So I haven't kept up CW's The Flash at all, though I've heard good things. I mean, any show that can even dare to pull off King Shark or Gorilla Grodd on a TV budget deserves mad props. And apparently Barry Allen died? Or something? Seems about right for The Flash... Anyway a fourth season is on the way, and it doesn't look like it's pulling a Three And A Half Men and replacing the main... Read More...

Princess Diana married Prince Charles in a ceremony only fit for royalty in July 1981, but there are some facts about their big day that would make any bride feel a bit, well, nervous. Aside from having basically the whole world tune in to watch them tie the knot, Diana's walk down the aisle to reach Charles was painfully long. It took the princess, whose father pushed through his health problems to be able to walk with her, a whopping three and a half minutes to walk down the aisle in St Paul's Cathedral in London. Three and a half minutes! That walk can sometimes be the most nerve-wracking thing for a bride, so to have it be the length of an entire song (and in front of 3,000 guests) was surely no easy feat.

Enter The Defenders – the long-awaited all-star team at the heart of the Netflix Marvel universe. Four superheroes, all loners with radically different powers and personalities.

There's Luke Cage (Mike Colter), the bulletproof Harlem avenger, and the hard-boiled private eye Jessica Jones (Krysten Ritter). And then there's...

Viola Davis took home her first Oscar this year, and the phenomenal Fences and How to Get Away With Murder star had her biggest fan by her side: her husband, Julius Tennon. Viola and Julius, a theater veteran and TV actor, met on the set of City of Angels in 1999, just weeks after Viola prayed for a husband. "I was the loneliest woman in the world, and someone said, 'You should just pray for a husband,'" she told Page Six. "I said I wanted a big black man from the South who looked like a football player, who already had children, who maybe had been married before. Three and a half weeks later, I met my husband." The couple tied the knot in 2003 and recently renewed their vows with a star-studded second wedding ceremony; they share a daughter, Genesis, who they adopted as a newborn in 2011, as well as...

In 2014 I spoke with Dorota Kobiela and Hugh Welchman, respectively the writer/director and co-director/co-writer/producer of Loving Vincent, an animated film about the final days of Vincent Van Gogh’s life that was then in preproduction. Three and a half years and much blood, sweat and tears later the film is complete and premiered at the Annecy International Animated Film Festival last week. It’s been gaining attention since its initial failed Kickstarter campaign (a second go was more successful) for its production method, with a team of artists creating each frame in the style of Van Gogh with oil paint on canvas, the […]...

One of the big stories earlier this summer was Warcraft. The film, which spent years in production, finally came out and had an extremely bipolar outing in theaters. Overseas, the $160 million movie made a fantastic $433.5 million. Stateside? A measly $47 million.
Ouch.
But, aside from the financial story, there was the film's long and arduous production schedule that had people talking, as well as whether the final product lived up to what the film could have been. Director Duncan Jones, in a chat with Thrillist, spoke about the production and whether or not the final film reflected his vision.
Just how much of the filmmaker's life was taken up by Warcraft?
"Three and a half years. [Mute, his current project], from start to finish, will be one year. It's all about the decision-making process. When you make a studio film it's a bit like you're the captain of an oil tanker. If you want to...

"To keep your secret is wisdom; but to expect others to keep it is folly." No, 18th century essayist Samuel Johnson wasn't talking about viewership numbers for streaming services — but he might as well have been. Three and a half years on from Netflix's first foray into original programming — and content chief Ted Sarandos' simultaneous vow to keep its audience statistics private — a slew of companies are not-so-quietly gaming the system and outing stats from Netflix and its competitors. And while those ratings amount to little more than hearsay at the moment, they might

Nb: The following contains very minor spoilers for Batman V Superman
Whether you agreed with the icy critical reception given to Batman V Superman: Dawn Of Justice or not, one thing was for sure: you got an awful lot of superhero film for your money. The theatrical cut weighed in at a hefty 2 hours 33 minutes, while this summer's Ultimate Edition home release will break the three hour mark.
In a new interview with Pro Video Coalition, however, editor David Brenner reveals that an early cut of Batman V Superman came to almost four hours in length. Part of the reason, Benner explains, is down to the sheer number of intersecting storylines the movie switches between.

After weeks of speculation, WWE Intercontinental Champion Kevin Owens finally has an official opponent announced for WrestleMania 32. Well, make that six of them. It was made official Monday night during Raw that Owens will defend his belt in a ladder match against The Miz, Dolph Ziggler, Sami Zayn, Sin Cara, Zack Ryder (!), and Stardust in Dallas on April 3rd.
Zack Ryder’s inclusion is quite remarkable. He last appeared on PPV some 14 months ago as part of 30 competitors in the WWE Royal Rumble 2015 match. In fact, if you discount battle royals… his last PPV match was over Three And A Half Years Ago at Night Of Champions 2012 when he lost to Cesaro in a U.S. title match. Incredible.
Sami Zayn, Miz, and Ziggler each appeared early during Raw proclaiming that they wanted a shot at the Intercontinental strap. It was then announced that a triple threat match...

Vine’s six-second format has spawned a lively creative community, but it hasn’t built an advertising infrastructure to support those creators, and some of them are looking for change. According to BuzzFeed, several top Vine personalities recently met with the platform’s parent company, Twitter, to discuss the possibility of compensation for their work.
BuzzFeed’s report did not share the names of specific Vine stars who met with Twitter, nor did it reveal any money-making models discussed by the two sides. Instead, it offered the frustrations of the creators in question, who have not been able to take in any ad revenue despite scoring billions of loops on their six-second videos. “Three and a half years is a long time to have us posting on your platform for free,” said one Vine star. “There’s no war or bad blood, the creators just want to be treated fairly,...

Looks like we picked the wrong week to quit celebrating milestones.
Hard to believe it's been 35 years since "Airplane!" took flight (on July 2, 1980) and taught us all to speak jive, order the chicken instead of the fish, and avoid calling each other "Shirley." Three and a half decades later, the airline disaster parody remains one of the funniest films ever made, one that generations of viewers have watched over and over -- though probably never as an in-flight movie.
Still, as many times as you've seen it, there's much you may not know about how it was made. In honor of "Airplane!" turning 35, here are a few facts every fan must know about the comedy classic.
1. Strip away all the jokes, and "Airplane!" is essentially a remake of a little-known 1957 air disaster movie called "Zero Hour!" The writing/directing team of Jim Abrahams, David Zucker, and Jerry Zucker lifted the plot,...

With the Grammy Awards now more about moments than music these days (producers can put together all the "unexpected" artistic collaborations they want to onstage, it's the truth), there were just enough of those moments to keep audiences guessing at the 57th annual incarnation of the show, last night at L.A.'s Staples Center.

USA, 2015
3 And ½ Minutes, the new documentary about the tragic 2012 shooting death of Jordan Davis, tells an important story, but fails to frame it within a larger debate about racial injustice in America. While it manages to capture the pain and disillusionment of a family destroyed by senseless violence, its repetitive structure highlights the lack of a compelling viewpoint. It will fit perfectly into a televised format, but it struggles to maintain its urgency on the big screen.
The day after Thanksgiving, 2012, four black Jacksonville, Florida teenagers pulled into a gas station to grab a few sundries. Three and a half minutes later, one of them was dead and countless lives were forever changed. It’s a clear instance of cooler heads not prevailing, as a dispute over loud music escalated beyond any reasonable measure. An angry white motorist named Michael Dunn emptied his...

Two years ago, on the eve of his eagerly awaited Broadway revival of Death of a Salesman, I sat down with Mike Nichols to look back on his remarkable career. During those two-plus hours together at the Mark Hotel in Manhattan, the legendary director, then 80, reminisced about a life of highs and lows that began as a bright-eyed young boy who fled Nazi Germany for America. "I remember everything about getting on the boat in Germany in 1939," Nichols said. "I was 7, my brother was 3, and my father was already in New York setting up his practice as a doctor.

Censorship or an honest mistake? During Sunday's telecast of Neil deGrasse Tyson's “Cosmos,” Oklahoma City's Fox affiliate Kokh cut away from a segment discussing evolution to air a promo of the local news. “We are newcomers to the Cosmos,” Tyson started to explain in the clip. ”Our own story only begins on the last night of the cosmic year. It's 9:45 on New Year's Eve…” At this point, Kokh cut from the program to a commercial for the evening news.

In trying to create a film about slavery I barely knew where to start – until my partner, historian Bianca Stigter, uncovered a true account of slavery that blew our minds
Three and a half years before finishing the production of 12 Years a Slave I was lost.
I knew I wanted to tell a story about slavery, but where to start?
Finally, I had the idea of a free man kidnapped into bondage, but that's all I had. I was attracted to a story that had a main character any viewer could identify with, a free man who is captured and held against his will. For months I was trying to build a story around this beginning but not having great success until my partner Bianca Stigter, a historian, suggested that I take a look at true accounts of slavery.

Three and a half years before finishing the production of 12 Years a Slave I was lost.
I knew I wanted to tell a story about slavery, but where to start?

Three and a half years after it aired, can a Lost fan finally make his peace with the finale? Er, read on...
Warning: contains spoilers for - you guessed it - the Lost finale.
Like millions of others, I watched Lost with a sharply escalating sense of fascination and frustration, and I can’t imagine I’m alone in having felt more of the latter than the former. Over the course of six sensationally strange seasons we were treated to polar bears in paradise, malevolent smoke beasts, dead men walking, nuclear bombs, weird samurais, exploding freighters, a generous dollop of time travel and a wee visit to a parallel universe, to name-check but a few of Lost’s more outlandish narrative flourishes. Nothing wrong with all that. I didn’t tune in expecting gritty realism; I knew that Lost wasn’t The Wire Does Hawaii.

With his new superhero flick "Thor: The Dark World" set to hit theaters November 8th, Chris Hemsworth scored the cover spot of Details magazine's November 2013 issue.
While rocking a few poses for the Mark Seliger-shot spread, the 30-year-old actor chatted about his role as the thundergod and revealed the ups and downs of his busy, successful career.
Check out a few highlights from Mr. Hemsworth's interview below. For more, be sure to visit Details!
On playing Thor:
"Three and a half years playing the same character can be sort of mind-numbing. My character was in a fire, a cyclone, a helicopter crash, a plane crash. I was hoping for a big, dramatic death."
On his career:
"I've worked my a** off over the years, but I can't help but see that, relatively speaking, it all has been rather quick. No other job forces you to think about yourself this much.

There was a time in his career where Chris Hemsworth wasn't the Asgardian god in Marvel's Cinematic Universe. With "Thor: The Dark World" heading to theaters, Hemsworth is looking back on the job that started it all, when he was an Australian soap opera star on "Home and Away."
"We shot 20 scenes a day, five shows a week," Hemsworth tells Details magazine while posing for photos poolside. He appeared in 184 episodes of the series, playing a hunky writer and lifeguard names Kim Hyde. While the experience helped hone his craft, it wasn't all good times. "Three and a half years playing the same character can be sort of mind-numbing," he admits. "My character was in a fire, a cyclone, a helicopter crash, a plane crash. I was hoping for a big, dramatic death." He didn't get one though, instead his character simply moved away.

Wait a gosh darn second—was that a nipple?! Glee star Naya Rivera's debut single, "Sorry," which features her rapper boyfriend, Big Sean, hit iTunes today, and along with that release came the kinda Nsfw lyric video for the track (lyric videos are all the rage these days). However, it takes a couple of seconds to realize that the actress turned singer's sorry-i'm-not-sorry anthem is actually pretty racy! At first, all you see is a black background with the words to the song appearing in white, and you might think to yourself, "Really? Three and a half minutes of this?" Then you get a flash of a collarbone or a belly button or bare breasts and you come to the realization that...

-- "You hear nothing. You see nothing. You only serve." Such are the instructions Cecil Gaines receives as he embarks on his daunting new job at the Eisenhower White House in "Lee Daniels' The Butler."
But of course Gaines, played by Forest Whitaker in a moving, grounded performance that anchors the film and blunts its riskier excesses, hears and sees everything.
And that means that over more than three decades on the job, he has a Forrest Gump-like view not only of the White House under seven presidents, but of the long arc of the civil rights struggle in 20th-century America.
Much has been said about this movie's potential future as an Oscar powerhouse. The speculation is natural – especially given its star-studded cast – but it takes away from the more important discussion of its simpler virtues, as an absorbing film that has the potential to teach a new generation...

Three and a half years after her exit from Grey’s Anatomy, Katherine Heigl is looking to return to primetime as the lead of a new drama project, which has been shopped to broadcast and cable networks. NBC appears a strong contender, though I hear that there is interest/offers from multiple networks, so a decision likely won’t be made until next week. It’s written by Alexi Hawley, co-executive producer on Fox’s gritty new drama The Following, and I hear the procedural focuses on how the CIA handles hotspots around the globe, with Heigl playing an adviser/communications liaison for the U.S. president. I’ve learned that feature producer Robert Simonds (The Pink Panther) had been developing the project with Hawley, Heigl and a team of former senior CIA officials. Heigl, who I hear responded to the strong female character at the center of the show,...

"Live in the moment." It's a pat piece of advice we all get at some point in our lives, usually when we're being anxious or obsessive about something we can't control.
But living in the moment can be overrated – especially when everyone else is suddenly looking to the future. That's the predicament addressed in "The Spectacular Now," a pure gem of a teen romance graced with sparkling acting by its young leads, Miles Teller and Shailene Woodley, as high-school seniors falling awkwardly in love.
Teller, the lesser known of these two young stars, is a revelation as Sutter Keely, a witty, fast-talking, happy-go-lucky guy who oozes a sweet and cocky charm. Always ready with a quip or a glib excuse, he sounds something like a younger Vince Vaughn. (Others may recall John Cusack in his teen-flick days.) Sutter doesn't work too hard in school, but he's Ok with that. "This is our time,...

Diane Keaton. Mia Farrow. Dianne Wiest. Scarlett Johansson. Penelope Cruz.
To the long list of actresses who've thrived in Woody Allen films, it's now time to add Cate Blanchett. And in big, capital letters, because her spectacularly wrenching performance in Allen's latest, "Blue Jasmine," lives up to every bit of hype you may have heard.
As his fans well know, Allen, 77, keeps up the incredible pace of about a film a year, and had lately been focusing on frothy comedic fare – the whimsical hit "Midnight in Paris," and the less successful "From Rome with Love."
"Blue Jasmine," surely one of his meatiest films in years, finds him in different territory, both geographically – we're back on U.S. shores – and emotionally, addressing serious issues like the Bernard Madoff financial scandal and its social ramifications.
It's also a fascinating character study of a woman trying to keep her head above water, financially and mentally,...

"Fruitvale Station" is more than the dramatization of an obituary. It's about empathy.
In recounting (and slightly fictionalizing) the final day of 22-year-old Oscar Grant's life, first-time writer-director Ryan Coogler has made a film that piles small daily gestures – and one final, heartbreakingly tragic one – into an inspiring reminder about basic human decency.
That may sound trite, but "Fruitvale Station" – already a hit on the festival circuit – resonates not just for its portrait of injustice, but because its argument for treating strangers kindly, decently, comes at a time when fear and presumption often trump simple kindness, and the public sphere is navigated in cellphone bubbles.
In a star-making performance, Michael B. Jordan plays Oscar, the San Francisco Bay Area ex-convict and former drug dealer who, famously, was fatally shot by a transit police officer early on New Year's morning, 2009. The moment is glimpsed in raw cellphone footage at the start of "Fruitvale Station,...
