The Scoop for Dec. 5, 2018

Ryan Reynolds gave us a lesson in recent film history yesterday, and it was pretty enlightening. Because according to Ryan, if you watch the movie Frozen backwards, it’s a, “shot for shot remake of The Exorcist.” Does that make Olaf Linda Blair or Pazuzu?

So Ellen is heading to Netflix on December 18th for a stand up special. I always liked Ellen’s stand up. Here’s to hoping she’s still got it. I mean, it’s been 15 years since she’s hit the stage.

For some reason, Megan Fox has a new four-episode show on The Travel Channel called “Legends of the Lost with Megan Fox”, and that’s where we found out Megan is afraid of the dark, but there’s a reason.
“‘Cuz I’m really sensitive to energies and spirits and spirits and things like that.”
It’s not the energy or spirits that scare her, it’s the “thing’s like that” that really creep her out.

Bonus Scoopage:
Tom Cruise didn’t risk life and limb for you to see Mission: Impossible — Fallout on a TV that makes it look like a soap opera, and he wants to let you know that he’s fighting to change this. In a new public service announcement posted from the set of Top Gun: Maverick, Cruise and Fallout director Christopher McQuarrie share the bad news about “motion smoothing,” a setting on TVs that adds artificial frames to increase the frame rate of broadcasts to 60 frames per second. That’s great for sports broadcasts, but for movies. Go get ’em Tom!

Bello again: Pierre Coffin, voice of the Minions, finally understands his yellow henchman

Filmmaker Pierre Coffin is the creator and chief practitioner of Minionese, but it's a dialect — like most things Minions — that's taken time to hone. "I have this file on my phone of Indian dishes or weird words." Coffin says. "People come up to me and say, 'You should say that!' and I write it down."
