The summer blockbluster season is starting awfully early this year as Watchmen hits theaters. By most accounts, it's a faithful adaptation of Alan Moore's seminal graphic novel. The question is, "Does it have an audience beyond the faithful?" I, for one, am excited to see it. The Fanning family has officially replaced the infamous Culkens as little Elle Fanning stars in Phoebe in Wonderland. Am I alone in thinking pushing your kid into Hollywood constitutes child abuse? Everlasting Moments is the exact opposite of Watchmen: a Swedish film taking place at the turn of the century. Talk about counter-programming! Shuttle is just the kind of low-budget indie thriller that deserves a larger audience than it will ultimately get. Give it a shot.

Who watched the new "Late Night with Jimmy Fallon" last night? How did you like it? It's on our Tivo and we will watch it later but let us know.. We'll update you with the Nielsen numbers later this week - should be interesting.

Last Fall I received a copy of the Complete 10th Anniversary Edition of the ABC series "Sports Night" but being a busy fellow I didn't have a chance to put it in the DVD player until January but I've found myself watching at least an episode per night since then, plus all the bonus bits and gag reels.

A Word or, I dunno, like 80: It seems to be coming together a bit on Lost - another good episode last night. If you want the producers' perspective, they're on tonight after Grey's. Delay goes to his base tonight on Colbert. Tonight the networks will have the typical struggle between comedy and young-doctors-in-love, what will you succumb to? Tonight - Thursday - May 17, 2007 Angels @ Mariners (Fox Sports, 7:00 p.m.) Bob...

Is this some sort of twisted, inside-Hollywood game? Celebs getting drunk somewhere together then and they all go out and drive around sloshed until one of them gets busted - and then the game is over for the night?

Gretchen Mol plays Bettie Page in the upcoming movie, The Notorious Bettie Page that opens April 14. Join Mol and director Mary Harron at Reel Talk with Stephen Farber at the Wadsworth Theatre in Brentwood.

KABC has wasted no time in getting the awkward questions, stammered remarks, and best wishes to everyone coming down the red carpet. So far we've already heard them refer to Ben Stiller as "studly", and Naomi Watt's very current gown as "vintage". It's almost too painful to watch, but you know we'll keep doing it.

Yep, that's Felicity Huffman, and yes, she wins Best Actress at the Independent Spirit Awards. Think she's got a shot at the Oscar?

We can't wait until Sarah Silverman gets to host the Oscars. Would she make jokes about the freshness of her vagina, like she does in the opening monologue of the Independent Spirit Awards today? She kicks things off saying George Clooney "has proved himself both artsy and fartsy," and "Felicity Huffman, I am such a huge fan of his."

On any other night this week, Felicity Huffman would be showcasing why she won a Golden Globe in Transamerica at the Vista Theatre but, last night, Jenny Lewis took over the stage performing songs from her newly released solo debut, Rabbit Fur Coat.

The SAG awards start with a bunch of actors telling their stories to the camera.

Horseraces! Handicaps! No sooner had we posted about the not-quiet-announced Oscar host than the SAG Award nominees were announced. The biggest surprise must be the nomination of Hustle & Flow in the "best performance by a cast" category (SAG's version of "best picture"), while none of the cast members were nominated individually. Doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure out that Terrence Howard was robbed.

The Golden Globes are over, Industry-types are off to Park City for Sundance and the Oscar nomination/winner odds-making begins in earnest. Now is the time for out-of-town journalists to do their legwork about town in order to find new ways to describe the luxuriousness of Wolfgang Puck's Oscar Ball menu or give readers a verbal blueprint of this year's location for the Vanity Fair party.
