Houston Rockets guard Kevin Porter Jr. has been accused of assaulting his girlfriend, a former WNBA player, inside a hotel in Manhattan. The victim is said to have suffered a fractured bone in her neck while Porter was choking her.
According to the NYPD and other police sources quoted in the media, the police received a 911 call for an assault at the hotel, after which they reached the hotel and arrested the 23-year-old pro baller. The incident took place at the four-star Millennium Hilton New York Hotel.
The police said they found Porter’s girlfriend, Kysre Gondrezick, with a cut on her face. She was also complaining of neck pain, according to the police. Porter is said to have beaten Gondrezick many times, placing his hands around her neck.
Reports indicate Gondrezick was sleeping and woke up when Porter began to beat her up. She was taken to a hospital...

There’s a scene in the penultimate episode of 13 Reasons Why in which everyone affected by the cassette tapes left behind by Hannah Baker - a 17-year-old high school student who recently committed suicide - discusses how much of her account is true. Throughout the series we’re told repeatedly that some tapes are outright lies, and that Hannah is simply trying to blackmail her classmates from beyond the grave.
By episode twelve, we’ve come to understand that this probably isn’t the case, and it’s as close to a twist as the series ever indulges in. While some events may have played out slightly differently, the...

If you’ve watched TV in the past 10 years, chances are you know Bear McCreary’s music. He’s become one of the most (if not the most) sought-after and prolific composers in television, ever since he came into his own writing the boundary-pushing score for the reimagined Battlestar Galactica series. He counts The Walking Dead, Outlander, Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles, and Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. among his credits. And this March theater-goers got to experience his music with a big screen presentation; he composed the chilling and thrilling score for J.J. Abrams’ 10 Cloverfield Lane. Today McCreary is juggling so many projects that he can’t count all his current TV shows and movies and video games — “I can’t even tell. I honestly don’t even know,” how many projects he’s in the midst of, he said during an interview at Cafe Laurent in Culver City, CA. The...

Last month, Netflix decided the time was ripe to make more Gilmore Girls. Soon after, we got details: Each of the reboot’s four, 90-minute-long “films” will take place during a different season. The announcement was loaded with the implication that show's creator Amy Sherman-Palladino would right the “wrongs” of the final season. This sentiment is nothing new. Over the years, the conversation around Gilmore Girls has often assumed one consensus: The show’s seventh and final season — the only without Sherman-Palladino at the helm — was an unmitigated disaster.The A.V. Club called it “problematic”; the New York Times said the final season had “cut the show’s heart out” and found its central conflicts “a bit of a stretch”; and there’s a Reddit thread dedicated to “The Infamous Season 7.” Prior to the revival announcement, Kevin Porter and Demi Adejuyigbe of Gilmore Guys — a podcast that dissects one...

Any ardent lover of Gilmore Girls has had those moments envisioning what life would be like dating Jess, Dean or Logan. The popular podcast Gilmore Guys, co-produced by Kevin Porter and Demi Adejuyigbe, has taken the conversation to a new level by going on tour.
Each live performance is cheekily called a "Town Meeting" in honor of the weekly ritual in Stars Hollow. Like fans before them, Porter and Adejuyigbe analyze the intricate relationships, but what makes this fandom unique is that Gilmore Girls stars are stepping on stage to join the commentary.

Less than a week to go until we all get to yell about The Newsroom again!
In the meantime, whet your appetite for more quixotic antics, flighty women, and Internet hate with this masterful video — an expansion of Kevin Porter’s original Aaron Sorkinisms supercut, now revamped to prove that Sorkin’s latest series is also something of a Frankenstein’s monster.
For what it’s worth, Porter doesn’t actually think Sorkin is a low-down self-plagiarist. “None of this flows out of bitterness or resentment, hatred or the desire to take someone down,” he explains in a Tumblr post.

Aaron Sorkin, the Emmy and Oscar winning writer, sure loves certain phrases and character quirks.
In the video below, Kevin Porter has cut together clips from TV shows "The Newsroom," "The West Wing," "Sports Night" and "Studio 60 On the Sunset Strip," as well as movies like "The Social Network" and "A Few Good Men," featuring characters using very similar quips, retorts and analogies. Expect a lot of "Belgium."
The Sorkinisms in "Sorkinisms II" aren't limited to just lines of dialogue, there are also quite a few actions -- and lots of glass breaking -- in the video below. Click here to watch the first video.
"The Newsroom" Season 2 premieres Sunday, July 14 at 10 p.m. Et on HBO.

The sequel to last year's Sorkinisms supercut went live today, and it thankfully includes clips from season one of The Newsroom. The original Sorkin tribute (currently clocking in at over 750,000 views on YouTube) used clips to point out "the recycled dialogue, recurring phrases, and familiar plot lines" used by the writer-director, who has since been in touch with creator Kevin Porter: "Aaron’s been incredibly kind and gracious in my correspondence with him and so I owe it to him to do the same here." Expect plenty of West Wing, Sports Night, Studio 60, and even a cameo from Sorkin himself, giving the 2012 commencement address to Syracuse University: "Welcome to the NFL."...

First there was the “Look here, internet girl” phenomenon and now there’s Kevin Porter‘s Supercut of recycled Aaron Sorkin dialogue, which is over 500,000 views so far on YouTube. The guy who wrote The Social Network is getting massively disrupted by viral internet commentary.
From Porter:
This video is a tribute to the work of Aaron Sorkin: the recycled dialogue, recurring phrases, and familiar plot lines. This is not intended as a critique but rather a playful excursion through Sorkin’s wonderful world of words.
Sorkin is a smart guy. When will he use the internet for his own witty riposte? (And, re the video collage itself, what do you think? Fair or foul?)… Read the rest...

We've all seen it by now: the viral video that proves Aaron Sorkin often steals material from... Aaron Sorkin.
Hitting the Internet not long after The Newsroom premiere, and created by a 22-year old video producer named Kevin Porter, Sorkinisms: A Supercut combines footage from all of Sorkin's projects - from Sports Night to The West Wing, A Few Good Men to The Newsroom - and makes it clear that this writer is a very big fan of certain phrases:
A Super Cut of Sorkinisms
But while some have used this as evidence against Sorkin's originality, Porter says he created it as “a tribute to the work of Aaron Sorkin."
Adding that his first crush was on Allison Janney, Porter said he began piecing the scenes together when he was 14.
“I started this project back in 2010, but I started it in my head a long time ago, probably when I...

Aaron Sorkin has long been one of the industry's highest-paid writers, and despite the tepid response to "The Newsroom," that's highly unlikely to change any time soon. However, here's something that could ultimately harm his reputation worse than any bad review or critical think piece. One incredibly discerning Sorkin viewer named Kevin Porter has assembled an intricate look at the phrases and conversations that come up over and over again in Sorkin's writing. Some of them are relatively minor. In a body of work as extensive as Sorkin's, it's not too unbelievable that many characters would say "You think?" or "You bet!" - but some really good lines noticeably come up again and again and again. His self-plagiarism has been common knowledge among Sorkin's devotees for a while now, but this comprehensive, already-viral supercut makes a damning case. The next time a studio buys a new Sorkin script, they'll...
