Shudder Brings Infamous Banned BBC Program Ghostwatch to the States https://t.co/VjlkH4NZhi #horror

— Dread Central (@DreadCentral) April 17, 2017

On Halloween night in 1992, the BBC1 first aired a special called Ghostwatch. Its narrative was presented as live and real television, causing a bit of a panic among viewers. An estimated 30,000 calls were made to the BBC within an hour during the broadcast, and one suicide was associated with the film. [Source]. The movie was not aired again on UK television, but there have been a few international airings in countries such as Canada and Belgium. Ghostwatch can be found on DVD in the UK.

Ghostwatch entailed the live, on-air investigation of a poltergeist occurring inside of a family's house in Northolt, Greater London.

Until recently, Ghostwatch still had yet to be officially released overseas in the United States, digitally or on home video. The horror centric streaming service backed by AMC, Shudder, has acquired the movie for its members. It's available now to stream.

What are your favorite found footage horror movies or mockumentaries?

Based in Malmö, Sweden, Mästerverk presents fine art prints, in super limited editions, from emerging Scandinavian artists. Their initial line-up so far includes Oscar Grønner, Maria Pohl, Clara Selina Bach, Stine Maria Aalykke, Jon Kono, Freja Erixån, Olle Halvars, Karl-Joel Lrsn. My personal favorite is the piece by Oscar Grønner of the man taking a tinkle in the public toilet.

- Ukrainian authorities barred Russian contestant Julia Samoylova from coming to the contest in Kiev
- Cited her touring in Crimea in 2015 as the reason
- European Broadcasting Union offered to live stream Samoylova from Russia, or replace her with someone who can enter Ukraine
- Russian TV station Channel One decided to pull out completely instead of replacing her
- Russia will not televise the contest this year
- Eurovision remains not about politics

EBU: “We strongly condemn the Ukrainian authorities’ decision to impose a travel ban on Julia Samoylova as we believe it thoroughly undermines the integrity and non-political nature of the Eurovision song contest and its mission to bring all nations together in friendly competition. However, preparations continue apace for the Eurovision song contest in the host city Kiev. Our top priority remains to produce a spectacular Eurovision song contest in May.”

“We are deeply disappointed in this decision as we feel it goes against both the spirit of the contest, and the notion of inclusivity that lies at the heart of its values.”

This outcome was kinda obvious after Ukraine won last year.

Bowling alley closing

The Cambridge Planning Board has signed off on Criterion Development Partners’ plans to replace the Lanes & Games bowling alley and the Gateway Motel with a 320-unit apartment complex.

The six-story development long the Concord Turnpike just northwest of the Alewife area will include studios, 1-BRs, 2-BRs, and 3-BRs. The complex will also include 242 parking spaces and three dozen apartments designated as affordable.

Lanes and Games, a more than 40-year fixture in Cambridge, plans to close after this summer so as to give bowling leagues a chance to wrap their games.

Tig Notaro seems to agree that Louis CK's SNL clown sketch might have ripped her off https://t.co/vHz4M4Vbun pic.twitter.com/rxxFrAJrD4

-Last week, Louis C.K hosted SNL where he did a painfully unfunny monologue.
-He also did a sketch where a depressed man has a clown come over to perform just for him and people noticed similarities to a Tig Notaro short film called Clown Service.
-The source states that Notaro doesn't think it was just coincidence as at least one writer on SNL was aware of her film that she knows of.
-Says she hasn't spoken to Louis C.K. in over a year and that she did not give anyone permission to use her idea.
-Source has a video of Notaro's film.



Is this the beginning of the end for Louis C.K?

Britney Spears is slated to perform in Israel for the first time on 7/3 at Tel Aviv's Hayarkon Park. And as it turns out, this concert is such a big deal that it takes precedent over the Israeli Labor Party's hotly-contested primary, which pushed back their election originally scheduled for the same day to 7/4.

United Airlines CEO Oscar Munoz has released a lengthy statement after the forceful removal of a passenger from United Express flight 3411 this week.

If you didn’t know, four people were chosen by a computer at random to de-board the plane after it was overbooked. Three of the people left the plane. Law enforcement was called to remove the fourth person, Dr. David Dao, and things turned violent.

Click inside to read Oscar Munoz’s entire letter…

Dear Team,

The truly horrific event that occurred on this flight has elicited many responses from all of us: outrage, anger, disappointment. I share all of those sentiments, and one above all: my deepest apologies for what happened. Like you, I continue to be disturbed by what happened on this flight and I deeply apologize to the customer forcibly removed and to all the customers aboard. No one should ever be mistreated this way.

I want you to know that we take full responsibility and we will work to make it right.

It’s never too late to do the right thing. I have committed to our customers and our employees that we are going to fix what’s broken so this never happens again. This will include a thorough review of crew movement, our policies for incentivizing volunteers in these situations, how we handle oversold situations and an examination of how we partner with airport authorities and local law enforcement. We’ll communicate the results of our review by April 30th.

I promise you we will do better.

Sincerely,

Oscar

Kelly Clarkson is all of us.

The 34-year-old singer took to Twitter on Monday (April 10) to share an epic video of herself recording new music in the studio – well, trying to.

PHOTOS: Check out the latest pics of Kelly Clarkson

“….that time you think, damn, I’m about to nail this ….and then you don’t 😂😭 #inthestudio #whatthehellwasthat 😳,” she captioned the clip.

Watch her shocked expression and subsequent uncontrollable laughter below!

ICYMI, listen to Kelly and Aloe Blacc‘s “Love Goes On” from The Shack soundtrack here.

PS we love you, Kelly.

It’s funny, the things life decides to show you about yourself. For instance, before we got the PR materials for Netflix’s upcoming series about lady wrestlers in the eighties, we had NO IDEA we’d been waiting so long for a picture of Mad Men‘s Trudy Campbell getting slammed in the face while wearing a french-cut bodysuit.

Gosh, the things you learn about yourself in this gig. Anyway, here’s Monsieur Press Release, with the deets:

“The gorgeous ladies of wrestling are here and they are ready to rumble! In anticipation of the June 23 premiere of GLOW, Netflix has released a set of first look images from the upcoming comedy series.

Inspired by the short-lived, but beloved show from the 80s, GLOW tells the fictional story of Ruth Wilder (Alison Brie), an out-of-work, struggling actress in 1980s Los Angeles who finds one last chance for stardom. GLOW is created by Liz Flahive (Homeland, Nurse Jackie) and Carly Mensch (Nurse Jackie, Orange Is The New Black, Weeds). Orange Is the New Black creator Jenji Kohan and Tara Herrmann executive producers alongside Flahive and Mensch who are serving as showrunners.”

“GLOW tells the fictional story of Ruth Wilder (Brie), an out-of-work, struggling actress in 1980s Los Angeles who finds one last chance for stardom when she’s thrust into the glitter and spandex world of women’s wrestling. In addition to working with 12 Hollywood misfits, Ruth also has to compete with Debbie Eagan (Betty Gilpin) a former soap actress who left the business to have a baby, only to be sucked back into work when her picture perfect life is not what it seems. And at the wheel is Sam Sylvia (Marc Maron), a washed-up, B-movie director who now must lead this group of women on the journey to wrestling stardom.”

A Netflix series about the Gorgeous Ladies of Wrestling, produced by Jenji Kohan and starring Alison Brie? Universe, WHAT TOOK YOU SO LONG?

The art direction and costume design are ON POINT. This looks like it’s going to be insane good fun.

Kittens, we have to give it to you straight, even though we are far from it. You see, sometimes we just have to bite the bullet and admit the unpleasant truth.

Sometimes, when we look at shots of a beautiful woman in a slinky gown all done up to the nines, like so…

 

…our first reaction is something along the lines of, “Meh. Looks like a sparkly beach towel.”

Darlings, it is at those times that we have to admit we are just a weensy bit jaded.

This is fine. Good, even. The design of the dress is very basic, but the stripes and colors take it a bit away from normal premiere red carpetry. It’s got a bold, graphic quality that works really well promoting this type of film. The only real technical crit of the look is that the bust is too tight. For such a slinky dress, it’s doing a not-so-hot job of showcasing her bust, which is at least partially the point of a gown like this on a woman built like her.

But the styling’s a little perfunctory, no? We love the hair, but it never feels like her team is making choices to help set it off. She rarely has the kind of makeup or earrings that kind of style calls for. Her face is underdone and her jewelry choices are puzzling. She needed danglies or cuffs on the ears and probably little else save a ring or two. The bracelets don’t make much sense to us here.

Basically, it’s a potentially dramatic dress, but very little was done to help make it look dramatic.

Celebrities twerking can be as tired a pop culture phenomenon as it wants to be. Because when the hot dudebro from How To Get Away With Murder is popping that boi-pussy (I’m so sorry for typing that) in his underwear for Instagram licks, it’s more than ok.

Matt McGorry isn’t just an actor, strident social justice warrior and former bodybuilder, he’s also a male stripper wannabe. Dude’s lower body is almost hypnotic. I know he’s doing it for laughs but damn, where was this one when my bachelor party was being planned? Matt should totally (NSFW) Nomi Malone Jon Gosselin’s ass in Atlantic City and steal the spotlight when he has the time.

Matt, I know you’re an SJW and objectifying people probably isn’t your favorite, but I’m going to continue doing it with this next sentence. Less clothes next time, guy.

Watch Matt sell that ass and sell it righteously below.

Getting a quick twerkout in b4 the weekend.

Lorenzo, King of the Screencap, couldn’t stop himself once he got started.  Capturing 500 ‘caps just for the costume posts every week just wasn’t enough for him. Feud: Bette and Joan, it would seem, has lit a fire under his screencapping. You should’ve heard him giggling maniacally last night when he was putting it together.

Anyway, one of the more impressive things about Feud is its commitment to recreating specific iconic screen moments in the careers of Bette Davis and Joan Crawford. Lo already put together a post with several of their past glories recreated, but now that the series has concluded the portion of the story that takes place during the shooting of Whatever Happened to Baby Jane? he spent his free time meticulously piecing together side-by-side comparisons of all the scenes depicted. Can you tell he’s obsessed with this show?

 

 

 

What’s interesting here is how committed they were to getting the lighting and camera angles exactly right, but how they fudged things slightly here and there on the costume and art direction. Another thing that becomes clear when you look at the scenes side-by-side is the difference in the acting styles. Lange is doing an excellent job of appropriating Crawford’s body language, but she’s not doing Joan’s more expressive facial acting style, mainly because she’s a better actress. If you get a chance, watch the “Jane, I’m dying…” scene in the original and then watch Lange’s version. Joan is very good, but Lange is simply better.

Sarandon’s Davis is also good on the body language and fairly good with the facial acting, but you never really get the sense of Jane Hudson’s insanity from her performance. Davis looks scary-crazy in every one of the screencaps here. Sarandon isn’t really going there. This isn’t necessarily a criticism of her acting. She’s playing Bette Davis first and Jane Hudson second. It would have been nice if the series spent time examining just how Bette managed to plumb those depths, but since the story isn’t going there, neither is Sarandon.

Still, they’ve done an amazing job of paying strict homage while still giving themselves room to interpret things in order to tell the story.

I worked at a tiny Italian restaurant during college, and every Friday, for four years, the owner would make the same lunch: a lightly-dressed spinach salad, with four grilled shrimp and two tomato slices — as long as the tomato was “bright red and soft, not mushy.” And every Friday, for four years, I was puzzled.… Read more

So excited for you @NancyAKerrigan ! Can't wait to see you grace that ballroom floor, break a leg! 💃🏻#DWTS

— Kristi Yamaguchi (@kristiyamaguchi) March 20, 2017

The above tweet from Olympic gold medalist Kristi Yamaguchi has started picking up steam around the web. While "break a leg" is a common expression for good luck, Yamaguchi's choice of words invoke a different image when directed at Nancy Kerrigan who was the victim of a knee clubbing orchestrated by fellow figure skater Tonya Harding.

Yamaguchi's rep has issued the following statement to E!, "Kristi loves Nancy and has nothing but respect for her. No ill will was intended with the tweet and Nancy herself has received and commented on the well wishes that were sent. Kristi is finding the reactions on social media humorous but unfortunately for those who want it to have been shady, that's not the case."

The Delpozo Fall Winter 2017 marks the tenth show and five year anniversary of creative director Josep Font at the helm of the prêt-à-couture brand.

For this season, Font speaks of serenity and continuity, represented by Hungarian painter József Rippl-Rónai, a member of Les Nabis, a group of Post-Impressionist avant-garde artists in 1890s France, and Swiss sculptor Max Bill, Allianz movement leader for concrete art.

Like Fauvism, where emotion is expressed through color; the Nabis focused on the translation of reality rather than the tangible, and inspires this collections’ calmer and darker color hues: midnight black, dark burgundy, deep blue, chestnut, and dark green. The spirituality of the color palette, boosted with Klein blue, ivory and amber, is fused with the organic silhouettes taken from Max Bill’s abstract sculptures. Circular volumes become the highlight of this season: bold yet soft pleats and sleeves curve around the Delpozo woman’s body in flannel wool, embossed jacquard, and silk lamé; round gold buckles shine on trousers, tops, jackets, and ankle boots; and the tulip silhouette wraps around shoulders, skirts, and cocktail dresses. It is synthesizing at its finest.

Formerly sparkly Rob has fully embraced his Euro-Fashionisto side lately. He was always willing to go the extra mile on his style choices when it suited him, but this latest turn is so runway-model that it’s like he’s come out of the closet on his secret passion for edgy male fashion.

Let’s assess, yes?

 

 

Actor Robert Pattinson attends the premiere of “The Lost City of Z” during the 2017 Berlinale International Film Festival in Berlin, Germany.

LOVE.

No, really. It’s clearly not for everyone, but he’s got the exact right look for it. And it will never, ever be mistaken for something a first-year associate wears to the office, which is like 90% of male celebrity style.

This next look is perfect for any business setting, however:

PSYCH.

Go ahead, hate us if you must, but this is DIVINE. We can’t pull it off, but we’re so glad he wondered enough if he could to try it. Note to Rob: You not only pulled it off, you worked the shit out of it. More of this, please. Shame all those blue-suit-wearing boystars.
