Things We Saw Today: The Lion King Reportedly Casts Its Timon and Pumbaa

https://www.themarysue.com/things-we-saw-today-timon-pumbaa/

Disney has decided to remake pretty much all of their hit animated films as live action movies. While we wonder about some—Guy Ritchie’s Aladdin? Really?—we’ve been pretty jazzed about The Lion King’s prospects, and now the new warthog/meerkat power couple has been cast, according to reports. Who’ll be singing Hakuna Matata?

Uproxx, which wins for the headline “A Screamer and A Stoner are Reportedly Playing Timon and Pumbaa,” cites sources that comedian Billy Eichner has been cast as Timon and Seth Rogen as Pumbaa. I have literally no reaction to this news, so tell me how to feel about it. I’m here for Donald Glover as Simba, James Earl Jones reprising Mufasa and rumors about Beyonce joining the cast.

  • Scott Baio is a garbage person who said garbage things about the death of the Joanie to his Chachi, Erin Moran. Now he’s trying to walk it back but he’s really just pouring forth more toxic drivel. (via Variety)
  • Finally some unabashedly awesome news:

  • You need more Sailor Moon, you say? Who doesn’t? Watch this Russian figure skater send up our favorite Scout—on ice! (via Teen Vogue)
  • In Germany, the crowd at a conference booed, groaned, and hissed at Ivanka Trump as she defended her father’s track record on women. In short, the Mary Sue slack work chat, all day, every day. (via WaPo)
  • In the magical lands of the United Kingdom, in a strange enchanted place called Top Shop, these clear plastic jeans can be yours for $100. Yeah, I don’t know why, either. First, they warmed us up with knee windows, and now this. I just don’t even know. (via BoingBoing)

Did you see anything tasty today?

Watch This Horrifying Video of a Prop Baby Being Inflated

http://nerdist.com/watch-this-horrifying-video-of-a-prop-baby-being-inflated/

Ready for a nightmare? Because boy oh boy, has the Internet found one for you. Our latest bit of unknowable hell is a video of a rubber baby movie prosthetic (try to say that three times fast) being slowly inflated with an air hose. I’m sure that sounds hilarious if you’ve grown up on a lot of Looney Tunes cartoons and think blowing somebody up like a ballon is a fun goof, but it’s actually pretty horrifying to look at:

How to turn a baby into Kim Jong-un!

A post shared by Kevin Yagher (@yagherfx) on Apr 14, 2017 at 12:39pm PDT

While this video was first discovered and blown up (get it?) by the good people of the r/whoahdude subreddit, it was uploaded by special effects designer Kevin Yagher, who’s best known for creating the Freddy Krueger make-up that appeared in Nightmare on Elm Street 2: Freddy’s Revenge, Nightmare On Elm Street 3: Dream Warriors, and Nightmare On Elm Street: The Dream Master. He also designed Chucky for the Child’s Play movies, which is where he met his wife, actress Catherine Hicks. Aw, who says horror movies can’t be romantic?

His Instagram is brand new, but it’s already got lots of cool behind-the-scenes makeup and technical effects from his work on Bones, Windtalkers, Starship Troopers, Tim Burton’s Sleepy Hollow, and this excellent animatronic from Cradle 2 the Grave (spoilers, in case you’ve never seen that movie and don’t want to know how this character looks when he dies):

Funnily enough, Yagher also created the effects for Baby Adam in Honey, I Blew Up the Kid!, the sequel to Honey, I Shrunk the Kids! that ends with a giant toddler terrorizing the streets of Las Vegas. That’s not where his inflating baby prosthetic is from, though. Could you imagine how much seeing that as kids would have traumatized us?

We Need to talk about ‘The Hate U Give’ (T.H.U.G.)

https://blackgirlnerds.com/need-talk-hate-u-give-t-h-u-g/

The Hate U Give is a debut novel by Angie Thomas and is heartbreaking and heartwarming at the same time. It’s also quite hilarious. So, what’s it about? Sixteen-year-old Starr Carter witnesses the death of her childhood friend Khalil when he’s shot by a police officer while also unarmed. She lives in Garden Heights but goes to [...]
