It’s been quite some time since singular director Todd Solondz’s last film, but after many years, Wiener-Dog will be hitting theaters soon.

The man who brought us the engrossingly enigmatic, and often bleak, humor of Welcome to The Dollhouse, Happiness, Palindromes, and Storytelling now brings us a story of life being connected via a dachshund.

Greta Gerwig, Danny DeVito, Zosia Mamet, Ellen Burstyn, Kieran Culkin, and Julie Delpy make up for a stellar ensemble cast and, knowing Solondz’s filmography, the trailer only teases slightly what batty darkness is bubbling underneath the surface.

Look for Wiener-Dog in theaters on June 24th.

Yesterday, Jenny Lewis and Mikal Cronin released their music videos for “She’s Not Me” and “Say”, respectively, that offer more evidence that music videos are on their way back and are more than just bands in different clothes playing in front of different back drops.

In Lewis’ She’s Not Me, Vanessa Bayer, Zosia Mamet, Fred Armisen, and more semi-recreate Jenny’s past as a former child actress.

Mikal Cronin enlists the help of Kurt Braunohler, Jonah Ray, Allan McLeod, Nick Thune, and Nelson Franklin to be in his video for Say, though he may have spoke too soon (pun absolutely intended).

Along with JASH’s 5K music video series and any music video Tom Scharpling directs, maybe we don’t need MTV to play music videos ever again.

It’s not going to be a crossover episode, but we’d surprise if there weren’t any nods or references to HBO’s Girls in the upcoming episode.

Lena Dunham, Allison Williams, Zosia Mamet, and Jemima Kirke will all stay together like they do on Girls in an episode of The Simpsons where they all are guest starring.

The separation between their Girls characters and these characters only seems to be that Dunham’s character will be a pharmacist and they’re in Springfield and not Brooklyn.

After this, anyone think that there will be an episode of Girls where, at the very least, this episode of The Simpsons will be playing in the background?
