Did you sit through Avatar — or Alice in Wonderland or any other 3D film released over the twelve months — and feel like you were watching it on a laptop with the brightness turned down? Well, Christopher Nolan feels your pain. While every other filmmaker in Hollywood — even, sadly, Martin Scorsese — embraces 3D imagery and technology, the Inception director is steadfastly holding out against the wave of extra dimensions and over-priced tickets.

“Jackass” star was attacked with a baseball bat early Saturday morning. By Kyle Anderson Bam Margera Photo: Andrew H. Walker/Getty Images Throughout his unusual career, Bam Margera has taken all sorts of abuse to his head, arms, legs and testicles. But up until early Saturday morning (June 12), he had never been beaten with a bat wielded by a 59-year-old woman. Margera, the skateboarder and breakout star of “Jackass” and “Viva La Bam” on MTV, was assaulted early Saturday morning following a noise complaint at The Note, the bar that Margera owns in his hometown of West Chester, Pennsylvania. Elizabeth Ray, who lives on the same block as the bar, attacked Margera with a bat at around 2 a.m. on Saturday. She was arrested and charged with one count of aggravated assault, two counts of simple assault and two counts of reckless endangerment. She posted $10,000 bail shortly after her arrest. Ray professed her innocence to the Philadelphia Daily News , claiming that Margera used racial slurs during their initial argument about the noise. “He called me the n-word,” she said. “I’m innocent, and he’s a jackass, just like his movies.” Margera’s mother April (who audiences got to know well on “Viva La Bam”) suggested that this wasn’t the first time her son had an altercation with Ray. “She hit him over the head with a baseball bat, and she hit him while he was walking to his car,” she said, though she was not actually a witness to the incident. “There was no fight. She’s just crazy and gives him a hard time all the time.” Margera was taken via ambulance to Chester County Hospital and treated for his injuries . “Jackass” co-star Steve-O told TMZ that Margera had been brought into the intensive care unit of the hospital and was released a few hours later. “I think he’s gonna be OK,” Steve-O told TMZ. Upon exiting the hospital, Margera hopped on a plane to meet with the rest of the cast of “Jackass 3-D,” which is scheduled to hit theaters this October.

The first official bit of marketing for The Tourist has arrived and it confirms one thing: Johnny Depp looks a whole lot like Eddie Vedder. The new film — which teams Depp and Angelina Jolie in a Hitchcockian tale of international intrigue and possible mistaken identity — is sure to bring the sparks and the dollars to the multiplex when it opens — which could quite possibly be as early as December. Other than that — well, that’s where you come in, Movleine commenters. After the jump, take a look at the full image and come up with something witty and/or moderately amusing for a Sunday afternoon. The best caption gets the praise and adulation of — well, me. Enjoy!

Conan O’B rien is officially everywhere. The gangly red head drove his “Legally Prohibited from Being Funny on Television” tour bus into Manchester, Tennessee on Friday for an appearance at Bonnaroo, where fans waited eight hours in stifling heat to see him perform. Once on stage, Coco joked that in six months he went “from hosting The Tonight Show to performing at a refugee camp.” Oh Conan — you so crazy! While at the music and comedy festival, O’B rien also took time out to act as hype man for Nas and Damian Marley. And before you make a joke, just know Conan already did: “I’m here because when you think reggae and hip hop, you think Conan O’B rien!” After the jump, video of Conan introducing Nas and Marley and a plea from the TBS host to see some “boobies.” Hey, it is Bonnaroo after all.

Prepare to cover your eyes out of sheer awkwardness. In a marriage so obvious that it probably should have happened sooner, Ricky Gervais will appear with Larry David on the eighth — and New York set — season of Curb Your Enthusiasm . Of course there are no details what he’ll actually do on the show — beyond the aforementioned awkwardness — but supposedly Gervais will show up for a single episode late in the season. Pretty good, etc. [ THR /The Live Feed ]

So, it appears that Jodie Foster got in a little bit of an altercation last month at the parking lot of The Grove (though in fairness, I want to punch people when I’m there, too). According to Radar Online , a 17-year-old boy was photographing the star and her two children when Foster poked him in the chest and grabbed his arm. Foster says the teen was actually an aggressive paparzzo. A teenage paparazzo? Who’d ever believe such a thing! Yes, yes, it’s a weird story, and here’s one more weird detail.

The Karate Kid ? Is that the best they can do? If you turn it into a hit, things will never change. It’d be like asking McDonald’s to serve lobster when the gristle burgers they already sell buy the board members plenty of private jets already, thank you. You probably don’t need to be told, but big-screen LCD TVs can be had for what you’d spend on maybe 12 nights at the movies. Twelve Karate Kid s! Plus some cable…

At Thursday’s AFI tribute to Mike Nichols, famous faces from the director’s 50-year career in film, theater and television filled the red carpet. Before the ceremony, we caught up with George Segal, the actor who shot to prominence with an Oscar nomination in Nichols’ first film Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf . We asked Segal about his then-green director, memories of Woolf with his Oscar-winning co-star Sandy Dennis, and the specifics on his new TVL and show Retired at 35 .

A gangster epic with a geopolitical twist, Gangster’s Paradise: Jerusalema prefaces its portrait of a young man’s rise in the criminal underworld with the assurance that the story was “inspired by real events.” The picture was shot in South Africa and spans almost 15 years between post-apartheid and present day; the country’s struggle for freedom and free enterprise informs much of the action. And yet there is a competing sense that the “real events” that served as inspiration occurred in a series of theaters in which writer/director Ralph Ziman took in the gangster canon, from Scarface to Shaft and all the way to Gomorrah. Al Capone is invoked early and often, hip hop-style, giving the mistaken impression that Ziman might not intend to play the genre’s clichés absolutely, numbingly straight.

Somewhere along the line, low-life “financier” David Bergstein and Co. managed an exclusive negotiating window with Disney for the chance to buy the Miramax library. Not so fast, say the WGA, DGA and SAG, all of whom remain creditors in involuntary bankruptcy claims against several of Bergstein’s other properties. Tack on another 600 films’ worth of residuals they may or may not ever receive, and you can see the problem here. Disney says it’s unaware of any opposition expressed or implied, but, you know. Let’s just nudge this back to the Weinsteins and be done with it already. [ NYT ]
