| 'The Good Fight' Trailer: 'The Good Wife' Spinoff Is Full of Scandal Posted:
CBS dropped the first full trailer Monday for its "Good Wife" spinoff, and the upcoming series' latest preview promises drama, seduction, and destruction. Set a year after the events of the final "Good Wife" episode, "The Good Fight" centers on lawyer Diane Lockhart (Christine Baranski) and her protégé, Maia Rindell (Rose Leslie). Both women find their world rocked after Maia's father is arrested on suspicion of running a massive Ponzi scheme -- one that seems to have wiped out Diane's retirement. In the trailer, we see the fallout for the women, both of whom end up being forced out of Lockhart & Lee. They end up joining forces with Lucca Quinn (Cush Jumbo) and moving to a new firm. From there, based on the title of the series, their fight will only begin. It should be a wild ride -- full of secrets, sex, and struggle, oh, my! "The Good Fight" premieres on CBS All Access on Feb. 19. This posting includes an audio/video/photo media file: Download Now |
| Watch the 'Girls' Season 6 Official Trailer and Prepare to Say Goodbye Posted:
HBO has dropped the official trailer for the series' sixth and final season. The new preview drops us back into the world of Hannah (Lena Dunham), Marnie (Allison Williams), Shoshanna (Zosia Mamet), and Jessa (Jemima Kirke), giving us more of their drama and growth as they close out their 20s. As usual, there will be struggles in every area of their lives, including work, love, and friendship. Knowing that the end is in sight makes the trailer is bittersweet, especially when Hannah outlines her goals for herself. "I want to write stories that make people feel less alone than I did," she says. "I want to make people laugh about the things in life that are painful." That's what Dunham's show has done for many over the years -- and will continue to do in Season 6. "Girls" Season 6 hits HBO on Sunday, Feb. 12 at 10 p.m. ET/PT.

| Showtime's 'Twin Peaks' Revival Finally Has a Premiere Date Posted:
The much-anticipated date was announced Monday at Showtime's TCA session. David Nevins, the premium network's president, revealed that fans can expect the continuation of the early '90s cult series to pick up on May 21. The premiere will kick off an 18-episode run. "It's really happening," Nevins said, according to Deadline. "It will be 18 unforgettable hours." Although "Twin Peaks" lovers have gotten used to waiting, they won't have to do so at first. Showtime has opted for a two-hour premiere, and on top of that, Episodes 3 and 4 will be available on Showtime's digital platform immediately after the two parts air. From there, though, the waiting game begins again. With "Twin Peaks" co-creator and director David Lynch being a proponent of weekly TV, new episodes will come once a week after the early batch, Nevins shared. The show will follow many familiar faces, including FBI Special Agent Dale Cooper (Kyle MacLachlan) and FBI Agent Gordon Cole (Lynch). The season is "about Agent Dale Cooper's odyssey to Twin Peaks," Nevins said. The 18-episode installment is designed as a limited series, but Nevins didn't completely shut the door on the idea of more "Twin Peaks," according to Deadline. Before worrying about the series' future, though, we'll enjoy Season 3. Get a slice of cherry pie ready for Showtime's "Twin Peaks" premiere on May 21 at 9 pm. ET/PT.

| Celebs Respond to Donald Trump Calling Meryl Streep 'Over-rated' on Twitter Posted:
A host of celebrities were quick to defend her after the president-elect called her "over-rated" in a predictable Twitter rant early Monday morning. She received support from a range of entertainment industry talents, including actors, musicians, writers, and filmmakers. Those who spoke up shared a variety of messages, but one of the most common themes was that the idea of Streep -- a three-time Academy Award winner -- being considered less than a legend was laughable. While Streep managed to go through her entire speech without once naming Trump, the same can't be said for many of the tweets below. Some of her defenders referred directly to the reality star-turned-politician and laid out their own criticisms, from questioning his judgment to calling him "childish." Needless to say, we probably haven't heard the end of this.

| 'Justice League' Is 'A Lot More Fun' Than 'Batman v Superman,' DC Writer Says Posted:
That's the word from screenwriter Will Beall, who's hard at work on the script for the upcoming "Aquaman" standalone feature, which is due out in 2018. Beall, who also wrote an early (and ultimately scrapped) version of "Justice League," recently spoke with Collider about DC's next big screen outings, and said a significant change was in store for fans. Here's what he told Collider:
That's certainly a diplomatic way of putting things, and should excite DC fans who were disappointed by the unrelenting darkness of "Dawn of Justice." "Justice League" is due in theaters on November 17. [via: Collider] This posting includes an audio/video/photo media file: Download Now |
| Golden Globes 2017: MMA Promoter Invites Meryl Streep to Attend Fight After Dissing Sport Posted:
In a message sent out after Sunday's ceremony wrapped, promoter Scott Coker tweeted about the brouhaha, and instead of slamming Streep, called her "very talented" and declared himself "a lifelong fan of [her] work." Coker then encouraged her to attend an upcoming fight as his personal guest, and learn more about MMA firsthand.
"The global sport of mixed martial arts celebrates male and female athletes from all around the world who work years tirelessly honing their craft and -- yes -- art," Coker wrote. The promoter added that the match he'd like to see Streep attend would prove that "Mixed Martial Arts is truly artistic." We'll see if Streep responds to Coker's message. It'd be pretty classy of her to accept the invite after such an odd dis, and if her speech on Sunday was any indication, the actress has plenty of that characteristic to go around.

| Golden Globes 2017: No, 'Hidden Fences' Is Not a Real Movie Posted:
That was the case during Sunday night's Golden Globe Awards when both Jenna Bush Hager and Michael Keaton accidentally called "Hidden Figures" -- a film about black female mathematicians who worked at NASA during the Space Race years -- "Hidden Fences," confusing the flick with another nominated film with a predominantly African-American cast, "Fences." Bush Hager made her gaffe while interviewing Pharrell before show began, asking him about his best original song nomination for "Hidden Fences." The musician didn't correct the TV personality, but it was clear from his raised eyebrows and stony expression that the flub didn't go unnoticed, either.
Bush Hager was roasted on social media for the error (she later issued an apology, which was accepted by Pharrell and members of the "Hidden Figures" cast), but sadly, it wasn't the last time someone mixed up the movies on Sunday. Later, while presenting the award for best supporting actress during the awards broadcast, Keaton made the same error, calling "Hidden Figures" "Hidden Fences" while reading the name of nominee Octavia Spencer. The New York Times diplomatically notes that Keaton may have been making a joke about Bush Hager's earlier flub ("Since the camera was focused on the actresses, it's unclear if Mr. Keaton said it with a wink and a nod," the NYT reports), but either way, Twitter users weren't pleased with the repeated mix-up. Some made jokes, but others wondered if Bush Hager and Keaton truly understood the difference between the two films.
Here's hoping that both red carpet personalities and awards presenters alike make sure they brush up on the names of both films before next month's Oscars telecast. [via: New York Times, Twitter] This posting includes an audio/video/photo media file: Download Now |
| Exclusive 'Pinocchio' Clip Reveals How Walt Disney Shaped a Masterpiece Posted: Walt Disney's "Pinocchio," largely thought of as one of the studio's very best animated features, is about to get the deluxe home video treatment, first on digital HD and Disney Movies Anywhere (out tomorrow) and then later this month on Blu-ray -- and we've got an exclusive look at one of the insanely cool special features. In this fascinating feature, culled from story meetings between February 1938 and July 1939 (the film would eventually be released in February of 1940), Walt's original notes are recreated verbatim. The subject at hand is the Boobyland sequence, which would eventually become the Pleasure Island sequence. Of course, that sequence wound up being one of the most memorable parts of a movie made up exclusively of memorable parts, and would go on to help inspire Disneyland's "Pinocchio" attraction as well as the entire Pleasure Island section of Walt Disney World (now home to the Disney Springs shopping complex). What makes this so compelling is that you can really hear Walt guiding the production. After "Pinocchio," especially during World War II, Walt would drift away from the day-to-day production challenges of each film, so to hear him, in his prime, getting down in the trenches with the creative principles. You can hear him advise on everything from the topicality of Pleasure Island to specific dialogue that characters would utter onscreen. You also get some lovely context from animation historian J.B. Kaufman and "Inside Out" director Pete Docter. The biggest takeaway from the clip, though, is that Pleasure Island was, initially at least, a much cuddlier place. It was Walt who pushed the artists and story men (and, yes, they were men back then) to go darker and stranger. And you know what? He was right. Part of what makes the final sequence so unforgettable, besides its peerless animation, is that it doesn't back down from the truly grotesque and terrifying. This is what made Walt the genius he's recognized as today–the ability to pinpoint something that might work perfectly fine but could be really special, and have those around him rally to make it truly outstanding. "Pinocchio" is on Digital HD and Disney Movies Anywhere tomorrow and hits Blu-ray on January 31st. This posting includes an audio/video/photo media file: Download Now |
| Emma Watson's Belle Doll Is More Beast Than Beauty Posted:
A doll collector noticed that something was off about the toy, and posted some pictures of the offending product on Flickr. Twitter users later picked up on the odd likeness, and took to the social media site to contemplate what went wrong. One dubbed it "terrifying," while others thought it looked more like Justin Bieber, or even former New York City mayor Rudy Giuliani, than it does Watson.
It's clear that the toymakers really did try their best to make the doll resemble Watson, and when viewed from the side, it looks like they kind of, sort of achieved their goal. But when looking at the doll head-on, there's no denying that something just isn't quite right about the figurine, and it mostly comes down to some pretty wonky proportions: The doll's head is too thin, its face is too long, and its hairline is way, way too high (that forehead just goes on forever, doesn't it?). It's also pretty unsettling how her freckles completely stop well before her hairline (and aren't present on the rest of her body, making them look more like a mistake than an intentional detail meant to mimic Watson's own freckles). We're sure Disney doesn't need any help selling movie tie-in merchandise, but it may want to rethink this particular uncanny valley item.

| Golden Globes 2017: The 5 Funniest Moments Posted: The 2017 Golden Globes gave us its fair share memorable moments. But one of the calling cards for the annual, alcohol-fueled ceremony is sending the audience (at home and at the event) into fits of laughter. Let's take a look back at the funniest moments from the 74th Golden Globe Awards. This posting includes an audio/video/photo media file: Download Now |
| Not Even Alexis Bledel Knows if There Will Be More 'Gilmore Girls' Posted:
Bledel addressed the future of "Gilmore" during an appearance at the Television Critics Association winter press tour this weekend, telling the assembled journalists that "A Year in the Life" was the result of a special set of circumstances. The ball really got rolling on the revival after the cast reunited at the 2015 ATX Fest, the actress explained, and there were two key factors that were necessary for it to come together in the first place -- and would need to happen again should Netflix decide it wants to make more. "I think most of us are just wanting to tell a good story, and I think that came together in 'A Year in the Life,'" Bledel told the TCA crowd. "The only thing I can say about a future installment of the show is it would be about the story and certainly the timing." According to The Hollywood Reporter, the actress also "stressed that there have been no talks about more episodes," and told the crowd, "I haven't heard anything. It hasn't been a conversation as of yet." Furthermore, Bledel said the decision would have to come down to "Gilmore" creator Amy Sherman-Palladino, who carefully shepherded the revival series with some very specific ideas -- like those famous "final four words" -- in mind. And that includes any speculation about the identity of (SPOILER ALERT) the father of Rory's unborn child, too. "It all lives in Amy's imagination," Bledel explained. "She has a very clear vision and always has." It certainly seems like fans want another installment of "A Year in the Life." We'll have to wait and see if Netflix and Sherman-Palladino grant that request. [via: The Hollywood Reporter] This posting includes an audio/video/photo media file: Download Now |
| 'Golden Girls' Is Coming to Hulu Next Month, So Stock Up on Cheesecake Now Posted:
Hulu made the news official during the Television Critics Association winter press tour this weekend, tweeting out the announcement to social media followers. And if that wasn't enough to excite eager fans, the streaming service revealed the perfect release date, too: February 13, a.k.a. Galentine's Day, our favorite holiday celebrating female friendship (which originated with another sitcom we loved, "Parks and Recreation").
According to Hulu's content chief, Craig Erwich, the idea to bring all 177 episodes of "Golden Girls" to the streaming service made plenty of sense, since the Emmy-winning series had never before been available in its entirety on a similar platform. And Hulu wants to appeal to the well-rounded television fan, Erwich explained, who likes everything from "Empire" to "South Park" to "Golden Girls," and many shows in between. Whatever the reasoning, we're grateful Hulu is gifting us with unlimited access to Dorothy, Rose, Blanche, and Sophia. We'll be counting down the days until its debut -- with plenty of cheesecake on hand. [via: Hulu/Twitter, Variety] This posting includes an audio/video/photo media file: Download Now |
| Golden Globes 2017: The 11 Best (and Worst) Moments Posted:
We also mean the emotional rollercoaster of surprise wins, speechmakers tearfully thankful for the sacrifices made by their supporting families, denunciations of President-elect Donald Trump, and the often cringe-worthy jokes made by emcee Jimmy Fallon and the presenters. Here are some of those highlights and lowlights. HONORABLE MENTION: Denzel's dead-in-the-eyes-but-still-awesome thumbs up is the GIF we need and deserve. WORST Most were lazy barbs about Donald Trump that came off sounding like sour grapes from the comic who made Trump look like a cuddly uncle last year by tousling the Republican's hair on "The Tonight Show." The best thing about the monologue: it was mercifully brief. BEST WORST BEST WORST Which was nicely done, but which meant that the fallen stars who meant a lot to fans worldwide got no love at all. Yet somehow, the show found time later to run a jokey montage of actors talking about their crappy first jobs -- a bit that they do live every year at the Screen Actors Guild Awards. BEST Yeah, it was a weird, dark bit, but Carell and Wiig delivered the material expertly and uproariously. WORST Brad Pitt, who's been keeping a low profile since the ugly allegations broke surrounding his split from Angelina Jolie, got an ovation just for showing his face in public (he was there to present the nominated drama "Moonlight," which he co-produced). Somewhere, with his laptop plunked on a table in a dimly lit Starbucks, "Birth of a Nation" writer-director Nate Parker is busy plotting his 2027 comeback. BEST She echoed a joke that "Night Manager" honoree Hugh Laurie had made earlier, that the Hollywood Foreign Press Association (which hands out the Globes) represented at least three groups (Hollywood, foreigners, and the press) out of favor with the incoming administration -- but unlike Laurie, Streep got a sustained laugh from the assembled stars. She noted the foreign births of some of the evening's biggest stars and added that, without such outsiders, "you'll have nothing to watch but football and mixed martial arts, which are not the arts." Whether or not you agreed with her sentiments, Streep offered the kind of unpredictable spontaneity and heart-stopping suspense that awards shows like the Globes usually go out of their way to avoid. WORST Plus, Stallone and Weathers had nothing much to say, except Stallone's churlish wish that he hadn't written a victory for Weathers' Apollo Creed into the "Rocky" screenplay. The only thing not anti-climactic about their appearance was their announcement of a Best Drama win for "Moonlight," a surprising choice ("Manchester by the Sea" was the crystal-ball pick) but also a richly deserving one.

| 'The Handmaid's Tale' First Trailer Is Pretty Horrifying Posted:
In the world of "The Handmaid's Tale," Elisabeth Moss's main character was once called June, but the new totalitarian regime calls her Offred -- meaning Of Fred, as the property of Commander Fred Waterford (Joseph Fiennes). Offred's job as a handmaid is to have sex with the Commander and produce offspring for him and his wife, Serena Joy (Yvonne Strahovski).

The (dark, and somewhat "Guardians"-like) new image shows five members of DC's Justice League, from left: Batman (Ben Affleck), Wonder Woman (Gal Gadot), Cyborg (Ray Fisher), The Flash (Ezra Miller), and Aquaman (Jason Momoa). As Collider noted, one guy is missing: "There's no Superman (Henry Cavill) because Superman is busy being dead." That is not expected to keep him busy forever, though. Director Zack Snyder teased the "Justice League" plot to USA Today, as Batman and Wonder Woman recruit a team of superheroes to battle a new threat to civilization. "It was all about the filling-out of this massive comic-book pantheon with the biggest and coolest heroes we could."

| Golden Globes 2017: Tom Hiddleston's South Sudan Speech Faces Backlash Posted:
Hiddleston was one of many winners for AMC's "The Night Manager," taking home Best Performance by an Actor in a Leading Role in a Series, Limited Series, or Motion Picture Made for TV. He was honored over Courtney B. Vance in "The People v. O.J.: American Crime Story," John Turturro in "The Night Of," Riz Ahmed in "The Night Of," and Bryan Cranston for All the Way." It's possible surprise and disappointment at Hiddleston's win over other nominees colored the reaction shots the camera got during his speech. Either way, Hiddleston's fellow celebs did not seem enthralled at his speech about visiting South Sudan and meeting people who enjoyed "The Night Manager," even during turmoil. Hiddleston mentioned working with the United Nations Children's Fund in South Sudan, when he was approached by a group from Doctors Without Borders who told him they binge-watched "The Night Manager" during the previous month's shelling. The actor said he was moved by the idea "that we could provide some relief and entertainment for people ... who are fixing the world in the places where it is broken." He dedicated his award "to those out there who are doing their best." Noble intentions, but many on Twitter were not impressed:
Hiddleston's loyal fans defended him in replies, understanding his intentions and calling attention to his consistent advocacy for UNICEF and South Sudan. (You can see his activism in his own Twitter feed.) Maybe his speech didn't quite connect, but he is certainly out there trying to help people, unlike many of the critics. He just went about it the wrong way this time. Not even Loki is perfect! [via: Entertainment Weekly] Want more stuff like this? Like us on Facebook.

| Donald Trump Calls Meryl Streep 'Overrated' After Golden Globes Speech Posted:
Here's what a couple of viewers posted well before Trump fired back:
The New York Times got the first quotes from Trump, early Monday morning after the Golden Globes broadcast. The President-elect said he had not seen Streep's speech, but he was "not surprised" that he was attacked by "liberal movie people," and dismissed Streep herself as "a Hillary lover." Later, Trump took to his favorite medium -- Twitter -- to share more thoughts on the speech:
In her speech, while accepting the Cecil B. DeMille Award, Streep mentioned that incident, when Trump appeared to mock a disabled reporter, saying it "kind of broke my heart." "Disrespect invites disrespect. Violence incites violence. When the powerful use their position to bully others, we all lose." Viewers seemed divided along party lines in response to the speech, and will probably remain divided after Trump's tweets. But at least Twitter had some fun with his quotes Monday morning, getting #ThingsTrumpThinksAreOverrated and Hillary Flunky trending with thousands of tweets. Want more stuff like this?

| Meryl Streep Calls Out Donald Trump in Bold Golden Globes Speech Posted:
Meryl Streep was already a legend before her speech at the 2017 Golden Globe Awards, but she gained another level of fame -- and, to some, infamy -- in her takedown of President-elect Donald Trump and his policies. Viola Davis presented Meryl Streep with the Cecil B. DeMille Award at the Golden Globes, and Streep zeroed in on Trump by mentioning the one performance that stood out most to her: When Trump was shown apparently mocking a disabled reporter: "There was nothing good about it, but it did its job," she said. "It kind of broke my heart when I saw it, and I still can't get it out my head because it wasn't in a movie, it was in real life. That instinct to humiliate when it's modeled by someone in a public platform, it filters down into everyone's life because it gives permission for others to do the same. ... Disrespect invites disrespect. Violence incites violence. When the powerful use their position to bully others, we all lose." She called for members of the press to do their jobs in holding Trump accountable, and asked others to help protect the press under Trump's administration. She ended her speech by quoting her friend Princess Leia, aka Carrie Fisher: "Take your broken heart, make it into art." The speech made waves online, with supporters praising it and Trump backers considering it more leftist Hollywood prattle.
Streep was not the only one to call out Trump. In his monologue, Jimmy Fallon joked that the Globes was "one of the few places left where America still honors the popular vote," and he also compared Trump to villain King Joffrey from "Game of Thrones": "What would it be like if King Joffrey had lived? Well, in 12 days we're going to find out." Donald Trump loves to react to public insults on Twitter, so it remains to be seen if he'll react to Streep's speech or any of Fallon's jokes.

The beleaguered Baudelaire orphans are back in Netflix's adaptation of the bestselling book series. Jim Carrey played Count Olaf in the 2004 film, but now Neil Patrick Harris is the scenery-chewing evil guardian who'll stop at nothing to get the three orphans's inheritance. The eight-episode first season -- co-starring Patrick Warburton, Joan Cusack, Catherine O'Hara, and Alfre Woodard; with Malina Weissman, Louis Hynes, and Presley Smith as Violet, Klaus, and Sunny Baudelaire -- arrives Friday, January 13.
Amazon's new crime series follows a con man (Giovanni Ribisi), who gets out of prison and finds himself hunted by the gangster he once robbed. He hides from his past by assuming the identity of his cellmate, Pete, "reuniting" with Pete's estranged family. Bryan Cranston, Marin Ireland, Margo Martindale, and Malcolm-Jamal Warner co-star in the drama, which arrives on Amazon January 13.
Jude Law plays controversial (and -- gasp! -- American) Pope Pius XIII in Paolo Sorrentino's 10-episode limited series. Law's Pope Pius, born Lenny Belardo, is the newly elected pontiff and former Archbishop of New York. Diane Keaton plays the American nun who raised the younger Belardo in an orphanage and is appointed his new personal secretary. James Cromwell and Scott Shepherd co-star in the series, which has already been given a second season.
Netflix put "The Crown" on Queen Elizabeth II, but PBS has the epic saga of Queen Victoria. Jenna Coleman and Rufus Sewell star in the ITV series, which is heading across the pond with a two-hour premiere on January 15. Here's the first episode synopsis: "The story of Queen Victoria, who ascended to the throne at age 18 in 1837, begins with the young Victoria struggling to assert control amidst plots to manipulate her. Her friendship with the prime minister, meanwhile, leads to a crisis in Parliament." ITV premiered this back in August in the U.K., and it has already been renewed for a second season, followed by a Christmas special, both to air in 2017. So PBS will probably get them around this time in 2018.
You had to know it was coming. In fact, some viewers knew exactly what Donald Trump would tweet about
