Fantastical

The digital team behind Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them has released a demo reel of some of the effects used throughout the film...



After watching it, the main thing you start to realize is that almost 90% of the film is CGI.

It's crazy how realistic special effects have become these days.

Updating Things

The new issues of Entertainment Weekly features the cast of Stranger Things and gives some good insight into the new season (and, obviously, a new curly-doo for Seven)...

Stranger Things season 2 begins nearly a year after the first installment, on Halloween in Hawkins, Indiana. (The boys are going as the Ghostbusters, naturally.) Will has rejoined his pals after being rescued from Things’ alternate dimension, the Upside Down. But all is not well with young Mr. Byers, as evidenced by the slug he coughed up in season 1’s final moments. “He seems to be seeing images from the Upside Down—the question is whether they’re real or not,” says co-creator Matt Duffer. “So it seems like he’s having some sort of post-traumatic stress disorder.”



If you haven't watched the first season yet on Netflix....DO.

It's fun and pretty awesome.

Season 2 will premiere on October 31st.

Richard Hatch

Very sad news today....

Richard Hatch, who starred alongside Lorne Greene and Dirk Benedict in the 1970s sci-fi series Battlestar Galactica, has died. He was 71.

Hatch earned a Golden Globe nomination for his role as Captain Apollo on the original Galactica, which was greenlighted amid Star Wars mania in the late 1970s. The series, which was expensive to produce and ended up airing only 21 episodes, also earned a Globes nom in 1979 for Outstanding Drama and won a pair of below-the-line Emmys.

After his signature role on Galactica, Hatch continued working in films and TV throughout his life. Along with more guest work on such hits as Murder, She Wrote, T.J. Hooker an arcs on Dynasty and Santa Barbara, he landed a recurring role as Tom Zarek on Sci-Fi Channel’s 2004-09 Battlestar Galactica series that was toplined by Edward James Oleos.

I loved the original Battlestar Galactica, so am sad to hear of his passing.

It's crazy how fast time flies...and scary.

He will be missed.

Moose Lambs

One of the funniest sketches SNL has done in a LONG time....



I didn't think it was possible for me to love Melissa McCarthy any more than I already did.

But, I do.

If you're a Seinfeld fanatic and have $400 laying around...you could own one of THESE scale models of Jerry's apartment...

It’s quite possibly one of the most recognizable apartments in TV history, and if you’ve been looking to fill a Costanza-sized hole in your heart ever since the show went off the air, you can now own a tiny replica of the Seinfeld apartment, recreated with an incredible attention to detail. 

Inside this 1:26-scale replica of Jerry’s apartment, which measures over 16-inches across, you’ll find over 100 miniature elements including furniture, plates and cups in the kitchen cupboards, an Apple Macintosh perched on a desk near the window, and even a working front door just waiting for a tiny Kramer to slide through.

Tiny Kramer.

That sounds like a sitcom that is probably already in development at one of the studios as I type this.

And I'd probably watch it.

A Hero

Here is a sneak peek at a very funny Kia commercial, starring Melissa McCarthy, that will be airing during the Super Bowl this weekend...



It's entertaining, but I really wish they would have allowed her swear in it.

Very few people on this planet can verbally assault the air with a barrage of obscenities like she can.

It's an art and it always slays me when she does it.

Always.

Star Trek: Discovery finally started filming over the past week. To help build some excitement, the studio has released a sneak-peek at some of the sets, costumes and other behind-the-scenes surprises...



After months of delays and rescheduling...it's nice to see that things are finally in motion.

Let's hope it doesn't suck.

The series is currently set to premiere in May on CBS All Access.
