Arianna...Armia?

It's not like they'd actually pronounce it correctly even if she used her name.

BFFs

A new trailer for the Steven Spielberg-directed film BFG was just released....



This extended trailer gives you a lot more info about the story and the characters, especially the "BFG" (which stands for "Big FRIENDLY Giant"...not the other "F" word, which is what I originally thought, and hoped, it meant).

I'm definitely looking forward to seeing this when it opens on July 1st!

Yes, please

I want to go to there.

Now.

Leap of Faith

The first trailer for the Assassin's Creed movie (based on the popular video game) was just released today...



It looks a little like Crouching Tiger, Hidden X-Men.

And that's okay with me.

The movie leaps into theaters on December 21st.

That's a wrap

The Wonder Woman movie finished shooting this week...





I know that Gal Gadot is likely moving right into filming Justice League: Part 1 (which started production a couple of weeks ago), so she's gonna be very busy this summer.

The Wonder Woman movie opens June 2, 2017.

Exciting!

I can Handler

The trailer for Chelsea Handler's new Netflix talk show, Chelsea, was just released...



It looks like it could be a hoot and, quite possibly, a hollar!

I know that her humor isn't for everyone, but I think she's hilarious...so I'm gonna be all over this when it starts streaming tomorrow night, May 11th.

Isn't that special?

SNL had a long-overdue visit from the Church Lady on Saturday night where she interviewed Donald Trump and Ted Cruz...

“Donny there are those who say you’re not qualified and that’s not true. You know I remember a Celebrity Apprentice episode where Gary Busey didn’t sell enough pancakes and you just said ‘you’re fired’ and I thought right then and there, give that man the nuclear codes.”

Oh Lordy...I have missed her.

Game of Thrones: Behind the Scenes

A very cool video was just released that shows some of the creative ways that the Game of Thrones' effects teams worked their magic on the first two episodes of this season...

It's amazing how many large and very subtle effects are used within any given scene of the show.

Awesome.

Update: The video was taken down. However, I've found another video that showcases the variety of cool effects used on the show. 

Holla

James Corden released a new episode of Carpool Karaoke last night and, this time, it features Gwen Stefanie and a couple of "random" passengers who join them along the way....



Like the others, it's very entertaining and fun. Especially all of them singing "Hollar Back Girl" and "We are the Champions".

Just a side note: George Clooney and Julia Roberts never got in the car with me so that I could ride in the HOV lane when I lived in LA.

Bastards.

Afterglow

Claire Danes wore quite an illuminating dress at the Met Gala this week...

The actress made a show-stopping entrance in a whimsical sky-blue ball gown created by her longtime friend Zac Posen. The one-of-a-kind, hand-sewn creation was crafted from organza and fiber optics, which allowed the dress to light up in the dark.

The high-tech garment featured a voluminous skirt, and due to the sheer size of the dress, Danes and Posen made alternate travel arrangements. “Zac literally had a bus for me to get here, so I stood,” Danes told Vanity Fair as she escalated up the red carpet in her high-tech garment, with husband Hugh Dancy on one arm and Posen on the other arm for support. “I’m moving carefully. . . cautiously. I’m going to throw the after-party under my dress! It’s very spacious.” 

Danes, along with Beyoncé, Nicole Kidman, Amy Schumer, Katy Perry, Lady Gaga, and Katie Holmes were just some of the 600 high-profile figures to step out at the 2016 Met Gala to celebrate this year’s Costume Institute exhibition, “Manus x Machina: Fashion in an Age of Technology,” co-chaired by Taylor Swift, Idris Elba, Apple’s chief design officer Jony Ive, and Anna Wintour. Befitting the theme, metallic, backless gowns, sequined embroidery, sheer fabrics, and, as was the case with Danes, enough L.E.D. work to warrant another Tron reboot dominated the red-carpet fashion.

It looks like a Cinderella dress.

I bet the after-party under her dress was quite memorable.

Bourne again

The first official trailer for Jason Bourne was released recently...



It looks as exciting as the other three that Matt Damon starred in, which is a good sign. I didn't care for the Jeremy Renner one as much, so am happy to see Matt back in action now that he's returned safely from Mars.

The movie opens July 29th.

Witchy Woman

Well played, Game of Thrones.

Well played.

And this video does a great job conveying how people felt as they watched the final minutes of this episode...



Hilarious!!
