Hood... winked

Flashback

Austy,  hoodies and hats can help hide the adorable features that make you recognizable and make you a bit incognito (both on screen and off)

But when you wear one that is a college from the Pittsburgh area around the time they are filming there

you are as effective as this guy

Punch Back

A little more Punch to Southpaw.

Page Six is reporting that 50 Cent (Curtis Jackson) will play a promoter who’s part of the entourage of the cocky, aggressive, volatile boxing champion Billy Hope.

Billy fully expects to ride out his career with his massive winnings, adoring fans, beloved wife, Maureen, and their 10-year-old daughter but when his temper triggers a fight and shootout that leaves his wife dead, Billy’s life spirals out of control. After he loses his house, money and daughter, he begins to find his way back to some kind of balance with the help of an amateur trainer (Forrest Whitaker).

Southpaw is still filming in Indiana, Pennsylvania, and will soon shift to Pittsburgh for the remainder of their summer filming.

Ushering the Past

With the little peek back to Love and Debate yesterday it kicked off the Way Way back machine again all the way back to House of Usher

 

Austin in a modern retelling of Poe's Fall of the House of Usher.


 
Don't think Edgar ever pictured it is this way



Or this way


Or that way


But Poe was a gambling man, bet he'd have taken a chance

Back to the House

When Destiny pointed out how she had completely forgotten about House of Usher, it sounds like it's time to go home again.

Back in the Spring of 2005, Austin came east to Massachusetts to shoot House of Usher.

It's the retelling of Edgar Allan Poe's The Fall of the House of Usher.
Austin played Roderick "Rick" Usher contacts his former lover Jill Masters (Izabella Miko) after three years, when her best friend, Madeline "Maddy" Usher, and Rick's twin sister suddenly passes away. Maddy's last wish was for Jill to attend the funeral. Conflicted, Jill returns to the Usher family home to fulfill Maddy's wish and during her stay rekindles her affair with Rick.She learns Rick suffers from the same disease that robbed his twin sister, of her sharp mind and ultimately her life.

The illness is a rare nerve condition, which makes Rick hypersensitive. He is under the very careful watchful and controlling eye of the caretaker, Nurse Thatcher (Beth Grant). Staying on at the Usher's, Jill seems to be haunted by the ghost of her best friend and finds out that she is pregnancy with Rick's child.She also discovers the Usher family secret....On a limited budget it allowed for just 16 days of shoot and an unusual location stood in for the Usher home. It was the Sea View nursing home in Rowley, MA that served as the house and the cast and crew work in unused areas of the building, and on off hours when the residents were sleeping.
They also got the opportunity to shoot a more few scenes in the coast town of Newburyport as in Danvers, MA.

The Sea View was perfect for a horror movie because of its age, size, and grounds and the owner of the nursing home agreed to donate the location for the film. He welcomed the activity that the film brought to his residents.The nursing home's basement and attic were used. Storage spaces were turned into the bedrooms with peeling paint and aging wallpaper. The greenhouse, and secret passage discovered in the house nursing home was incorporated into the story.

Twisted and dark, it's Austin like you haven't seen before.

One more thing: Austin talked about the People's Choice Awards. You think he voted for someone else when he was writing in his name in the TV category?

Screen Treats

Both Jake and Austin have made their own movie treats for Halloween.
So turn out the porch light, get the popcorn and keep all that candy for yourself and watch.


Austin did his odd and creepy in a remake of Edgar Allan Poe's Fall of the House of Usher.
And Jake took his odd and dark turn in Donnie Darko. While the movies are very different they did have a few similarities and shared one thing.









You know Austin looks like he's wearing an IMF Viewer. What pictures would he want to look at in those?

And what did the two movies share?

Beth Grant

And with almost the same hairdo.
