Big Brother’s Great Grandpa Will Mess You Up, Son [Short Ends]

Big Brother’s Great Grandpa Will Mess You Up, Son [Short Ends]

· And now for some non-earthquake-related Big Brother rumbles: In one corner, we have 75-year-old contestant (and the oldest person on CBS since Murder, She Wrote), Jerry. In the other, we have professional “mixologist” Memphis, precisely one-third Jerry’s age. We won’t tell you how it plays out, except to say so long as you’re glimpsing three-quarters-of-a-century-old armpit, Jerry’s winning. [Big Brother]
· A fourth Austin Powers is reportedly being written by Mike Myers. It’s a “very personal [take] with a father and son theme loosely based on his own life,” meaning it’s sure to feature a scene in which the old Mini Me is tossed around in the backyard. [Deadline Hollywood]
· In honor of Discovery Channel’s Shark Week, a chat with a Great White. [edithzimmerman.com]
· Hitting every stop on the Interactive Ben Kingsley Accent Map would wear out even the sturdiest Amazing Race contestants. [bestweekever.tv]
· Hey—bear running around a track in high heels! [Jezebel]


Benicio Del Toro, English Entrails Star in Stirring New ‘Wolfman’ Clip [Bloody Good]

With the hazy, nut-hugging memory of Comic-Con thankfully behind it, the world has begun to take stock of the actual news that came out of San Diego last weekend. But perhaps the biggest story broke today as an erstwhile fanboy overcame his quivering long enough to capture this preview of The Wolfman, Benicio Del Toro’s riff on the hairy horror classic. The (mildly spoiling) touchstones are all there for a hit in the making: tortured brooder Del Toro slashing top-hatted limeys; Anthony Hopkins’s furrowed, torch-lit brow; Hugo Weaving getting out of a carriage; Emily Blunt in soft-focus peril; and surprisingly grisly flashes of the title character’s prey. Seriously, this looks pretty good (the movie, not the video) but don’t get us wrong — it’s no Red Sonja. Really, though, what is? Judge for yourself after the jump. [TrailerAddict via /Film]
