There is no better way to make a character a thousand times more likable than to send them to the dark place. Exhibit A: Annie Wilson. Last year she was the worst combination possible of sunny and whiny. This season, she's 100-percent emo, having suddenly gone through enough stuff to make even Shenae Grimes' onetime Degrassi character cringe. (And those Degrassi kids go through a lot.) Somehow I feel so sorry for Annie that she didn't get to have sex with hot hot Liam -- what with taking the blame from jealous Naomi, she ought to have at least gotten to touch his pecs -- that I don't mind at all that she killed a dude in a hit and run on Mulholland that she's yet to be blamed for. Heck, I feel sorry for her for that, too. Circumstances really piled onto our anti-heroine this week, though she...

Wu-Tang Clan member Ghostface Killah filmed a cameo for "Iron Man," playing a Dubai tycoon, but director Jon Favreau decided to leave his scene out of the final cut. To make up for this, did Favreau ask Ghostface to return for the sequel? "I don't know about this new Iron Man sh*t. They didn't call me, so I'm not in it," he said, adding that he's not upset about what took place during the first movie. "I got paid last time, though," he laughed. "I got 30Gs last time." That's right, a minor celebrity gets paid $30,000 to show up for one day to film a scene that doesn't end up in the movie. I wouldn't be upset about that either.

Ever wonder how much space we would need to use to power the entire world with solar energy or offshore wind power? So did the good people at the Land Art Generator, who created two infographics that show the amount of surface area required to power our planet with renewable resources.
According to Land Art Generator, 496,905 square kilometers are needed to power the world with solar energy. That's less than the surface area of Spain. And just a piece of the Sahara Desert could power all of Europe and North Africa.
Wind power is a bit more complicated. 5.85 million square kilometers have to be dedicated to offshore wind to power the world. But while solar might be the wisest choice in terms of area required, wind could act as a strategic back-up for places with minimal sunshine.

So what is our policy on torture? During the Bush years, we now know, we did it. We tortured—extended exertions produced extreme anguish. We laid out meticulous procedures for how to do this. Inflicting physical suffering was part of our official interrogation trade craft. While theoretically we were a nation that opposed torture in any form, this was not true at all. We condoned it, and pursued its development. Even when some parts of the government became uncomfortable with these methods, other parts continued it, further refining the effectiveness—that would be the excruciation—of our techniques. Now, perhaps we’ve always done it, always been a nation that, by any other name, pulled out people’s fingernails. It was just secret. We said we didn’t do it—because, well, no one wanted to know the truth—and then did it anyway. Okay, now it’s been laid bare.

Ok, the title should clue you in, but there are spoilers to follow for Christopher Nolan's Inception. It's mostly first act stuff, and I expect a lot of these details are things you'll be given by official marketing soon enough. But a few of the things might actually be spoilers. Other web writers are already bitching on Twitter about the fact that these details are out in the wild, so here's some advice that should really be obvious if you're reading movie news on the web: if you don't want to know anything about Inception, don't read anything about Inception. I'll agree that part of the movie's charm at this point is the fact that we know so little about it, so consider yourself warned. InContention posted a piece today that got the talk going about Inception's plot, but in truth almost all of this info has been...

"I think this one could be really big," says Joseph, whose company is Red Light District, based in Chatsworth, Calif.

If Michael Jackson's death was caused by drugs—and at this point, that's a virtually nonexistent if—Aeg may not be able to recoup one penny of the $17.5 million life insurance policy it took out on the star in the run-up to his London comeback. According to the documents, released to the Los Angeles Times in an attempt to silence some of the misinformation swirling about the terms, the policy would only be paid out if Jackson's death was proved to be accidental and occurred after the completion of a second physical. You can probably guess where this is going... While he passed his first physical in February, Jackson never got the chance to complete a second. And the accidental death...

It's funny, the straw that broke this camel's back when it came to DirecTV's current ad campaign (which inserts movie stars back into the footage of their iconic roles -- only this time, instead of reciting their characters' famous dialogue, they're exhorting the viewer to buy satellite service). When Sigourney Weaver reprised Ellen Ripley for an ad, I bit my lip. When Kathy Bates turned Misery into a commercial, I furrowed my brow. Still, it wasn't until the latest DirecTV ad -- and perhaps the least inconsequential exhuming, on its face -- that I realized I'd hit my limit.

I can't tell you much about Judd Apatow's new film project, but I do know for sure that his next three films will begin with the Universal Pictures logo. Apatow has just inked a deal with Universal for his next three films as director. Even though Apatow has produced films for other companies, he has never directed a film outside of the Universal City-based studio. Apatow's latest, Funny People, hits theaters this Friday and no one in Hollywood has any idea how popular the film might be. I have talked to quite a few people who have seen the movie, and their opinions are as across the board as they come - from absolutely hated it to best movie of the year. The lengthy running time is bound to turn some people off, while others might be upset with the bait and switch (the film is more of a...

Host Ryan Seacrest just inked a $45 million deal (for three years). Mr. Nasty Simon Cowell's deal is rumored to be around the $144 million mark.

California is a lovely, cash-strapped state where public workers are rewarded with heavily slashed paychecks while our governor spends his own money on Humvees and life-sized replicas of himself. In short, California is the perfect place to host the Michael Jackson memorial because like the entertainer itself, it is famous and it's already spent all of its money. And yet this Jackson service will be a costly affair, indeed. How much will it drain from already-empty state coffers?...

For the first time, the magnum opus that is or will be James Cameron’s “Avatar” have their alien stars revealed in posters slapped up on light posts all over town. The posters show the blue Na’Vi, staring down upon us Earthers, gazing in judgement at our hubris. For those not up on their Avatar, here is the official synopsis. In a distant future, humanity discovers the planet ‘Alpha Centauri B-4′, and for those scientists and astronauts who’ve traversed the gulf between neighboring suns and arrived on its alien soil know it as ‘Pandora’. A world filled with an incredible diversity of beautiful and deadly ammonia-breathing lifeforms. Its also a world that harbors treasures and resources almost beyond price.

If you don't know your Megatron from your Optimus Prime, join the club! Most giant robots look all the same to me, and the first Transformers movie felt like a comedown for Michael Bay after the gleeful insanity of Bad Boys II. Still, I've gotten a kick out ot reading a few of the reviews, like the one penned by our own Todd Gilchrist, as well as the harsh critical takedowns by Roger Ebert and Manohla Dargis. And now I'm wondering how Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen will perform at the box office. Can it possibly recoup its huge production and marketing budget? How big is big?

After those pesky rumors a few months ago that Mary-Louise Parker was leaving Weeds, we decided to go straight to the source to clear things up. Looks like Mlp is in it for the long haul—as long as Weeds has a following. In fact, the mere thought of the show coming to a close is unbearable for the actress. "Sometimes when I think about the show ending I get sad. I just can't imagine what it's going to be like." So when exactly will that be?

With Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen due to hit theaters in the next couple of weeks, people have begun to speculate on just how much Michael Bay and the cast might be getting for the sequel. The biggest shocker, however, is not how much they'll be getting this time around, but how much they got for the first Transformers.
Michael Bay Income for Transformers
When you hear that Shia Labeouf was paid $500,000 for Transformers you'd think that Michael Bay must be somewhere under $10 million for directing. I get it, Labeouf wasn't a star just yet and he got purchased for practically wholesale. What blows me away is Michael Bay. Taking a note from George Lucas, the director declined any upfront payment for Transformers and instead agreed to take a percentage of the film's total revenues.

As we all know, the economy ain't doing so well. And there's good evidence to suggest that people are cutting back on preventive doctor visits--when times get tough, people reduce frivolous spending.
Doctor visits are frivolous?
American medicine is absolutely horrible at preventing disease. Docs have done a phenomenal job prolonging the American life. Life expectancy has risen from 49 to 77 years in the past 100 years. In 1900, the top four killers were pneumonia, tuberculosis, diarrhea, and heart disease. But today, the number one killer in America is bad behavior. Smoking, food addiction, alcohol addiction, and lack of exercise create the top four killers -- heart disease, cancer, stroke, and Copd. I have to give my physician colleagues in the past 100 years a huge pat on the back. We solved the simple, acute problems with antibiotics, vaccines, and rehydration. The dirty little secret is that the life expectancy of a 65 year old...

Will young people in space outperform a Canadian dude with claws? No one will know until J.J. Abrams' Star Trek begins screening to the general public tonight, but early reviews continue to be overwhelmingly positive and online advance ticket sales have been brisk, with Fandango claiming in a press release that the film is responsible for 91% of their daily ticket sales. Still, is it only geeks and cult fans who are excited about Star Trek this weekend?
"Let's be realistic: This is not a sure thing," says Logan Hill at Vulture, pointing to the lack of "bankable stars" and his opinion that "it's a reboot of a franchise that's become little more than a punch line to anyone over the age of 25, and simply isn't a firsthand reference for anyone younger." Also, heavy-duty advance online ticket sales were also reported for the R-rated Watchmen, which "underperformed estimates" by drawing (only) $55 million.

Telecommuting: it's good for the environment, great for your employer's checkbook, and even better for your burning desire to work in pajamas. It's not always easy to convince your boss to let you telecommute, though, which is where SonicWALL's telecommuting calculator comes in handy.
The Microsoft Excel-based calculator figures out the cash-saving potential of telecommuting based on weekly, monthly, and annual timeframes. Just in case your boss is swayed by environmental concerns, the calculator also estimates the CO2 emissions saved and gas use eliminated by staying home to work.
On a larger scale, the American Electronics Association claims that 1.35 billion gallons of gasoline could be saved each year if every U.S. worker with the ability to telecommute did so for 1.6 days each week. Cutting that much gas would also stop 26 billion pounds of CO2 from being released.
Telecommuting can save employers cash in another way, too. A Treehugger survey...

Wayne Toth, speaking from his make-up FX trailer, tells me we will see Michael Myers spend at least seventy-percent of the sequel without the mask. Myers, as played by Tyler Mane, will appear as the disheveled, bearded hulk we've seen in leaked set photos. "That's Michael's new look for a lot of the film. Fans will be shocked. They seem pretty responsive to it. But it's like anything else, as long as you're doing something cool, people get it." The film is set roughly two years after Zombie's remake. Between films I'm told Myers has been living in the wild, exposed to the elements. A pic of Myers that was shown to me found him beneath a ragged hoodie, hair...

There are plenty of reasons to avoid bottled water: contamination and disease issues, limited freshwater supply--and now energy concerns. Researchers Peter Gleick and Heather Cooley at the Pacific Institute in Oakland, CA have completed the first comprehensive, peer-reviewed energy analysis of bottled water, and the results aren't pretty.
Producing just one bottle of water requires between 5.2 and 10.2 million joules of energy per liter--2,000 times the energy needed to produce tap water, which uses only 0.0005 joules per liter. The numbers are even more disturbing on a large scale. Us consumers bought over 33 billion liters of bottled water in 2007, requiring 32-53 million barrels of oil, or one-third of one percent of total Us energy consumption. That's a lot of oil wasted on what we can get for free out of the tap.
Bottled-water lovers who just can't wean themselves off the energy-sucking stuff should at least stick to locally-produced brands, according to Gleick and Cooley.

Short version: It did good, but not that good. Long version: Zack Snyder’s “Watchmen” opened strong with an uber Thursday midnight showing and Friday take, but fizzled a tad over the weekend, finishing up without much competition in first place with an estimated $55.7 million at the box office. Not bad, but it could have been better. Industry folks were talking $70 million, the amount Synder’s last film “300″ opened with two years ago. There’s no getting around it: Yeah, it did good business, but it didn’t do the kind of business people were expecting. And with a budget of $150 million, “Watchmen” is going to need a lot of overseas dough to make it the runaway success that everyone (from the studio to the comic book geeks) are hoping for. At this point, I’m not so sure. No doubt the film’s heavy R rating had a negative effect on ticket sales,...

So here we are ... you knew this post was coming at some point this week.

But we're not here to talk about what we thought of the movie just yet; instead, we want to know how much you think this sucker will take home in its debut weekend.

After all of the idiocy we saw from the Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers (AMPTP) during the writers' strike, I can't believe I'm about to say this, but I'm siding with the producers on this one: the Screen Actors Guild is about to make a massive mistake, and doesn't even seem aware of it. If you've been following the SAG negotiations - and let's be honest, you might not be, since it's not getting the attention the writers' guild negotiations got, you know that not all of the actors in SAG are excited by the idea of striking at a time when the country's economy is in such ill shape.
