Dave’s off to go make himself look like Dean Venture and to see Zack & Miri Make a Porno so the weekend numbers show the MPAA that there are several people out there who would like to see a movie with Porno in the title.

We’ll be checking back to make sure the world doesn’t explode while we’re not on watch, and booking trips to the following HAUNTED HOLLYWOOD LOCATIONS.

Happy Halloween from The Bad & Ugly staffers.

It’s a sad, sad Halloween. Fox has decided not to renew King of the Hill for a fourteenth season.

King of the Hill’s original creators Greg Daniels (who went on to create The Office and the upcoming Amy Pohler sitcom) and Mike Judge (launching a new animated series, The Goode Family, on ABC next year) have fled the creative portion of the show, so we’re not forced to see King of the Hill drastically re-invented with a new team of writers (like the recent years of lackluster Simpsons).

It’s just a show that we here at The Bad & Ugly will mourn, because it was consistent in it’s tone and comedy for an amazing 13 seasons, constantly living in the shadow of The Simpsons, the most prolific and longest running animated series ever. Just that a usually-under watched show managed to hold its own through both The Simpsons and Family Guy on FOX is astounding, and we’re going to miss Hank, Bobby and Peggy…

It looks like Don Draper will be courting Liz Lemon as the newest rumors of 30 Rock stunt casting begin to surface…

Amy Pohler is out, taking care of her baby Archie Arnett, and the election ends on Tuesday, meaning SNL will need to milk something else to stay culturally relevant. So who’s the big coup of a guest-star we’re hearing about?

Fanboys! We’re finally getting Fanboys. After a long fight for it’s release, and it’s ever-changing actual release date, we will get the full version of Fanboys next year.

Yes, we’re a little disappointed that after a year of stop-and-go, the best thing marketing could come up with was a 40-Year-Old Virgin rip-off, but more posters could be coming, and as long as we get a movie out in 2009, we’re in.

For Kristin Bell alone, if nothing else.

For Spider-Man 2, Pulitzer Prize winner Michael Chabon was brought on to draft the screenplay. General consensus seems to be that most of his work was re-written several times before producing the Spider-Man 2 we all know, love and held at a high enough standard to have those standards decimated by Spider-Man 3’s two dance sequences (maybe three, if you count the breakfast-making boogie).

Now, Sony looks to be trying to recreate magic by bringing on another Pulitzer Prize Winner to draft Spider-Man 4, which should see the return of Tobey Maguire as Peter Parker, Kirstin Dunst as Mary Jane and Sam Raimi as reluctant director…

For those of you biting your nails while waiting for a Dark Knight sequel announcement with some actual news, you might want to get some acrylics put on to save your cuticles…
