Entrepreneurship and the Business Environment in Africa: An Application to Ethiopia
AbstractSince mid-2000s, Ethiopia has been one of the fastest growing countries in the world. However, productive entrepreneurship in high-value added activities has made limited contributions to this growth, in part because of a weak business environment. Moreover, the low-productive firms in the informal sector still account for a large share of employment. Reflecting these facts, this paper presents a model of costly entrepreneurial start-ups in an economy with a large informal sector and rigid business environment where an equilibrium outcome can be a low-skill, low-productivity trap. By fostering productive start-ups and skilled employment, creation of an enabling business environment could help move the Ethiopian economy into high-productivity equilibrium.

Just hours ago it was reported that the Utah Jazz and Golden State Warriors were in trade discussions for Australian big man, Andrew Bogut, but the Golden State Warriors have apparently taken him off the market – at least for now.
According to ESPN's Marc Stein, the Warriors are no longer offering up Bogut in deals, just the expiring contracts of Richard Jefferson and Andris Biedrins.
Per Stein:
Also: Latest signals on Warriors say GS-Dubs still aggressively exploring their trade options but ONLY w/Jefferson & Biedrins. NOT Bogut
While it would be nice for the Warriors to keep Bogut, assuming they could somehow sign Howard, no teams are going to take Jefferson or Biedrins without some extra compensation. Bogut alone has enough trade value to move himself (or with a small extra piece), Jefferson and Biedrins do not.
Of course, the Warriors could throw in picks and or young talent in a deal to entice a team, but they'd clearly have a much easier time trading the expiring contract of Andrew Bogut.

In the hinterlands of Haryana, Andhra Pradesh, and Rajasthan, scores of women are being trained to be employed in BPOs set up by Ajay Chaturvedi, a BITS Pilani alumnus and former Citibank employee.
Ajay (38) had quit a flourishing career abroad to embark on a spiritual journey in the Himalayas which eventually led to his founding of HarVa (Harnessing Value of Rural India), a 'for profit rural enterprise'.
Thanks to his organization, about thousand women, many of them just high school drop-outs, now operate computers with ease and have acquired the skills to work in BPOs.
The women are trained for about 3-4 months before they are put on the job, where depending upon their skill levels, and the amount of time they spend in the 'digital huts' they earn anywhere between Rs.3500 – Rs.8000 per month.
HarVa recently bagged a project with an MNC in the US, which can provide jobs for about 100 women. "At one stage we had 11 BPOs, but we have scaled it down to 4 units due to management issues. We are opening a unit shortly in Rajgharh in Rajasthan," says Ajay.
The workforce fluctuates according to the job at hand. Up to 400 women get jobs when the workload is at its peak.
Ajay set up the first rural BPO in 2009 in Bhiwadi, Rajasthan. He later forayed into community farming initiatives, and set up student help desks.
In the farming sector, Ajay encourages farmers to opt for crop diversification to boost their income. He offers suggestions on what crops are suited to a particular area.
He also counsels them on using appropriate irrigation methods. In Uttarakhand, he asked farmers who were cultivating Eucalyptus to switch to mango cultivation, as the former sucked a lot of ground water.
The student help desks, which function in Haryana, Rajasthan, Andhra Pradesh, Uttar Pradesh, and Meghalaya, offer free career counseling. Thousands of enquiries have poured in, and they have been unable to respond to each of the enquiries. "We have been able to attend to only about 5000 enquiries. Thousands more are awaiting our response," says Ajay.
After working abroad for some time, Ajay returned to India determined to find answers to the questions of life that had been haunting him since he was a student at Wharton.
"My spiritual quest began at 26 in Business Strategy class at Wharton. I started the self inquiry then. At 33, I went to the Himalayas and spent time with my guruji. At 36, I started HarVa," says Ajay.
His story reminds one of Robin Sharma's bestseller, 'The Monk Who Sold His Ferrari,' which talks about oriental wisdom and lets you delve deeper into yourself to understand life from a different perspective.
"People thought I gave up (when I went to the Himalayas), I didn't give up but gained much more," says Ajay.
Wandering in the Himalayas he observed the villages at close quarters and that provided the spark for HarVa, which he established in his words, as a 'socio-capitalist business model.'
In 2011, he acquired a company 'Source Pilani,' a for-profit village based BPO that leveraged low cost rural talent and inexpensive infrastructure to provide services to companies at unmatched price.
The Rajgarh based company had strong capabilities in medical transcription, social media monitoring and regional language voice services. It also provided solutions for business support functions like data processing, software testing and call center support.
But ask him why he has started only 'all women' BPOs? He says he had no plans as such, but it so happened that only women lapped up the opportunity of working in a BPO when he went knocking at the villages.
Women responded well. "I neither preached to them nor questioned them about their customs, traditions, attire or anything, but just went there with a proposal for free computer training to all," says Ajay.
The rural women proved quick learners. Even those who had studied only up to class eight and were seeing computers for the first time learned to use a keyboard within 4 hours, he says.
He is experimenting with solar energy and 'gobar gas' plant to power the centres. The pilot project is yielding encouraging results. "The dung from 50 cows is enough to run 40-45 computers," he reveals.
Ajay steers clear of terms such as 'women empowerment,' saying, "when women are equal to men, where is the question of empowering them."
He recalls an old Chinese adage, 'Give a man a fish and you feed him for a day. Teach a man to fish and you feed him for a lifetime' and says that one has to do a bit more – dig a pond, fill it with rain harvested water, culture fish, and buy back fish from the man!
Ajay's philosophy for HarVa is perhaps encapsulated in the above words.

It's been six years since Office viewers got a taste of the Dundies, but judging from Thursday's episode, Dunder Mifflin's greatest honor has lost its shine. Back when we attended the first Dundies at the beginning of Season 2, fans had no idea what would become of Meredith's excessive drinking, Michael's affection for song parodies and then-temp Ryan and the close friendship between Jim and Pam, but the episode came just as the then-struggling U.S. adaptation was about to enter the pop culture zeitgeist. Seasons later, what Pam lovingly referred to as "the best Dundies ever!" is still a favorite among Office diehards.
Survivor: Redemption Island player David Murphy started the game in one of this season's strongest alliances — the alliance of six on the Zapatera tribe.

"I think there was just a different mentality between the other five and myself," the 31-year-old Los Angeles lawyer tells TVGuide.com.

Uh-oh, linking to photobucket.com looks to be an issue...
I just tested it with your account and it went through just fine.
I was able to repeat your error IF you click on my profile and select "send e-mail." I don't believe I set that fully up, and I get the error you pasted above. But, under Messages, I too pressed "Send New Message," and entered "BFFC Admin" into the To: field, along with a subject and message. Viola, works, no error.
Private messaging is working. I just send you a test. What were you trying to do and where did you click?
If this happens again, please include the URL.
Now over the 5,000 post mark with 144 message board members, while being online in this form for two and a half months.
Keep linking. We return the love. Support the old fashioned way, without strong arm politics and forgotten endorsement.
Jeremy Bulloch contributed for several years before starting JeremyBulloch.com. Daniel Logan got in touch through his agent and has answered a handful of questions. Thus, "Ask Fett" groups both collaborations. More to come as this site continues to evolve.
Mark Austin contributed several chapters of his unpublished Boba Fett novel, as well as some pictures from behind the scenes of A New Hope: Special Edition. As he no longer works at Disney, apparently, I don't know how to get in touch with him again. Mark, you out there?
Anyone have more information about this one? It's a bit tricky to track down on the Internet, even for me...
Yes, that's the benefit of the cookie. It should reset and work again if you check the box.
Also, the server time was off. Times should be Pacific USA now, but I guess were accidentally Central USA.
We should be all set now, hopefully kissing goodbye a few unfortunate (and unfortunately unfriendly) error messages.
If you're using any stored preferences to login, they may have been reset.
You could always e-mail your favorite web sites that you enjoy this.
That said, this board has been very fast to build up since changing the setup here to a stronger board system.
Certainly every username isn't taken. There are 288 users. The service, running through BigMailBox.com, should be working. E-mail or private message me directly if you have account questions.

(WMC TV) - We'll call him "Keith." He's from Covington, TN.
He wants an answer from AT&T, and he wants it now.
"My latest phone bill has a new ($1.99) fee on it: 'Tennessee Regulatory Authority Inspection Fee,'" he wrote in his e-mail. "I called AT&T, but did not get a good answer from them."
You won't get any answer from them, Keith. At least we couldn't.
But I know what the fee is -- and I know AT&T is the only carrier charging it.
The Tennessee Regulatory Authority is the state's telecommunications regulator. The fee, allowed under state law, is an optional monthly fee AT&T and other carriers may levy on their customers in order to recoup the costs of TRA inspections of carriers' lines, services, equipment, etc.
"AT&T plans to assess the fee only this year twice, but it reserves the right to exercise the option in subsequent years," said TRA spokesperson Greg Mitchell. "Any utility company may exercise the option according to the statute.
"Typically, companies will advise us in advance of assessing the fee, but we are not aware of others assessing the fee at this time."
"AT&T has no additional comment," said Cathy Lewandowski, AT&T's Corporate Communications spokesperson.
The only phone company levying the fee has no comment. Hmmm....

Petition Calls for Cancellation of Robin Thicke Show
Good luck with this one, hippies.
Good luck with this one, hippies.
Ultra sucked for this dude...
The news has never been this funky.
We recently reported that Selena Gomez and One Direction's Niall Horan snapped a picture together while hanging out in London, which immediately set the dating rumors into overdrive. Well, guess what? Taylor Swift is supposedly the mastermind behind the whole pop star set-up.
Miley clearly wants you to know she likes weed.
The 2014 ELLE Style Awards took place in London last night (Feb. 18), with Katy Perry nabbing the Woman of the Year honor and doing so in a floral Vivienne Westwood frock. Fellow singers Ellie Goulding and Lily Allen were there, as was actress Emma Watson.
Julianne Hough graces the cover of Self Magazine's March 2014 issue -- and she is spilling some personal details about her dating life. Following her split from Ryan Seacrest in March 2013, after three years together, the actress and singer vowed to spend an entire year being single.
No animosity here!
"It" model Cara Delevingne hangs out with lots of famous people – Rihanna, Rita Ora, Taylor Swift. But she was seen canoodling and engaging in plenty of PDA with 'Avatar' actress Michelle Rodriguez while courtside at an NBA game in NYC last month, leading to rumors that the ladies were a romantic item. It appears that Rodriguez has casually confirmed that something is indeed up between the lovely ladies.
Leonardo DiCaprio may have turned down a role in the cult classic 'Hocus Pocus,' but his lack of singing talent lost him the part of Christian in 'Moulin Rouge.'
Womp, womp.

It's only 2.5 miles away from the Westin, but it's not even close to being the same kind of hotel. I'm here on 3/27 for a conference and couldn't get into the conference hotel. Don't be confused - this is an older property that's been upgraded to be a borderline 4-star family vacation hotel. I got a $12 burger for lunch in the loud restaurant and it was terrible. I think the kithen is using some kind of "toasting oil" on the bread that leaves a bitter aftertate. The service was incredibly slow. The room is decent enough, but like most posters, I found the rooms to be small, but it was clean. The high-speed internet doesn't work. I called tech support last night and they said there was an issue, but at noon on 3/28 it's still out. The drive between the Westin and here isn't that bad, but you do have to put up with merging into crazy Sunday traffic with no traffic lights, lots of red-light cameras, and slow-driving floridians on the road. The Westin and Crown Plaza are much better choices. Pay more to stay where you really need to be.
- Official Description (provided by the hotel):
- New carpeting and chairs now in every room!Situated apart from the busy strip of tourist hotels near Fort Lauderdale, you will find a relaxing getaway at our casual, boutique-style hotel in Hollywood, Florida.

they're like tiny 8-legged cats
how can anyone hate them
Spiders are huge derps, pass it on.
My dad used to work as a mechanic in Arizona and he said that wild tarantulas would just wander into the shop and try and cuddle with the mechanics under the trucks. Spiders really dig car exhaust smell for some reason and they would be like "ah yes this human smells nice let me sit on your face while you're working or perhaps climb into your pocket and see what you have" and the mechanics would keep shooing the spiders out but the spiders would follow them back like "No why would you leave me human friend??"
reblogging for the story, eeee
spiders are the derpiest things though like have you ever played with a spider and a laser pointer, because I thought my lizards chasing the laser was adorable but leT ME TELL U, BLACK WIDOWS CHASING LASERS IS FRICKEN ADORABLE
So I hate spiders but this makes them seem a bit cuter lol
Yeah no I still aint fucking with no spiders

1'The Hunger Games: Mockingjay – Part 1′ gets its first trailer
In case you live under a rock and/or have never used the internet, this past weekend was San Diego Comic-Con, the biggest gathering of nerds in the US of A (and I say that as someone who's been before and thinks it's great). Comic-Con tends to get some of the biggest exclusives on new movie releases, and this year was no exception. The first teaser, called "Our Leader the Mockingjay", was released for The Hunger Games: Mockingjay – Part 1 this weekend, and oh man, I can't wait for this shit.
Here it is, in all its glory:
What do you think? Have you enjoyed the other movies? Will you see this one?
July 28, 2014 at 6:30 am by Jennifer
0'The Hunger Games: Mockingjay' Has Its First Poster!
If you're like most of the world, you saw and loved the second installment of The Hunger Games: Catching Fire and you're looking forward to the third (and fourth!) film. Well, you've got less than a year to wait and now we've got a teaser poster to keep us going!
As you can see, the Mockingjay poster reveals… absolutely nothing and is in no way exciting, but it's the official start of promotion for the film, which is pretty exciting. I know, I know, we're all getting a little disillusioned with having Jennifer Lawrence shoved down our throats nonstop, but come on – she's brilliant as Katniss. This is gonna be great!
January 23, 2014 at 4:30 pm by Jennifer
1It's The Final 'Hunger Games' Trailer!
The Hunger Games: Catching Fire is finally hitting theatres next month, and it's about damn time. We've had several sneak peeks at what we can expect, but now there's a FINAL trailer and oh man, it looks great!
Admittedly, the books are way better than the movies could ever be, but it's still great to watch. Will you go see it next month?
October 28, 2013 at 10:30 am by Jennifer
3Someone Called Jennifer Lawrence Fat
Jennifer Lawrence is awesome and pretty much the world's best friend, so it might make you mad to know that once upon a time, some Hollywood asshole told her she was too fat and that she needed to drop a few pounds or else risk getting fired from a job. Lovely, eh?
From Harper's Bazaar:
"I was young. It was just the kind of shit that actresses have to go through.
"Somebody told me I was fat, that I was going to get fired if I didn't lose a certain amount of weight.
"They brought in pictures of me where I was basically naked, and told me to use them as motivation for my diet."
"[People think] that because of the way my career had gone, it wouldn't still hurt me. That somehow, after I won an Oscar, I'm above it all."
"'You really still care about that?' Yeah. I was a little girl. I was hurt. It doesn't matter what accolades you get."I know it'll never happen to me again. If anybody even tries to whisper the word 'diet', I'm like, 'You can go f**k yourself'."
Now, Jennifer is gorgeous and IN NO WAY FAT, but of course you can never be thin enough in Hollywood, so this isn't at all surprising. But seriously, why are people such dickheads? Anyway, I guess she got the last laugh (even though she obviously has lost weight/got super in shape, but that's sorta by happenstance given her Hunger Games role)… it's just unfortunate that this body image shit will never change.

2Coldplay Did a Song For the New 'Hunger Games' Movie
I know Coldplay gets a hard time from plenty of people these days, but I love them. I always have (even though I fell off for a few albums), but after hitting up a show on the Mylo Xyloto tour at a stadium in Sunderland last summer, I was fully back on board. It was freezing cold and pouring down with rain so we were soaked to the bone all day, but that almost made it better. They are so good, so everyone shut up (unless you agree – then by all means, keep talking! lolz).
In any case, Coldplay have unveiled a preview of their new track 'Atlas', which will be part of the Hunger Games: Catching Fire soundtrack – the first time they've ever written a song specially for a movie. Woo hoo.
Catching Fire's director Francis Lawrence had this to say about Coldplay's involvement:
"I have great respect and admiration for Coldplay, and we are thrilled with how well they have connected to the themes and ideas within the film," director Francis Lawrence recently said of Coldplay's involvement in the film.
"Their unwavering passion and excitement for the project elevated the collaboration even further, and we can't wait to share this music with audiences around the world."
It's a bit slow, but I like it well enough, and I can see it going well with the movie. What do you think?

Everyone is getting pretty excited for the big screen adaptation of Divergent, the awesome YA dystopian novel, and I can't wait, either. While we've seen our first teaser trailer, the film now has its first featurette. Stars Shailene Woodley, Kate Winslet and the book's author, Veronica Roth, came together to discuss the adaptation, the premise, etc to continue to build momentum leading up to its release – which isn't until March 2014, unfortunately.
Have you guys read the book? Will you see the movie? Obviously The Hunger Games started this whole trend, but there have been some other great, unique stories to come out of the genre and I think Divergent is one of them.

6 Tips for Video Marketing on Facebook
The best social media site to date
Facebook the best social media site to date and it an extremely powerful platform, not only does it connect people, it also connects brands, charities and entire nations. As I mentioned in my previous post Facebook has the potential to get you a lot of traffic targeted traffic.
Top tips for marketing your videos on Facebook
- Always have a plan: Like with all your marketing efforts, make sure you have a plan. Don't just start making random video and hope your audience will bit the bait.
- Make it entertaining or informative: Let's be honest, we don't go onto Facebook to get bored out of our heads, on the contrary, we go onto Facebook to because we bored.
- Use Facebook Paid Advertising: Facebook PPC is a very affordable and could potentially give your video thousands of views and shares. Just make sure to follow point one and you should do well
- The more videos you post the better: Facebook, like Google runs on content. People go onto their favorite social networking website to keep busy and get informed. Your Facebook audience will quicker watch a video then read an article, so try to post as many videos as you can, to keep them engaged.
- Try posting out of business times: Have a go I dare you! I promise you will be surprised. Don't just post your marketing video during office hours. Your most of your audience might be busy then, expand you reach and share your videos later in the day.
- Dont Spam: Whatever you do, please don't spam your Facebook friends or followers, as a rule of thumb, 1 marketing post for every 9 posts. Don't just bombard people with your content Facebook is about engaging your audience.
What is you experience in using video marketing on Facebook? Do you do anything different?

Yoga has been working miracles on people's health, peace of mind and flexibility for millenniums. Jean Marie Moore and Katrina LaShea recently opened a yoga studio called Anasa in the Laurel District of East Oakland. Their original goal was to wake Black people up to the health benefits of yoga, so they built it smack-dab in a retail area within Oakland's Black community. They offer all kinds of classes including yoga, Tai Chi, Qi Gong – for beginners as well as experienced practitioners.

For some very odd reason I've been on a Spinach kick lately. I'm not sure why, seeing as I've never been all that fond of it. It all started when I was going to make the Lasagna Rolls and I decided to add some Spinach into the Ricotta mixture. It turned out so good that I've been wanting more! So I decided to make Chicken Stuffed with Spinach and Sharp Provolone. So I was set out to do this in 5 Ingredients!
- boneless skinless chicken breasts
- 1 bag of fresh spinach
- garlic olive oil (you can buy this, or make it yourself)
- sharp provolone cheese
- fresh thyme (not pictured)
- salt & pepper (freebies)
Preheat oven to 425 degrees.
If I don't buy Baby Spinach, I like to take all of the stems off of the Spinach. I'm just really not a fan of the stems. So after doing that, I added some Garlic Olive Oil into a pan over medium heat. Add in all of the Spinach and season with Fresh Thyme, Salt & Pepper. It will cook down a lot. Don't be surprised! Once it's done, place in a bowl and set aside.
Garlic Olive Oil
Add in Spinach and season it
Meanwhile, if you have thick Boneless Skinless Chicken Breasts, cut them in half. Pound each half (I usually put the chicken between a few pieces of Saran Wrap) so that it's thin. It should look something like this:
Flattened Chicken
Add Spinach
Add Sharp Provolone and Roll it up!
Once I roll the Chicken up, I usually secure it with a toothpick. I find that to be easier than trying to put it seam side down and losing everything, lol! You then want to repeat this with the other pieces of chicken. Place in a baking dish with some of that Garlic Olive Oil brushed on the bottom.
Hanging out in the Baking Dish
Bake in a Preheated oven (425 degrees) for about 30 minutes or until juices run clear. If you have thicker pieces of chicken, it will take longer to cook. It's pretty easy to judge when the chicken is done. I add a little bit more cheese on the top about 5 minutes before it's going to come out of the oven. There is no such thing as too much cheese!
The Finished Product
Chicken Stuffed with Spinach & Sharp Provolone

2 to 3 point and top link bracket

Notice: For sale and wanted posts are not allowed in this forum. Please use our free classifieds or one of our site sponsors for your tractor and parts needs.
Re: 2 to 3 point and top link bracket
I've seen that part but never had one in my hands. I have never seen it in a parts book, thus suspect it to be aftermarket. The picture here almost looks like there is a part number. If it is IH and I had the number, I could probably find what model tractor it was made for.
Re: 2 to 3 point and top link bracket
Hey Jim,
Thanks for the response----if you looks on Messicks site and go to Farmall 240 then click attachments, then click #348 and look at that picture, it shows a part # 372968R1 as a bracket for an industrial three point hitch------what do you think?????
Re: 2 to 3 point and top link bracket
That isn't it. That bracket attaches to the top of the transmission cover with 3 bolts. It bolts to a mounting pad that was added for the 240, thus no place to mount it on earlier models. It fits whether the tractor has a PTO or not.
Re: 2 to 3 point and top link bracket
Got it, thanks Jim, have you ever seen one of the part # I listed????????????????
Re: 2 to 3 point and top link bracket
Are you asking about the part tmays posted a picture of or part 372968R1?
I've seen 372968R1, but only seen pictures of the other one.
Re: 2 to 3 point and top link bracket
372968R1 and what tractor was it on???
Re: 2 to 3 point and top link bracket
rexxon, it was on the 240.
The 240 has an additional mounting pad on top of the transmission cover for a toplink. 372968R1 will not work on a Super C.
Re: 2 to 3 point and top link bracket
That is a very nice job on your conversion Smokeycub!
The top link plate seems to be very hard to find. I've been looking for a very long time and they just don't show up. Finally I made mine this weekend - then I saw this thread. My SC came with a delete plate and no pulley so I didn't have to make it seal. I still have to wallow one of the holes to fit all 4 bolts so it is not bolted on yet.
I'm attaching some pix I have found along the way that are not already in this post that might give some ideas:
This one can be bought at tonystractors-dot-com/ih3ph.htm by itself without the prongs and it lets you keep the pulley.
hard to see but bolts to the sides of the trans

Re: 2 to 3 point and top link bracket
Thanks Jim for pitching in and trying to help. Somewhere out there (maybe) is at least a mold for that casting. Ah well.... I'd say MM that you have been looking for quite a while! The problem with putting a bracket behind the right angle drive is it makes the length available for the actual top link pretty short, so short that most links won't work. Yours is positioned high enough that it should work nicely with about any top link. I saw the bracket in the drawing which is what I kinda patterned mine after. Interestingly with the delete plate (without the right angle drive) there is no gear oil to deal with, it's a separate oil reservoir for the drive.

Zoo Disc Golf Wii
- Publisher: Sonalysts
- Release Date: Jun 7, 2010
- Summary: [WiiWare] Each zoo enclosure is a "hole" in the Zoo Disc Golf course. The objective of the game is to get your disc into each "goal" using the fewest number of throws - the "goal" being the Emergency Animal Control station in each enclosure. A throw of the disc is equivalent to a stroke in golf and counts as one point. Available characters are the Rockhopper Penguin, Kangaroo, Panda and Meerkat. The Zoo Disc Golf course is made up of 18 holes. Each player is allowed a maximum of 10 strokes on each hole. When players reach 10 strokes, they move to the next hole with those 10 points added to their score.… Collapse
- Developer: Sonalysts
- Genre(s): Arcade
- # of players: 1-4
- Cheats: On GameFAQs
- More Details and Credits »
Score distribution:
Positive: 0 out of 2
Mixed: 0 out of 2
Negative: 2 out of 2
Zoo Disc Golf is too rough to recommend, even though it does have a handful of new ideas.
Nearly every facet of Zoo Disc Golf's execution is completely broken: the controls are fidgety and inaccurate, the game's presentation is some of the worst on Wii and it does all of this while being completely unenjoyable.

'The Wolverine' Blu-ray Coming in December With New, Extended and Unrated Cut
'The Wolverine' was one of the most pleasant surprises of the summer, a shockingly low key and self-contained superhero story that valued its characters above action. Well, at least until the third act, but that's a complaint for another time and place. The good news is that 'The Wolverine' DVD and Blu-ray will arrive on December 3 with an unrated version, allowing for more Wolverine-stabs-ninjas action than ever before!
'SNL' Welcomes Back Drunk Uncle and Introduces Aaron Paul as "Meth Nephew"
Now that Bill Hader and Stefon have departed the show, we find ourselves treasuring every other recurring 'SNL' character and treating every appearance as if it's their last. That's just a long-winded way of saying "Welcome back, Drunk Uncle!" Bobby Moynihan's rambling, all-too honest (and all-too real) character once again graced the Weekend Update desk with his presence, updating us with his thoughts on current events and introducing us to a member of his extended family.
'SNL' and Tina Fey Want to Sell You Some "Manolo Blahniks"
We're not entirely sure when Vanessa Bayer and Cecily Strong's porn stars turned TV saleswomen become two of our favorite recurring 'SNL' characters, but bless 'em: we're so glad that these bizarre people get to grace our television a couple times a year. Of course, the only way to possibly make it better is to add Tina Fey, and wouldn't you know it, the legendary 'SNL' alum stepped in quite gamely in the 39th season premiere!
'SNL' Adds Tina Fey to the Cast of 'Girls'
'SNL' has never been shy about taking on some of the most popular and controversial topics in the modern world, so it's about time it finally got around to making fun of HBO's divisive 'Girls.' In a fake promo for a new season of Lena Dunham's acclaimed show, guest host Tina Fey and the rest of the cast propose some changes to the program's dynamic that we can't help but wish would actually come to pass.
'+1′ Trailer: A NSFW Trip Into a Killer Party
The latest '+1' trailer may initially make the film look like a fairly normal "teens go partying and learn life lessons" movie, but there's a lot more going on. After all, a movie about a party is just another teen flick, but a movie about a party where a freak supernatural occurrence causes a group of friends to go back in time and relive the party with their past selves is something else altogether.
'Toy Story of Terror' Trailer: First Look at Footage From Pixar's First TV Special
The 'Toy Story' gang may have had a memorable cinematic farewell with the wonderful 'Toy Story 3,' but we're not done with Bonnie's (formerly Andy's) toys quite yet! The Woody, Buzz and the rest of the group are going to make their television debut with 'Toy Story of Terror,' a made-for-TV Halloween special that will attempt to bring some of that Pixar magic to the small screen. The first two promos for the special have arrived and ... it looks like more 'Toy Story.' That's a good thing, right?
Here's How You Can Be in 'Fast and Furious 7′
Dangerous car chases through heavily populated urban environments has always been a cornerstone of the wonderfully ludicrous 'Fast and Furious' series and the latest film is certainly not going to be an exception. Filming is currently underway on 'Fast and Furious 7' and the production is looking for some fans to fill out some key scenes.
'Need For Speed' First Look: Aaron Paul Trades in Blue Meth For Fast Cars
Could the adaptation of the long-running racing series 'Need For Speed' be the first great movie based on a video game? We're not going to make any wild and crazy guesses, but for the sake of star Aaron Paul, we certainly hope so. The 'Breaking Bad' star is headlining the film alongside Dominic Cooper and now we have our first look at the two of them in character.
'Independence Day 2′: Will Smith to Return After All?
The last time director Roland Emmerich talked about 'Independence Day 2,' original franchise star Will Smith was not going to be involved. At all. He was "too expensive," a "marquee name" who would be "too much." But a few months (and some time to think about the bomb that was 'After Earth') can make all the difference in the world -- it looks like Smith may end up joining the highly anticipated sequel after all.
'Transformers 4′ Confirms the Involvement of Dinobots
'Transformers 4' has been filming for a few months now, but other than the occasional set photo or video of something blowing up, things have been pretty quiet. Little questions like "What's the movie even about?" continue to go unanswered. And to be perfectly honest, those questions will continue to go unanswered for the time being ... but at least we now know that the film will somehow involve robots that can transform into dinosaurs.
'Fast and Furious 7′ Gets Even More Badass as Kurt Russell Joins the Cast
A few weeks ago, we reported that Denzel Washington had turned down a role in the upcoming 'Fast and Furious 7.' Now, Variety is reporting that the great Kurt Russell is in talks to step into the part instead. Goodbye, Mr. Washington. We love you, but this is a case where you will not be missed.
'The Expendables 3′ First Look: Arnold Schwarzenegger and Harrison Ford Team Up!
The biggest appeal of the 'Expendables' franchise has always been seeing all your favorite aging action stars on the screen at same time, even when they have no reason to be in the same movie. However, nothing has come close to the pure, unfiltered weirdness of seeing Arnold Schwarzenegger on the same set as Harrison Ford. The former Terminator/Governor shared an image of them on the set of 'The Expendables 3' and it's just plain strange. While they've always existed on the same world, they feel like two people from different dimensions.
