Jennifer Saunders told the Mirror recently that those lovable alcoholic fashion comedy queens will be back in an "Absolutely Fabulous" movie and she plans to have every past guest star reprise their roles.

Rejoice.

From the Mirror:

Jennifer Saunders is planning a star-studded cast for the Absolutely Fabulous movie and some very big stars could reprise their roles.

The 56-year-old comedienne is working on a film spin-off of her classic sitcom and she has revealed she wants every guest star that's been in the show - including Kate Moss and Emma Bunton - to return.

She said: "I haven't got the storyline completely sorted out yet, but I want to cast everyone who has ever been in the show in it."

Writing and starring in the original show - which ran for five seasons between 1992 and 2003 and later returned for special episodes - Saunders confirmed that she was working on a new script for the big screen earlier in the year.

The hit sitcom starred Jennifer and Joanna Lumley as boozy fashion industry insiders Edina 'Eddy' Monsoon and Patsy Stone.

The comic confirmed the main cast, also consisting of Julia Sawalha, June Whitfield and Jane Horrocks, would return for the movie.

She told the Daily Telegraph newspaper: "I guess if your name begins with J, you're in. Joanna, Jennifer, Jane, June, Julia - we're all J's."

Other guests who appeared on the show - which aired 39 episodes in total - include supermodel Naomi Campbell, Helena Bonham Carter, Idris Elba, Sir Elton John and Jennifer's long-time comedy partner Dawn French.

Jennifer confirmed the movie earlier this year, saying: "I am writing the film as we speak - it's in the pipeline.

"I am hoping it will be released by the end of next year."

OK, so one can dream, but maybe just putting it out there our city leaders can make it happen—Bill Murray visits Tucson.

It worked for the Toronto International Film Festival.

We have film festivals. We have fraternity parties he can unexpectedly visit. We have a street car he can ride and stops along the way he can spontaneously work as food server or bar keep. We are a Bill Murray kind of town.

From the NYT:

When the Toronto International Film Festival announced on Wednesday that one of its highlights would be Bill Murray Day — a Murray minifestival on Sept. 5, with free screenings of “Stripes,” “Groundhog Day” and “Ghostbusters,” leading to the world premiere that evening of his new film, “St. Vincent” — the question no one could answer was whether the elusive Mr. Murray would participate in the public festivities.

He will. On Wednesday evening, a spokeswoman for the Weinstein Company, which is distributing “St. Vincent,” confirmed that Mr. Murray had agreed to an audience chat and question-and-answer session after the screening of “St. Vincent,” and that he would speak not only about the new film, which is directed by Theodore Melfi, but would also look back on his career.

Tickets for the free screenings of Mr. Murray’s early films will be available at 8 a.m., at the TIFF Bell Lightbox. The screenings begin at 10 a.m., and there is an contest: 50 people who attend all three screenings will be given free tickets to the “St. Vincent” premiere at 9 p.m. at the Princess of Wales Theater. Details of the contest will be available soon on the festival’s website.

If your interests include interesting movies and Arizona beer, life has gotten a little bit better now that Casa Video has added a growler-filling station complete with three Arizona beers to choose from. Bring in your glass, stainless steel or ceramic properly-labeled jug and take home some of the state's finest craft beer with your copy of Hot Rod*.

* You can rent something other than Hot Rod, but if you haven't seen it, it's a lot of fun. They've got a lot of movies that don't star Andy Samberg as well.

An investigation into the cause, manner, and circumstances of the death is currently underway by the Investigations and Coroner Divisions of the Sheriff’s Office, officials said.

A forensic examination is currently scheduled for August 12, 2014 with subsequent toxicology testing to be conducted.

On July 1, Williams visited the 12-step program at a Minnesota facility to recharge after more than 18 straight months of work, according to his publicist.

Mara Buxbaum said Williams was “taking the opportunity to fine-tune and focus on his continued commitment, of which he remains extremely proud.”

Williams has been open about the challenges of maintaining sobriety. He sought treatment in 2006 when he relapsed and returned to drinking after 20 years.

Some of us are remember watching the first episode of Spongebob Squarepants the night it aired after the 1999 Kids' Choice Awards. It's one of the most lucrative properties that Nickelodeon has ever produced. I'll go out on a limb and say Spongebob influenced cartoons like Adventure Time and Regular Show.

I don't know if I'm buying this 3D gimmick, but I realize this movie wasn't made for me. This is one is for the kids that are fortunate enough to mooch off their parent's cable subscription.

Nonetheless, if you're still a fan or a parent that's forced to watch this show, here's the latest trailer for the upcoming full length motion picture starring that sponge that lives in a pineapple under the sea.

If you have fond memories of 90's AM radio here in Tucson (and I'm not sure what this says about me, but I really do), you'll definitely want to set some time aside from actually working to check out Slow Jam King R Dub's documentary AM Mayhem: The Story of Tucson's Power 1490, which is now available to watch for free on YouTube. Put on some Cross Colors shorts and a bootleg Bart Simpson shirt and make an afternoon of it.

As the trailer says, "No human mind could imagine the enormous destructive power of this maddened killing thing," the title subject of the 1959 film "The Giant Gila Monster," which you can see tonight at the Loft as part of their Mondo Mondays series. For only $3, you can see a film that makes the most of zoom lenses and a gila monster someone likely found in their yard. But, hey, it might all be worth it just to hear the music, which includes this jam by the Sneaky Petes (which is apparently just Eddie Cochran of "Summertime Blues" fame), entitled "The Gila Monster Crawl":

More info on the film is available at the Loft's website.
