"The New Normal" Finale Recap: Beautiful Boy(s)

3 April 2013 5:02 AM, PDT | The Backlot | See recent The Backlot news »

This just can't be the end. How can a show so full of heart, so full of sweetness and love and humor not be embraced by everyone? It escapes me.

If this is it, though, if this is the last time we get to see Bryan and David and Goldie and Shania and Jane and Rocky and Clay, then let me take a moment to thank the writers, the cast and the network for giving us an entire season of this fantastic show.

Finding Name-o

We begin with our boys facing off against the host of wedding decisions that need to be made. Bryan, the producer, wants things to be elegant. David, the lovable geek, wants things to be fun. Trust me, folks, fun is the way to go. Pomp and circumstance may seem spectacular on paper, but it won't be a wedding people will remember.

Anyhoo, what David really »

Bryan & David's 'Big Day'

1 April 2013 2:51 PM, PDT | Huffington Post | See recent Huffington Post news »

"The New Normal" is staging an hourlong season finale on Tuesday, April 2 (9 p.m. Et on NBC), which sees Bryan (Andrew Rannells) and David (Justin Bartha) preparing for both their impending wedding and the birth of their son -- one of which requires an officiant and one of which requires a name.

In HuffPost TV's exclusive clip above, we see the happy couple struggling with the logistics of wedding planning, adhering to tradition and the overbearing presence of Bryan's mother Colleen (guest star Mary Kay Place). Will they be able to have their big day their way?

The "New Normal" finale's subject matter is particularly timely given the Supreme Court's current examination of the constitutionality of the Defense of Marriage Act (Doma) and Prop 8. On April 1, a gay father and husband's touching open letter to the Supreme Court went viral, further illustrating how relevant "The New Normal's" storylines are »

Exclusive: James Ponsoldt Talks Smashed and The Spectacular Now

26 March 2013 11:36 AM, PDT | MovieWeb | See recent MovieWeb news »

James Ponsoldt Talks Smashed, available on Blu-ray, and The Spectacular Now

James Ponsoldt is currently enjoying the successful launch of his comedic drama Smashed, available now on Blu-ray, as well as the spectacular reception of his upcoming project, The Spectacular Now, at SXSW earlier in the month. We recently caught up with the director to talk about both of these projects, and the impact they've had on his career.

Smashed follows a young woman whose marriage is hinged on alcohol, and her attempts to sober up. The Spectacular Now follows a young man who is also reliant upon the pleasure and power of alcohol, and how it affects his relationship with a 'nice girl'. Neither movie is a PSA on the dangers of consumption. Instead, both of these critical darlings rely on humor and real emotional heart to get their messages across.

How does James Ponsoldt feel about his budding »

Magnet Set to Release Demon Comedy 'Milo'

19 March 2013 10:00 AM, PDT | FEARnet | See recent FEARnet news »

Fresh off its SXSW premiere Jacob Vaughan’s Milo has been picked up by Magnet Releasing for North American distribution.

The horror-comedy stars Ken Marino from The State and Gillian Jacobs of Community fame and features the puppetry of Frank Langley and Bob Mano. The plot involves a man and his anxiety-produced pet demon.

Here’s the synopsis straight from the press release:

Duncan’s (Ken Marino) life is a real pain in the ass.  Tormented by manipulative, crooked boss (Patrick Warburton), a nagging mother (Mary Kay Place), a deadbeat new age dad (Stephen Root), and a sweet, yet pressuring, wife (Gillian Jacobs), his mounting stress starts to trigger an insufferable gastrointestinal reaction.  Out of ideas and at the end of his rope, Duncan seeks the help of a hypnotherapist (Peter Stormare), who helps him discover the root of his unusual stomach pain: a pintsized demon living in his intestine that, »

Magnet Releasing Picks up Anal Demon Comedy Milo!!

19 March 2013 12:07 AM, PDT | iconsoffright.com | See recent Icons of Fright news »

Magnet Releasing, who have already gotten my full attention with their upcoming slate of releases, such as Kiss Of The Damned, V/H/S 2 and Here Comes The Devil, have recently announced their acquisition of Jacob Vaughan’s horror/comedy Milo, which judging from the synopsis, sounds like a hell of a fun time.

“Duncan’s (Ken Marino) life is a real pain in the ass. Tormented by manipulative, crooked boss (Patrick Warburton), a nagging mother (Mary Kay Place), a deadbeat new age dad (Stephen Root), and a sweet, yet pressuring, wife (Gillian Jacobs), his mounting stress starts to trigger an insufferable gastrointestinal reaction.

Milo with Ken Marino Goes to Magnet Releasing

18 March 2013 4:28 PM, PDT | MovieWeb | See recent MovieWeb news »

Magnet Releasing has acquired North American distribution rights to the acclaimed comedy/horror film Milo. Written and directed by Jacob Vaughan and starring Ken Marino & Gillian Jacobs, Milo premiered last weekend at the 2013 SXSW Film Festival. Blending the gory elements of a classic critter film (&#224 la Gremlins) with the lighthearted comedy of an unlikely friendship (reminiscent of Ted), Milo was one of the most talked about and unique films of the festival.

The sale for Milo was completed late Friday night, making it the last deal to close during this year's SXSW.

Magnet to Distribute Anal Demon Comedy Milo Starring Ken Marino and Gillian Jacobs

18 March 2013 2:14 PM, PDT | Collider.com | See recent Collider.com news »

One of the funniest films I saw at SXSW was Jacob Vaughan's Milo.  The juvenile comedy centers on a man (Ken Marino) whose stresses at home and at work causes him extraordinary gastric distress, which isn't helped by the fact that he has a gremlin-like creature living in his colon.  Today, Magnet has announced that they've picked up the film for distribution.  Magnet is definitely a good fit for the film, and I assume the company will go their normal route of releasing the film on VOD before giving it a limited theatrical release.  No release date has been announced, but hopefully audiences will get to see the movie later this year. Hit the jump for the full press release.  Milo also stars Gillian Jacobs, Patrick Warburton, Mary Kay Place, Peter Stormare, and Stephen Root. Here's the press release (I've put the synopsis in bold): Magnet Releasing Wipes »

SXSW 2013: Milo Review

10 March 2013 10:20 PM, PDT | Collider.com | See recent Collider.com news »

Jacob Vaughan's Milo is revelatory in multiple ways.  It's a sly comment on our culture's obsession with stress and how to relieve it.  It's an intimate family drama about a man afraid of becoming a father when he was abandoned by his own.  Most of all, Milo proves you can get a surprising amount of comic mileage from an anal demon.  Vaughan's comedy is one of the most juvenile films I've ever seen, but works because of its completely sincerity rather than celebrating its own sense of humor.  As silly as Milo gets, Vaughan and his actors play the proceedings completely straight-faced, and let the comedy shine through where the sun don't shine. Duncan (Ken Marino) has nothing but stress.  He and his wife Sarah (Gillian Jacobs) are having difficulty conceiving, he's been placed in charge of firing people by his slimy boss (Patrick Warburton), and his mother (Mary Kay Place »

TVLine says that former Mindy Project beau, Tommy Dewey has joined the Seth MacFarlane-produced Fox comedy Dads about two guys who suddenly find their fathers moving in. Dewey was great on The Mindy Project, I hope this Dads can capture that equally well.

Yesterday's announcement that G4 is turning into The Esquire Network, inspired Jezebel to snark on the idea of another channel aimed at men. Of course, I'd watch the hell out of "Great, Scott!" and their version of The Millionaire Matchmaker sounds so much better than Bravo's.

NBC's modern-day Hatfields & McCoys pilot just added Virginia Madsen as the matriarch of the McCoy family.

Carla Buono, whose Mad Men character introduced us to the curse, "Go @$% in the ocean!" will appear in an episode of Castle as a woman who has a history with Detective Ryan.
