Went a little overboard today but we were behind on news plus the Emmys happened!

The Daily Harry Dean Stanton (RIP) --sorry we didn't cover this (!) but it happened in the midst of TIFF international flights and such
My New Plaid Pants good Orlando Bloom-ing morning to ya
My New Plaid Pants dueling Call Me By Your Name magazine covers
Junkee please don't call Call Me By Your Name "universal"
Women and Hollywood distribution deal for Emma Thompson in The Children Act marked for 2018

Lots more after the jump including mother! takes, Emmy aftermath, I Tonya, and the Younger season finale...

Coming Soon the first poster for the new Tomb Raider is here. Alicia Vikander's neck seems to have had some sort of Death Becomes Her style accident.
Film School Rejects on Angelina Jolie's First They Killed My Father which is now Cambodia's Oscar submission
Interview Mike Yerxa a self proclaimed "Tonya super fan" reviews I, Tonya
Collider Sebastian Stan talks I, Tonya and Avengers: Infinity War

mother!'s world
Vulture Angelica Jade Bastién makes a great case as to why Michelle Pfeiffer is so great in mother!
Medium a trans woman connects to the internalized gendered violence of Darren Aronofsky's Catholic films
AV Club on mother!'s "F" CinemaScore, a rare badge of honor

stage
Playbill Groundhog Day and Bandstand both closed on Broadway yesterday. Both will get national tours
...Corey Cott, leading man of Bandstand, has been retweeting fans singing songs
Theater Mania Beyoncé attended Dear Evan Hansen and the cast freaked out

TV
New York Times Darren Star & Sutton Foster on season finale of Younger
Towleroad Younger's Nico Tortorella gets more specific about his sexuality; embraces the bi label
/Film The PowerPuff Girls now have an older sis, Bliss, first PowerPuff girl of color
Towleroad awful "Christian" hate group One Million Moms already freaking out about Roseanne revival because Roseanne has a gender fluid grandchild

Emmy aftermath
Vanity Fair Emmy wrap-up
Variety everything we didn't see on TV that happened at the Emmys
EW Master of None's Lena Waithe makes Emmy history and gives great speech
Variety the first-ever Emmy for Music Supervision went to a woman and...
TFE... Chris previously put on a spotlight on her work in Big Little Lies here
Pajiba the internet was not thrilled with Sean Spicer's Emmy cameo. Another hair-tussling moment to normalize the evil of the T**** administration
Vanity Fair Veep, Atlanta, Master of None, and Better Call Saul all might be ineligible at the Emmys next year due to release dates. Wow, that could really shake things up... at least in Comedy categories. Drama will obviously go back to normal with Game of Thrones returning (sigh).

on and people still really don't get humor / sarcasm...
Boy Culture Jackie Hoffman's "damnit" when Laura Dern won was just her being her raucous comic self.

Another example...
Mark Harris was immediately "corrected" on a funny tweet because there is no sarcasm font on twitter.

P.S. Did you have a good time last night at your Emmy parties?

On that Powerpuff Girls news: Shame it didn't happen on a good show! If the recent Powerpuff Girls revival was good, that'd be great. Since it's not (in fact, it's really, really not), all this is, is AMMO. Ghostbusters 2016 x 1000 style ammo. The regressives DO NOT NEED AMMO.

Mr. Bailey's first task as AMPAS president should be to make the Michelle Pfeiffer article mandatory reading for all Oscar voters.

Powerpuff Girls 2016 list of "what were you thinking":

Bye Bye Bellum (Sara Bellum's departure episode, that also has a fashion nut villain)
Horn Sweet Horn (An episode of Bubbles being a pushy jerk recontextualized by producer comments as a commentary on "Trans" that the creators didn't intend)
Saved Multiple Times by THE MAYOR (Y'know, the show's idiot character?)
The Allegro Episodes (Bleeping Twerking Six Year Olds! And, yeah, I said EPISODES. That happened TWICE.)
Shapiro, one of the team putting in a Self Insert who has a crush on Blossom. Creepy.
Yeah, a show with that much baggage trying to be "progressive"? That ship has sailed.

I think that the Jackie Hoffman's reaction and comments are unnecessary even if she's joking. I say she really need to write "Laura Dern had famous parents. Forgive me for being from real people #elitism # Emmys2017"
Sounds like she trying to get attention.
I would have voted for Judy Davis.

That title is not 100% correct. I went to twitter and I did not start counting but I think the positive reactions are many. Anyway this was the only one of the monologue that made me laugh. I also like the song at the beginning but the monologue of Colbert bored me (except the appearance of Spicer)

Note: I am referring to the title Pajiba the internet was not thrilled with Sean Spicer's Emmy cameo. Another hair-tussling moment to normalize the evil of the T**** administration.

Die-hard fans of Game of Thrones were a bit disappointed with the newest season so it may not sweep next year.

Weren't you all pleasantly surprised when Donald Glover won the two statues? I wasn't expecting that to happen. I thought they would find the show too edgy and different.

Angelina shouldn't be part of the foreign film conversation. It feels like cheating. She will have 200 times more press than the others.

Apparently Dr. T and the Women got an F cinemascore. I guess average moviegoers find middle-grade Altman incredibly alienating.

For the record, Mahershala Ali was calling dropping the same tiresome and troublesome universalist message on the "Moonlight" circuit last year.

September 18, 2017 | Unregistered CommenterJonathan

everyone knows universal just means that straight, white audiences are able to summon a modicum of empathy watching the movie

September 18, 2017 | Unregistered Commenterbeyaccount

Looks like Alicia Vikander's face was photoshopped onto a stunt double.

September 18, 2017 | Unregistered CommenterBushwick

Years ago (was it in the Celluloid Closet?) I remember seeing Harvey Fierstein's reaction to people calling Torch Song Trilogy "universal". I'm paraphrasing, but he said something along the lines of "No, this movie isn't universal. It is about gay people. If you straight people can make the leap and feel connected to it, great. But for once we are not the ones having to making that leap."

Also, I totally love Jackie Hoffman. I would love her to have won, if only to see how hilarious her acceptance speech would have been.

September 18, 2017 | Unregistered CommenterErko

Game of Thrones deserve to win every Emmy it can get. No sighing needed.

September 18, 2017 | Unregistered CommenterCraver

The universal story is so tiring. My absolute pet hate is when people say "it is not a gay/black/female/disabled story, it's a HUMAN story." Like for fucks sake, are we actually unable to love, appreciate and admire something without it being about us?!

Shower valves have one to three outlets. The outlets we are talking about here would be where the water is directed when rotated. Single outlet shower valves control water pressure through its 180degree knob of cold to hot degrees. Double outlets separate entirely hot and cold knobs.
