The best views, insiders say, are from the Cort Theatre’s balcony and mezzanine seats.

SXSW Review: Bryan Poyser's Austin Love Letter 'The Bounceback' A Sweet, Competent Antidote to Studio Romcoms

Austin-based filmmaker Bryan Poyser's first two features, "Dear Pillow" and "Lovers of Hate," explored relationship problems by dealing in unconventionally frank ways with sex. Working on a microbudget scale, the movies had little in common with larger and considerably tamer comedy-dramas about similar issues.

"The Bounceback," a step up in scale for the director, bears a closer resemblance to a studio-produced romcom, and suffers to some degree by comparison to his rowdier, unpredictable earlier works. However, compared to the current mainstream standards for the genre, the movie is a smart, refreshing cut above that channels the intelligence found in Poyser's other movies into a more common mold.

It's also a blatant love letter to his hometown, shot at major cultural hotspots of Austin's downtown scene such as the Alamo Drafthouse, which really does host Air Sex Tournaments like the one featured in the movie. The formulaic plot gets an extra jolt of energy from the proverbial "Keep Austin Weird" mentality that informs each scene. It's here that the soft-spoken Stan (Michael Stahl-David) arrives on a whim when he discovers that recent ex Cathy (Ashley Bell) has traveled there for the weekend to visit their mutual friend Kara (Sara Paxton). In the tradition of the classic comedy of remarriage, "The Bounceback" centers on Stan's crazed attempt to rejuvenate a relationship that may or may not have already lost its potential. This is essence of Poyser's "Lovers of Hate" as well, but "The Bounceback" trades that gloomy vision for a bittersweet approach.

In the swiftly edited opening montage, we witness Stan and Cathy's initial courtship and sexual compatibility before learning of their parting of ways -- Cathy to New York City to attend medical school and David to Los Angeles in vain pursuit of a filmmaking career. Still unable to move on, Stan spots Cathy's Facebook announcement of her Austin plans and decides to launch a clandestine mission to win her back, crashing with Kara's recent ex, the goofball Jeff (Zach Cregger) without explaining his real motives to anyone.
As with "Lovers of Hate," in which one character hides in a condo while listening to his girlfriend cavort with his brother, the two protagonists spend much of the time in close proximity but not directly interacting with each other. Despite his attempts to track Cathy down, Stan winds up hauled around town by the reckless Jeff, who has been training with his peers for an air sex championship as a means of irreverent revenge against Kara. The air sex performances in the movie provide slapstick interludes in between the softer developments, as both Cathy and Stan meet potential new love interests during their wild nights out, forcing them to reconsider their priorities.

Setting aside the incredulous serendipity of these simultaneous developments, the parallel dramas unfold with competent will-they-or-won't-they tension sustained by amusing performances -- in both cases more from the actors positioned in secondary roles for comic relief. Cregger's Jeff is the movie's Jason Segel-like man-child, his air sex antics and foul-mouthed bids for horny excursions providing some of the funnier bits; he's nicely complimented by Paxton, whose untempered demeanor keeps the situation unpredictable. 
When the two women meet a pair of brothers during their first night out, Kara's ability to assert control over her rambunctious suitor provides the movie with a comedic highlight only matched later by an air sex showdown with her former lover. Unfortunately, with such energy meted out to the supporting cast, both Jeff and Cathy come across as fairly bland creations stuck in a less inspired dramatic take on the same scenario.

The screenplay, co-written by David DeGrow Shotwell and Steven Walters, takes fewer risks when exploring Jeff and Cathy's conundrum, but hits an entertaining groove when toying with their mutual romantic dysfunction through a series of charmingly awkward text message exchanges that drive the plot forward.
While utterly watchable for most of its running time, "The Bounceback" rarely goes in any surprising directions, eventually arriving at the heartwarming finale that it has been hinting at all along. Clichéd lessons abound -- "people always want what they can't have," says one of the crew -- but the script treats them with a gentle touch that keeps the pace brisk and enjoyable. Poyser's direction relies heavily on the engine of chatter driving the movie, but "The Bounceback" smartly shuts up when passing glances do the trick. Arriving at the uplifting conclusion that mainstream comedies reach for in simpler terms, "The Bounceback" displays a mature approach to average material. Poyser doesn't do anything we haven't seen before, but the familiar ingredients are done just right.
Criticwire grade: B

HOW WILL IT PLAY? Ready-made for SXSW where it premiered, "The Bounceback" may have a tough time finding a wider audience, but its accessible narrative could help it perform decently on VOD.

THE BOUNCEBACK is funny, charming & oh so Austin. Kinda like a raunchy sex comedy version of a @cheesynuggets movie. Glad I saw it at #SXSW.

THE BOUNCEBACK wants to be a kind of Austin Swingers (with air sex). Has moments but not well structured & leads not fleshed out. #sxsw

New 'Plus One' Image Teases College Party of the Year

Dennis Iliadis' supernatural thriller will have its world premiere during the Midnighters section of the fest.

Plus One, Dennis Iliadis’ supernatural thriller, will have its world premiere Sunday at the South by Southwest Film Festival.

The film follows three college friends (Rhys Wakefield, Colleen Dengel and Logan Miller) who go to the biggest party of the year. But a mysterious phenomenon disrupts the bash, sparking a series of strange events and pushing the party into chaos. The three challenged to keep their friendship together and -- more important -- try to stay alive.

Iliadis' credits include horror remake The Last House on the Left, which grossed $45.3 million worldwide in 2009. Plus One's screenplay was written by Bill Gullo.

Plus One will premiere during the genre-heavy Midnighters section of the fest.

Here, The Hollywood Reporter exclusively hosts a new image from the film. In it, three party attendees (Dengel, Miller and Rohan Kymal) are provided with a feast for their eyes -- a naked woman (Crystal Lo) covered in sushi.

Meet the 2013 SXSW Filmmakers #31: Dennis Iliadis' John Hughes-Inspired Thriller 'Plus One'

Greek horror director Dennis Iliadis, perhaps best known for his 2009 "The Last House on the Left" remake, comes to SXSW Midnight with his new, original film, shot by "The Master" DP Mihai Malaimare Jr.

What it's about: 3 college friends go to the big party of the summer, each on a grand mission. A supernatural phenomenon happens that could give them a second chance- or change them forever.

About the filmmaker: I was born in Greece, and my first American film was the "Last House on the Left" remake. After that I got attached to some big studio projects ("The Birds,""Jekyll") which were moving too slowly so I realized I had to generate my own material alongside. I had written my previous films as well as stuff for the theatre so that was no issue- I actually realized that was something I should never have stopped. So I came up with the story for Plus One, then wrote a very detailed treatment outlining the beats and character’s journeys. I brought that to Tim Perell who is a friend and a great producer who has successfully ventured from the commercial to the edgiest. He loved the concept so then we brought on board Bill Gullo, a new york writer, to flesh it out into a screenplay while we stayed very involved in the writing process. It’s a very interesting project because it’s kind of high concept while taking immense risks. It takes a number of very familiar elements- the crazy college party movie, sci fi phenomena, teens in danger- and spins them to a totally unexpected direction.

What else do you want audiences to know about your film? It is not a horror movie- although it has quite a few horror movie elements. There’s comedy too. And a great twisted love story. It shares the strong thriller element that all my movies have: once things start happening, there is no time for stasis; characters will reach to their furthest-and more interesting- extremes.

What was your biggest challenge in developing this project? I guess the biggest challenge was purely technical. We needed visual effects that technology had only quite recently made possible but also needed to push them in ways that you haven’t seen before. They had to be seamless while the camera movement and physical interaction was almost prohibitive. When you see the movie you’ll understand what I mean… I have to thank two amazing vfx companies, Lola and Hydraulx, from the bottom of my heart for accepting to come on board as co-producers, embracing the challenge and doing phenomenal work. Without them this movie wouldn’t exist.

What would you like SXSW audiences to come away with after seeing your film? I’d like SXSW audiences to come in knowing as little as possible, leaving any ‘baggage’ at the door. Based on test audience reactions so far, there will be a LOT to talk about at the end of the screenings.

Did any specific films inspire you? With my enormously talented DP - Mihai Malaimare Jr. ("The Master"- we watched a lot of American teen movies: all John Hughes, "Superbad," "Can’t Hardly Wait," "Project X," "Chronicle"... For the darker turns, there were no specific references/inspirations. I guess we already had it in us.

What do you have in the works? Right now I have two studio projects in development. And one in Europe, just to keep things balanced.

* Expecting loads of nudity from the way Iliadis talked about extremes. Natalie Hall is the babe I watching out for besides Ashley. It's her first racy role and the Canadian could shocked us into ejaculation.

SXSW Futures: 'A Teacher' Breakout Will Brittain Brings Racy Sundance Hit Home to Austin

Why He's On Our Radar: "A Teacher," Hannah Fidell's acclaimed feature directorial debut, already made waves at Sundance earlier this year in the festival's NEXT section, culminating in a coveted Oscilloscope Laboratories buy. Although the film's SXSW bow won't mark its world premiere, it will mark a homecoming of sorts for one of it's principal players (and Austin boy) Will Brittain. In the sexy drama, Brittain stars alongside Lindsay Burdge as a teenager engaged in an affair with his teacher (Burdge). Good looking, incredibly charismatic and clearly undaunted by risky choices, Brittain should go far.

More About Him: Brittain grew up wanting to play football and act. After sustaining an injury in his senior year, he decided to turn all his attention towards acting, enrolling in the University of Texas' acting program. He booked "A Teacher" while still enrolled.

Congratulations on the film getting picked up by Oscilloscope. That’s huge news.

Thank you!

Given that the SXSW screenings are going to be a homecoming of sorts for you, what’s going through your mind?

I’m really excited to see how people accept the film here in Austin opposed to at Sundance. I think it’ll be well received because it pretty much has been so far, but it’s really exciting knowing that some of my friends and family will be able to see it and some of the people who are in the industry who live here in Austin. 

Did you get to share it with any friends and family at Sundance or are they going to be seeing it for the first time?

They’re all going to be seeing it for the first time. None of my friends or family members have seen it yet.

Just given the subject matter are you kind of wary of your parents seeing this film?

I mean, not really. I’m nervous about what they think about it but they know what it’s about. I don’t think it’s that big of a deal, to me, really. I’m nervous about my girlfriend seeing it.
Why is that?

I just wouldn’t think it’s something you really want to watch, your boyfriend making out and doing love scenes with another woman. It’s pretty tough to see. She understands and everything, but it’s going to be tough for her to watch the film.

Has she met Lindsay [Burdge]?

No, but we are getting together before SXSW, because she’s gonna be in Austin shooting a movie so we’re going to try and get together and do dinner or something like that.

Get the nerves out of the way before the show.

Right, right.

Take me back to Sundance and what it was like for you.

Yeah, it was crazy. It was a life-changing experience, definitely. It was awesome that the film went so well and that we had so many really amazing people there. A lot of things started happening really fast...signing with Paradigm, and going out to LA about a week after Sundance, met more really cool people. It’s just been this sort of really crazy ride ever since then. It’s been great, I couldn’t be happier.

I ran into Hannah [Fidell] at a screening the other night and she told me since Sundance you've been going out for these “Hunger Game” type of auditions.

Well I auditioned for a film called “Divergent,” with Neil Burger, for several different roles for that. I got really close on all of them; didn’t end up booking, unfortunately. I auditioned for this film called “Endless Love” which is shooting here in Austin, and I’m still up for the lead role in that along with Liam Hemsworth and another actor, I can’t remember his name. So I’m waiting to hear back on that. And I auditioned for several pilots that are coming up. So things are good, I’ve had a lot of auditions lately and they’ve all been going really well, and I’ve been getting good traction among the casting directors. I auditioned for “Unbroken,” which is the Lou Zamperini story that Angelia Jolie is directing. It’s been great! It’s been crazy.

So you’re managing to actually get seen for stuff despite living in Austin, which is pretty remarkable.

Yeah! I’ve been able to submit tapes, and I actually had to fly out to LA to audition for “Unbroken,” but I mean, it was definitely worth the trip to do that. It was an amazing opportunity just to be able to get in the room for that film.

Back when you initially got the role in “A Teacher,” I’m guessing you never thought all of this would come. Or did you, based on the quality of the script and the talent?

I knew that…. I didn’t know that much about film at all, but I knew that it was a fantastic script, that Lindsay was a fantastic actress, and Hannah was a great director. I knew that from the very first audition, you could just tell. So I knew it was definitely something that I wanted to do. I didn’t even know how the process worked, with films getting into festivals and all that; it was such a completely new world to me. So as we were shooting the film I was just constantly asking Lindsay and Hannah questions about that – what is the best thing that could happen? And they said, to get into Sundance, and I said what are the chances of that happening? And they’re like, “well, you know, I mean… We’ll see?” So when it happened, it was just kind of like, “whoa, what? This is awesome!” So I knew I was with some really talented people for the get-go, but I had no clue it was going to be this big.

* If a guy thinks the love scenes are too sexy for his girlfriend, then I really expect nudity of some kind from easy-on-eye Lindsay Burdge.

Latest reviews of the movie is here and here.

stars, sex and nudity buzz : 03/03/2013

Plus One

Synopsis:

Three college friends go to the biggest party of the year, each looking for something different: love, sex and a simple human connection. When a supernatural phenomenon disrupts the party, it lights a fuse on what will become the strangest night anyone has ever seen. As the three friends struggle to find what they’re looking for, the party quickly descends into a chaos that challenges if they can stay friends or if they can even stay alive.

Director: Dennis Iliadis
Executive Producer: Brothers Strause, Edson Williams
Producer: Tim Perell, Dennis Iliadis
Screenwriter: Bill Gullo, Story: Dennis Iliadis
Cinematographer: Mihai Malaimare Jr.
Principal Cast: Rhys Wakefield, Logan Miller, Ashley Hinshaw, Natalie Hall 

There isn’t much info on the  movie. Everything is under wraps. Only thing I can be certain of is that it’ll be R-rated and have ‘scenes of that nature’ according to vague assurance through an e-mail contact. Greek director Dennis Iliadis has a good track record when it comes to nude scenes. Plus (see what I did there) the flick arguably has the most attractive bunch of actors in a mainstream movie this year. Wouldn't it be nice to have someone in the MPAA to provide infos on latest flicks? Rated-R for "Ashley Hinshaw and her perfect chesticles".

Ashley Hinshaw is the one I’m hoping for to bare her perfect puppies again. They need the air to stay supple and smooth, Ashley. Sweetheart....it has been a while since you let them out for a breather. Winning the Mr. Skin title isn't an excuse to rest on your laurels. Those pair of talented jugs deserves another glare of the pervs spotlight. Don't you agree, munchkin?

Other contenders in a film filled with mega hotties including possible nudity first-timers:

23-years old Canadian actress Natalie Hall (of Pretty Little Liars fame) plays Melanie. This is her first R-rated effort. Natalie is very much a Lifetime kind of actress so boobies from her will be icing on my cock. In fact she been inching slowly towards more cleavage-baring roles (did you guys catch her on last week CSI?) after experiencing real-life sexual awakening on the set of Plus One according to my trusty gossip-mongers in Atlanta, Georgia. Yep. She's been naughty. 

Hopefully Iliadis worked her over so well that we maybe go beyond quick flash of tits to a lengthy sex scene with Natalie totally nude.

Southern sweet-heart Lilly Roberson exact role is undetermined so far. The 19-years old Georgia native is a rising star and a gratuitous nude scene could help boost her career in very much different and edgier direction. I like girls with flower names. Hippyish and 'expressive'.

another Georgia-native 29-years old April Billingsley is Brenda in the movie. Unfortunately for us guys, vivacious babe plays for the other team in personal life.

April B:

I just got back from LA where I was getting my face scanned for some special effects shots in "Plus One," the film I'm in that wrapped up principal photography back in July.  They flew me and a couple of my fellow actors in the film to LA and put us up in a lovely place on the beach in Santa Monica.  The next day we taped our performances for the special effects team in this really schmancy contraption.  So schmancy, in fact, that we weren't even allowed to take pictures!  I won't spoil anything in the movie by telling you what the effects are, but suffice it to say that you haven't seen anything like it before.

22-years old Chrissy Chambers plays Kitty.  According to her this is her first principal role in a major feature film. One hot lesbian - a recent convert. And in my homophobic world, all attractive carpet munchers likes to get naked at some point.

24-years old pro-am model turn actress Hannah Kasulka in a small role; fencing with Ms. Hinshaw. My fantasy: a lesbian sex scene with Ashley in the shower after the heavy workout. Booked a recurring role on True Blood and keeping fingers crossed for possible nude scene. Blue-eyed Hannah did mentioned on her tweeter she was running low on cash and any chance to work is a bonus. If she does show her tits, take a little time to remember this guy.

23-years old Cait Johnson lives in Atlanta. Very much a regional actress.

27-years old statuesque Gracie Zane is also a model. She and Cait Johnson are playing twins?

27-years old petite red-head Valyn Hall is also from Georgia. Amazing green-eyes. Check out her twitter account. Her role in the flick : "Tracey's friend"

And this is Tracey : newcomer Chelsea Hayes. Unable to find any info on the blonde babe.

But methinks nudity should come from :

Peach state born-and-bred Marla Malcolm and other secondary including non-speaking female characters.

HitFix First Look: 'Shameless' star Emmy Rossum on Fiona's day in court

An exclusive video and a chat with the Showtime drama's leading lady

By Alan Sepinwall

Emmy Rossum is giving one of the best performances in all of television as fierce, wounded Fiona Gallagher on Showtime’s “Shameless.” She’s working for a network that has had a lot of success at promoting its actors for awards the last few years. Oh, and she has the word “Emmy” right there in her name. Yet despite this, Rossum and “Shameless” haven’t so much as sniffed any Emmy love as yet. Not even her two-time Emmy-winning co-star William H. Macy got a nomination for either of the series’ first two seasons.

Maybe it’s because it’s hard to categorize “Shameless,” which has both extremely serious elements (a family trying to cling to the poverty line, dealing — either personally or through friends — with substance abuse, violence, incest and more) and comic ones (many of these subjects are played for laughs at times). Maybe it’s because the low-class, dirty nature of the Gallaghers and their lives are a turn-off to awards voters. Maybe Emmy voters simply don’t like to give headline writers an easy task now and then.

But Rossum continues to be great on “Shameless,” playing the one Gallagher who holds the family together, and she’s been especially strong in what’s arguably been the show’s best season yet. A recent story arc involved Macy’s degenerate drunk Frank Gallagher calling social services on his own kids out of spite, resulting in the family being split up — some to dire circumstances, like Debbie (Emma Kenney) being sent to a foster home that seems more like a prison — while Fiona scrambles to reunite her siblings under one roof.

Sunday’s episode (it airs, as usual, at 9 p.m.) provides the sort of showcase that could win Rossum an award or three if anyone who gives out awards were to notice. (Some spoilers follow.) Fiona, having discovered that it was Frank who called social services, has finally had enough of this man having any say in the lives of her and her siblings, and decides to go to court to protect the family she’s been running for years. In the clip embedded at the top of this post, Fiona makes her plea to the judge for why Frank should be kept away from the kids.

It’s a superb scene in what’s been a terrific season, and I got on the phone recently to talk to Rossum about this year in the life of the Gallaghers.

When you get a big meaty monologue like the one in this episode, how do you, as a performer, approach that? What was your reaction when you got that script?

Emmy Rossum:       Well, these are characters that are dealing with poverty and dealing with alcoholism and homosexuality and everything. And it's a dark story that generally we tried to treat it with some levity, and that's showing a very resilient family. And Fiona's a very strong character. But this is a situation where William H. Macy's character, Frank, has really reached a whole new level, a whole lower bottom. He's basically taking his own children and taking them away from Fiona, who's essentially their mother, really. And so I tried to approach it from a story perspective. We know that she's been in court fighting for these kids before, and that the accusations against the family are really bogus. And her having to say aloud the things that you always know about how horrible her father is to her and to her family, having to verbalize the abandonment and the hurt in order to persuade the judge, is something that I don't think she's ever done. So the monologue is about admitting the shame in the fact that your parents have abandoned you and don't care about you, and saying that in a courthouse to a judge and where people are supposed to be upstanding citizens, and you’re feeling like you're dirt. It's a very difficult thing. So I tried to tell the story as simply and honestly as possible, and I think about my own situation with my father who abandoned me and my mother when I was a child. So although I don't know him very well, there was definitely some poignancy in that kind of a story to me.

Frank is an unrelentingly horrible human being and that's been something that Fiona has witnessed for much of the series. What is it about this particular circumstance where his behavior so far over the line that she's finally willing to say these things and commit to this kind of legal action?

Emmy Rossum: I don't think she has a choice at this point. She has to do this to get the kids back under one roof. Because you want them to get better, you want to be a family. I think there's a longing in that for her, in her and in all the kids for Frank to get better, to get clean, but at the end of the day, Fiona is a mother lion and she will do anything to protect these children and she knows that she is the only one who can protect them. And the fact that he has called Social Services on his own children is really a new low. He has jeopardized their safety, and she will do anything to get them back and to keep them safe. There's such nobility and strength in the female character, it's really amazing how they write her.

Are there ever times in the past where you've read a script and Fiona or one of the other kids is allowing Frank back in to the house or back into their life or believing something he's said and you said to yourself, "Really? Would she really go along with this given everything that she knows about who he is and what he's done?"

Emmy Rossum:       Yes, but then I realized that where Fiona's mother has completely abandoned them, Frank always comes back. I think that there is some forgiveness in that — in the fact that he is a selfish bastard and a junky, a horrible person, but I think underneath it all he comes back — and I think there's something in that kind of twisted loyalty that gets her. And I think that she wants to believe that he'll get better one day, and I think that there's a little part of her inside that is still a little girl that wants affection and approval from him, and I think that's only a natural instinct.  So as times when I feel like, “Well, I can't believe Fiona would be letting him back in the house after X-Y-Z,” I try to put my own judgment on that action off of it and just focus on how she would deal with it.

One of the big threads leading up to this is the tension between Fiona and Jimmy. He feels that she is not empathizing enough with his problems, and she feels that his problems are small potatoes compared to her family’s, and it goes back and forth between who seems to be apologizing in any given moment. Obviously, Fiona doesn’t know at this point about Jimmy’s wife, but do you feel she’s justified in her side of things, do you think that he maybe has a point?

Emmy Rossum:       The bottom line is we're dealing with a romantic relationship with people who come from completely different worlds. Jimmy is a privileged guy who doesn't need to work and Fiona works nine jobs to support these six kids. Jimmy's obviously reeling with the news that his parents are getting divorced; his mom's an alcoholic and his dad's gay. But essentially, Jimmy's a rich kid whose dad's gay and his mom drinks a little. We've got Fiona whose family has been completely torn apart, who has no mother, who has a horrible father, who has put all of their lives in jeopardy and she's picking up a body in the backyard of her house that her father buried. Comparatively, I think that I would side with Fiona because these problems are pretty incomparable.

You said before that it's a privilege as an actress to get material like this. There aren’t a lot of roles — especially for an actress of your age, as opposed to someone who's been around the block for quite a bit longer — that are really this meaty and give you as much to play both in terms of drama and in terms of comedy as you get to so consistently do for these three seasons. How does it feel to have this character and have this showcase to play her?

Emmy Rossum:       It's a blessing and I just thank my lucky stars that I had a good audition, because the material is top notch week after week. The dialogue is good. They let us inhabit these roles and make them our own. They give us the guidance and the support to create something that I think is unique and funny and dark, and we get to deal with these big issues and deal with these dramatic storylines that have the brevity too.

What do you remember about that audition?

Emmy Rossum:       How much I wanted it. How much I wanted and loved this character. How much I could see the potential in her of what she could be and what she could become, of what she is becoming. When you're dealing with the character with so much pain, but who is so resilient time and time again, it is so fascinating to play and energizing and thrilling. And I feel very lucky. And as a woman in television, you're seeing these parts on television that are now written for women that really don't exist in film as much. It's a really a luxury and I am grateful and don't take it for granted.

And you so rarely get a juicy monologue where people writing for you that it feels it often times that our show is written like it could be anything. You know, if you want to find the funny in it, you can find the funny. If you want to find the catharsis in the same, you can find that. It's very varied and our actors are really smart and invested in playing the truth, and if that truth makes you laugh that's great. If that truth makes you cry, if it makes you horrified, that's great. I think people are sometimes a little scared of our show, to be honest, because they hear a lot about how graphic it is and I think that it definitely is. I think we try to show love and child services and alcoholism and sex in a graphic real way, and I think that when you're showing poverty like this, it gets graphic. So I don't shy away from that; I'm in fact proud of it and I think that it's an interesting thing and we're just different. So I'm glad that we're finding our audience and that that's growing because I think people are sometimes a little scared of the content. It's tough content.

As someone who has to play some of this tough content, was there a point at which you came to terms with the idea that, “Okay, they're going to keep throwing these scenarios at us and we're going to have to play them,” or did it never trouble you at any point?

Emmy Rossum:       Yeah, but there's push backs that we have as actors, too, to say, “No, I don't think my character would do that” or, “No, I don't think this is believable” or, “Can we try to play this in a different way?” or “I don't think this is right. This is too far.” So we do have voice. Actors have a voice. It's our job to bring it to fruition and bring it to fruition believably. So it's our job to say when something rings true with us or it doesn't, especially after we've lived these characters viscerally for three years now.

But at this relatively late date, do you ever read scripts and you know your jaw drops and you said, "Oh, my God. I can't believe that this a thing that's happening on Shameless."?

Emmy Rossum:       Well, it's the title of our show. We're called “Shameless.” We're bold and we're in your face and we're intense and we're proud of it. And I think that there is something to be celebrated 'cause we're different than every other show because of it and John Wells certainly doesn't shy away from that. He writes a lot of it, so there you go.

Obviously, you've got this very serious storyline that's going on right now, but the other thing that Fiona had been dealing with recently is the job at the supermarket. And that's a fairly straight-up comic storyline for you, when you don't necessarily get to go to quite that comic of place all the time on the show. How was that experience for you?

Emmy Rossum:       It was strange because it was the one storyline that I wasn't sure was actually going to work. I have never been in a situation where I was the victim of sexual harassment to this ridiculous extent. So I wasn't sure that stuff like this actually happens, but these episodes have started to air now and people are writing on Facebook, on Twitter, writing letters like, “This happened to me. Thank you for making this funny. Thank you for bringing this to light.” It's just strange that you can show these kind of heightened scenarios and that it resonates with people. So it was definitely a comically kind of comic ode to a Norma Rae moment.

There was a lot of reacting to this disgusting boss who's sexually harassing all the girls in the supermarket, and I guess I can imagine that that exists. So I just had to play that. And I try to play even the comic situations realistically. And if you get the laugh, you get the laugh, but I never try to play for the laugh.

Screen nudity - and the accidental email that even shocked my very liberal dad, by ANNA FRIEL

• Anna Friel accidentally showed her father pornographic images
• They were research for her next role as Jean Raymond, wife of porn baron Paul Raymond

She is known for taking on some controversial – and revealing – acting roles.

But Anna Friel has admitted she has managed to shock her parents only once – by emailing her father some pornographic images.

The 36-year-old, who plays Jean Raymond, the wife of porn baron Paul Raymond, in a new film called The Look Of Love, made the embarrassing slip-up while she was researching her role.

‘I sent an email to my dad with some pictures of Jean Raymond,’ she said. ‘He called me afterwards and said, “I think you’re going a bit far on this one.”

‘I wondered what he meant and then I realised I’d sent him an email attachment of an actual porn shoot that Jean did – I mean, everything. I was mortified.’

Friel, who first hit the headlines aged 16 for filming a lesbian kiss scene in Brookside, admitted her parents were not usually surprised by anything she did. ‘I was brought up in a very open household – I’m very close to my papa and he’s not easily shocked.’

And the actress, who also appeared naked in BBC drama The Tribe in 1998 and on stage in Breakfast At Tiffany’s four years ago, revealed that she has no problems baring all.

‘I didn’t mind being naked,’ she said in an interview in April’s edition of Easy Living magazine, which is accompanied by photographs of her taken by rock star Bryan Adams. ‘I’ve always been OK with my body. We’ve all got t**s. I’ve also got b***s – I just don’t show them very often.’

Friel, who has a daughter from a previous relationship with actor David Thewlis, said juggling the demands of motherhood and acting was a challenge: ‘I’m 36. My friends are freezing their eggs. It’s much harder to be a woman these days.

'We’ve got to do everything – work, cope with the travelling and still be a mother.’

Almodovar Says Upcoming Comedy 'I'm So Excited' Promises to be Risque

By Pamela Rolfe | The Hollywood Reporter

MADRID - Pedro Almodovar's upcoming comedy I'm so Excited promises to be one of his most racy, the Spanish director said in the first in-depth interview on the film Saturday.

"There are dialogues that are a little embarrassing to listen to. Even for me. And I wrote them," Almodovar said in an interview with Spanish daily El Mundo. "Men don't usually speak so openly about sex as the characters. I think the male viewers are going to have more problems than the women. Because we men are more hypocritical-- regardless of homosexual or heterosexual."

Almodovar said the film serves up more than just laughs and "has a certain melancholy." The ensemble cast features Penelope Cruz and Antonio Banderas, along with Paz Vega, Javier Camara, Cecilia Roth, Pepa Charro, Blanca Suarez, Hugo Silva, Antonio de la Torre, Lola Duenas and Miguel Angel Silvestre.

The film, which will be release in Spain March 8 and in the U.S. on June 28, is shot in an airplane that encounters technical failure and watches as pilots and crew farcically try to set aside their own problems in the face of imminent danger to entertain and comfort passengers.

The director said would Excited would "affect a lot of bisexuals," but only shows heterosexual sexual relations on camera because "it's much more fun to talk about sex that to do it. And that's from someone who has shot some of the most explicit scenes. You can see it in people's eyes."

The two-page article addressed a range of issues, including Spain's most international director's opinion on the Spanish Academy's Goya Awards ceremony two weeks ago-- "[Culture Minister] Jose Ignacio Wert shouldn't have gone to the ceremony. In the end of the day, he's the bane of the sector."

Almodovar also spoke about the gloomy economic situation in Spain, the superiority complex of the rich, the social freedom and sexual liberation of the 1980 and political scandals that have come to light in the Spanish press.

But true to form, Almodovar speaks openly about the controversy his film may stir up.
"Controversy means people are alive. In any case, nowadays controversy means something else. A lot of taboos have changed."

How’s your knowledge of famous Asians?

There’s another one of those videos featuring knowledge-rich Americans wrongly responding to questions –not of the world this time, but mostly pop culture. One of course wonders: were the participants all random picks or did the author edit in the biggest knuckleheads? (Kim Jong-il, Japanese? Come on, really?)
Koreans should be pleased with the results –the country brand is strong enough that other ethnicities get credit for being Korean when they’re not.
At least he has the one pair of sharp guys that nail every question –even the one about Mr. Miayge.

Melissa King: Warrants out for former Miss Delaware Teen USA's arrest

By Terri Schwartz

March 3, 2013

Melissa King isn't only guilty of making a porn video. The former Miss Delaware Teen USA has resigned her crown amid her sex tape scandal, but it turns out she also has warrants out for her arrest in Ocean City, Md.

The Associated Press reports that King was cited in June 2012 for "allegedly stealing money from a city bus fare box." She later was cited in August on a charge of underage possession of alcohol. King failed to appear in both cases, and a warrant was put out in August for the theft case and in October for the alcohol case.

No wonder King allegedly turned to porn to try to make some quick cash. The company that she posed for, GirlsDoPorn.com, says she approached them and only made $1,500 out of the gig. When asked by a cameraman in the video snippet that has surfaced why she was opting to have sex on camera, the woman who seems to be King says she needed the money.
The video was reportedly filmed prior to King winning Miss Delaware Teen USA in November, so the timing does line up with her other troubles. Fortunately, if it's money King needs, then it's money she can get, as YouPorn has offered her a $250,000 contract to be "Miss YouPorn." She would have to tour the world in the site's name, but wouldn't have to have sex on camera. Not a bad trade off, all things considered.
