12 Actors and Directors on Shooting Sex Scenes

By Alison Nastasi on

This week, we learned that director Harmony Korine cast a woman who could balance “three or four Coke cans on her ass” in his debauched Spring Breakers. It also turns out that star Gucci Mane couldn’t stop smoking weed long enough to successfully perform a sex scene with her in the movie. Vulture interviewed Korine, who revealed that the rapper-actor — who plays a rival drug lord to James Franco’s Alien — fell asleep during his big sex scene. “As he is getting f*cked, I start to hear snores,” said Korine. “He had literally passed out!” It’s an amusing anecdote, but it left us wondering how actors and directors handle those moments on the big screen. Do they really enjoy them? Is it always awkward? Check out the on-screen sex confessions of film and television’s finest past the break. … Read More

By Judy Berman on

Some people love Drew Droege’s Chloë Sevigny impersonations because they think Sevigny is a pretentious hipster who deserves to be mocked. Some people — including, apparently, Sevigny — hate them because they love Sevigny and don’t appreciate the implication that she’s a pretentious hipster who deserves to be mocked. … Read More

The Riskiest Performances in Film

By Alison Nastasi on

Audiences at the 50th New York Film Festival will get an eyeful of Precious director Lee Daniels’ Florida noir The Paperboy tomorrow evening. The film gets a limited release this Friday. Well before its Cannes debut, the filmmaker was promising a multitude of moments in his story — about a reporter who returns to his hometown to investigate a case involving a death row inmate — featuring stars Nicole Kidman, John Cusack, Matthew McConaughey, and Zac Efron “getting down.” The big tease resulted in one of Nicole Kidman’s riskiest performances, which we talk more about past the break. Who else made bold moves in their career? We explore other stars’ riskiest roles, below. Let us know who you’d add to the list. … Read More

Watch the First Episode of Chloë Sevigny’s Transsexual Assassin Show

By Judy Berman on

It’s a great time to be a TV-loving Chloë Sevigny fan. Not only is the actress, who almost single-handedly made Big Love worth watching, slated to play a mental patient known as “Shelley the Nymphomaniac” on Season 2 of American Horror Story, but she’s currently starring as a transsexual assassin on the British series Hit & Miss. The show will make its US debut tonight at 10pm on DirecTV’s Audience Network, but if you don’t happen to subscribe to the satellite service, you can still preview the entire first episode — complete with some NSFW moments — below and then wait for the rest to surface on Netflix or Hulu. … Read More

Great Film Actors Who Became Great TV Actors

By Judy Berman on

Whenever we find out that one of our favorite film actors has taken a role on TV, we’re intrigued. Why trade Hollywood’s red carpets and big paydays for the weekly grind of a regular television schedule? While some thespians can’t resist a juicy role on premium cable, others embrace the small screen as a way to regain the cred they’ve lost after years of disappointing parts in terrible movies. In honor of Don Cheadle’s surprising — and delightful — decision to helm Showtime’s House of Lies, which premiered last night, we look at ten great film actors who became great TV actors. … Read More
