"Let me play among the stars, Let me see what spring is like on a-Jupiter and Mars." Hey Moon, why you look so good? Why you look so big?! Uh, is that normal...? This amusing and entertaining supercut created by editor / video essayist Ariel Avissar is worth a watch. This "Supermoon" mashup features a bunch of shots of gigantic Moon-in-the-background scenes from movies of all kinds. Everything from Black Swan to Frozen to The Lion King to Catwoman to Joe vs the Volcano to Shrek to Sin City and plenty of others. This also reminds me of a doc made up of nothing but the shots of stars from movies (it's called simply Star by Johann Lurf).

Though known as a prolific playwright, John Patrick Shanley’s film career is notable as the scribe behind oddball heartfelt romances such as Moonstruck and Joe Versus the Volcano, along with being a writer on everything from unabashed b-movies (Congo) to somber reflections on sexual predation and Catholicism like (Doubt).
Today brings the trailer for his first film in more than a decade, Wild Mountain Thyme, about two feuding but inseparable lovers, Anthony (Jamie Dornan) and Rosemary (Emily Blunt), whose romance in Ireland is complicated by a land dispute involving both their families.

Also starring Emily Blunt, Jamie Dornan, Christopher Walken, and Jon Hamm, it should be worth watching for nothing else than trying to divine Walken’s accent.
