TWILIGHT: NEW MOON is expected to open to $100 million this weekend, and I refuse to believe that anyone who pays to see this non-movie will enjoy it as anything other than a shameless melange of pasty skin, chiseled abs and tween-emo longing. It's garbage. And while I'm aware there are people who mistake the torpidity of these films for tragic depth, it's my hope that many of them will soon be exposed to Jane Austen as more than a cheap allusion, at which point they'll realize - with horror-struck remorse - the ignorant error of their youth.

“Lost” will air at 9 p.m. Tuesdays instead of in its traditional Wednesday berth, ABC announced Thursday.
This suggests it will have to contend with Fox’s top-rated megahit “American Idol,” which often airs in both the 8 p.m. and 9 p.m. timeslots on Wednesdays.
I think this is “Lost’s” first time on Tuesday.

A four minute (ish) sequence from AVATAR has been posted over at Marketsaw.
This footage appears to be captured from an XBOX 360 playback of some sort (is this clip available through XBOX Live overseas, maybe? Looks like...) It's filmed off of a TV screen, which is hardly the best presentation for any footage. This said, the quality here isn't altogether bad.

Michael Richards popped up only briefly in this year’s third “Curb Your Enthusiasm” but Larry David said the former "Seinfeld" co-star would be back to deal with the aftermath of his infamous Laugh Factory meltdown.
Now we’re down to the final two episodes of season seven and Richards hasn't been back. Katrina survivor Leon Black, a man of color, figures prominently in tonight’s episode. Does the man who played Cosmo Kramer?
All signs point to yes.

Emmerich has really got to change his game radically. His announcement on MTV today regarding two additional INDEPENDENCE DAY movies confuses me, cuz with 2012, DAY AFTER TOMORROW and INDEPENDENCE DAY - he has 3 films for his Disaster Trilogy. Aliens, Global Warming and Global Microwaving. Of the three, the film with the absolute best visual effects work, is easily 2012. Easily. The work done to destroy and reform the planet we live on is astonishingly horrifying & beautiful all at once.

... or "Community" or "Fringe" or "Vampire Diaries" or "CSI" or "FlashForward" or whatever.
Two highlights for me:

* The sound of Creed Bratton’s tires as they exited the Dunder Mifflin parking lot.
