'Game Of Thrones' Star Opens Up About 'Love Actually'
Jojen Reed (Thomas Brodie-Sangster) is one of the newest additions to HBO's "Game of Thrones" in its current third season, but his face likely looks familiar to many.The actor, now 22, starred in the 2003 Christmas movie "Love Actually" as Liam Neeson's stepson and young romantic Sam. Though his new mysterious role in Bran Stark's (Isaac Hempstead-Wright) life on "Game of Thrones" is a far cry from Sam, Brodie-Sangster looks back on the movie fondly, even though he can't escape it."I'm still very proud of it, although it does follow me an awful lot even today," he told Access Hollywood with a ... more
Adrienne Becker: Ad-Friendly Sexcoms: The Mom Conundrum
While leaning in at a recent pitch meeting, I presented the first episode of our new show
Bench Warmers to two programming execs at a major media company. They offered
this kernel of wisdom: eavesdropping on the sexually explicit conversation of four
middle-aged moms on a park bench, their kids playing nearby, is not "ad-friendly," not a
good fit for brand marketing.
Whoa... Not ad-friendly? Is it because these are middle-aged women discussing the
merits of hiring a babysitter for sex or the inexcusable inequalities in the nomenclature
of oral sex?
How could I argue? What precedents for this t... more
John Hoffman: Where Is The Weight of the Nation Today?
When The Weight of the Nation premiered in May 2012, HBO and its partners did everything in their power (trust me, no expense was spared) to sound the loudest possible alarm that obesity is the single most important driver of chronic disease and disability in this country, and that it could be the reason why children born in the US today might have shorter lives than their parents. On May 7, 2013, HBO will once again call attention to the obesity crisis when it premieres the three-part series, The Weight of the Nation for Kids. Why should all families, all schools, all community leaders, all... more
