Watch Conan O’Brien Experiment with Claymation in New TBS Promo

Just two days after TBS unveiled a whimsical new promo for Conan O’B rien’s new show , the cable network has claymated its Tonight Show acquisition. As this spot makes clear, though, the network still has not finalized a title for the O’B rien late-night experiment. While TBS figures out that part of the puzzle, why don’t you, Coco Nation, decide whether you prefer your leader’s likeness in clay or Pythonesque cartoon ?

Is Scott Pilgrim vs. the World the Same Movie as Twilight?

Sure, both Scott Pilgrim vs. the World and The Twilight Saga are page-to-screen adaptations with ardent fanbases, but the boys in Scott Pilgrim’s corner wouldn’t be caught dead seeing a Twilight movie of their own volition. The irony? Underneath Scott Pilgrim’s geeky exterior and Twilight’s swoony romance novel trappings, they may actually be the same movie.

Miles Fisher’s Destination: Movies, Finally

” Love Miles Fisher,” Bret Easton Ellis drawled to Movieline in May , and we’d have to agree. Finally, others are catching on; the masterful Christian Bale impersonator (and Peggy Olson pot-smoking enabler ) has landed his first high-profile movie lead in Final Destination 5 , says Deadline.

‘Jacki Weaver Superstar’: One Actress’s 48-Year Journey to the Role of a Lifetime (and Maybe an Oscar)

“Do you know the Myers-Briggs Test?” It’s Tuesday morning in Manhattan, and Jacki Weaver awaits an answer. The actress doesn’t have all day. She’s on a 36-hour stopover here promoting her new film Animal Kingdom — Weaver’s first theatrical feature in 13 years, and quite possibly the movie that will earn the stage/screen/television veteran of nearly a half-century an Academy Award nomination for Best Supporting Actress, if not the trophy itself. Which is where the Myers-Briggs Test comes in. I ask her to explain.

REVIEW: Two Out of Three Isn’t Bad For Gorgeous, Globetrotting Eat Pray Love

There are three kinds of women in the world: Those who refuse to read Elizabeth Gilbert’s mega-girly, mega-best-seller 2006 memoir Eat Pray Love; those who will damn well read it if they want to, even on the subway, and don’t care what anyone else thinks; and those who, wanting or needing to see what all the fuss is about before seeing the movie, send their husbands into the bookstore to ask for it, lest they be marked as a woman who might be interested in reading “that” book.

The How Do You Know Trailer Forgoes Question Mark in Favor of Reese Witherspoon, Paul Rudd and Owen Wilson

How do you know it’s almost the end of the summer? Because the trailer for How Do You Know has arrived. The question mark-less James L. Brooks romantic comedy — featuring a murderer’s row cast of Reese Witherspoon, Paul Rudd, Owen Wilson and Jack Nicholson — doesn’t hit theaters until Christmas, but that doesn’t mean its too early to start the hype machine on the first film from the Oscar-winner in six years. Besides, it already looks better than Spanglish .
