Don LaFontaine, the most famous movie trailer voice-over announcer ever, (He's the 'In a World guy') has passed away at the age of 68 from complications of a collapsed lung. I'll miss him.

"Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles" co-creator Kevin Eastman has confirmed the rumors that Imagi and Warner Bros. are in talks to develop a new live-action movie based on the characters.

Mark Millar keeps talking about Superman movies. Is this him just trying to keep the buzz going associated with his name or is there something really there? I don't know. He's also talking about Wanted 2. And Wanted 3. *sighs*

Colbert cracks me up. I particularly liked that parting "shot" of Palin with the rifle. Pun intended.
