Every few episodes, I remember the most accurate thing that has ever been said about the Jeffersonian Institute: “Working here is like being on The View.” I’m not sure Clark has ever been more right. Booth and Brennan are facing disciplinary action; Angela’s having sex dreams about someone who isn’t Hodgins; Aubrey and Jessica would just like to kiss without breaking each other’s noses, thanks; and all of these relationships are shifting as the team works a serious case with personal implications.

With killer cars and crazy prosthetic legs, Grindhouse, a pair of pictures from directors Quentin Tarantino and Robert Rodriguez, is one of next year’s most-anticipated collaborations. Due out in April, the two movies, each a blood-and-guts tribute to ’70s exploitation flicks, will be separated by sensational trailers for fake B movies. Below, we’ve got the goods on the real films. THE VEHICLE
”It’s a slasher movie with a car instead of a knife,” says Rodriguez of Tarantino’s Death Proof, which stars Kurt Russell as a psychotic stuntman.
Soon, many teen males (and some older ones too) will be envying Joshua Jackson, whose ”Dawson’s Creek” character Pacey Witter is starting a romantic relationship with Katie Holmes’ Joey Potter. When new episodes of the series begin airing April 5, the pair will add fire to the spark of last week’s show, in which Pacey finally worked up the nerve to kiss Joey. The duo has been palling around ever since Dawson asked Pacey to look after his ex-girlfriend earlier this season.
How is your French? Before we can get to Matt Jamison’s audience with God on the Carnival Caligula cruise, I know you’re probably wondering about the French voice-over that replaced a song during the episode’s opening credits. Yes, the whispered prayer was undoubtedly the handiwork of Flexible Naked French Sailor before he stripped down and sprung into slow-motion action. “I am the only hope The last defense of a species on the brink of extinction The warlocks warned us These sage seers of the truth They said that this creature would come Seven years after the first were taken Seven years after the Departure But we were blind, God.
Nine years ago, a group of friends gathered one night to play Dungeons & Dragons. That game would change their lives. It sounds like some opening line a theatrical narrator might use to kick off a thrilling, high-stakes epic. It also happens to be how the story behind The Legend of Vox Machina begins. This game night in question was meant to be something fun Liam O'Brien, the voice of Gollum in Middle-earth: Shadow of Mordor, wanted to do for his birthday.
Disney fans know the scene: Ariel, having been transformed from a mermaid into a human by the sea witch Ursula, rushes from the depths of the ocean with her new legs, breaking through to the surface and tossing her hair back in a spray of sparkling droplets. It's an iconic moment that appears effortless in animation, but Halle Bailey, the recording artist who plays Ariel in this year's live-action/CG version of The Little Mermaid, says recreating it was quite difficult.
The Little Mermaid, Disney's remake blend of live-action and CG animation, made headlines well before the film's opening day in theaters. First, the movie, from director Rob Marshall (Chicago, Mary Poppins Returns), made waves for casting R&B artist Halle Bailey and giving the world its first Black Ariel. More changes to the classic were revealed in the months ahead: lyrics in famous songs like "Poor Unfortunate Souls" and "Kiss the Girl"
"I'll take Paul Lynde." Not so very long ago, a lifetime ago, those words took Americans somewhere wicked. In the '70s, if that sentence was uttered by a contestant on Hollywood Squares, lights would flash around the center cube in a grid of celebrities—those of the stripe who wind up on game shows—and settle on a genuine star. He was tanned, with shining teeth, if no leading man. He was in his 40s but looked older, and he had a whinnying snigger.
Sit down. It’s time for pleasant lunch conversation with Kevin Yagher, makeup effects artist for HBO’s Tales From The Crypt. While he eats his salad, he calmly discusses a Tale called ”Cutting Cards,” about a game of ”chop poker” between two gamblers: The loser of each hand gets a finger chopped off. He forks a piece of grilled fish, drags it in onion sauce, and says his job was to create false but realistic-looking arms and hands so the amputation would look genuine.
