Amanda Recaps… Last Month [And Needs Your Imaginations! Yes, Yours!]

by Amanda LaPergola | 2:02 pm, February 22nd, 2013

Editor’s Note: We ask contributing writer Amanda LaPergola to report on the world of pop culture with her unique style and insights. Sometimes she does something like that.

“You cannot force this kind of creative process,” she told us once. “It needs to evolve on its own. It’s like Pokémon. You just can’t say to a Pokémon ‘Hey, Pokémon! Be a different Pokémon!’ and expect it to evolve. That is not how it works. First, it needs to spend time jammed up in a constrictive red and white ball. Then, you let it out occasionally to fight other Pokémon to near-death. With time and encouragement, your Pokémon will grow and change from a weird little hamster-thing to a weird little hamster-thing with antlers. And then you get to eat it. I think. I’ve never played Pokémon. Anyway, what was saying? Oh yeah, can you pay for this coffee?”

That was four months ago. We had not heard from Amanda since.

However, just yesterday, a package arrived at Mary Sue headquarters containing what appeared to be a note from Amanda’s mom (“Dear Miss Sue: Please excuse my daughter’s absence over the past few months. She wants me to tell you she had mono, but really she has been searching the internet for the secret fourth season of Downton Abbey she believes Queen Elizabeth is keeping to herself”) and the following pages…

Game of Thrones’ Emilia Clarke Wants To Wear Her Daenerys Wig All The Time, Do Meth On Breaking Bad

by Jill Pantozzi | 11:05 am, February 18th, 2013

We all know wigs play an important role in HBO’s Game of Thrones but they apparently also play a role in anonymity for the actors. So much so Emilia Clarke, who plays Daenerys Targaryan on the series, goes completely unrecognized. Even at HBO events. See what the actress had to say about her trademark white blonde wig and the two other hit shows she’d love to guest star on.

Samuel L. Jackson Wanted Nick Fury to Have a Cameo in Breaking Bad, Because Samuel L. Jackson is Wonderful

by Rebecca Pahle | 2:30 pm, January 1st, 2013

“I just wanted to order a three piece [in Pollos Hermanos] and really freak people out. Then people would be going, ‘Wow, was that him?’” — Samuel L. Jackson on his proposed Breaking Bad Nick Fury cameo; when The Avengers was shooting in Albuquerque, Breaking Bad was in the studio right across the street.

Oh, Samuel L. Jackson. I love so much about the things you choose to be.

by Susana Polo | 4:12 pm, December 24th, 2012

Game of Thrones lost out on the “most pirated television” title last year to Dexter. Could the scrappy younger show pull out the ignominious win this year?

Yes.

Breaking Bad, As Performed by the Cast of Downton Abbey [VIDEO]

There is very little that makes my heart gladder than posh, classy people being silly. I’m not sure what it is in particular about Downton Abbey‘s Hugh Bonneville, Jim Carter, and Rob James-Collier, in character, performing scenes from Breaking Bad on The Colbert Report that makes me so giddy… frankly, I think it might be that the sleep deprivation that’s followed in the aftermath of last night’s The Hobbit screening has left me a few (million) brain cells short today. That might be why I’m gigging like a loon at Lord Grantham screaming “You mother—!” upon learning who shared his top-secret recipe for “Earl Blue.”

Or maybe it really is just that funny, and I’m not as out of it today as I think I am.

Travel Posters for Pop Culture Locations, by Dave Perillo

by Susana Polo | 3:30 pm, December 5th, 2012

We’re no stranger to travel posters for fictional locations, but Dave Perillo’s art sure is charming. Ventur in for more ’80s nostalgia, and then a bunch of stuff that isn’t even a travel poster but that’s cute enough anyway.

by Jill Pantozzi | 5:31 pm, September 8th, 2012

We actually saw this yesterday, since Google decided (rightly so) to post it early, but here’s their salute to 46 years of Star Trek! If you get to it before it’s taken down, it’s actually playable and extremely fun.

Things We Saw Today: Cabin in the Woods Writer to Pen World War Z Adaptation

by Alanna Bennett | 5:34 pm, July 15th, 2012

Max Brooks‘ zombie novel World War Z has had a rough road to the big screen. It’s been re-written and re-shot and re-written and re-shot, etc. Now they’ve brought on screenwriter Drew Goddard to take a swing at it. Goddard has previously worked on Cloverfield, Lost, and Cabin in the Woods. (via Blastr)
