The shapeless dough of the internet, formed into tasty pellets and baked to perfection, just for you.

  • The latest rumored casting for Dr. Manhattan in Watchmen is Billy Crudup. Of course, until there's an official announcement (and maybe not even then!) there's no knowing who will actually be wearing the blue make-up for the part. But at least Crudup would be better than Keanu. Oh, and while we're talking casting rumors, word is that Anthony Michael Hall will play Edward Nygma in Dark Knight. Nygma, of course, eventually becomes the Riddler, but it's possible that transformation won't come to pass until a future film.
  • Cinematical has found what purports to be a report from a spy on the set of Cloverfield - beware of possible spoilers! Also, the trailer for the film has finally made it online officially. Here's our prediction for what Cloverfield really is: a film adaptation of the video game Rampage!
  • While you're watching trailers, you might as well check out one for Leonardo DiCaprio's environmental documentary The 11th Hour on the film's MySpace page. (Via)
  • Phil Donahue has made a documentary about the Iraq War called Body of War, which features a soundtrack of new music by Eddie Vedder, and criticizes Democratic leaders like Hillary Clinton for supporting the war. There's no national release planned yet, but Donahue will apparently be taking the doc to various festivals, so we'll see what happens.
  • The Movie Blog has found a list of the Easter Eggs in Ratatouille. Neat! We can't decide if we should read the whole thing before seeing the movie, or watch the movie and then check to see what we might have missed...
  • Supposedly Danny Boyle won't be doing Porno, the sequel to Trainspotting, anytime soon because he wants the actors to age more first.
  • Brett Ratner is supposedly going to put Paris Hilton in one of his upcoming films - possibly his recently announced biopic of Hugh Hefner. Which would at least be vaguely appropriate...
  • Hey. Psst. Wii-less wonders. We hear that Wendy's still has 250 Wiis to give away. You might want to see if you can get one. We're just saying is all.
