I usually don’t post on Fridays after Weekend Movie Guide goes up, and I usually leave the Jon Stewart stuff to the TV bloggers, but I couldn’t not post this.

Irish Willis Peele snapped a lot of photographs of Virginia “speed punk” band Front Line back in the 1980s, including this one, from a Dead Kennedys show in Richmond, Va. Peele says the guy in the center is William and Mary student Jon Leibowitz — who later moved to New York and now has a pretty successful comedy career under the name Jon Stewart. In case you’re wondering, it adds up — Stewart was at William and Mary until 1984. [Gawker]

I heard the Misfits were scheduled to play the same show, but backed out when the college ran out of soup.

Sidenote: Patton Oswalt also went to William and Mary. That should definitely be the first two bullet points in the brochure.

"After a while your agent stops calling and the next thing you know, you're doing movies with... well, you."

Opening Like The Gates Of Hell: One for the Money, The Grey, Man on a Ledge

FilmDrunk Suggests: I’m digging the previews for Man on a Ledge. Maybe it just looks better than it is because One for the Money previews air every six seconds, thanks to some half-tard exec who thinks that people still love Katherine Heigl.

I’m not usually in the habit of featuring single-serving Tumblrs (translation: please don’t send me yours, unless it’s really, really good), simply because there are so many great ones. Moustair, Manbabies, SelleckWaterfallSandwich… the list goes on and on, truly. But not since Asians Doing Christopher Walken Impressions has there been such an enjoyable repository of uber-specific celebrity worship. Internet, meet DeniroFacebook, a place to find all the best and worst versions of a specific facial expression associated with Robert Deniro. It’s a wonderful time to be alive.

BONUS: Here’s Andy Serkis’s Deniro face!

People truly underestimate the PR value of a pleasant-looking mugshot. For instance, this is Armie Hammer, star of The Social Network and J. Edgar, taken after an arrest in November (for some reason the mugshot only surfaced recently). No one seemed to care much about it, which I think would have to be different if he’d looked like this:

Lesson? Always smile for your mugshot.

The poster hit the other day, and now there’s a full trailer for Jeff Who Lives at Home, a Duplass Brothers comedy (Cyrus, The Puffy Chair) starring Ed Helms and Jason Segel, the two most likable dudes around outside of Paul Rudd and Sam Rockwell. Segel plays the titular Jeff, who lives at home in his mom’s basement like a blogger stereotype (I’ll admit, my hair does look almost exactly like that), and Helms plays his brother, whose wife (Judy Greer) is cheating on him (hence all hedge-hiding).

"Guys! Guys! I brought weed and pizza rolls!"

Marvel.com just released a batch of five new stills from The Avengers, and if these are any indication, the film will surely satisfy those fans desperate to see the Avengers staring intently at things and/or each other. Sarcasm aside, these were all incredibly boring. Everyone looked all serious and dour, so I thought they needed a dose of Chris Evans as Captain America, our little ray of sunshine. He’s such a rascal! (more after the jump)
