LACMA has had a great string of live reads lately. But a key area they’ve missed is animated/live-action hybrid films starring all-time great athletes alongside Looney Tunes. So it was that Funny or Die and UCB hosted a live read of Space Jam with Nick Kroll (whose favorite memory of the movie is the time he never ever saw it), Danielle Fishel, Seth Green, Paul Scheer, Parks and Recreation’s Ben Schwartz, DeAndre Jordan (big Monstars fan) as Charles Barkley, and Blake Griffin (who once had a Space Jam birthday party as a kid) as MJ. Have fun, kids.

These are all the Game of Thrones recastings you might not have noticed (or ever known about, in the case of a few from the unaired original pilot).

Also, these new Game of Thrones banner ads understand the Internet perfectly.

There’s a Big Lebowski Easter egg in FX’s Fargo!

Diss James Franco’s Broadway debut, get called “a little bitch.”

Bored? Of course you are. Try some Scandal mad-libs.

Did anyone else think Drake’s “Pound Cake” opened with his dad or uncle or elderly buddy talking? Welp, it was actually an old sample from 1982, and Drizzy’s being sued for $300,000. (Which, c’mon, is pocket money to him.)

This is what it’s like to cowrite someone’s autobiography.

John Legend is making a found-footage dance movie.

Orphan Black’s Tatiana Maslany is doing an indie with Penn Badgley and Richard Kind. Titled The Paper Store, it’s “a revenge tale about a former college student who forges essays for cash, the client who becomes her lover, and their professor.”

Amy Poehler and Will Arnett are just now getting divorced.

Now you can hear the André 3000 collaboration from Future’s Honest. It didn’t appear on the album stream the other day, and it’s great.

And the starry lineup for this year’s Cannes Film Festival includes The Homesman (directed by Tommy Lee Jones, starring Jones, Hilary Swank, Meryl Streep, and Hailee Steinfeld); Moneyball director Bennett Miller’s Foxcatcher (starring Steve Carell, Channing Tatum, and Mark Ruffalo); David Cronenberg’s Map to the Stars (starring Robert Pattinson, John Cusack, and Julianne Moore); and mucho more.
