Dude, you went with Danny Glover instead of Elsa Pataky as your profile pic? Shame.

Honestly, I didn't even remember Elsa Pataky until I saw her photo. At least everyone's HEARD of Danny Glover.

Star Trek did way better than I expected, I didn't think the hype was there for this one. $60M is a great start, however it really depends how it holds in the face of Bourne next week.

10 PTA points for Cafe Society in 2 weeks, sucks that it's scheduled to go wide this weekend.

I can do a column this week, should be up by Wednesday night.
