Dearest Sporkers,

Our Interview Virginity Is Lost On Ms. Brea Grant!

I had the pleasure of contacting actress/author/geek Brea Grant (Heroes, Homecoming, WWBY) in our very first FilmSpork interview! Brea is extremely busy filming two major projects right now, one of which involves a kick-ass motorcycle, so she was kind enough to give us a mini interview until her schedule opens up for something more in-depth. Enjoy dearies and post any questions you would like me to ask in the follow up!

The Rise of the Female Comedian

I have thought long and hard (take a moment to get the penis jokes out of your system..ready? No? I'll wait.) As I was saying I have thought long and hard upon the topic of female comedy or more accurately a female's role in the comedy universe. As someone who is herself hysterically funny, I can't help but daydream about my potential future as a funny lady in the entertainment industry. But in a time of heavily saturated male comedy, is there room for funny women in Hollywood?

Tah-dah

THE CONFESSION

TRIUMVIRATE OF AWESOME!!

Alan Alda.  Allison Janney.  Meryl Streep.  

"Opening night of the World Science Festival in New York is going to feature a more glittering lineup of stars than most Broadway shows. Meryl Streep, Amy Adams, Allison Janney, Liev Schreiber, David Morse and Bill Camp are among the actors coming together on June 1 at Alice Tully Hall to participate in a reading of a new play written by Alan Alda about the scientist Marie Curie." - NY Times

If you don't know me, you won't understand how huge this is.
Well...

Melancholia: a mental condition marked by persistent depression and ill-founded fears.

...or in my case, a mental condition marked by persistent dedication and ill-founded obsession.

... with Kiefer.

Which led me to create a google video email notification (during, I swear, a moment of legitimate research), which led me to see this trailer by the (insert adjective) Lars Von Trier.

MELANCHOLIA.

Jaz Is Finally Old Enough To See A Scream Sequel In Theaters!

Folks it is finally happening! Scream 4 will be in theaters in 12 days and I am old enough to see it in theaters without the accompaniment of a parent or guardian. This is a first for me involving the Scream franchise so please excuse my excitement.

Hollywood Casts Plastic Surgery Holdout Jennifer Garner As Infamous Elderly Spinster Detective Miss Marple

It has been reported that Walt Disney has purchased the rights to Miss Marple, and that they are planning a new film franchise set to star Jennifer Garner, who is 38 years old. Many are calling it a re-invention of the character.  Defenders of the change, while conceding Hollywood's age bias, have even said that the "old lady" version has already been successfully portrayed, and that it's time for a different, even sexier take.

Let me explain why that is wrong. On so many levels. After the jump.

Please, listen to the lovely Miss Marple Theme as you read.
