Stoked about Sudeikis on Eastbound and Down... but not as much as how stoked I am for Curb Your Enthusiasm tonight.

I hope they don't screw up The Giver adaption. But I am excited something is in the works.

So excited for te fourth Toy Story, especially since the short before Cars 2.

Bummer about the chances of Zombieland 2.

I hope the King Of Kong mockumentary is decent.

Not very excited about the Office news.

Awesome news about James Spader...

One thing needs to be fixedL the link for the Boardwalk Empire promo also links to the Office news bit.

Sapder is only the replacement for Kathy Bates....Thank god.

The Giver YEESSSS!! loved that fucking book

i'd love to see a party down film! really enjoyed that show.

If a Party Down movie happens I will explode from excitement.

David Schwimmer lol

The boardwalk empire link and the office links are the same.

Ugh. No Toy Story 4 please. The third one wrapped it up very well. I hate when they extend franchises beyond trilogies. Just stupid.

Need...Jurassic Park...package...

Bridges has talked about The Giver forever,hope it actually happens
