WTF: Universal May Make ‘Bridesmaids’ Sequel Without Kristen Wiig

According to The Hollywood Reporter, Universal is planning to make a sequel — without Kristen Wiig. It seems the film’s co-writer and… Read More

The Funniest ‘SNL’ Skits of 2011

Another year of Saturday Night Live has come and gone. We’ve celebrated holidays, strange news stories, and stranger politicians with the comedic troupe and their guests, and we have to say that all things considered, this year was, well, not so bad. There were even some real gems among the normal hurried junk that fans have been complaining about for years.

Flavorpill’s Most Anticipated Movies of 2012

Hey, guess what: 2012 is like, four days away. Exciting, eh? Well, aside from that whole Mayan calendar/end of the world business. And that there’s going to be a Presidential campaign all damned year, and the economy’s still in the toilet, and Community is on a “hiatus”… On second thought, 2012 is already looking pretty terrible, and it hasn’t even started yet.

No, wait! There will be new movies! Many, many new movies. And don’t kid yourself: plenty of them are going to be terrible (I mean, there’s a Battleship movie coming out, for God’s sake). But some of them look awesome! So in the spirit of cautious optimism, join us after the jump for a look at ten 2012 releases that we’re genuinely looking forward to. … Read More

The Year in Film: 2011′s Best Movie Characters

Earlier in the month, we spotlighted some of our favorite performances of the year, and we’re not quite sure exactly where the line falls between loving a performance and loving a character. But the people (and non-people) on this list were real and memorable not just because the actors involved played them so well (though they did). Here, the combination of masterful acting, great writing, and sensitive direction gave us a sense that these were real people on the screen. What’s more, they were real people whom we wish we knew — even though, by the end of their films, in many ways we did know them. Our favorites are after the jump; add yours in the comments. … Read More

So, the Hollywood Foreign Press Association has announced its 2011 Golden Globe nominees.

Follow along as we grouse over the year’s biggest snubs, and add your own gripes in the comments. … Read More

Flavorpill’s 2011 Holiday Cultural Wish List

‘Tis the season for gift guides a-plenty — and don’t worry, we’ll have no shortage of those. But let’s get real: we aren’t just thinking of others this holiday season. We’ve got needs and desires, too, dammit! With that in mind, we’ve compiled a cultural wish list of films and books we’d like to see, musical reinventions and comebacks we’ve been longing for, and TV shows we hope will make it next season (or hang it up at the end of this one). Like any such list, what we’ve come up with is massively subjective — so let us know what you’d add in the comments. … Read More
