Rebecca and Josh are getting hitched in just one week – over Trent's dead body!
On Crazy Ex-Girlfriend Season 2 Episode 12, the stress of the #BunchofChans wedding is reaching its boiling point, leaving Rebecca wondering if she's Really 'okay,' while Josh realizes that he might be a guest at his own wedding.
Disappointing parents abound, and surprising heroes step up to bat to help make Rebecca's dream wedding a reality.
We should really just start chatting about it, don't you think?
Let's start with Nathaniel's life cleanse.
We know he's disgusted by his attraction to Rebecca – his song was one hilariously crass insult to her wrapped in romantic interludes.
The fact that it's bothering him to the the extent that he needs to green-juice her out of his system, and everything else that's ever entered his body, seems like one extreme case of denial.
This sounds a bit familiar, doesn't it?...

25. “Game of Thrones,” “The Winds of Winter”
This was a crucial season for “Game of Thrones” co-creators David Benioff and D.B. Weiss, who, in their sixth year nurturing this beast into life, had to go off-book for the first time since author George R.R. Martin had been outstripped by the TV series. Although the pair pulled off an epic ninth episode — the signature stunner in seasons past — it was the finale that came together the best this year. The opening sequence alone is worth the price of admission because it certainly brings words like “cinematic” to mind. Set to a gorgeous score by Ramin Djawadi, the scene was deftly shepherded by director Miguel Sapochnik to create an almost sadistic amount of tension as we waited for Cersei’s green revenge to be unleashed. Once the catastrophic event occurred though, that was not the end of the dragon ride for us viewers.

Rebecca and Valencia team up to stalk Josh's new squeeze in a disappointingly patchy episode of Crazy Ex-Girlfriend...

2.7 Who's That Cool Girl Josh Is Dating?
No-one would’ve expected, back when we were first introduced to Valencia back in season 1 episode 2, that we’d end up here. Back then, Valencia was the hot but mean yoga teacher in a long-established and apparently stable relationship, while Rebecca was the weird new girl in town whose determination to get close to both Valencia and her boyfriend kind of freaked everyone out. Now? Rebecca and Valencia are besties, brought together by their Josh Chan-broken hearts – and a fascination with Josh’s new girlfriend, Anna.
The episode’s main plot was another one of those zany farces Crazy Ex-Girlfriend has pulled off so well so many times before.

Josh's new girlfriend is super-cool.
It could be my longtime love of Brittany Snow that brings me to that conclusion, but Crazy Ex-Girlfriend Season 2 Episode 7 does a really phenomenal job of making Anna a lovable character, and in turn, making us hope she stays in Josh's life for a while.
Elsewhere in the hour, Paula's marriage is in turmoil, but it's nothing compared to the distance between her and Rebecca.
And Valencia is letting some of her own crazy ex-girlfriend traits come out.
Let's get into it Bunch-heads!
Josh: Before I met you, I didn't even know eyebrows were, like, a big deal.
Anna: That's what I love about you.
Josh: You love me?
Anna: Love About you.

I used to like guacamole; now I don't like guacamole.
If it worked on guacamole, it could work on Crazy Ex-Girlfriend.
Crazy Ex-Girlfriend Season 2 Episode 5 hit its own 'refresh' button on West Covina.
The task of writing out a series regular for most television shows requires something similar to the resetting of a chess board.
Every major piece needs to go back to where they started in order to move forward again, this time with a new strategy and a new endgame in mind.
What the writers of Crazy Ex-Girlfriend do with the series in the post-Greg era is move Rebecca and her friends forward with stories that satiate the drama of a love triangle, but showcase what Rachel Bloom and Aline Brosh-McKenna have been saying all along; this isn’t a show about romance.
And I'm not sold on this new normal – yet.

Reiser will play Dr. Owens, a high-ranking member within the Department of Energy on a “clean-up” assignment, tasked with containing the events of last year.
Astin will be Bob Newby, a kind-hearted former nerd who went to high school with Joyce (Winona Ryder) and Sheriff Hopper (David Harbour) and now manages the local Hawkins RadioShack.
Berthelsen will portray Roman, an emotionally damaged, magnetic young woman who suffered a great loss as a child. Although she doesn't live in Hawkins, she' mysteriously connected to the supernatural events at the lab.
In addition to Ryder and Harbour, they’ll join new series regulars Sadie Sink and Dacre Montgomery, along with the group we've come to love already, Joe Keery, Noah Schnapp, Finn Wolfhard, Gaten Matarazzo,...

Beyond the 19 films and TV shows that make up official on-screen “Star Trek” canon, there are quite a few more efforts that could, philosophically, be a part of this list.
There’s the rich legacy of officially licensed novels and comic books that brought the characters to life in print form. There’s the technology invented by production designers that eventually became real-life wizardry. There’s the 1999 film “Galaxy Quest” — technically a parody, but spiritually one of the best “Star Trek” movies ever made.

At a loss for what to watch this week? From new DVDs and Blu-rays, to what's streaming on Netflix, we've got you covered.
New on DVD and Blu-ray
"The Martian"
Unfortunately, the poster on this one was misleading -- they never actually let us bring Matt Damon home after seeing the movie. (His wife would probably disapprove.) You can, however, take home Ridley Scott's acclaimed Mars mission movie "The Martian" on DVD and Blu-ray starting January 12. The Blu-ray editions include more than 90 minutes of special features, including five "in-world" pieces, and featurettes from the cast, director, and producers. There's also a gag reel, which should be fun.
"Hotel Transylvania 2"
Drac's Pack is back in the sequel to "Hotel Transylvania," as they put the son of Mavis and Johnny through a "monster-in-training" boot camp to bring out his vampire side. The DVD, out January 12, includes feature commentary with the director and vocal cast,...

There are personal films, and there are personal films. "James White," a Sundance 2015 alum that opens in theaters this Friday, the film was shaped by writer/director Josh Mond's experiences after losing his mother. Christopher Abbott stars as the title character, and Cynthia Nixon, portrays James' mother Gail. All three join Indiewire Editor in Chief Dana Harris on this week's episode of Indiewire Influencers. Having previously worked on "Martha Marcy May Marlene," which Mond co-produced, Abbott and Mond worked together to craft the James White character. "Me and Josh, we had, and have, a rapport," Abbott said. "I trusted him and he trusted me to do what I do. That, in itself is a blessing." For Nixon, coming from outside that inner circle and playing someone personally known by many of the cast and crew, was a welcoming experience. "I feel like my role on the set was sort of like the.

January is looking to be one of the coldest months we’ve seen in the United States in a long while, but there’s no real reason to go outside anyway now that FX and Fxx has unveiled premiere dates for a host of their original series, including modern Western Justified, animated spy comedy Archer and Cold War espionage drama The Americans. Also on the cards for January are the return of enduring comedy It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia and the series premiere of Fxx’s comedy Man Seeking Woman.
Up first is Archer, which will return for its sixth season on January 8th, at 10 p.m. on FX. The network’s #1 rated comedy series, Archer revolves around an international spy agency and the lives of its employees.

Since Frank Underwood became president on Netflix’s House of Cards, I’ve had this geek fantasy of him debating Josiah Bartlet, Martin Sheen’s idealistic and professorial president from The West Wing. Bartlet’s Washington, D.C., was the proverbial shining city on a hill, a place where intelligent, well-intentioned people gravitated to do the peoples’ business. Underwood’s capital is the nasty underbelly of a trough coated by man’s craven pursuit of power for power’s sake. It’s practically Kennedy’s Camelot versus Nixononian realpolitik. To paraphrase Anthony Hopkins’ Nixon in Oliver Stone’s 1995 movie, “When look at The West Wing,...

With executive producers/writers Larry Charles, Matt Nix, Ben Wexler, and Billy Crystal, FX‘s new sit-com order for The Comedians should be about the closest thing television has to a slam dunk. Add Josh Gad to the cast, and build it off of something we already know is a pretty solid format, and it looks like FX has the next great show locked up.
Having just announced a 13-episode order based on the Swedish show of the same name, this is one you’re going to hear about a lot in the future, and by the time it rolls around, a lot of people are going to be pretty excited for this one. It’s one thing to build a new version of a show that is, reportedly, already a strong series, but it’s quite another to throw in a mix of Arrested Development, Burn Notice, and Curb Your Enthusiasm.

Lydia Davis supposedly died in the plane crash at the end of "Revenge" Season 1, but in the final moments of "Secrecy," the show's last Season 3 November sweeps entry, we learned that the shamed socialite is actually alive and well. What?!
We probably should've seen that coming, considering Victoria managed to make it through too, but still: waiting a full season and a third to bring Amber Valletta's character back shows impressive restraint, and was just the soap opera-style twist the show needed to keep Season 3 much more fresh and interesting than Season 2, which lost its way for a while.
"I was pleasantly surprised and really excited to be back," Valletta tells TV Guide magazine of her triumphant return. She's known she'd be back "for months," but it's been hard to keep it a secret. "Sunil [Nayar, the new showrunner] told me he put Lydia's name up on the writers' planning board when he took over,...

Syfy has ordered an amazing-sounding reality series. Jim Henson’s Creature Shop Challenge will basically be the creature version of Face Off with Jim Henson‘s son, Brian Henson as lead judge.
CBS has made it possible to watch the pilot Super Clyde online. The rejected comedy, from Raising Hope and My Name is Earl producer Greg Garcia, starred Rupert Grint as a fast food worker who receives an inheritance and uses it to become a superhero. Stephen Fry plays Clyde‘s butler, Tyler Labine plays Clyde’s brother and overall the pilot shows a frustrating amount of promise. Even if there won’t be more episodes, it’s worth watching for fans of Garcia’s previous shows.

It’s official. Jennie Garth has joined Tori Spelling‘s ABC Family pilot Mystery Girls.

Syfy has ordered an amazing-sounding reality series. Jim Henson’s Creature Shop Challenge will basically be the creature version of Face Off with Jim Henson‘s son, Brian Henson as lead judge.
CBS has made it possible to watch the pilot Super Clyde online. The rejected comedy, from Raising Hope and My Name is Earl producer Greg Garcia, starred Rupert Grint as a fast food worker who receives an inheritance and uses it to become a superhero. Stephen Fry plays Clyde‘s butler, Tyler Labine plays Clyde’s brother and overall the pilot shows a frustrating amount of promise.

Tori Spelling‘s ABC Family pilot Mystery Girls might turn into a 90210 reunion as TVLine reports that Jennie Garth is likely to be cast as Spelling’s co-star. Since Mystery Girls is about the two stars of a cancelled mystery drama who find themselves solving real crimes. I think this calls for 90210 fanfic about how Donna Martin and Kelly Taylor open a detective agency.
Sorry Camp fans, you’ll have to spend next summer someplace else. NBC has cancelled the summer dramedy.
I know some of you will miss Camp‘s gay dads.
Switched at Birth‘s Katie Leclerc will get to further show off her comedy chops when she makes a guest appearance on Community as a woman who teaches Abed sign language.

While I would have preferred a Gotham Central TV series, Fox has won the bidding war over Gotham, a series that follows future police commissioner Jim Gordon in the days before he meets Batman.
Jack Coleman, who I think might be the only person to play two different gay characters on the same night of TV (thanks to gay roles on The Office and The Vampire Diaries) will appear in a recurring role on the upcoming season of Scandal.
In news that makes me happy, FX has ordered a second season of The Bridge. I’m looking forward to seeing Sonya and Marco continue to be TV’s oddest odd-couple cops. I’m also hoping they find a way to keep Matthew Lilard around. He makes more sense than some of The Bridge‘s other peripheral characters.

If you heard an “Uuuugggh” across the internet, that probably was because AMC announced that the final season of Mad Men would be split in half.

So far, AMC hasn’t been able to find new shows to replace the three dramas that put the channel on the map so it trying to get more out of those three shows.
Deadline reports that scream queen Jamie Lee Curtis is teaming with horror director Steve Miner (Miner worked on the first Friday the 13th and directed the second and third installments, he went on to direct Curtis in Halloween H20) for a horror-themed pilot for ABC Family.

TVLine reports that Lady Gaga will be appearing on Saturday Night Live as musical guest and host. After watching her perform in sketches with Justin Timberlake, I’m eager to see more.
In an interview with The Av Club, Futurama co-creator David X. Cohen says tonight’s farewell required some special planning to get right, “For the scenes between Fry and Leela in the final episode, for example, Katey Sagal was very busy, because she’s shooting Sons Of Anarchy at the same time she’s recording Futurama.

He may have been promoting his new thriller "Scenic Route," but Josh Duhamel had baby on the brain during his appearance on "The Tonight Show with Jay Leno" on Tuesday (August 27).
Though pressed to reveal he and Fergie's name for the little boy, the 40-year-old actor was tight-lipped and stayed true to his promise, though noted that the name was "pretty normal."
Earlier, the proud papa-to-be asked his Facebook fans what the worst name would be, sharing, "The one that actually won, being a big Vikings fan, somebody suggested Aaron Rodgers Duhamel and that actually won the grand prize." (Rodgers is a quarterback for the Vikings rival team, the Green Bay Packers).
Later in the interview, Josh talked about helping their dog Zoe adjust to life with the impending bundle of joy, contacting the Dog Whisperer himself, Caesar Milan, to help. In awe of his skills, Mr. Duhamel says, "It's...

Chennai, April 25: Telugu actor Sunil Varma, who shares screen space with Naga Chaitanya in upcoming action-drama "Thadaka", feels that the latter is one of the fast evolving mass heroes in the industry.
"I played his (Chaitanya) friend in his debut film 'Josh' and play his co-star in 'Thadaka'. The transformation I see in him now is unbelievable because he played a lover boy then, and now plays a completely mass-appealing character. It's not easy to evolve as a mass hero in such a short period of time," Sunil told Ians.
"I'm sure audiences are going to love the biggest highlight of the film - the fights featuring him. Sooner.

After the sleek and shiny Victory Tour posters for The Hunger Games: Catching Fire, the poster campaign for the anticipated fall sequel continues to be pretty damn cool. The viral Facebook page for the sequel, The Capitol Pn, has debuted a new Tumblr called Capital Couture, which has been releasing some pretty cool character portrait posters as painted by The Capitol. Effie (Elizabeth Banks), Caesar (Stanley Tucci), Haymitch (Woody Harrelson), and Cinna (Lenny Kravitz) are the first to get their own portraits. Two are being released each day, and we're not sure how many posters there are so stay tuned. Look below! Here are five character portrait posters from The Capitol Pn for The Hunger Games: Catching Fire: Update! Also just debuted is the poster for Jennifer Lawrence as Katniss.

Welcome back to Fashion Week in Panem, where this time the focus is on Jennifer Lawrence's Katniss (whose portrait launched unexpectedly early via MSN, and whose costume looks like many birds and yards of lace were sacrified on its behalf) and the more understated style of clothes consultant Cinna and former Hunger Games victor Haymitch Abernathy, who smartens up a little for the occasion. While yesterday saw the arrival of portraits for Effie Trinket (Elizabeth Banks) and the elaborately coiffed Caesar Flickerman (Stanley Tucci), Katniss is dressed extravagently, while Cinna (Lenny Kravitz) opts instead for a more low-key look of leather, albeit highlighted by his trademark gold eyeliner. Haymitch (Woody Harrelson), meanwhile, keeps it even more casual in a sporty suit (poster via IGN).Because Cinna and Haymitch are definitely on the side of Katniss and Peeta, they've got to maintain appearances for the people of the Capitol, most...

Josh McEachran, Kieron Dyer and Sammy Ameobi are all ineligible, while Lukas Jutkiewicz (ankle) and Jonathan Woodgate (calf), miss out through injury. Long-term absentees Stuart Parnaby, Justin Hoyte and Julio Arca also remain out.
Chelsea will be without defenders Gary Cahill (illness) and Cesar Azpilicueta (leg injury), meaning John Terry could come into contention having sat out his side’s 2-0 defeat to champions Manchester City at the weekend.

Bill Pullman is no stranger to the fictional presidency, having played the commander-in-chief in "Independence Day," but his latest role as President Dale Gilchrist on NBC's "1600 Penn" is pretty far removed from the 1996 blockbuster.
The comedy series aims to make the first family more relatable, dealing with problems like unplanned pregnancy, adult kids being forced to move back in with their parents, and the friction between a stepmother and her new children.
Created by star Josh Gad (who plays oldest son Skip Gilchrist), Jon Lovett and Jason Winer, the show also co-stars Jenna Elfman as First Lady Emily; Martha MacIsaac, Amara Miller and Benjamin Stockham as the other Gilchrist kids; and Andre Holland as press secretary Marshall Malloy.
Below, see what Pullman told HuffPost TV about returning to comedy, the complicated dynamics within the Gilchrist family and his top tips for playing the president.

Born in the Big Apple in january of 1951, Sheldon Lettich moved with his family to the West Coast at a young age. After finishing High School, he joined the Marine Corps, serving his country for four years, one of them as a Radio Operator in Vietnam.
Partially based upon his experiences in Southeast Asia, he co-authored Tracers, a play seen in the Los Angeles, New York City, Chicago and London stages, to great acclaim; It subsequently won the prestigious Drama Desk and L.A. Drama Critics Awards.

What year am I in? That’s what I kept thinking when watching these clips. I felt like I was seeing a storyline from 1999, not 2012. I realize that gays are still being bashed today all over the world, but it was just the mood and the way the story was told that seemed like a throwback. Or maybe it was more that River City has been telling the stories of gay characters for many years – some of them quite progressive – so this story seemed antiquated and out of place.
To be fair, the story wasn’t badly told and there were some nice touches, especially the older woman who told Robbie about her gay friend. It said there have always been gays around and there have always been those who love and support them. And it was nice how Robbie’s friends rallied around him.

2012 is shaping up to be the year of the Games. Between the Olympics, a greatly anticipated second season of Game of Thrones and not to mention loud 3D promises from various blockbuster must-sees, The Hunger Games has some real opponents to contend with. Due to be thrown into the ring March 23rd, the first adaptation of Suzanne Collins’ bestselling trilogy is a franchise I believe has the potential to explode on an incredible scale…we’re talking bigger than R-Patz or Twilight and with a hell of a lot more punch and integrity.
Don’t let the T word scare you off; despite a young adult audience in mind The Hunger Games is definitely worth working up an appetite for. A gripping narrative and a richly imagined world has made Collins’ series quite a phenomenon but how well will this translate onto the...

In a thousand Home Counties bungalows, men called Jeremy or Brian must have reached for their writing paper and fountain pens to compose a strongly worded letter to the Telegraph. The reason behind their outrage was the actress Meryl Streep. Or to put it more precisely, not Meryl Streep herself. Jeremy and Brian probably quite like Meryl Streep.

Let's be honest here, PC gamers have recently had the short end of the stick when it comes to getting the console's sloppy seconds of Fps games.
Example: Battlefield Bad Company 2 for PC - The snipers couldn't even go prone.. wtf.
