Movie Reviews and Previews Ryan Gosling & Feminist Mad Max Ryan Gosling was photographed yesterday in Hollywood, apparently on break from shooting The Big Short in New Orleans.

Style Emily Blunt’s Cannes debut Emily Blunt has been to Cannes for a few parties here and there. But I don’t recall ever seeing her at the Palais, representing her own film.

BFFs Joss Whedon quits Twitter, world implodes On Monday, Joss Whedon quit Twitter. I assumed it was because with Avengers: Age of Ultron open in all the theaters everywhere, he was finally done promoting it and so he deleted his Twitter page, which was started two years ago to promote a movie.

TV Updates Amy Schumer, 12 Angry Men, and Reasonable Chub I know that I always start articles all “go watch this then come back”. And I also know that sometimes there’s just not time. I do it too. Sometimes I just read the article about the thing instead of watching the thing. But if you don’t watch this By Duana • May 07, 2015 09:54 am
Dumbass Please stop talking, Jeremy Renner I’ve always said Jeremy Renner is good for gossip, and he is certainly giving us something to talk about recently.
