginuwine’s “Pony” (I think Ben Franklin would be proud). But for those of you wanting some hot man action for the holiday weekend, behold! Two of our favorite dudes have new full-length trailers out right now.
First up – Tom Hardy in Legend. We discussed the teaser trailer a while back, but the full-length trailer was released several days ago, and I thought you would enjoy. Beware… there’s a lot of violence in this trailer, but the bigger issue is that it feels like they’re giving away a lot of the movie. Still… I’ll see this. Imagine if Tom Hardy really had a twin. Sweet lord… and he looks so beautiful here. Ridiculously beautiful.
Next up: my former #1 Crush Michael Fassbender in his Oscar-baity turn in Steve Jobs. I kind of wonder why they didn’t give this some kind of clever name, like iJobs or something (that’s a freebie, Universal Pictures!). The prestige talent on this film is considerable. Oscar-nominee Fassbender, Oscar winner Kate Winslet costarring, Oscar winner Aaron Sorkin screenwriting, Oscar winner Danny Boyle directing. Oscar Oscar Oscar. But after I watched this, I came away thinking… God, Steve Jobs was such a dick. I never read Walter Isaacson’s authorized biography (which is the source material for this), but I remember hearing “Oh yeah, Steve Jobs was a nightmare as a boss.” A lot of people say, “You should make allowances for that kind of genius.” I’m not sure I’m there though, mostly because I never belonged to The Cult of Apple. At least they’re not really sugar-coating it in the film.
Sigh… if this is Fassy’s next chance for an Oscar, I won’t complain. But I just hope Fassy plays ball this time around and isn’t so pissy about the money being spent for his Oscar campaign.
