It looks like the doors of Greendale Community College are closing forever.
Today any hope for intelligent, innovative comedy finding a home at NBC was almost permanently nuked like a microwaved gremlin as the network has announced the long-dreaded yet tragically inevitable cancellation of the cult favorite comedy series Community only a few weeks after the conclusion of its fifth season.
Walk of Shame, the new comedy starring Elizabeth Banks and a tight yellow minidress, hit theaters on May 2, 2014, but Focus Features has also released the film On Demand, including on Amazon’s Video On Demand.
Here below you can watch the trailer along with a red-band (NSFW) trailer for Walk of Shame, as well as a 90-second clip from the film which finds Banks’ character penniless on a city bus, driven by Niecy Nash (TV Land’s The Soul Man). There’s also a few other clips here below to watch, including one called “I Don’t Do that With Penises,” featuring co-star Gillian Jacobs (NBC’s Community).
Walk Of Shame stars Elizabeth Banks, James Marsden, Gillian Jacobs, Sarah Wright Olsen, Oliver Hudson, Kevin Nealon, Ethan Suplee, Bill Burr, Lawrence Gilliard Jr., and Alphonso McAuley.

Never harm another man’s dog.
Revenge For Jolly is a shambolic (though darkly amusing) journey through a day in the life of Harry (Brian Petsos). The hunt is on for a thug by the name of Bachmeier (Ryan Phillippe) who is responsible for the death of the fine mini pinscher whose name appears in the title of the film. The eccentric movie has a lot of ups-and-downs throughout, mixing dry comedy with dark comedy – Revenge For Jolly is a flick that has all the flavor of Smokin’ Aces, but lacks the punchiness. Instead, it’s a cross-breed of Superbad meets Pulp Fiction meets Cheech And Chong punctuated with gratuitous and gory violence.
Community‘s Gillian Jacobs has landed the female lead in Steve Pink‘s Hot Tub Time Machine 2, which stars Rob Corddry, Craig Robinson, Clark Duke, Adam Scott, and her former Community co-star Chevy Chase, who will be reprising his role as the mysterious hot tub repairman who enables the characters to travel through time.
Fans of the NBC comedy Community will be able to see their favorite characters as puppets in an upcoming episode of the show, which is set to air some time this spring.
In the episode, the study group goes on a wild balloon ride and end up crashing in the woods, and spending some time with a friendly mountain man. The experience has everyone feeling a bit awkward, so in order to speak about it freely, they all use puppet versions of themselves to share the tale.
