Following on from Sean Penn's frankly bizarre Oscars comments last night, Open Road Films has dropped a new trailer for his upcoming action thriller, The Gunman. Was the decision to unleash the preview to perhaps capitalize on the actor's oddball antics, or simply because it opens in theaters next month?

If there’s one point that bears repeating with Andrew Haigh’s San Franciscan series, Looking, it’s that the variety of situations the show explores is at times, limited. Understandably, this is not a sitcom. It’s a naturalistic slice o’life drama and by definition everyday life (sadly) isn’t normally fuelled by high-action stakes that demand the suspension of disbelief. The sometimes-repetitious feeling permeating the first five episodes owe a lot to the same sense of history repeating itself that real life offers. Still - this is television!
This week saw the season 4 Blu-ray release of HBO's flagship fantasy, Game Of Thrones. The award-winning, all-encompassing series has kept viewers captivated for five years with its tales of beheadings, bludgeonings and buggery. You name it, they've tried it all in the Seven Kingdoms.

And, lo and behold - here's the latest blooper reel!

Before he heads up his own solo pic, Aquaman is slated to make his big screen debut in Zack Snyder's superhero team-up blockbuster, Batman V Superman: Dawn Of Justice. Yesterday saw the director drop the first Aquaman poster online via Twitter and naturally, this broke the Internet. The poster depicts a hulking Jason Momoa as the titular man. Decked out in tattoos and clutching a five-pronged fork with the words "Unite the seven" in block caps boldly displayed across the image, it harks back to the actor's stint as Khal Drogo on Game Of Thrones.
Between now and the end of the year, expect there to be a plethora - a tidal wave, if you will - of rumored tidbits concerning Star Wars: The Force Awakens.
