by Alanna Bennett | 2:50 pm, July 20th, 2012

He’s being pretty vocal about it, too; the actor’s taken to the web to express his disappointment in Hollywood for snubbing Fox sci-fi show Fringe.

Aaron Sorkin Broke His Nose While Writing

by Jamie Frevele | 4:17 pm, September 19th, 2011

Aaron Sorkin did that to his face, guys. While writing. That is how intense he is — he breaks his freaking face. You might be wondering if this means that Aaron Sorkin actually walks and talks while he writes, but no. That is not the case. At least not this time. No, he was reading some of his own writing to himself in a mirror and then got too close. And like some scene out of Evil Dead 2, the reflection of Aaron Sorkin reached out of the mirror and punched the real Sorkin in the face. No, I’m kidding. But he did head-butt himself by accident. And then he went to the Emmys, where Getty Images got the picture from above (that is Brenda Strong to the left). Thank you, Getty Images. And thank you, Aaron Sorkin.

Here Is Your Emmy Round-Up, Mary Sue-Style

by Jamie Frevele | 11:06 am, September 19th, 2011

Here is everything you need to know about the Emmys: pretty much the most predictable, safe nominees won, with maybe a few exceptions. The most exciting — and I use that term very generously — moments were (as usual) related to the women nominated for Best Actress in a Comedy Series. But a certain geek-friendly win was pretty exciting, even if it was the only geek-friendly victory of the night. Let’s take a look, shall we? And find out what the moment pictured above was all about?

Christina Hendricks Talks Wonder Woman, Outs Brother As Doll Owner

by Jamie Frevele | 2:28 pm, September 18th, 2011

“I grew up on the TV show, and I had Wonder Woman Underoos, and my brother had a Wonder Woman doll — sorry, Aaron, you’re exposed. And Nicolas said, when we were on set, ‘I want you to be Wonder Woman.’ And I think he is such an extraordinary and exceptional director, that if he asked me to do it, I would do it in a heartbeat … Hopefully the stars would align. It would be really fun. It would be cool, wouldn’t it? I’d get to kick ass.” — Christina Hendricks, who is in Drive, which opened this weekend and is directed by Nicolas Winding Refn, who has said he would like to do a reboot of Wonder Woman with Hendricks as the lead, and it might just happen if his reboot of Logan’s Run is successful. Hendricks is also nominated for an Emmy tonight for her work on AMC‘s Mad Men, so let’s wish her some good vibes and transfer those vibes to the Logan’s Run reboot so she can then become Wonder Woman.

A Lesson in Humility

Fred Rogers Sends Us On Our Way [Video]

by Jamie Frevele | 5:15 pm, March 11th, 2011

And so, after a day of tragedy and chaos, we leave you with Fred Rogers, accepting his Lifetime Achievement Award at the 1997 Emmys, and putting things in perspective. Rogers passed away in 2003, leaving behind a legacy of supporting children’s education as well as public broadcasting. In an interview with CNN, he’d said that he went into television because he “hated it”, specifically the way it produced its children’s programming, and then spent his career fixing it. Thanks, Mr. Rogers!
