It’s hard to go in blind to any television show nowadays, with all of the coverage, behind-the-scenes, and spoiler chat that seem to be the cornerstone of marketing campaigns for any series with a hashtag and Twitter account. When you get that rare opportunity, having no idea what you’re about to get yourself into, it’s exciting not knowing what’s coming your way. This surprised, in-the-dark feeling is thematically apt given the subject matter of You, Me and the Apocalypse – humanity has 34 days to live thanks to an eight-mile-long comet hurtling towards the planet that’ll bring along a few earthquakes, tidal waves, acid fog, and essentially wipe the microbial floor with our remains.
Thanks to NBC’s weird-in-retrospect marketing, I went into the British-American series with the preconceived notion that You, Me and the Apocalypse was a quirky half-hour...

We may be in the golden age of superhero cinema, but here are some DC movies that never made it…
Naysayers would have you believe that Hollywood chucks bucket-loads of cash at any old comic book movie pitch that happens to float through their corner-office window, get stuck to their shoe or come to them miraculously as an on-the-toilet epiphany.
However, this is not the case, particularly with DC comics characters. While some films that do get made may seem like bog-fodder (oh hey, Green Lantern), there are plenty of comic adaptation pitches, in-development scripts and passion projects that have ended up not getting made for various reasons.
We had a rummage through the aeons of DC cinema history (also known as extensive Googling) and pulled together all the comic book movie projects we could find that ended up in the bin of crushed dreams for Batman, Superman and more.

Robin Williams brought laughter to even the darkest corners of the world. Throughout his life, the late actor traveled across the war-torn Middle East with the United Service Organizations, entertaining American troops stationed in Afghanistan, Baghdad and Kuwait. Secretary of Defense Chuck Hagel honored Williams on behalf of the Department of Defense on Monday, remembering his patriotism. "Robin was a gifted actor and comedian, but he was also a true friend and supporter of our troops," he said in a statement. "From entertaining thousands of service men and women in war zones, to his philanthropy that helped veterans struggling with hidden wounds of war,...

Part of Inside the Actors Studio is a questionnaire in which host James Lipton asks his guest the following question: "If heaven exists, what would you like to hear God say when you arrive at the pearly gates?" During Robin Williams's legendary appearance on the show (January 29, 2001 - more on that later), he used the question as an opportunity to do what he did best: Riff. "There's seating at the front," is his immediate answer. "The concert begins at five. It'll be Mozart, Elvis and one of your choosing." But then he lapses into sincerity. "If heaven exists, to know that there's laughter,...

Question: Any info on the Big Bang Theory season premiere? —Joey
Ausiello: For those curious about Sheldon’s whereabouts all summer, I can confirm that he did, in fact, get on that train (vs. just squatting in the station, as some have speculated). The bigger question you should be asking yourself is whether he ever stepped foot outside the train during his epic journey.

That's how long it took for critics to declare the first great film of Sundance. Usually the fest starts off slow, but this year, it kicked off with a literal drum roll: Miles Teller killed in the tense, blood-on-the drums Whiplash, a profane film about a monomaniacal music student's furious ambition, which remains one of the best-reviewed films of the festival five days in. The film sold to Sony Pictures Classics in double-time.

The 18th Busan International Film Festival (Biff) has unveiled 27 selections for this year’s Asian Cinema Fund (Acf) in the categories of Script Development, Post-production and Asian Network of Documentaries (And).Scroll down for full list
Out of a total of 438 submissions, Acf selected 16 non-Korean Asian projects and 11 Korean projects.
“When we’re looking at which projects to fund from around Asia, we try to choose the ones that would not be likely to get support from anywhere else except us. As for the Korean projects, we look at overall quality. And for all projects, we look for how prepared they are, and whether they have a new approach,” said Acf director Hong Hyosook.
She added that documentary submissions this year were particularly strong.
“We had about 90 Asian documentary submissions alone, about 30 more than last year. Overall, they were good in quality, well-prepared and planned out. We had a limited number of slots, so it was...

Watch the world premiere of the latest Bob Dylan music video, "Beyond Here Lies Nothin'," exclusively at IFC.com.
"Qui êtes-vous, Monsieur Bob Dylan?"
--Jean-Pierre Léaud, in "Masculin, féminine"
Who are you, Mr. Bob Dylan? Less than two years ago, Dylanologists had a field day with "I'm Not There," Todd Haynes' smarty-pants hallucination evoking the freewheelin' singer-songwriter's iconic persona, unknowable as he perpetually reinvents himself. But rock 'n' roll's poet laureate already had a history with film, both appearing onscreen and being portrayed by other actors. In honor of Dylan's tough-bird, rollicking new record "Together Through Life," I'm bringing it all back home with a re-evaluation of who fares better on film: Dylan himself, or his imposters?
Dylan as himself, "Dont Look Back" (1967) vs. Cate Blanchett as Jude, "I'm Not There" (2007)
Nobody could resist this most obvious of aesthetic match-ups, a battle between the two most sophisticated, evocative,...
