Bro. Bro. Bro. Bro. Seriously, bro, Ben Affleck hosts the 38th season finale of Saturday Night Live tonight with a really obscure toe dancer named Kanye West. Here's hoping they throw Baaahston more teasing/love, like they did in the old-school Jimmy Fallon/Rachel Dratch skits.
Justin Timberlake and Adam Driver unexpectedly duet in ways that make them feel good in Inside Llweyn Davis (previously entitled Peter, Paul and Mary: Twerk It).

Somehow, Skyler garners more fan hatred than the brilliant, evil meth cook and murderer she's…
Greta Gerwig Needed Noah Baumbach's Validation To Write Frances Ha
I don't think I'd be super off-base if I said that Greta Gerwig was the closest thing our generation has to old-school Diane Keaton; she's flighty and light on-screen, but there's melancholy and intelligence behind it.

This asshole bird named the Steller's jay keeps eating the eggs of the endangered murrelet. Scientists are intervening by planting fake murrelet eggs with a chemical that immediately induces vomiting, hoping for a Pavlovian response. (Pavlov's birds!)
