So, recently I’ve been going through a lot of the horror franchises from start to finish and filling in gaps that I may have missed over the years.

One of those is the very much all over the place Texas Chainsaw Massacre series.

I just recently watched the 2017 Leatherface film, which is meant to act as a kind of origin story for Jed/Bubba/Junior Sawyer (all names from the series, btw), and something struck me about the actor that plays young Drayton Sawyer (the Cook in the original film and the first sequel).

Here’s Drayton in Leatherface (2017):

He looks (and sounds) a bit like another actor from the often forgotten, but for my money, most interesting entry in the franchise; Texas Chainsaw Massacre: The Next Generation (1995):

This guy would go on to be pretty popular, I’m told.

It really feels like Leatherface (2017) may have just connected the Sawyer family with the Slaughter family by casting a Matthew McConaughey look alike to play young Drayton Sawyer, meaning Vilmer Slaughter could easily be Drayton’s son, making the Slaughter family an off-shoot of the Sawyers (the Next Generation, even?)

Anyway, I’ve been thinking about this since I watched Leatherface and needed to share.

*side note*: I spelled McConaughey right on the first try and am damn pleased with myself

Dimo Alexiev in Caligula, dir. Javor Gardev

While we're on the "Stable" topic, ever since the first photos I saw, I can't get the idea Ewan there looks like this actor from my country-Dimo Alexiev,plus in The Face interview with the curly wig😅At the right angle especially, this is the best photo I could find for resemblance purposes 🤭

Personally, I don’t see it - the chin/jawline is all wrong. But could also be because I’m down so bad for Ewan that everyone else looks like the back end of a bus by comparison 😜

Техасская резня бензопилой. Кожаное лицо (Фильм 1989) Ужасы, триллер

Два студента, едущие на машине от одного побережья к другому, съезжают на заброшенную техасскую дорогу. Ну а тут их и встречает «Кожаное лицо» и его людоедская семейка с кровавыми руками и одной мыслью в голове: как бы кого-нибудь сожрать! Единственный шанс спастись — это иметь достаточно огневой мощи, чтобы снести «Кожаное лицо» и его плотоядную семью с лица земли. Режиссеры Александр Бустильо (Alexandre Bustillo) Жюльен Мори (Julien Maury) Актеры Стивен Дорфф (Stephen Dorff) Ванесса Грасс (Vanessa Grasse) Сэм Страйк (Sam Strike) Лили Тейлор (Lili Taylor) Финн Джонс (Finn Jones) Сэм Коулман (Sam Coleman) Джессика Мэдсен (Jessica Madsen) Джеймс Блур (James Bloor) Кристофер Адамсон (Christopher Adamson) Димо Алексиев (Dimo Alexiev)

Imagine Drayton and Nubbins taking little issue with taking turns casually hooking up with you. They even joke about it, saying they’ll have to let Jed marry you so neither of them gets to f/u/c/k you more than the other.

This truce immediately deteriorates during shark week, though. Then the two Sawyers threaten to make each other bleed while fighting for your attention.

The Expendables 2

BB.5 (out of 5) The wonderful multipack of eighties action stars that made up The Expendables was too irrepressibly fun a concept to be denied a sequel, and their return is a most welcome sight.  After getting old pal Arnold Schwarzenegger out of trouble and saving a kidnapped billionaire from a lot of bad guys, sleepy-eyed Sylvester Stallone and company are approached by pompous Bruce Willis and…
