Carl Sagan, the title of Night Moves’ latest EP is appropriate given the band’s cosmic, ’70s-influenced, indie rock sound. Released through Domino Records in the first week of January of 2017, the digital-only EP contains the lead single from the band’s sophomore album, Pennied Days, along with another four songs recording during the Pennied Days sessions.

Contrasting with the songs on Pennied Days, the tracks on Carl Sagan tend to run long, with two of the five tracks breaking six minutes and a third running just under. With Night Moves’ already spaced out sound, the extra time these tracks take to develop makes each one feel like cosmic a odyssey.

A 2000s YA classic is getting new TV adaptation at Disney+

The story was originally a book that was adapted into a movie in 2003.

Seems like we might need to get our shovels back out. Variety is reporting that Disney+ has picked up the pilot for a new adaptation of Holes, the novel by Louis Sachar that was already turned into a 2003 film starring Shia Labeouf.

According to the official logline: “In this reimagining of the beloved 1998 book from Louis Sachar, a teenage girl is sent to a detention camp where the ruthless Warden forces the campers to dig holes for a mysterious purpose.”

What do the SAG and DGA nominations mean for the Oscars?

'Wicked' led the SAG nominations, but was snubbed by the DGAs

Two of the most high-profile awards bodies in Oscars season unveiled their nominees today, giving us a firmer sense of which movies are likely to become Oscar frontrunners. The Screen Actors Guild (SAG) Awards are an actor-oriented ceremony, but their membership has major overlap with the Academy. The Directors Guild Awards (DGAs), meanwhile, give us a sense of which directors might wind up nominated for Best Director.

The SAG nominations turned out to be particularly good for Wicked, which received nominations for three of its actors and its ensemble and its stunt performers for a total of five nominations. A Complete Unknown was just behind it with four, including an ensemble nod and three acting nods, and Anora, Conclave, and Emilia Perez rounded out the best ensemble lineup.
