Wait... they're making a movie (The Layover) with Alexandra Daddario and Kate Upton? Did every 12 year old male stealing True Detective S1 write this? LOL
 
Review: 'Spy' Starring Melissa McCarthy, Jason Statham, Jude Law & Rose Byrne Is An Undeniably Entertaining Romp

One of the most impressive things Feig does in "Spy" is make you really care about the Susan Cooper character and root for her to succeed; when the movie becomes impenetrably (and unnecessarily) knotty, that emotional connection is nearly broken. Thankfully, though, the conviction of the actors (we didn't even mention Bobby Cannavale as an arms dealer, and Allison Janney as McCarthy's CIA boss), Feig's commitment to the genre, and some truly wonderful set pieces, make "Spy" as lovable as its main character.
 
Tracy Morgan Visited The ‘SNL’ Studio For The First Time Since His Tragic Accident

Following his emotional Today interview from this morning, Matt Lauer continued his chat with Tracy Morgan for NBC Nightly News. This time, the locale would be the familiar confines of studio 8H, the home of Saturday Night Live. This was the first time Morgan had returned to the set since his accident, having missed the #SNL40 celebration earlier this season despite a touching tribute during the broadcast.

Morgan echoed much of the same sentiment from his earlier interview and discussed his goals regarding his career and performing for people once again:

“I love comedy, and I wonder how I’m going to be funny again, remembering my identity,” said the former 30 Rock star. “What do I do? And the fans let me know, ‘We can’t wait for you to come back. We can’t wait for you to come back,’ and I can’t wait to make them laugh again.”

Obviously this is another tough-to-watch interview, but it’s great to know he’s recovering and he’s much better off than previous reports claimed. Hopefully it continues and he can get back to the laughter.

I am really saddened by all this. Such a wildly carefree spirit(Yes, I actually typed that) completely changed by a tragedy. I continue to wish him well.
 
EASTBOUND Team Reunite For THE LEGACY OF A WHITETAIL DEER HUNTER Movie

For those who miss the crude brilliance of HBO’s Eastbound and Down, have heart. The Eastbound team is reuniting for a new film, The Legacy of a Whitetail Deer Hunter. Deadline is reporting that Jody Hill will be directing, with Danny McBride starring alongside (a non-Eastbounder) Josh Brolin.

The Hill/McBride duo will be collaborating again on HBO as well, in the upcoming comedy Vice Principals. But before that, Hill will be returning to feature filmmaking with this new project, his first since 2009’s Observe and Report (the new film is set to begin production in the fall).
 
Review: 'Vacation' Starring Ed Helms, Christina Applegate, Chris Hemsworth, And More

"Vacation" kicks off with a lengthy credit sequence, set to franchise staple Lindsey Buckingham's "Holiday Road," in which a series of wacky and rude vacation photos flip by the screen with each credited name on the production. The effect, which carries through to the movie itself, is like scrolling through a Reddit or Imgur gallery of photos, where after wasting fifteen or twenty minutes mindlessly checking out other people's momentary misery, you've barely managed a smirk, and wonder why you clicked through in the first place. [D]

I actually thought the trailer for this looked funny.
