Sinbad thinks Louis C.K. is dangerously close to losing his mind and pulling a Michael Richards, but he still believes it's a terrible idea to start censoring comedians. We got Sinbad Thursday outside The London Hotel in NYC and asked the comic if he and his peers are running scared in 2019 with all the instant backlash on social media. It's pretty clear he doesn't support Louis' decision to mock the kids who survived the Parkland,...

Louis C.K. deserves to get trashed for telling jokes about Parkland survivors, which just proves Louis is kind of despicable ... so says fellow comedian Ron Funches. Ron came on "TMZ Live" Wednesday making it clear ... he's not a fan of C.K. or his supporters. Ron essentially says Louis is a bottom feeder. i mean he's like a Rw comic now. hes milo pic.twitter.com/QYOGI7TrGa — jack allison (@jackallisonLOL) December 31, 2018 Ron, whose hour-long...

He says Nye gigs are tough as it is 'cause everyone's already faded, and a night of partying for the comic themselves probably ain't the best idea if ya mix the two. Remember, Tiff had said earlier in the day that she'd been out all night raging before her set. Then, Dave pivots to Louis ... saying comics always try new material with smaller crowds that aren't necessarily meant to be heard worldwide. i mean he's like a Rw comic now.

Louis C.K. is getting way too comfortable at the bottom of the comedy barrel ... so says Parkland Shooting survivor Cameron Kasky. But, it's not Louis' latest lowbrow comedy routine attacking victims of the Parkland massacre that has Cameron upset ... the student activist is taking issue with Louis appealing to crowds who find jokes about transgender people and school shootings funny. We got Cameron on Monday, after the father of one of his dead peers ripped...

The father of one of the kids killed in the Parkland Shooting is tearing into Louis C.K. after leaked audio from the comedian's set included a joke about the massacre. Fred Guttenberg -- who lost his 14-year-old daughter Jamie -- in the attack just shared a message for C.K., saying, "To anyone who knows Louis Ck, please deliver this message for me. My daughter was killed in the Parkland shooting. My son ran from the bullets.

Louis C.K. mocked the Parkland high school shooting survivors and gender pronouns in leaked audio from one of the comedian’s recent comeback sets. The recording reportedly captures the comedian’s nearly hour-long routine at Long Island, New York’s Governor’s Comedy Club on December 16th.
“So what kind of a year did you guys have? I bet none of you had the same year that I had. Ever have a whole bad year?” C.K. asked the audience. “My mom still sends me articles about me, like it’s scrapbooking.

Audio from a recent Louis C.K. standup set leaked on YouTube late Sunday night, in which the disgraced comedian made a sharp pivot to alt-right friendly jokes far more offensive than even many of the offensive jokes we’ve heard from him in the past.
He denigrates the survivors of the Parkland, Fl school shooting earlier this year who’ve become high-profile gun control advocates, makes bigoted comments about people who identify as transgender or non-binary, and repeatedly uses the R-word to attack the developmentally disabled.
“They testify in front of Congress, these kids? What are they doing? You’re young! You should be crazy! You should be unhinged! Not in a suit…” C.K. says of the Parkland survivors in the leaked audio. “You’re not interesting. Because you went to a high school where kids got shot? Why does that mean I have to listen to you? Why does that make you interesting?...

As if Louis C.K. hadn't already hit bottom, he just went even lower by attacking victims of the Parkland massacre in a stand-up set ... this according to leaked audio of his new material. In audio that surfaced online Sunday, you can hear Louis performing new jokes in front of an audience ... and, at one point, he mocks the survivors of the Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School shooting from this past February. Specifically, he seems to be talking about Emma Gonzalez,...

The Writers Guild of America has just announced the nominations for their annual awards for Best Screenplays (by writers who are guild signatories). That’s right, before you get nervous thinking that your favorite may have been left off the list, you must remember that the WGA is the group that is not all-inclusive and leaves out several of the top contenders each year due to them not being part of the guild or not following their very specific rules. For this reason, you won’t see Inside Out, The Hateful Eight, and Ex Machina in the Original Screenplay category or Room, Brooklyn, or Anomalisa in the Adapted screenplay category.
Taking a look at what’s left over for the nominations, we find many that were expected to make a showing, including Spotlight and Bridge of Spies for Original Screenplay, though they apparently had to sink to really low depths...

The Writers Guild of America announced the TV nominees for the 2015 WGA Awards on Thursday (December 4) morning and several new shows broke into the fields in a big way. And, of course, there were a number of big WGA Award nomination head-scratchers. Specifically, where the heck was FX's "Fargo"? The answer is below. Making perhaps the biggest splash was "Transparent," which earned three nominations and, since "Orange Is The New Black" earned two nods and "House of Cards" pick up one, that meant that Amazon Prime and Netflix are, at least for one award-giving organization, on equal footing as creators of original programming. The Jill Soloway-created "Transparent" is nominated for New Series, where it will go against "The Affair," "The Knick," "Silicon Valley" and "True Detective." "Transparent" and "Silicon Valley" are also up for Comedy Series, going against "Louie," "Veep" and "Orange Is The New Black." Lest you panic...

ScreenJunkies has debuted their latest Honest Trailer for Michael Bay's Transformers. I love the narration and the straightforward nature that this trailer is presented in. Watch the trailer above and let us know what you think. If I could get back the time wasted watching Transformers, I think that I might try. What about you, would you watch this movie knowing what you know now?
Here is a description:
Based on the cartoon shamelessly designed to sell toys, Michael Bay's Transformers is an incomprehensible mess that doesn't make any sense. But at least there's a lot of porny shots of Megan Fox! #HonestTrailers
Thanks Everybody!! More Honest Trailers are coming!! Tell us in the comments below what movie you'd like to see covered next!!!

Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, Part I is only a few hours away and the frenzy has just begun. A cool way to help pass the time until you see the film is to play Harry Potter and the Summer School Spectre.
It is a series of YouTube videos that take you back to the days of classic classic 8-Bit Final Fantasy games and choosing your own adventure. It is pretty simple to get caught up in this video. As the video plays you can choose what Harry, Ron and Hermione do by selecting various options. Each option leads to a new YouTube video that continues the story until you die.
Harry Potter and the Summer School Spectre was created by The Station and written by Phil Haney, Matty Smith, Jack Allison, and Phillip Mottaz. The animation and music was done by Doctor Octoroc. You can get links to...
