W Magazine gets Tom Hiddleston stripped down (not an unusual triumph of late: see High-Rise)
i09 even though Sterling Archer may or may not be dead (cliffhangers. argh) Archer has been renewed for 3 more seasons. Yay!
Playbill Kristin Chenoweth is joining TV's next live musical, Hairspray in the Velma Von Tussle role (yup, the Debbie Harry / Michelle Pfeiffer part)
Gothamist the Bryant Park outdoor movie series begins. If you watch this footage this is why I never go! I've been once and omg the claustrophia and noise and inability to enjoy the movie (full disclaimer: I also hate summer which might have contributed to my distaste for outdoor summer events)
Kickstarter Here's an oddity. Apparently Todd Haynes and Christine Vachon who have brought us so much eventful art cinema in the past 25 years made short films before the films we know and they're trying to find them and restore them

Pajiba The Lego Movie predicted Donald Trump's current villany
Antagony & Ecstasy looooves Piper, the new Pixar short. It's true -- it's better than the feature that follows it.

Tracking Board glorious ginger viking Kristover Hivju, who devoted Film Experience readers know as a former nominee here for his perfect supporting work in Sweden's Force Majeure but who most of the world knows from Game of Thrones has joined the cast of Justice League
/Film a very long set visit report from Justice League. I know WB is trying to send the message that this will be fun but this sounds like a mess to me. Especially the part about Mother Boxes. I mean after Horcruxes and Infinity Stones who isn't sick of "collect these objects before the villain and win!" plots. SO DULL
MNPP why did Zach Snyder make this cut from the Batman & Lois bath scene?
Comics Alliance I wasn't aware that Tank Girl, a comic that once became a Lori Petty movie in the 90s, has been revived but it has. Tank Girl was always so cool looking. Still is
Coming Soon Wonder Woman herself, Lynda Carter, is joining the Supergirl TV show. Alas not as Wonder Woman but as POTUS. After all the fictional female presidents we've had over the years we better get a real one soon
Look.
It's the Looking movie trailer. Now I have to sob gay tears all over again that these beautiful characters will soon ascend to showbiz heaven never to be seen again. *sniffle*

Winslet going for her Geraldine Page crowning eighth nomination.
Chenowith! Perfect casting.
Winslet is going to get so much shit for this that I can only hope that she feels the role is worth it. Woody Allen's films haven't had anything new to say for a while IMO, but maybe he'll get inspired again. Wasn't she supposed to be in Match Point?
Chenoweth is brilliant, so this is exciting news!
"We always talk about it as almost like centuries of congealed blood from her victims on her breastplate." That's the costume designer. Talking about a DC Comics character. I know people say that it's DC Comics fans who say you just don't get it? Nope. It's Nolanites. Y'know, the kind who can look at Interstellar and not see the flaws swallowing the picture whole.
The trailer for "Looking" is already making me miss it. I thought the show was hitting a groove in season 2 and was hoping it would keep going. Ugh, Andrew Haigh is proving to be a master of depicting impossible love.
Is Dom just not getting a story, and is just another of Patrick's impossible relationships? Some cliched lines in that trailer, but I'm still so there. Frustrating show, but there was nothing else like it on TV.
Thank you so much for that link to My New Plaid Pants. How could the director of "300" take THAT out of his movie? !?!?!?!
I'm a bit fed up of this constant Hiddleston hype,it seems a bit contrived to me.
You know I love Pfeiifer, but she could have done so much more with the role of Velma. Too many years nursing kids, I guess. Chenoweth seems perfect.
Mixed feelings about Looking. I wanted more episodes, but the final scene at the barber shop was so beautiful that I don't know if we really need this appendix in the form of a TV-movie. I'll be watching, of course. Can't get enough Groffsauce.
