Saw Sequel Actually Doesn’t Have Absurd Title

Boo! It appeared for a brief moment of happiness that Lionsgate had committed to calling the next Saw sequel Saw 3D: The Traps Come Alive , a deliciously Frampton-evoking title that could potentially rank alongside forthcoming films 5nal Destination and Fast Five for sheer “f**k this franchise, let’s go nuts” naming power. Alas, “the traps come alive” is just the tagline , and the film is simply called Saw 3D . So no takers on Tyler Perry’s Saw VII : The Traps Come Alive 3D , then? [ Coming Soon ]

Kevin Bacon Cast as X-Men: First Class Baddie?

If it weren’t for X-Men: First Class casting news , would there be anything to write about? Kevin Bacon is reportedly in talks to star in Matthew Vaughn’s rapidly filling up X-Men prequel as the main villain. Because in the prequel Magneto (Matthew Fassbender) isn’t all bad and, as a result, someone needs to bite the dust before the credits roll. Or something. If a deal is worked out, it would mean the comic adaptation would have its first major American performer on board and — even better — give a whole new generation of actors the chance to star in Six Degrees of Kevin Bacon.

REVIEW: Despicable Me Delivers With Retro Zest to Spare

We’ve lost something now that elaborate, sophisticated full-length animated movies have become big business in Hollywood: Technical proficiency is up. But disreputability is way, way down. Pixar has set the bar high for superior quality, perceived classiness, and allegedly deep, soulful thematic undercurrents, and other studios have scrambled to compete. Even Dreamworks’ Shrek movies, with their piled-on pop-culture references and ever-so-gentle boogery gross-outs, feel highly mechanized rather than breezy. Nothing in animation feels casual anymore, and worse, so much of it is designed to encourage good behavior and love for our fellow human beings. No anvils falling on heads, no coyotes being blown up by TNT. It’s enough to make you make you want to blast your own duckbill off with a shotgun. At last, Universal offers a raygun of hope with Despicable Me, a picture that manages to feel both original and pleasingly nostalgic without straining for either effect.

NBC Congratulates Conan on Emmy Nod

You can bet that NBC publicists thought long and hard this morning how to handle Conan O’B rien’s Emmy nomination for The Tonight Show . Instead of ignoring their former employee’s success, they waited until media outlets asked them for a response, then offered the following half-hearted pat on the back : “We congratulate Conan and all our nominees on their creative accomplishments and their deserved nominations.” [ THR ]

So You Think You Can Dance Quick Kicks: Is Our Alex Going Home?

Clasp your hands over your mouth and mutter something incoherent about Jesus, because tragedy hit So You Think You Can Dance this week. Alex Wong, the heavily favored contestant and candidate for Dance Emperor, busted his Achilles tendon while rehearsing a high-flying Bollywood routine. It gets worse: Because he couldn’t perform last night, he’s relegated to tonight’s bottom three dancers. If he’s not well enough to dance this evening, the judges have no choice but to throw his injured body into the street. You heard it right, Alex Wong stands a very good chance of elimination tonight, and he didn’t even drop his dance partner like Robert did. We’re in hell! Before our emotions get the best of us, let’s analyze the remaining dancers’ work from last night and trade secrets about who has the nicest bone structure.
