Worthless information? Definitely, but do you love it? Of course you do!
24 hour sale on all 21 James Bond films on DVD for only $95.99, that's $4.58 per movie. Uh, click here while it is still available. You are going to love these Watchmen poster comparisons comparing the new character posters to the original posters for the graphic novel. The skinny on the movie based on the DC Comics character Green Lantern says the "story follows the traditional Hal Jordan/Green Lantern story lines to a certain degree" and that the "major difference is in the Sinestro character arc." I have no idea what any of that means so you will have to figure it out for yourself. Pixar's The Incredibles are getting four comic book sequels in April 2009. However, it appears a Happy Feet 2 may be on its way in movie form. Then again, George Miller may be busy with Mad Max 4, Babe 3 and Justice League.

Beloved comic Jerry Lewis insists his forgetfulness was to blame for a recent airport incident, which left him red faced over a concealed gun in his luggage.
The ageing funnyman was stopped by airport police in Las Vegas last month after they found an unloaded gun in his boarding bag.
But Lewis, who was cited and fined thousands for the slip-up, insists he had no idea he was travelling with a gun.
In an exclusive interview with U.S. TV show Entertainment Tonight - his first since the incident - the comedian says, "I had a gun in my carrying case, which was given to me by a marvellous engraver... in 07. I put it in a travelling case and I hadn't travelled.
"My road manager came over and said, 'Do you have a gun in your bag?' I said, 'No, are you crazy?' I said, 'I know what I've packed Jeff.' (He said), 'Really, what's that there?'
"Then it all flashed, a whole year flashed on me."
Lewis can now see the funny side of his gun drama: "If I knew it was there, I'd have hid it better."
The gun was confiscated and Lewis admits he has yet to reclaim it; he insists he'll take better care of it in future, and he has learned to make sure all his firearms are locked away safely.
He adds, "You don't do that (travel with a gun). It's just not something that a gun owner fools with. You know better."

Short version: Tropic Thunder is crass, gross and rude - but it’s also funny as hell.
Screen Rant reviews Tropic Thunder
Can i make this any more clear?
Leave. The kids. At Home.
Ok, got it? Let’s move on.
For adults, and for further clarification: Adults that don’t mind rude, crass humor - Tropic Thunder is a Very funny movie.
One of the few problems with Tropic Thunder is that it starts out so damned funny that the rest of the movie has a hard time living up to those opening scenes. The film opens with a montage of clips that introduce the audience to the actors in the film. When I say “actors” I don’t mean Ben Stiller, Jack Black and Robert Downey Jr. - I mean the actors they portray in the film (in matching order to the previous list): Tugg Speedman, Jeff Portnoy and Kirk Lazarus.

Having hit the $300-million mark after only 10 days of release, the Batman adventure can now claim title to $400 million at the box office in only 18 days – the fastest pace ever, Warner Bros. announced Tuesday. Jeff Goldstein, general sales manager for the film company, said the movie, starring Christian Bale and the late Heath Ledger, sliced in half the amount of time it took the previous record to hit $400 million.

'I am ashamed," says Bud, Kevin Costner's character in the brain-dead political satire/tear-jerker "Swing Vote." While we appreci ate your honesty, Kevin, please don't hog all the credit.
For starters, there are the screenwriters who filched the plot of the 1939 movie "The Great Man Votes" without credit and dumbed it down into their nonsensical commentary on the 2000 election - sort of Frank Capra by way of Larry the Cable Guy.
And then there are the endless celebrities playing themselves in dubious cameos - including Arianna Huffington announcing, "Something tells me Franklin and
