Garry Marshall's presence in Hollywood is felt among the many iconic films he directed, but none more so than Pretty Woman, which rocketed Julia Roberts to superstardom. Since the movie's debut in 1990, Marshall and Roberts remained close until the award-winning director's passing Tuesday at 81. In a 2006 interview with People, Marshall talked about discovering Roberts, now 48, for the role of Vivian: "We're a business who loves to discover a star. She was absolutely delightful and charming. It wasn't just good acting - she was magical. Sooner or later, somebody would have discovered her, but I was glad I was the one.

When Jessica Jones hit Netflix earlier this year, audiences were bowled over by this former-superhero-turned-private-eye. The show is female-led, and female-centred, and essentially spent 13 episodes dealing with the issue of consent – so its critical and popular success was a significant triumph for those who have been clamouring for better representation of women in the media. It also introduced Luke Cage – played by Mike Colter – ahead of that character’s own Netflix series, which arrives in the fall.
Once they had binge-watched Jessica Jones and digested its content, fans held their collective breath and waited for the verdict from Netflix and Marvel Studios. The previous collaboration between the two organizations – Daredevil – received a second season order within days of its first season arriving online. Jessica Jones had to wait a little longer, but the second season order finally came, and audiences began to get excited about what a further 13 episodes might deliver.

The X Factor's Alien Uncovered have dismissed suggestions that they're "raunchy".
The group - formerly known as Alien - will battle it out at Judges' Houses with the rest of Cheryl Fernandez-Versini's Groups in an attempt to make it into the live shows.
And they have now revealed that they want to "stand out" in their own way.
"We've been described as raunchy, but to us we're just confident, and also vibrant and fun," Alien Uncovered said.
The six-piece added that they feel the "message" of their band sets them apart from other acts, saying: "We are really strong on female empowerment and diversity, and encouraging people to be themselves. Whatever we do, we bring an Alien touch to it."
Alien Uncovered also named their inspiration as Rihanna, saying: "She is so confident and does what she wants. She is raunchy to an extent, her message is spot...

James May has suggested that he, Jeremy Clarkson and Richard Hammond would have quit Top Gear after a final 3-year deal before Clarkson was axed from the show.
The presenter made the claim in his review of the £208,090 Ferrari 458 Speciale in The Sunday Times.
Explaining why he was planning such an extravagant purchase, May said: "There we were, all three of us, on the brink of a new three-year contract to make Top Gear, after which we would definitely chuck it in with dignity and hand the reins to a new generation, assuming we were still alive.
"There were a few details to resolve about time frames and other mundane stuff, but the groaning draft version of this document was actually sitting on my desk."

Highlights from the Locarno Film Summer Academy Master Class with Award-winning Director Agnès Varda
Stefano Knuchel, Head of the Locarno Film Summer Academy, invited me to sit in on his master class with the 2014 Locarno International Film Festival’s Pardo d’onore Swisscom winner French film director Agnès Varda.
Known as the Grandmother of the French New Wave (a term with which she takes issue, as I cite in my Conversation with Varda).Varda’s film credits include "La Pointe Courte" (1955), "Cleo from 5 to 7" (Cléo de 5 à 7, 1962), "The Creatures" (Les Créatures 1966), "Lions Love (…and Lies)" (1969), "Documenteur" (1981),"Vagabond"(Sans toit ni loi, 1985), "The Gleaners and I" (Les glaneurs et la glaneuse, 2000) and " The Beaches of Agnès" (Les Plages d’Agnès, 2008).
Speaking to the group of international students, Varda shared her passion for cinema, photography, and installation work, with humor and honesty. Here are some highlights from Varda’s talk.
I asked Varda about finding inspiration and her writing process
I don’t search for ideas; I find them. They come to me or I have none. I would not sit at a table and think now I have to find ideas. I wait until something disturbs me enough, like a relationship I heard about, and then it becomes so important I have to write the screenplay.
I never wrote with someone else or directed together. I wouldn’t like that. I never worked with (her late husband, director Jacques) Demy. We would show screenplays to each other when we were finished.
When you are a filmmaker, you are a filmmaker all the time. Your mind is recording impressions, moods. You are fed with that. Inspiration is getting connections with the surprises that you see in life. Suddenly it enters in your world and it remains; you have to let it go and work on it. It’s contradictory.
Question from Student: How did you manage to navigate a male-dominated film world?
First, stop saying it’s a male world. It’s true, but it helps not to repeat it. When I started in film, I did a new language of cinema, not as a woman, but as a filmmaker. It is still a male world, as long women are not making the same salary as men.
Put yourself in a situation where you want to make films; whether you are woman or not a woman, give yourself the tools: maybe you intern, maybe you go to school, or read books. Get the tools.
On Filmmaking
We have to capture in film what we don’t know about.
If you don’t have a point-of-view it’s not worth starting to make a film.
Whatever we do in film is searching. If you meet somebody, you establish yourself, who you want to meet, what kind of relationship it is. Our whole life is made up of back and forth, decisions, options -- and then they don’t fit.
When one is filming we should be fragile; listen to that something in ourselves. The act of filming for me is so vivid, it includes what you had in mind, and includes what is happening around you at that moment -- how you felt, if you have headache, and so on. A film builds itself with what you don’t know.
Life interferes. You have friends. Kids. No kids. Then there is a leak on the wall. Everything interferes. It’s how you build the life with others.
Sometimes I go by myself to do location scouting. When I go by myself, something speaks to me in a place I’ve chosen and I know maybe we should take advantage of that. We have to be working with chance. ‘Chance’ is my assistant director.
About Cleo de 5-7
I had to be able calculate the time of speaking, taking a taxi, and so on -- it was very interesting to write what was happening and try the mechanical thing of time, to let emotion and surprise come in.
About Vagabond
I knew people who were on the road. I knew the kind of people she (Mona, the protagonist) would meet. I would write the dialogue the night before. The people I met gave me their attitude and state of mind.
About "The Beaches of Agnès"
It was supposed to be autobiographical. Like a gesture of a painter, when they do a self-portrait and look at themselves and paint. In "The Beaches of Agnès" I am turning the mirror to the people who surround me; it’s not so much about what I did in my past. It is about how you build the life with others. I am turning the mirror to the people who surround me.
Varda on Varda
In the last ten years, I’ve done installations in museums and galleries. I enjoy that other expression of things. I got out of the flat film screen -- to invade the space, using three- dimensional objects. It helps to express other things. You put yourself at risk. I’ve been experimenting in motion, and surprises.I’m naturally curious.

Where Marvel has been running rings around DC with its cinematic superhero universe, DC in turn is having a bit moment on the small screen. The CW's "Arrow" has had two very strong seasons featuring not only Stephen Amell as Green Arrow, but lots of other major and minor DC characters like Black Canary, Deadshot, Bronze Tiger, and Deathstroke. And this fall, we'll have new DC-inspired shows on NBC (the supernatural saga "Constantine"), Fox (the Batman prequel "Gotham") and again on the CW, with "The Flash," spinning off from "Arrow" and developed by the "Arrow" creative team of Greg Berlanti and Andrew Kreisberg, along with DC executive and longtime "Flash" comic writer Geoff Johns. At press tour, Johns called "The Flash" "probably the most faithful DC Comics adaptation ever, as deep as we're going to go, and as many characters as we're using."

Sir Richard Branson boycotts Dorchester Hotels, Maggie Gallagher touts defeat on marriage, Justice Ginsberg reflects on Windsor
Sir Richard Branson says that all Virgin companies and employees are boycotting hotels owned by the Dorchester Collection, and the Sultan of Brunei until he rescinds Sharia Law, including death by stoning for homosexuality.
The Human Rights Campaign is also calling on Lgbt groups and allies to boycott the hotels as well. ““There are a number of hotels and venues in the Los Angeles area that aren’t owned by foreign leaders and governments that allow for the execution of its Lgbt citizens. We’re encouraging members of the Lgbt community and our allies to consider those options instead of the Beverly Hills Hotel and the Hotel Bel-Air––which are part of the Sultan’s Dorchester Collection. In addition, we’re calling on organizations that have upcoming events scheduled at these hotels to move them to other locations.

I’ve been a fan of Reilly Brown’s artwork since I first came across it in Marvel’s Cable & Deadpool, and have been following it off and on ever since. There are a lot of artists I like out there, but Reilly is consistently a favorite of mine – his characters’ expressions and the way his drawings capture the energy and emotion of whatever’s happening on the page really appeal to me. I also consider him among the pioneers of the digital comics medium. One of his current projects, Power Play, is a digital comic that was the first effective use of the medium that I had ever seen. To pull from my thoughts when I reviewed the Power Play preview in 2011:
“This is the kind of thing I geek out about, because it excites me to see the potential of the medium being explored to enhance the reading experience.

Vivendi Chief Financial Officer Philippe Capron told an earnings analyst conference today: “Clearly a breakup would lead to very great difficulty in apportioning of the debt. We don’t see how to keep quality ratings on both sides. A straight break up is not something we are contemplating for the time being.” In April, the breakup of its telecom and media assets to solve Vivendi’s slumping share price was reported under consideration despite what it might do to the company’s long-term debt rating. “Whatever we do will be driven in large part to make sure value is preserved for bondholders,” Capron said. The French media and telecommunications group announced cost-cutting after posting a 43% drop in second quarter net profit owing to higher taxes and a decline in the group’s core earnings.
