Larry King Officially Quits

It’s finally happened. Larry King — a suspendered person famous for marrying ladies and interviewing people in a gruff, oft-confused haze — has announced that he will be ending his CNN show Larry King Live this fall. “With this chapter closing I’m looking forward to the future and what my next chapter will bring,” he said in a statement , “but for now it’s time to hang up my nightly suspenders.” Yes, and those suspenders? Try all you want, but they don’t fit you, Piers Morgan . [ CNN ]

On DVD: Woody Allen Meets Halo in Red vs. Blue: The Blood Gulch Chronicles

You can’t toss a rock up in the air over a city street without braining someone who has definite but vague ideas about how new electronic media is going to “change everything.” And of course they’re mostly right, while at the same time you wish you could do that all day — toss that rock, brain those people. Movies are still movies, pop songs are still pop, crummy TV shows are still crummy, etc. (The big change is now we expect to get it all for free.) Yet some things have arisen spontaneously, like mushrooms, from the keyboard-console-screen mode of cultural intercourse we’re so enjoying. The epic new, remastered, five-season box set collecting Red vs. Blue: The Blood Gulch Chronicles is a perfect example.

Real Housewives of New Jersey Reality Check: Where Did All the Fun Go?

There was a time when the Real Housewives of New Jersey was fun to watch — and that time has long since passed. Viewers are now stuck with a cast of four (you’re better off, Dina) quibbling housewives playing tug of war with the cameras as they fight to show off every gory detail of their breast augmentations, gratuitous shopping trips and their descents into stage-motherhood. Last night’s installment was no different. Danielle recovered from her latest surgery and discovered new battle tactics courtesy of Paris Hilton. Meanwhile, Jacqueline and Teresa splurged on a shopping spree that caused PETA members worldwide to weep. And somewhere, Caroline Manzo cried about the loneliness of fame, or something. Instead of reconsuming the fattening filler, join Movieline after the jump to get the heartiest moments — both real and fake — from last night’s episode.

The Batman 3 Viral Marketing is Starting So Early

In the long run-up to The Dark Knight , Warner Bros. marketing went all out to build buzz ahead of time in very unconventional ways (like teaser websites, Comic-Con flash mobs, and the premature death of star Heath Ledger). Still, for the only recently announced sequel , they may have topped themselves.

Can Anyone Explain What the Hell Despicable Me Is?

So there’s this movie called Despicable Me coming out. There are some commercials making the rounds on TV, and a few posters have popped up here and there. It appears to be animated and in 3D, and Steve Carell’s involvement is noted. I think Universal is the studio, but I can’t be sure. In fact, beyond the aforementioned citations, I can’t be sure of anything with this one. Am I the only one completely in the dark about this movie? If so, why? And if not, can you please explain it, starting with the title?
