TV & FILM STUFF

early behind the scenes sketches from Frozen / The Talk - Meryl Streep (also - Meryl Streep outfits and Star Wars characters) / mall episodes / on Greta Gerwig deciding to do a sitcom (also) / The War of the Roses / "unlike almost any female character on TV, she's truly floundering, and in the end may very well not succeed" / an interview with Nic Pizzolatto / Ghost World's accurate depiction of a friendship ending / random roles - Elliott Gould / David Fincher: A Film Title Retrospective / The History of Nick Offerman and Megan Mullally’s Marriage (I know it's impossible to really know what their marriage is like, but it seems wonderful) / kid casting (and speaking of child actors...) / the music of Arrested Development and Hannibal (plus - music supervisors) / former prisoners on Orange is the New Black / Brendan Fraser: The Movie Star that Hollywood Forgot (I will adore Blast from the Past forever) / I spent a long time reading through the archives of Rotten Tomatoes favorite film interview series - rolling my eyes at the actors who blatantly chose movies to impress people with their cinematic tastes / I love her dress
