Larry Gordon, the producer behind the production of Watchmen and subject of public scorn, is tired of being treated like the anti-heroes from Alan Moore's graphic novel.  Gordon has faced most, if not all, of the blame for the legal dispute threatening the release of Zack Snyder's Watchmen film, as it has been claimed he failed to secure the rights for the film from Fox when the studio put it in turnaround.  On Wednesday, Gordon filed a lengthy letter to U.S. District Court Judge Gary Feess "blaming Fox and his then-lawyers for the debacle and offering his version of events that led to the court's ruling that Fox owns distribution rights to the Zack Snyder-helmed comic-book adaptation."

Apparently people really like The Dark Knight.  The superhero flick directed by Christopher Nolan won every trophy it was nominated for at Wednesday's People's Choice Awards, confirming that even the most absurdly awful awards show still recognize the greatness in such a film.

The Writers Guild of America announced their nominations today, encouraging me greatly in my picks for Best Adapted Screenplay in my Oscar poll (I picked all 5), but severely shaking my confidence in my picks for Best Original Screenplay (I picked only 2).

Today marks the very first time that Americans who've never heard of bit torrent will hear Glasvegas' debut album. Loved by critics and fans alike, the self-titled album will probably receive the same acclaim over here. (mostly because it already has)
