‘24: Live Another Day’ Is So Close You Can Taste the Gunpowder
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b1JtkqrTsU0It’s been a scary world, these four years without vigilante snarl-master Jack Bauer around to save us. Fortunately Kiefer Sutherland’s alter ego used the down time to master the art of saving the world in exactly half the time. Thus 24: Live Another Day, a limited-edition comeback, is just 12 episodes, and EVERY. SECOND. COUNTS. Jack’s fugitive adventure kicks off in London with a two-hour premiere on May 5.
Did we know that New Girl’s Jake Johnson is doing Jurassic World: Chris Pratt vs. the Dinosaurs? Well, he’s already breaking the news to reporters that the dinos aren’t real. :(

If none of your real-life buds have visited the beautiful Broad City yet and you’re feeling lonely as you get psyched for tonight’s Season 1 finale, Ilana and Abbi are there for you. (This post is also safe and encouraged for Broad City fanatics.)
