Talking Tree vs. Talking Raccoon, in Brief

Watch Vin Diesel very, very briefly talk about playing a talking tree …

… or Bradley Cooper very, very briefly talk about playing a talking raccoon.

[Disclosure: Grantland and Marvel are owned by the all-powerful Walt Disney Company, which did not pay for the placement of these items. Though they probably don’t hate that we did it. Wow, a new Tesla! Where did that come from? Gotta go!]

The Man from U.N.C.L.E. has a release date. Wait, come back here! You definitely care about the Guy Ritchie reboot of a TV show nobody under the age of 50 has heard of!

Breaking Amish is getting a spinoff series. (They go back.)

Is Matt Lauer actually creepy around a young Olympian? Is Conan just editing him to be creepy? Unclear. (OK, maybe not that unclear.) But: #creepy.

ICYMI: Full House Without Michelle is secretly the “For sale: baby shoes, never worn” of viral videos.

Dogewolf T-shirt is much dire, so Westeros.

Keywords Katy Perry dark horse PINK EGYPT.

Dan Auerbach of the Black Keys is producing Lana Del Rey’s new album.

Maybe it’s time to temper our expectations (did we have any? Can’t remember) for the Heathers musical.
