| Hollywood’s Finest Embrace Their Inner Villain for NY Times Photo Spread
The Christmas season is supposed to be a time for people to come together and be the best they can be to each other. That’s what you would think it’s supposed to be, but the New York Times Magazine is embracing their dark side for this month’s Great Performances issue with a special celebrity pictorial entitled “Touch of Evil.” For the “Touch of Evil” pictorial the NY Times Magazine employed thirteen of Hollywood’s biggest stars and best actors to portray icons of cinematic villainy: Brad Pitt, Mia Wasikowska, Kirsten Dunst, Rooney Mara, Jean Dujardin, Viola Davis, Adepero Oduye, Ryan Gosling, Glenn Close, Jessica Chastain, Michael Shannon, George Clooney, and Gary Oldman.

The grounds upon which I make this assumption are that there is no metal whatsoever in their “tribute.” Rock, Soul, Pop, R&B, Hip Hop, Post-Punk are all included in the company of Funk, Disco, and others. Metal (and related genres) are nowhere to be seen.
