Musical theater as we know it is an American invention. Some shows, including everything Andrew Lloyd Webber, are created in London, and Les Miz is the only originally foreign language "classic" I can think of.
I live in Norway, a small country where it's hard for musical theatre to make sense economically.…

Grease Live is the best of the recent bunch of live TV musicals, and probably the best production of Grease ever.

That's what I was trying to get at - all adaptations are, or should be, separate works, using the parts of the material they want for their own gain and purpose.

I was more or less with this essay until he said "Good or bad, faithful or not, an adaptation should only be seen as supplementary material," which is a really frustrating stance. I don't see the difference between adapting a novel and being inspired by an experience. A film shouldn't have any obligations to a prior…

I'm googling to see whether Christopher Moynihan and Bobby Moynihan are related, and THERE'S NOTHING. As if no one has ever wondered. Nothing in their IMDbs or Wikipedia pages. Not even a forum discussion. Their ages are three years apart, and their names are Moynihan.

She left UnREAL halfway through this season.

She had the main role in Home, an animated movie with her and Jim Parsons, as well as a supporting part (shot for two weeks, I think) in the aforementioned Valerian and the City of a Thousand Planets. Also, small parts in the craptastic Annie remake, This is the End and Bring it On: All or Nothing.

That's unfair. She has had major roles in several features. The article even mentions praise for her role in an upcoming Luc Besson movie. Much more experience than Lady Gaga had when she was cast on American Horror Story, which was the first comparison I thought of.

The gelatinous blue weight loss cubes, served in a bowl of liquid on the set of The Informant! I have googled these several times over the years.

How did Real Time with Bill Maher get a nod for Outstanding Variety Talk Series, but The Late Show didn't?

Copyright lawyers have done some harm to the world, but region blocked advertising is probably their dumbest idea.

I actually think it's more a matter of how the script treats their terrible decisions. Jon completely abandoned plans he had laid, even after being warned about Ramsay's mind games, but the moment he charged against Ramsay's troops was meant to be perceived as a mistake. However, the show treated Sansa's wilful…

Yes. Yes, he was.

That's no reason to withhold information that could possibly have saved hundreds of lives.

Sophie Turner owned this episode, but I believe Sansa might be an idiot.

Game of Thrones has always been more about the medieval politics and family drama than fights and battle scenes for me, but damn it if those weren’t some amazing action sequences. And they spun something decent out of the weird, disconnected Tyrion plots of the season.
But honestly, why on EARTH would Sansa not tell…

I have to disagree with LaToya on the comment that "T-Pain’s work in this episode is comparable to Schoolboy Q’s in season four." Where Schoolboy Q was probably the only guest on the show who has actively drained energy from the other performers, T-Pain is totally engaged, and a shockingly gifted comedic performer.…

I've been to that place. It was the Turkish version of a hipster record store. This really sucks. Violently enforcing your religious views on other people is a shitty idea.

At least in marketing, tween refers to 9-14. The Disney Channel years.

I live in Norway, and Magic Mike XXL literally got an "approved for all" rating.
