Weekend Peep Show: Highbrow, Lowbrow

Sex and the City: The Movie Just Got Harry

Slowly but surely our favorite Sex and the City men are joining the cast for the 2008 film! Evan Handler, known as Harry Goldenblatt to fans, has joined Mr. Big, Chris Noth, (more) as man #2 coming back for more Sex and the City (Bruno).

Now we’ll await the good news hopefully to come that the adorably wonderful Steve and the notoriously hot (and sweet) Smith Jared will join the cast as well.

Rainn Wilson becomes The Rocker!

School of Rock meets Wayne’s World meets Sebastian Bach showing up on Gilmore Girls – but better. Why? Because this 2008 comedy film, The Rocker, stars The Office‘s Rainn Wilson, known so fondly as the uptight, power-hungry, super-nerd Dwight Schrute.

Wilson plays a crazy drummer who’s old bad cruelly ditched him, and when his teenage nephew’s band needs some serious talent, he decides to go for it. Wilson’s character, “Robert Fishman, aka Fish…is a former heavy-metal drummer ‘working menial jobs and having nowhere relationships,'” (Breznican). Sounds suspiciously like Sebastian Bach’s character on Gilmore Girls aka the old guy in a teenage band – a little washed up, but who still knows how to rock… kind of.
