Lena Dunham Tweets Her Outrage Over 'Girls' Porn Parody
Lena Dunham has spoken out against plans to make a porn parody of her hit TV show Girls, insisting the video goes against the series' feminist ideology.
Executives at Hustler have commissioned an adult film version of the show called This Ain't Girls XXX, with porn stars taking on the characters made famous by Dunham and her cast mates.
Nonetheless, Dunham, who created the show, is adamant she can't just laugh off the porn tribute as she finds the idea deeply troubling.
On her Twitter.com page, she writes, "I wish I had a better attitude about the Girls porn parody. I really can never...

'Game Of Thrones' Recap: 'Second Sons' - Tyrion And Sansa Wed
Last night's "Game of Thrones" was another seminar in set-up, which is fine, since this book-reader knows what’s in store for these final two episodes (and it’s pure craziness, rest assured). Still, “Storm of Swords,” the book on which this season is based, is dizzyingly epic, and it’s a little disappointing what they’re choosing to save for next season – some of that could easily be applied to episodes like this to speed things along. Alas, we’re left with at least one extremely badass moment (from Sam, of all people!) and a lo of talking heads before that.

'Family Tree' Preview: Christopher Guest Takes His Comedy Formula To HBO
Long before The Office, Parks and Recreation, and Modern Family turned the mockumentary into a sitcom staple, Christopher Guest cornered the genre on the silver screen. With comedy classics like Best in Show, Waiting for Guffman, This is Spinal Tap, and A Mighty Wind under his belt, it’s no surprise that Guest decided to bring his brand of entertainment to television.
With Family Tree, Guest and co-writer/creator Jim Piddock have taken his classic formula and squeezed it down to a thirty-minute episode format for HBO, turning it into a clever semi-improvised comedy following that single-ca...

'Game Of Thrones' Recap: 'The Climb' Slows Things Down... For Now
Part-way through last night's new "Game of Thrones" episode, "The Climb" (not the Miley Cyrus song, but a weird metaphor for ascending the top tier of Westeros politics), Theon's still-nameless torturer uttered a line so on-point for the series that it felt like a purely meta conversation-starter: "If you think this has a happy ending, you haven't been paying attention." That's sort of "Game of Thrones" in a nuthsell, no? And it spoke odes to where a lot of our favorites ended up last night. Because in Westeros, happy news is always terrible news.

'Game Of Thrones' Recap: 'Kissed By Fire' Packed With Schemes And Developments
If "Game of Thrones" is about one thing, it isn't war or honor, death or betrayal, succession or glory. It is, funny enough, about family, or the frayed remnants of whatever that word means to the individual. For Robb, that family is Talisa, his mother and the siblings he believes dead. For Daenerys, it's her dragons and the memory of her dead brothers, husband and son. For the Lannisters, it's the strange but unspoken sense of loyalty that binds them as one ragged, but surprisingly sturdy, unit. The boundaries between all the different families, from the blood-related to the scrounged and ...

'Game Of Thrones' Recap: 'And Now His Watch Is Ended' Was Simply Epic
Well. That was a big one, no? DANERYS TARGARYEN, LADIES AND GENTLEMEN. Everything was great, but those last ten minutes wiped the floor with whatever came before, both in the episode and the season (and maybe the series). After an entire second season of middling Dany storylines - an obvious ploy to kick her tertiary book plot up a notch - this felt like sweet, sweet vindication.
But first things first: what in the sweet hell is Varys doing with that dude in a trunk? That was some straight up Harry Potter business, like MadEye Moody in his office chest. After a rousing story about his cast...
