Get Ready to Feel Old: The Vanity Fair Freaks and Geeks Reunion Photoshoot

by Susana Polo | 3:32 pm, December 6th, 2012

I don’t want to be the bearer of bad news, but there are children born after the final episodes of Freaks and Geeks aired, following a fan campaign to get three unaired episodes onto television, who are probably already preparing for their Bar and Bat Mitzvot.

Look… I’ll just leave you with some of the pictures from Vanity Fair’s photoshoot. There are lots more at their gallery, and they’ve also got a bunch of never before seen set pictures, a history of the show from the actors and creators, and creator Paul Feig explaining what would have happened in the never-made season two.

Buddy Cop Comedy The Heat Just Made Its Way On To My To-Watch List [VIDEO]

by Rebecca Pahle | 6:00 pm, November 18th, 2012

Watching this trailer for The Heat got me intrigued. Sure, a by-the-books professional forced to work with an unconventional rebel isn’t all that new a concept, but it looks funny, and that’s the important part. Plus, it’s a female buddy cop movie. Co-starring Melissa McCarthy as a detective and Sandra Bullock as a no-nonsense FBI agent. (Those are the best kind.) And because I think it deserves yet another mention: Female buddy cop movie.

But it’s this quote from director Paul Feig (Bridesmaids) that really sold me:

And Now For Something Completely Different

McCarthy — Bullock — They’re Cops (In a Buddy Cop Movie From the Director of Bridesmaids)

by Jamie Frevele | 3:59 pm, May 20th, 2012

Ask me how I resist posting about a buddy cop movie starring Melissa McCarthy and Sandra Bullock. Go ahead, I’ll wait while you craft the perfect question … Never mind, I’m just going to answer you: I cannot resist posting about it. I am writing two stories about women in comedy today, and you’re just going to have to deal with it, because this is great news. This is a buddy cop movie starring two women as cops, and that is new and exciting. It’s also being directed by Paul Feig, who also directed Bridesmaids, and if all of this means that McCarthy and Bullock use unconventional bathroom furniture as toilets, then sign me up. It won’t, because that was part of the screenplay, so Feig had little to do with that. But the screenplay was written by Parks and Recreation co-showrunner Katie Dippold, so… Holy crap, this is truly exciting.

Kristen Wiig Said There Won’t Be a Bridesmaids Sequel, So Universal Can Stop Trying to Make One Now

by Jamie Frevele | 4:15 pm, January 18th, 2012

Not one of the people who made Bridesmaids a success last year supported a sequel to the comedy hit, the only saving grace for the idea being the return of every single person from the original. Well, the woman responsible for the movie existing in the first place, Golden Globe nominee Kristen Wiig, has put the nail in the coffin, saying there will not be another matrimonial outing. So, let’s please stop throwing around the idea that this will happen, with or without her. Okay? Okay.

Bridesmaids Sequel in the Works, Provided Continued Good Box Office Numbers

by Susana Polo | 4:18 pm, May 19th, 2011

In case you didn’t notice, we liked Bridesmaids. The movie may not fit in our geeky purview, but it does fit in our “women in underrepresented fields” purview and we definitely recommend it if you’re into crazy-ass comedy. Now that the movie has finally come out, and surprised more than a few people with its box office pull (including, apparently Universal Studios itself), even more things might come out of its success.

And All Was Right With the World

Bridesmaids‘ Melissa McCarthy Getting Her Own Movie (Possibly Two?)

by Jamie Frevele | 1:59 pm, May 16th, 2011

Hot off the box office success of Bridesmaids, it has been announced that Melissa McCarthy has lined up a new film project with her Bridesmaids director Paul Feig. That followed another announcement that she and Bridesmaids co-writer Annie Mumolo have sold their own script to Paramount. Here’s the first question: Are these the same project? And here’s another: Was Bridesmaids actually the catalyst for female-geared comedies like we thought it would be? This certainly looks like a good start!
