'Dark Knight' Made More Money At Midnight Than 'Meet Dave' Will Make In 400 Years
· This weekend's Gay Man's Moviegoing Dilemma (hmm...Meryl Streep and the hook from Madonna's "Hung Up," or Christian Bale shirtless...hmmmmmmm) could end up benefiting everyone, as the weekend is poised to shatter box office records. The Dark Knight already broke the one for midnight screenings. [Variety, Variety]
· Regency TV—the small TV studio launched a decade ago that brought you Malcolm in the Middle and The Bernie Mac Show—is laying off its five remaining employees and shutting its doors for good. [Variety]
· On a slow news day, something that might happen becomes a headline: Showtime is "close" to ordering Edie Falco's dark comedy about the life of a New York City nurse. [THR]
· Art directors hop aboard the "upstart screenwriter clout" bandwagon! Fight Club and Minority Report art director Chris Gorak will write and direct SIS—nothing to do with sisters, it's short for special investigations section—for Warner Bros. [THR]
· Despite passing on a beckoning A-Rod exclusive, Katie Couric will keep her job as the anchor of the CBS Evening News. [Variety]

Yesterday I walked down a long hotel hallway with Heath's psychotically desperate and corpse-like Joker staring up at me from USA Today in front of every hotel room. Probably the one of the freakier experiences of the week.
Oh, I also watched the HBO preview of Dark Knight - half the footage was Heath, yet no one ever actually mentioned his name. This marketing is wacked, but will be rewarded.

So glad that Katie Holmes got fired and replaced with Maggie Gyllenhaal. Otherwise, Tiny Tom would try to take credit for the success of TDK and use it to promote Scientology somehow.

I've been trying ALL day to buy tix at the Arclight for SATURDAY MORNING, but apparently, the Shirtless-CB/Katie-Holmes-Sucks-Maggie's-Way-Hotter Fanclub have crashed the website. I can't believe those douchebags didn't plan on this craziness. And forget about their "customer service" phone line. Signed, No Love East of LaBrea
