| How Much Does It Cost to Attend Hogwarts? J.K. Rowling Explains Posted: Apparently "no" is right. Mic did a story calculating how much it would cost to attend Hogwarts, based on the price of tuition for British schools. Maybe this is "hypothetical" to Muggles, but it's super important information if your kid ends up getting one of those letters. After the story came out, a fan tweeted to J.K. Rowling that she and her friend were debating the cost of Hogwarts tuition. So the queen shared an official ruling: But where does The Ministry of Magic get the money -- wizard taxes? How much do they have to pay per student? Exactly what is covered? Rita Skeeter cannot be trusted to get to the bottom of this kind of thing, but Hermione Granger should be following the money so parents know what to expect. Want more stuff like this?

| Listen to 'Robin Williams,' CeeLo Green's Moving Tribute to Lost Comedy 'Heroes' Posted:  We don't know what the next man is going through, even when that man is famous for making us laugh. That's the message of CeeLo Green's new song "Robin Williams," the first single from his upcoming album "Heart Blanche," which is out in November. The song references the shocking news of Robin Williams's death by suicide -- which happened one year ago on August 11 -- and also references late celebrities John Belushi, Richard Pryor, Philip Seymour Hoffman, and Phil Hartman.Here are some of the lyrics: CeeLo shared two videos with the song, one featuring the full track and one with a teaser of the interactive video: It's a pretty catchy song, as well as poignant and powerful in its own way. 'Cause we don't know -- we don't know what demons even our heroes may be struggling to overcome. Want more stuff like this? Like us on Facebook.

| Key & Peele Educate Men With 'Menstruation Orientation' and Sing Feminist Pirate Chantey Posted:  Comedy Central's "Key & Peele" is only two episodes into its fifth season, but Keegan-Michael Key and Jordan Peele are already scoring points with women everywhere. See their progressive pirate sea chantey last week (video below) and the new "Menstruation Orientation" sketch -- which uses the b-word and f-bombs but also spreads awareness on how much women have to go through with their periods every single month. So just back the hell off and get your b-tch some chocolate!As Key and Peele explain during orientation (in colorful pimp suits): [Cue screaming and running around] They also illustrate how to use a tampon, and emphasize that whatever you have to deal with when the woman in your life is menstruating, it's much worse for her. So shut up about it. Watch: And in case you missed it, the premiere had the most wonderful, catchy and unexpectedly feminist sea chantey, which pirates emphasizing "We say yo ho, but we don't say 'ho,' cause 'ho' is disrespectful, yo." That will be stuck in your head for a long time -- but that's a good thing. "Key & Peele" airs Wednesdays at 10 p.m. on Comedy Central. Want more stuff like this? Like us on Facebook.

| How That 'Ant-Man' End Credits Scene Ties in to 'Civil War' Posted:  SPOILER WARNING: If you haven't seen "Ant-Man" yet, then read no further. There be lots of spoilers here. We all know how Marvel rolls by now: the movie ends, then during the end credits we usually get two short (but fun) scenes. "Avengers: Age of Ultron" broke this long-standing practice earlier this summer, but "Ant-Man" brings it back in a big way. In fact, it's last end credits scene comes from a different Marvel film entirely: "Captain America: Civil War." That's a big deal; it's the first time Marvel has used a scene excerpt this way from one of their other films. In fact, the Russo Brothers ("The Winter Soldier") directed the scene, which Kevin Feige decided to use for "Ant-Man" instead of what was planned, a more comical scene, according to an interview with iO9. So what does this scene entail? Here come the SPOILERS: After the first end credits stinger (no pun intended), which features Hank Pym (Michael Douglas) showing an upgraded version of the Wasp suit to his daughter, played by Evangeline Lilly, we drop in on Steve Rogers (Chris Evans). Cap is out of costume, moving stealth-like toward a man whose face we can't see -- with his arm confined by some device. The man looks up, and it's -- drum roll, please -- Bucky Barnes (Sebastian Stan), aka The Winter Soldier. This scene clearly takes place after the events of "Winter Soldier," where we last saw Cap and fellow Avenger Falcon taking off to find Steve's best friend-turned-HYRDA assassin.  Where this scene occurs in "Civil War," however, remains to be seen. (We assume early-ish in the film; think before the start of the second act.) Joined by Falcon and with Bucky in custody, it becomes a question of: what do we do now and how do we get our cargo out of here?Cap quickly shoots down Falcon's suggestion to contact Tony Stark for help, implying that the disagreement they had while chopping wood in "Age of Ultron" has boiled over into "Civil War." (Duh.) Also not an option? Calling in the New Avengers, last seen posing for their close-ups at the end of "Ultron." (Why they can't call on them isn't quite clear, indicating that either Cap is going full broken arrow here with this side-mission, or that most of those team members have sided with Tony in the pending conflict between allies.) As they way their options, Falcon gets an idea: "I know a guy." And yes, that guy is Scott Lang/Ant-Man, who we last saw duking it out with Falcon when Lang broke into Avengers HQ during his solo film. So Lang will play a significant role in the events of "Civil War," seemingly enlisting on the side of Team Captain America (for now). Also, this scene establishes that the events of "Ant-Man" run very closely to those of "Civil War," perhaps both films occur within a few months of each other. With Lang on the ground floor of "Operation: Breaking Out Bucky," that also sets up the possibility that Winter Soldier will have a role in the pending war between the Avengers. Is he Team Cap or Team Stark? Will his super-killer programming pit him once again against his best friend? We'll found out when This posting includes an audio/video/photo media file: Download Now |
| Watch Ian McKellen and Patrick Stewart (Hilariously) Join Taylor Swift Squad Posted:  No bad blood here -- it's all mad love!Ian McKellen sat down with Yahoo to promote his new movie "Mr. Holmes," and what better way to do that than to read off lyrics to Taylor Swift and Bruno Mars songs? Because Sir Ian can make anything and everything sound important and *Dramatic* -- even when wearing some kind of floral print shirt and beads -- here he is reciting Taylor's "Bad Blood" and Bruno's "Uptown Funk": There's something almost melancholy and wistful about his repetition of Bruno's "Don't believe me, just watch." He's imploring you. Come on. But you know who wants in on this? Patrick Stewart. Skipping over Bruno Mars, Sir PatStew tweeted a very polite request to Taylor Swift to join her squad, citing his and Ian's qualifications: Well, as it turns out, there was a Blank Space in Tay's squad, so she tweeted a fangirl message of her own: Here's Sir Patrick's ridiculously cute response: These kings truly are the ultimate squad goals -- and you should check out Moviefone's gallery below for more examples of how they have set the bar for the rest of us.

| Even Justin Bieber Non-Fans Think He Should've Won This 'Lip Sync Battle' Posted:  What a show! Both Justin Bieber and Deion Sanders brought their A-games to last night's "Lip Sync Battle" -- and by A-games we mean they both channeled their feminine sides and also played dress-up in ridiculous outfits. They sold their performances. But many fans -- even people who would never dream of defending Justin Bieber -- think he may have been robbed of a win. Not that Deion slacked, especially in his "Like a Virgin" crawl. That was magic. But JB completely committed to his Ozzy impression in "Crazy Train" and pulled a 180 for a cheeky but heartfelt rendition of Fergie's "Big Girls Don't Cry." Ozzy vs. Madonna was a close one, but when JB put on his "Big Girl" pants, he slayed Deion's "Play That Funky Music." The Biebs deserved to win just for the stones to open with that "surprise song," as host LL Cool J put it.Watch all four performances and decide who you think should've won. Congrats to Deion, but we would've gone the other way. Then again, maybe losing at LSB is the kind of thing that will just help Justin's reputation. A lot of commenting fans seem to think he did a great job and should've won. Now, maybe, instead of being seen as a spoiled brat, he's the unappreciated underdog. Want more stuff like this?

| Star Wars: Lucasfilm, Disney Did Not Approve 'Inappropriate' GQ Spread Posted:  If you felt a great disturbance in The Force after seeing GQ's new photo spread with Amy Schumer and some very sexualized "Star Wars" characters, you were not alone. Apparently the "Star Wars" bosses weren't happy either. From here, it seems like Lucasfilm and Disney are the most powerful forces in the galaxy, but multiple replies from the official "Star Wars" Twitter account to offended fans suggests their voices were silenced on the matter: That statement was issued over and over again to fans tweeting complaints to @StarWars. The spread is very un-Disney-like, so it's no surprise they would not approve ... but also maybe not want to make a huge deal about it because that might just send more curious people out looking for the photos?Comedians often aim for the irreverent, and anyone who has seen Amy Schumer's "Inside Amy Schumer" shouldn't be surprised to see her push boundaries when it comes to sex. But will the backlash affect her new movie "Trainwreck" or are the offended fans people who wouldn't be buying tickets to that anyway? Want more stuff like this? Like us on Facebook.

| Scott Weinger (a.k.a. Steve) Is Returning for 'Fuller House' Posted: Scott Weinger, who played D.J.'s boyfriend Steve on the show, will also be back for "Fuller House," though it's unclear just how big of a role he'll play (or how many episodes he'll appear in). Weinger revealed his casting on Twitter, posting a photo of a "Fuller House" script that appears to have been taken at a table read. (A placard with his name and character's name is also in the shot.) Steve recurred on "Full House" throughout the latter half of the series, dating D.J. (Candace Cameron Bure) beginning in season five and getting bumped up to a series regular in season six. His character went off to college and Weinger eventually left the show, though he popped up once more in the series finale to sweep D.J. off her feet. Though there are no details yet on just what Steve is doing back in the Tanner household, he'll be meeting a decidedly different D.J.: In "Fuller House," D.J. is pregnant and recently widowed, and she's raising two other kids alone. (The Hollywood Reporter also suggests that Steve could be D.J.'s deceased husband, appearing in flashbacks, though from the scant character descriptions we've gotten so far that doesn't seem too likely.) It sounds like heavy stuff, though the original series started the same way (swapping in Bob Saget's Danny as the widower), so we trust that showrunners will be able to weave in the sad back story organically. Weinger is just the latest familiar face to join the revival, with most of the original cast -- sans the Olsen twins -- set to return. "Fuller House" will hit Netflix sometime in 2016.

| Melissa Benoist Feels a Responsibility to 'Stay True' to 'Supergirl' Posted: For the new CBS series debuting in the fall, actress Melissa Benoist ("Glee," "Whiplash") takes on the iconic mantle of the Ingenue of Steel and her alter ego Kara Danvers, and during her first trip to Comic-Con International in San Diego she revealed all sorts of Super-details, from learning to throw a punch during her super-workout to dancing through the sky to a particularly constraining portion of that caped costume. Moviefone: Taking on this character, there's all the comic book history, there's Helen Slater's interpretation from the '80s, the animated version, Laura Vandervoort on "Smallville" -- what do you want to make out of this? Melissa Benoist: Wow! Well, obviously, there's a daunting feeling to arrive at a point where this is a character that is so developed and so many people already love. So there's responsibility, and I arrive wanting to just stay true to a lot of that. But what I want to bring is: I love her humanity, even though she is an alien. I love that she really has a lot of discovering to do and growth and makes mistakes. I think she's so relatable, and I just want to stay true to that. Did you audition with a Kara scene or Supergirl scene? I'm trying to remember. I think the auditions were Kara and Jimmy. Kara and Winn, for sure. And Kara and Cat. So I don't think there were any Supergirl [scenes]. Once you got the role, did you immediately run to the gym? [Laughs] Kind of! What did you do to get in Supergirl shape? Did you have to step up your workouts? Oh, yeah, I did. I immediately [did] -- I am such a pacifist in my everyday life. I don't think I've ever hit anyone before, and so I definitely had to learn technique. Like, how to actually punch someone and not hurt yourself more than you're hurting the person you're punching. And so boxing was part of it, and core work and Pilates and biometrics -- a lot of it. Did it change your mindset, getting yourself physically transformed? Yeah, yeah, the motivation there, and the drive, it definitely affects. Because I don't have a choice, and I can't sit down and be like, "Oh, I'm done. I want some popcorn." Like I have to stay on top of my game. What about the wirework for the flying sequences? It's hard. The wirework is really difficult, but so fun. And when you get it right, watching the result is exhilarating. It's a really, really cool feeling to know what it felt like, the energy I had to exert to create those flying scenes. And then the way they look is really rewarding. How did it feel to see yourself in the costume? There's this internal feeling. Something changes. It's this transformation, almost, to the point where I don't recognize myself when I'm in it. I feel like a different person. On a practical level, what do you love about the costume and what do you not love? That's a really good question [laughs]. I love that -- I grew up as a dancer, so it feels like a leotard and skirt and tights that I wore when I was a ballerina. But what is impractical or sometimes painful -- even though I think I'm very lucky in terms of my suit; I know a lot of people have masks that sweat and don't breathe at all -- mine has a corset. My cape is a corset, and so that sometimes when I'm on the wire is like... it's constricting. Are you doing your own stunts? I'm trying to do a lot of them because I want to. I think they're so fun. There are some that I just can't -- I really could get injured. But I'm trying to. My stunt double is amazing. She was Jen Garner's on "Alias." She's all over the place, and she's so cool. I wish people could see what they go through. It's insane. Are you trying to bring that dancer's grace to the flying and to the movement? Of course. What I think is cool is to try to bring kind of a femininity to her strength. You see Superman and it's obviously this solid thing. But I do like the idea of bringing in like a grace to it, and a fluidity and kind of this femininity to flying. It's fun. When you did this pilot, did you think this was a show that would get a series order? Yes and no. I think I was 50/50. I really believed in it. And I think I knew deep down that people would like it, especially like young girls. That's who I really wanted to affect. But, of course, there's always that moment where you're like, "Oh, man, I don't know what's going to happen." But now, I'm fairly certain that people are really excited, from what everyone's been saying. This posting includes an audio/video/photo media file: Download Now |
| Neill Blomkamp Reveals New 'Alien' Concept Art Featuring Ripley Posted:  Director Neill Blomkamp is showing off some nifty new concept art for his upcoming "Alien" flick, and it features some old favorites from the franchise.The illustrated image, which Blomkamp shared on his Instagram page, showcases Ellen Ripley (Sigourney Weaver) and Corporal Hicks (Michael Biehn), who both appear tense and serious. They're face to face with someone sporting a bulky, metallic-looking suit, which also has the South Korean flag on it. What any of that means is anyone's guess, but it's a cool inside look at the filmmaking process. As Blomkamp said in the picture's caption, the production is "going very well" and he "love[s] this project." It remains to be seen whether or not fans will love it, considering it will ignore the last two films in the franchise. But the return of Weaver and Biehn bodes well for the flick, and Blomkamp seems like such a fan of the material, that we're sure he'll do it justice. (Having original "Alien" director Ridley Scott on board as a producer doesn't hurt, either.) Stay tuned for more -- it seems Blomkamp is only just getting started offering fans behind-the-scenes glimpses of the project.

| Is the Network TV Sitcom Dying? Ask Jim Gaffigan Posted:  Wondering why some networks have all but given up on creating new sitcoms? Maybe Jim Gaffigan knows the answer.The stand-up comic, whose sitcom "The Jim Gaffigan Show" debuted on TV Land this week, has been promoting the show with interviews (including here, here, and here) where he explains why he took his new series to basic cable. According to Gaffigan, each broadcast network tried to shoehorn his autobiographical series into its preferred sitcom format, with less of an eye on what would make the show unique or good and more on what would make it test well with audiences and run long enough to be sold into syndication. That's where the real money is for a TV production company -- we're talking hundreds of millions of dollars for a successful series with at least 100 episodes in its library -- but to get there, the networks apparently believe that risk-avoidance is more important than preserving the idiosyncratic, personal voice that led them to pick up the show in the first place. In this case, that voice belongs to Gaffigan and his wife Jeannie, who has co-written his stand-up material and who serves as a writer and co-producer with her husband on the TV Land show. Initially, she'd have played herself, too, but the couple eventually decided it was better to have Jeannie focus her efforts behind the scenes, so Jim's on-screen Jeannie is played by Ashley Williams. Both Gaffigans say they feel the show is true to their life experience -- a showbiz couple raising a Catholic family of five kids in a cramped apartment in downtown Manhattan. It's not even like the usual complaint about network sitcoms applies to the Gaffigans' development woes. After all, Gaffigan prefers to work clean -- not out of any moral conviction, but because it suits his material, which is largely about snack food and babies. That doesnt mean his material doesn't border on the risque; Jim's penis is the source of running gags in two early episodes, though nothing is shown. Still, even that wasn't raunchy enough for CBS, which has had great success in recent years with "Two and a Half Men" (and other sexually frank Chuck Lorre shows) and "2 Broke Girls." According to Gaffigan, they actually wanted to make his show more vulgar and crass. Over at NBC, the Gaffigans say, the executives wanted each script's plot to follow a pattern, beginning with an "inciting event," followed by a complication that raises the stakes. These are the sort of tactics writers use to make audiences worry about the characters, so that they'll be more relatable and more likable. (Remember, this is the network that brought you "Seinfeld," "The Office," and "30 Rock," long-running shows about groups of generally unlikable people, with plots based more on the characters' inability to cope with the world than their tendency to rise to the occasion when faced with obstacles.) Many of the networks' objections to the show as the Gaffigans conceived it seemed to have less to do with subject matter, plotting, and character than they did with formal issues. Save for the pilot, the episodes start with sped-up montages of Jim and Jeannie interacting with their kids. (There's your raised stakes.) The show is shot on location in Manhattan, which is costly but lends the show an air of realism that makes the series' visuals look more like those of "Louie" than any current network sitcom. And it's shot single-camera, like "The Office," "30 Rock," or ABC's "Modern Family." (The comedian says CBS initially agreed to the single-camera format, then reversed itself and insisted on a multi-camera, studio-bound setup of the sort that CBS has been using since "I Love Lucy.") None of this is especially innovative or cutting-edge. In the pilot that aired on TV Land this week and the "Super Fun Daddy Day" episode that previewed on Amazon before that, there was little in the way of plot or character to distinguish "The Jim Gaffigan Show" from the wave of shlubby-guy-hot-wife shows that were CBS' bread and butter a decade ago ("Everybody Loves Raymond," "The King of Queens," "Yes, Dear," "Still Standing," and others that have worked for CBS going all the way back to "The Honeymooners" 60 years ago). What's unique about the series is its voice, which includes its visuals (New York is really another character), its rhythms, its obsession with food, its matter-of-fact portrayal of the family's Catholicism, and its satiric take on the vast gap between the parents' idealism and dreams and their shortcomings and dashed hopes. That sensibility, more than anything else, is what makes "The Jim Gaffigan Show" seem fresh and current. As he told the Daily Beast, "We're in this golden age of dramas, and with that and reality TV, the cadence of sitcoms seems inauthentic. So there's time for a single-camera show that's humorous, but based in reality." It's that sensibility that TV Land offered to preserve, the Gaffigans suggest. The executives there were much less particular; they just wanted 10 good episodes. If those draw viewers, then they can make more. If not, TV Land got the presitge of having Jim Gaffigan do a show, and the Gaffigans got to make the series they wanted to make. Why was TV Land so different? The Gaffigans don't say, but here are some possible reasons. As a basic cable channel, it doesn't need to worry about network-sized ratings or syndication sales to make money, so the bar for success is lower, and so are the stakes for any one series (there's that word again). TV Land chief Doug Herzog also oversees Comedy Central, where "Gaffigan" reruns will air almost immediately (giving the executive essentially a two-for-the-price-of-one deal), and where buzzworthy hits from "South Park" to "Inside Amy Schumer" have been built around the personal voices of original comedy minds, not cookie-cutter formulas. The networks have tried to make use of original comic voices before. Two decades ago, after the successes of "Roseanne," "Home Improvement," and "Seinfeld," the networks binged on shows built around stand-up comics -- but they made the shows all look and sound the same, with the stars playing overwhelmed parents or overwhelmed workplace drones. Gaffigan was part of that wave; his CBS show "Welcome to New York" was a workplace comedy built around him but largely taken out of his creative hands. It was canceled after 13 episodes. In the years since, he's become a hugely successful touring comic, to the point where TV needs him more than he needs TV. He was in a position this time to hold out until he got to make the show that he wanted, a waiting process that, as it turned out, lasted several years. So the networks' loss here is basic cable's gain. And Jim and Jeannie Gaffigan's experience here is probably typical. After all, Tina Fey, after a decade and a half with NBC, first took "Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt" there; they passed, and now it's an Emmy-nominated hit on Netflix. Like basic cable, the streaming sites would rather have buzz than syndication sales (at least, for now), which is why they've been only too happy to pick up sitcoms the networks have canceled for being too idiosyncratic and original, like "Arrested Development," "Community," and "The Mindy Project." The networks' reliance on formula for sitcoms is not only driving potential hits and shows they couldn't capitalize on toward other platforms, it's also driving creators away. (Gaffigan says he'll never work for a network again.) Will there come a time when broadcasters drive away their last remaining laugh-craving viewers, too?

| First 'The Revenant' Trailer Stars Leonardo DiCaprio and Heavy Breathing Posted:  The first trailer for Leonardo DiCaprio and director Alejandro G. Inarritu's collaboration "The Revenant" is here, and what it lacks in dialogue it makes up for with some breathtaking imagery -- and lots and lots of heavy breathing.DiCaprio stars in the period drama as Hugh Glass, a trapper who, according to the film's official logline, "must navigate a hostile environment, a brutal winter, and warring Native American tribes in relentless quest to survive and exact vengeance on the men who betrayed him." That's not all necessarily clear from this clip, though the "hostile" and "brutal" descriptors are right on the money; the world in this film looks rough and uninviting, and is teeming with chaos and violence around every turn. It's all seen more or less from Glass's point of view, and the thumping score gives way to the character's quick, labored breathing as the action intensifies and the clip climaxes. "I ain't afraid to die anymore," Glass says. "I've done it already." Based on his haggard appearance, his screams of frustration, his struggle to catch his breath, it's hard to argue with that assessment. Now, he just needs to figure out how to live. "The Revenant" is Innaritu's follow-up to his Oscar-winning "Birdman," and it seems clear he's gunning for another gold guy for this flick, too. The sumptuous cinematography and full-throttle pace suggest he may just get it. "The Revenant," also starring Tom Hardy, is due in theaters on December 25.

| Michael Cera Will Play Robin in 'LEGO Batman' Movie Posted: The Hollywood Reporter writes that Cera has just finalized a deal to play the plastic version of the comic character, alongside Will Arnett's titular hero. Arnett is reprising his role from 2014 hit "The LEGO Movie," which is being spun off into a tale centered around his brooding Batman. While there's no plot yet for "LEGO Batman," the flick will retain much of the creative team that made the first flick so fun. Directors Phil Lord and Chris Miller are producing the spinoff, and "LEGO Movie" animation supervisor Chris McKay is directing. Screenwriter Seth Grahame-Smith is penning the script. "LEGO Batman" will also be a reunion for Arnett and Cera, who starred together on "Arrested Development." That series is due for another round of episodes on Netflix sometime next year, though no official word has come down from the streaming service yet. THR also reports that Cera will serve as a writer on the series, too. "LEGO Batman" is due out on February 10, 2017, followed by another spinoff and "The LEGO Movie Sequel."

| 15 Marvel Origin Story Movies, Ranked From Worst to Best Posted: With great power, comes great responsibility. And a big-budget origin story. It's practically Hollywood Law that, if you're a comic book hero or team of heroes, your first movie is all about how you came to put on your mask, pick up your hammer, or first pop your claws. Especially if you fight for Marvel. Their latest hero to get the "Year One" treatment is Scott Lang (Paul Rudd) in "Ant-Man," which centers on the thief-turned-future Avenger as he dons the Ant-Man suit, shrinks in size, and commands insects. Because reasons. With "Ant-Man" hitting theaters this weekend, we decided to rank the best and worst origin stories based on Marvel characters.

| Posted:  If you're like us and value your sleep, you probably nodded off into your Ambien dreamland before the party started on post-prime time TV. Don't worry; we've got you covered. Here's the best of what happened last night on late night.Welcome to the "Point Pleasant Police Department," this time starring Jimmy Fallon and Bill Hader as two spitting cops. This has to be our favorite recurring "Tonight Show" skit of all time, so watch it and make your Friday that much better. Amy Schumer just got nominated for all the Emmy Awards ever, so she swung by "Late Night" to celebrate. By which we mean she talked about how she lives alone and is "super lonely."
