A steaming hot pile of our favorite things from around the internets. This Chicago Sun-Times article explains the Christian Bale assault incident in a way that sounds very believable, and also makes us feel okay about liking Bale again.

The best of the internet, squirted out in flavorful neon globules, just for you.

Unless they're super villains, of course (via Ross). Meanwhile, Warren Ellis points out that Hollywood stars used to be capable of more impressive bad behavior. Check out Cinematical's Comic-Con preview.......

Epicurious has created a tasty menu based on ingredients found at Philly's own Reading Terminal Market. (Via Sarah) The first full trailer for The Spirit suggests that the film will be an incredibly surreal chronicle of the main character getting seduced by various hot women and then shot at by Samuel L.

The Movie Blog has the results, and overall, we're pretty pleased with them. The short version: Pan's Labyrinth and The Departed were both pretty big winners.

Tickets for this event will be made available for purchase through an online lottery. In Mallrats, Smith's Silent Bob cautioned us all that, "Adventure, excitement.. a Jedi craves not these things."
