The success of Wanted (though still second to Wall-E, the film gave Angelina one of her biggest openings ever) has proved that R-Rated comic book movies can still put butts in the seats. All the better for this year’s other Marvel film, the black sheep of the family-friendly front, Punisher: War Zone.

It’s hard not to dig any Punisher poster because the skull graphic is just so damn cool and iconic.

As for the Saw V poster, allow us to step out of the plural and let Dave vent a bit:

I made the mistake of getting a puzzle-piece tattoo on my chest one early morning in 2005. I designed it using vectors in photoshop, then worked with my tattoo artist of choice to determine a size that wouldn’t dwarf my lean frame. Too bad I caught a late night viewing of the first Saw a few days later and realized that I had somehow designed my tattoo to be the Jigsaw piece the killer cuts out of his victims. I can’t wait for the Saw franchise to be over, despite the fact that outwardly, I look like a huge fan.

Personal opinion notwithstanding, the Saw V poster continues the series tradition of having distinctive and disturbing one-sheets that play on some very macabre nightmare imagery.

Under the cut, we’ll direct you to full-sized versions of our banner posters.

The vet of HBO’s the Wire and Gone, Baby Gone’s Oscar nod, Amy Ryan, has signed up to stay on for at least 5 more episodes of NBC’s The Office, and we’re psyched. Not only does it look like Michael Scott might finally have a woman worth courting, but the building drama between the Dunder Mifflin regional manager and his ex Jan (especially after her big-bellied reveal in the finale.

You might remember – nay, you SHOULD remember – that Ryan joined the Scranton branch as a replacement for Paul Lieberstien Toby, which immediately makes our Office spec script useless.

Ryan told Variety: “I don’t know what they’re going to do with the character…but as it was written, there’s certainly a lot of potential. It’s a funny thing to enter a show that you’re a great fan of — and it’s nice to tell lighter stories. I love the dark, grittier side of life, but it’s nice to take a break from that, put a skirt on and brush your hair.”

Yes, Amy, let’s hope they extend you to some sort of mid-season cliffhanger so the Holly character gets the drama she deserves.

The Quantum of Solace teaser trailer was released today. Though we know more than what is revealed in the quick-cut action montage – mainly that Bond has to track down the evil syndicate that blackmailed Vesper into betraying his love at the end of Casino Royale – the basic plot is there: Bond be crazy!

Crazy like a revenge fox!

Maybe it’s the title, which still sucks, or maybe it’s all the promotional material, including the title shot in the preview, that makes it seem like Bond + Big Gun + Rocky Wasteland has something to do with the marketing campaign. Yeah, the gun is pretty sweet, but is that going to be the iconic image for the move?

Yes, yes it is. This worthless-looking piece of land has a plot point to play in a Latin American coup.

But relax, you don’t have to know about that yet! As always, trailer after the cut!

Guillermo Del Toro spoke at the Los Angeles Film Festival yesterday, answering a battery of questions from fanboys and film freaks. That when he let slide this little tidbit that probably has MGM brass shaking in their boots:

“We believe there is a second movie,” del Toro said during a discussion at the Majestic Crest. “If there isn’t, there will not be. If we find it, we will shoot it, but by God, if we do not find it, we will not shoot it. I am anxious to shoot the book, and I’m willing and able to dedicate myself to shooting the [second film].”

Worst case scenario for the execs is Del Toro and Peter Jackson deciding that there isn’t enough material for a second prequel. There is enough material in all of Tolkien’s Middle Earth lore, but Jackson, Del Toro and Fran Walsh can only pull material from the books they have the rights to, which is far from all the story.

If Jackson and Del Toro jump ship while MGM continues to push for the other planned Hobbit movie, buzz will lower to a murmur and sparks will fly.

Sounds fun!

This comes right before the absolutely brilliant troll market sequence, according to our tipster review.

Just a short item here, since an editorial decision was made to cover Lindsay Lohan’s new album. We made that decision after Universal Music Group threatened to ban Dave from YouTube for posting the leaked track “Bossy,” only to send him a press release e-mail with the same version of the song almost immediately after the YouTube thing panned out.

Lindsay’s new CD is going to be called Spirit In The Dark, which is a badass Aretha Franklin tune that we really hope Lindsay doesn’t try to butcher.

Spirit In The Dark will be coming out on November 4th and will feature the single “Playground,” produced by Pharrell Williams. You can expect the single to be here by mid-September.

We were kind of hoping she would call her CD: “84 Minutes To Save The World” as a dual parody of Madonna’s top single and the actual amount of jail time Lohan actually served.

Ahhhhhhhhhhhhh…ok.

TMZ, those heartless bastards who have the budget to send interns out to dig through people’s trash (used tampon found outside celebrity home!), somehow got their hands on a Vern Troyer sex tape.

Yes. Mini-me.

Now, Troyer has shot back, filing a lawsuit claiming that the tape was stolen and TMZ “violated his privacy rights and infringed on his copyright and trademark by running portions of the tape.”

One of those “portions” is below the cut. It’s SFW in a certain sense, but might not be Safe For Life.
