The news about US of Tara is very sad. I loved that show.

That's so awesome that Refn won for Drive. That movie looks amazing. Probably my most anticipated.

Also, I'm excited for that R rated version of Sucker Punch as I was one of the few who loved it.

And fuck movie theater assholes.

I will watch that Bridesmaids outtakes once I get on the computer, the movie was great

How dare you forget to add that we will be getting a Yogi Bear 2!!!

fuck X-men.

Of course, x-men has to come out on the day I leave for vacation. I hate waiting to see new movies.

Exactly what I wanted to say. Easily one of the best shows on Showtime...

The Muppets looks brilliant, and glad Legolas will be in the Hobbit.

So very very happy that Uncharted will have a new director with (hopefully) a new direction.

50 points to Matthew Vaughn for ripping on X-Men 3.
