"You're gunna lose the support of the people who've always had your back." Electric Entertainment has debuted an official trailer for the indie drama Lbj, telling the story of Vice President Lyndon B. Johnson, who became President after John F. Kennedy was assassinated in 1963. Oscar nominee Woody Harrelson stars as Lyndon B. Johnson, showing him before and during the election, as well as after the assassination when he had to take over the presidency during a time of national mourning. The film also stars Richard Jenkins as Sen. Richard Russell, Bill Pullman as Sen. Ralph Yarborough, Jeffrey Donovan as President John F. Kennedy, Kim Allen as Jacqueline Kennedy & Jennifer Jason Leigh as Lady Bird Johnson. This looks solid, with some very powerful scenes being featured in this trailer. Though it does seem a bit campy. Here's the first official trailer for Rob Reiner's Lbj movie, direct from YouTube (via...

The first trailer for Lbj has been released and it features Woody Harrelson in a very different role as he plays Lyndon B. Johnson, the 36th President of the United States. The movie comes from director by Rob Reiner (Misery, A Few Good Men, Stand By Me) and the biopic follows Johnson’s struggle as the vice president under John F. Kennedy. Of course that all changes after JFK is assassinated.
It's weird to see Harrelson in this role because, as you'll see, he completely transformers himself to become Lbj. It looks like he gives a great performance, but I've got to say that his Lbj makeover is a little distracting because I know it's Harrelson, but it looks nothing like him! Regardless of that, it still looks like a decent movie worth checking out.

Former "Burn Notice" star Jeffrey Donovan will portray President John F. Kennedy alongside Woody Harrelson's Lyndon Baines Johnson in Rob Reiner's upcoming "Lbj" film.
Joey Hartstone's script follows Johnson's ascension from the poor hill country of West Texas to the corridors of power in Washington. Johnson was JFK's running mate in the 1960 election and his 1963 assassination led to Johnson ascending to the role of President.
He joins a cast that also includes Jennifer Jason Leigh as Lady Bird Johnson, Michael Stahl-David as Bobby Kennedy, Richard Jenkins as Richard Russell, Bill Pullman as Ralph Yarborough and Kim Allen as Jackie Kennedy.
Reiner, Matthew George, Liz Glotzer, Michael R. Williams, Tim White and Trevor White are all slated to produce and shooting is set to begin late September in New Orleans, Dallas and Washington, D.C.

The slow, rhythmic creaking of a rocking chair can be soothing… or disconcerting. In the case of our clip from Stewart Thorndike’s Lyle, it’s definitely the former. A psychological horror film that played at the Outfest Film Festival, Lyle is now available to watch in its entirety for free, and we have a clip featuring the lead actress wielding scissors for protection.
In an effort to address the lack of horror films directed by women, female Director/Writer Stewart Thorndike is in the process of making three female-centric horror movies. Lyle is the first of the three, and Putney, currently raising funds via a Kickstarter campaign, is the planned second entry. There are 44 days left of the Putney Kickstarter campaign, and Stewart recently announced that fans can watch Lyle for free on the movie’s website for the rest of the Putney Kickstarter campaign.

If you still have an affinity for books, there can be few more choice summer reads than Edmund White's 2005 autobiography, My Lives. Divided into nonlinear sections devoted to his relationships with his parents, his hustlers, and his female entanglements, there's also a chapter entitled "My Europe." Herein White notes how while in the Paris of the 1980s, he became aware that petite green beans are tastier than their larger cousins. He also recounts how the social theorist Michel Foucault, a pal of his, noted that while "'gay philosophy' and 'gay paintings' were meaningless notions...writing gay fiction was legitimate since it enabled us to imagine how gay men should live together."
Foucault apparently "felt that relationships between gay men were tenuous, undefined, still to be invented, and that gay fiction was the place where a vision of association could be worked out in concrete detail."
The same could be said of Lgbt cinema,...
