BuzzFeed has raised $50 million to bank their newly rebranded BuzzFeed Motion Pictures. They’ll be making .gifs, full length feature films, and anything in between.

Given their branding, we’re guessing that there will be heavy comedic bent to a lot of content if it already isn’t actually a comedy web video/short/feature already.

Honestly, this could a multitude of directions in regards to format, tone, and quality, especially since BuzzFeed has been posting actual long form articles that aren’t in the form of lists as of late.

The annual music/arts/more neighborhood weekend festival known as Echo Park Rising is back this week, Aug. 15th-17th and will feature a much more robust comedy line-up.

In fact, between the Time Travel Mart and Echoes Under Sunset, they’re going to have four shows featuring the likes of Maria Bamford, Steve Agee, Dana Gould, Sean Patton, Karen Kilgariff, Ian Karmel, Hampton Yount, Seaton Smith, Emily Heller, Chris Garcia, Matt Braunger, Sean O’Connor, and way more. Midnight Run, the show where all the comics are probably way too high when on stage, will be going down.

You might also like to know that it will all be free to attend, so while you wander hearing too many bands to count and eating from too many food trucks, make sure to catch some, if not all these shows.

Behind the face of The Daily Show and its host Jon Stewart is an entire, well oiled machine that maintains one of the sharpest comedy shows around as a perennial award winning comedy series.

They just released their first episode with head writer Elliott Kalan and correspondent Jessica L. Williams, so you’ll probably be adding this to your regular podcast list soon.

Chris Hardwick Announces @midnight Renewed for 2015

If you were potentially worried that you might not get to see the index finger of Chris Hardwick point to any number of comedians while yelling out “Points!” in 2015, then potentially worry no more.

As Hardwick stopped by The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, he announced that the midnight hit at Comedy Central “@midnight” has been picked up for another year at Comedy Central and will run through 2015.

Chris and Jimmy also joked about the possibility of doing a crossover episode with this renewal, but we wouldn’t be surprised at all if The Tonight Show and “@midnight” despite their time slot conflict, did some sort of crossover.

They’ve done some crazy things on “@midnight” in case you haven’t regularly watched it.

In addition to Ben Stiller’s remarks on the legitimate possibility of a Zoolander sequel 13 years after original, Justin Theroux, who played the evil DJ that is one of Mugatu/Will Ferrell’s henchmen, gave a little more backing to a Zoolander 2 actually happening.

While being interviewed by Vulture for his role in The Leftovers, Theroux commented that there is actual work being done on a script for the sequel and scheduling for everyone that would be involved has been an issue.

Hopefully, we will get to see the progress of The Derek Zoolander School for Kids Who Can’t Read Good and Want to Do Other Good Stuff Too sometime in the next year or so.

Will Arnett is a man of many talents, one of which you might know is his extensive voiceover work. In fact, Arnett is in such high demand for his voice that he had to take time from his Conan interview last night to record a few voiceover jobs.

They range from a typical car ad to, well, something foreign and very adult. Watch and listen here.

Hush Money Shows Why Bars Are The New Tower of Babel

Most bars are way too loud from the music blasting from the speakers at an unreasonable volume and the collective voices of dozens of people trying to shout over said music.

That’s why talking at most bars are not great for actually communicating any sort of information. In fact, it might just be like the Tower of Babel when everyone was speaking a different language as Hush Money clearly illustrates here.

So, now you know what will be filling up your Instagram feed here if you live in the Los Angeles area next week.

Sony Changing Military Uniform Buttons and, Possibly, Face Melting in ‘The Interview’

August 13, 2014

Uncategorized

(via The Hollywood Reporter)

(NOTE: Spoilers possibly ahead) The Interview starring James Franco and Seth Rogen has been a hot button movie for Sony ever since it was first announced. Being fiercely decried by North Korea for its plot that follows the assassination of Kim Jong-Un, Sony has already moved back the release date to Christmas from October.

Now, they will be altering uniform buttons that the depicted North Korean military wears as well as thinking about changing a scene where Kim Jong-Un’s face is melted off.

Some of the reasoning behind these changes have been cited as “clearance issues” rather than political pressure, but who gets clearance from a military and a leader of a country that keeps contact with the U.S. to a minimum? Have higher-ups in North Korea have not seen the multitudes of web videos satirizing North Korea in a similar way?

More importantly, would North Korea really try to start a war over a movie?

Kaitlin Olson is taking some time away from Paddy’s Pub and the crazed schemes of Mac, Dennis, Charlie, and Frank to now trying to woo Rob Reiner who plays Jess/Zooey Deschanel’s dad. Olson’s character will also be rivals to Jess and Cece as they were at odds with each other since high school.

Perhaps, there will be a nod to Sweet Dee with Kaitlin saying something like “I will eat your babies, bitch!”

Conan O’Brien, Jimmy Fallon, and Seth Meyers all put together a tribute on their respective shows featuring memorable past appearances of Williams. If you’re wondering why Letterman, Kimmel, The Daily Show, etc. aren’t doing the same, they’re simply not taping new episodes this week.

So, during his plan for Pink’s Hot Dogs here in LA to have people who have an appropriate reason to be in a hurry cut to the front of the line, he met a liar and ended up “teaching” him a lesson.

By this point, we’d hope you’d be familiar with Daniel Van Kirk’s mastered and hilarious impression of Mark Wahlberg that he’s done anywhere from Comic-Con to Set List: The Improvised Stand Up Show.

He’s now doing an entire show on Aug. 21st at 7PM at UCB LA as Mark Wahlberg with the following description: Musician, Model, Actor, Producer, Entrepreneur, Inspiration, Better Than You. After decades of using his knowledge to only benefit himself, Mark Wahlberg has teamed up with other celebrities and famous friends for “The Wahlberg Solution!” a round-table discussion of current news and events that will sort out the world’s problems as only A-List celebrities can.

It will be called The Wahlberg Solution and will feature Emily Maya Mills, Madeline Walter, and Kenny Stevenson as various “celebrity friends”, but, more importantly, Earwolf is recording this live performance that they will later release for all of us not lucky enough to be at UCB LA next Thurs.
