Can Cinematical Renew Its Rolling Stone Subscription?

Filed under: Action », Horror », Fandom », Movie Marketing »

And you thought bullets were a bad thing? If you ask any entertainer, I'm sure at some point during their rise to stardom it was a goal of theirs to land on the cover of Rolling Stone. Well, Cinematical would like to formally congratulate Rosario Dawson and Rose McGowan for achieving what most women their age only dream about -- a spot on the cover of Rolling Stone, naked, with only bullet straps covering up those precious private areas.

Not only does it objectify women and promote violence, but it also makes you really want to see Grindhouse this weekend. Ain't America grand? In the photo, the two stand back-to-back (yes, I remember that scene from Requiem for a Dream too), air-brushed in all the right places so that, when they stare out at you, it's almost like their eyes are sending you a message: "Come buy me horny boy. Blow me up and cover your dorm room with my image. Oh, and then go see Grindhouse." Here's hoping Quentin Tarantino and Robert Rodriguez include a behind-the-scenes of that Rolling Stones photo session on the DVD. Oh c'mon, I can't be the only one interested in the way they lit the room? (To see the cover in all its naughty glory, click on the picture above.)

Beck goes crazy; also, will score Nacho Libre

Filed under: Comedy », Drama », Music & Musicals », Deals », Newsstand »

It's official: Beck has lost his damn mind. Based on the abundant evidence of a single feature, he has elevated Napoleon Dynamite director Jared Hess into the film stratosphere alongside none other than Federico Fellini. Seriously. That really happened. Talking to a stunned Rolling Stone reporter, Beck dropped the following bomb: "No filmmaker since Fellini has had such an eye for amazing characters [as Hess]." Um, wow. Read that carefully, now: I realize he's not comparing Hess' visual style to that of Fellini, but still - in Beck's personal world of great characters, there are only two masters, and one of the is Jared Hess. Man, if Wong Kar Wai knew who Beck was, he would totally come kick his ass, and Michelangelo Antonioni might just tie him to a chair and force him to watch The Passenger over and over again.

Sadly for those two, the lack of Beck love means that he'll never, ever score one of their films. Since his first ever foray into movie scores will be for Hess' Nacho Libre, he clearly has very high standards for such things - if Fellini were alive, he'd be the only other man with a shot. In addition to scoring Hess' film, Beck will also contribute songs to the soundtrack (though it's unclear if they'll be new recordings); the movie hits theaters June 2.
