The Link Rally: 1 June 2012

  • The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel is killing it at the box office. Congrats on crossing $100million US! Indie Wire
  • I'm curious to see what Nicolas Winding-Refn does with Ryan Gosling this time around on Only God Forgives. First photos from the set. Rope of Silicon
  • The new Dreadtime Story is out. Go listen now. Fangoria
  • This trailer for the TOTALLY NSFW horror film Excision is insane. I want it now. Shock Till You Drop
  • One TARDIS towel, please. ThinkGeek

TARDIS Towel

  • Guessing the future literary canon is an exercise in futility. I commend Flavorwire for putting together a plausible list with justification. I'll just toss out Margaret Atwood and Joyce Carol Oates because their novels will be respected some day. Flavorwire
  • Library computer censors online article on censored comic books because it includes terms that caused the comic books to be censored by libraries. AKA, Library Inception. CBLDF
  • American Idol victor Philip Phillips, who hates his debut single, has broken an Idol sales record with his debut single. Hooray? Vote for the Worst

Finally, there is a great discussion going on over at Broadway World about Jerome Robbins' Broadway. The dance revue/Tony award winning Best Musical is well-remembered for a number of scenes. One user kindly uploaded the Billion Dollar Baby Charleston routine after YouTube pulled it recently. It's jaw dropping. Look at them bendy knees go!

And yes, that is skinny, young, pre-Tony winning Jason Alexander sneaking into a speakeasy. He won his Tony for this show. He wrote and delivered narration for all the songs and performed in less dance heavy numbers.
