Movie Reviews and Previews Harry Potter f*cks over some magicians … Is the best way of describing Now You See Me 2, judging by the new trailer. If you remember the first one—and why would you?—Morgan Freeman ended up in jail because Mark Ruffalo was the best magician in the world, or something like that.

Media Manipulation Missing Emma? Many of you have written to say that you thought this year’s Oscars was low on star power and major fashion moments. I feel you. Some of you mentioned that you wished Emma Stone could have been there, because she’s always good for a style conversation. I hear By Lainey • Mar 02, 2016 04:30 pm
Oscars 2016 Mark Ruffalo’s Almost Oscar I said it last night on Twitter, but there’s very little that’s crueler than being up for an award with four other people if one of the people—the one who is CERTAIN not to win anything—shares three syllables of a name with you. “And the Oscar By Duana • Feb 29, 2016 05:55 pm
Celebrity Social Media Smutty Social Media, February 22, 2016 Book signing anxiety is real! (Unless you are J.K. Rowling or something.) I have a signing at Barnes & Nobel at The Grove tomorrow at 730! I'm so nervous no one will come.

Media Manipulation Are the Oscars “in crisis”? Exactly a week ago is when it all started. The Academy announced its Oscar nominees and #OscarsSoWhite has since dominated the conversation.

Will Smith Intro for November 24, 2015 Dear Gossips, When you have a few minutes today, please read The Hollywood Reporter’s Actors Roundtable featuring Samuel L Jackson, Michael Caine, Mark Ruffalo, Will Smith, Benicio Del Toro, and Joel Edgerton. It’ll take 5, maybe 6, tops. And it’s really, really, really funny. Mark and Benicio By Lainey • Nov 24, 2015 09:30 am
Movie Reviews and Previews Check out Noted Satirist Jesse Eisenberg in Now You See Me 2 Yesterday Lainey wrote about Jesse Eisenberg’s, um, satirical take on film critics in The New Yorker. I recognize the type of critic he’s lampooning, so I find it halfway funny, but I also think this is how he sees all film critics, not just that particular type, and By Sarah • Nov 19, 2015 01:18 pm

Movie Reviews and Previews Thor, Hulk…and Cate? The third Thor movie—officially titled Thor: Ragnarok—is creaking into gear, moving inexorably toward its July 2017 release date. Seems far away, but that means it’s going into production next year, so, you know. Time to fire up the rumor mill. The unofficial word is that New Zealand By Sarah • Oct 14, 2015 11:01 am

Quiveration Oh hi Mark Ruffalo! I didn’t know there would be new photos of Mark Ruffalo when I namechecked Mark Ruffalo just now in the previous post about Timothy Olyphant but look, here he is arriving in Venice today looking scruffy and rumpled and…delicious. Mark is there because Spotlight is screening out of By Lainey • Sep 01, 2015 12:57 pm
Movie Reviews and Previews Spotlight at the top We must be approaching award season because the fall festivals have announced their lineups, led by TIFF, and now we’re starting to get trailers for the Oscar baity movies we’ll be watching in the fall.

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.
