Everyone From Lizzo to Mick Jagger Is Celebrating Joe Biden’s Presidential Victory
Actor Mandy Patinkin — who recently reunited with his Princess Bride cast mates for a table read in support of the Wisconsin Democratic Party — celebrated with a video of he and his wife, actress Kathryn Grody, dancing in Biden regalia. Patinkin has been using his Twitter to encourage voter turnout for months now, telling Rolling Stone: “If you are a citizen and do not exercise that power to vote, I am not exaggerating, that is a crime against humanity.” Considering this election had the highest voter turnout in the last 120 years, Patinkin has a lot to dance about Saturday. … [Read more...] about Everyone From Lizzo to Mick Jagger Is Celebrating Joe Biden’s Presidential Victory
The Partnership: How The Mother-Son Bond Between Sophia Loren And Director Edoardo Ponti Led To The Screen Icon’s Most Moving Role In ‘The Life Ahead’
It has been 11 years since Sophia Loren, the great Italian star and one of the only surviving icons of Hollywood’s Golden Age, last graced the screen. And longer still since she last took a leading role. After her Oscar-winning heyday in the ’50s and ’60s, Loren turned to the only passion that could match her love for cinema—motherhood—and focused her attention on raising first her two sons, Carlo, a classical music conductor, and Edoardo Ponti, a filmmaker, and then her grandchildren. The actress, whose co-stars have included Cary Grant, Clark Cable and Marcello Mastroianni, to name only a few, had never retired, and her love for performance never dimmed; simply, her priorities changed. … [Read more...] about The Partnership: How The Mother-Son Bond Between Sophia Loren And Director Edoardo Ponti Led To The Screen Icon’s Most Moving Role In ‘The Life Ahead’

And Finally… Turkey gate: Just when you thought Christmas and Thanksgiving was long gone, a row erupts over a turkey. It’s a grudge that has been simmering for more than 20 years, and for those involved, it is no poultry matter, as Richard Curtis went public with a claim that Friends ripped-off a turkey-on-the-head gag from Mr. Bean. Interviewed for ITV’s Happy Birthday Mr. Bean celebration documentary last weekend, Curtis said it was no coincidence that Bean’s 1992 antics were repeated by the hapless Joey in an episode of Friends around six years later. “I’m absolutely dazzled by the Friends thing. I only saw it the other day. I literally can’t believe that happened there. Bizarre,” Curtis said. “When we made the Bean movie in 1996, we decided to plagiarise ourselves and used the turkey on the head joke again. Also shooting in the 1990s was Friends, the famous American sitcom, and they stole the joke.” In the end, the … [Read more...] about International Insider: BBC Studios’ Stuttering CEO Search; BAFTA Voting; Netflix’s UK Reality Show Binge
On My Screen: ‘Palm Springs’ Andy Samberg On His TV & Film Favorites, His Secret Love Of Kidz Bop & How He Tortured Bill Hader
My Most Quoted Role For a while, it was just, “Dick in a Box.” A lot of, “I’m on a boat.” Now, with Brooklyn Nine-Nine, a lot of, “Cool, cool, cool, cool”, which I’ve also noticed that people say for real now. It’s really neat, because it came out of a take that me and Terry [Crews] did, where we were just improvising. He was like, “Right, right, right.” I’m like, “Cool, cool, cool, cool.” Then, the writers just kept popping it in, and it became a thing for Jake. For “Dick in a Box”, people didn’t even know my name. They just knew I was the guy with Justin Timberlake. If you make songs, people just say the song stuff. It’s a lot easier to make something a little hooky when you’re actually writing hooks. … [Read more...] about On My Screen: ‘Palm Springs’ Andy Samberg On His TV & Film Favorites, His Secret Love Of Kidz Bop & How He Tortured Bill Hader
