Another adorbs week winds to a close at Movieline, and so we sing our bittersweet goodbyes until Monday. At least some of us do, anyway; expect more sharp, sophisticated and delightful news and commentary (and Cannes coverage) here throughout the weekend. Enjoy, and have a good one!

Ever since NBC announced the Rockford Files remake, you wanted to snap, “Stop trying to make The Rockford Files happen, NBC. It’s not going to happen.” And now it isn’t: Deadline reports that the Dermot Mulroney-toplined reboot is kaput . Even USA, a better fit for such a quirky procedural, passed on Rockford . Conventional wisdom suggests we live in a sad generation of entertainment awash with remakes, but you’d think at least one retread would’ve been good (or successful) enough to warrant this mimeographed mania. Truth is, the idea of a working remake may be the most contrived of all.

We all love Robert Downey Jr. for the ironic layer of delicious watercress he manages to slip into the sh*t sandwiches of the Iron Man movies, but he didn’t come from nowhere. Downey pere , Robert Sr., is a forgotten wit machine these days, but he’s remembered this weekend on TCM.

It’s the end of an (initially exciting, then terribly frustrating) era. NBC has decided to completely cut the cord on Heroes — that’s right, no reduced episode order, no miniseries, no wrap-up movie, no nothing. It was quick and brutal, and unlike the deaths on the show itself , this one’s going to stick. [ THR ]

Veronica Callahan’s defibrillators have been shut down. NBC’ s first-season drama Mercy , like its extreme counterpart Trauma , has been canceled . I’m unsurprised with both decisions but only disappointed with Mercy . Taylor Schilling was irreverent but sincere in the lead role, Jaime Lee Kirchner won me over as Nurse Sonia, and Michelle Trachtenberg seemed poised for a full mainstream takeover in her first big network role. And to think how excited this cast was when they found out they were picked up for a back nine — at a strip club . [ THR ]

Like all things in life, Saturday Night Live sketches are subjective. Even so, most viewers would agree that the show’s 35th season has gone from eh (Taylor Swift and January Jones , anyone?) to actually good, thanks to some of the strongest comediennes in the business — a shame, really, since the season ends tomorrow. Still, before Alec Baldwin closes down Studio 8H, let’s remember the highlights that Lorne Michaels gave us this year.

Last night, Robert Downey Jr. made his last promotional television appearance for Iron Man 2 ever. Thrilled to be finished hawking, he may have shared a little too much with Craig Ferguson about his last sexual experience and that time he Nair-ed his facial hair. Click through for that segment, as well as the other highlights you missed while plotting a Law & Order fluffalanche.

We went Over There in the aptly named opener to the two-part Fringe finale last night — over there, of course, being the other side, where an ID is a “show-me,” Martin Luther King Jr. is on the 20, and Agent Olivia Dunham is about 100 times cooler than she is over here. In addition to those revelations, however, Walter Bishop and Co. offered up a ton of fodder for the show’s scientific canon. But did these revelations jibe with what we already know?

Hubbub aside, there are other slabs of fresh kill available on VOD besides The Human Centipede , which reminded me mostly of the Franken-toys crawling through Sid’s bedroom in Toy Story , a scene that was far more chilling. And you didn’t pity the actors. (Also, come on: The “centipede” idea wouldn’t work at all. After one G.I. tract is done with foodstuff, there’s nothing left for the next two! They’d starve! Come on!) No, better to search the cloud for more life-affirming grist — because, well, you’re alive, and your mouth isn’t sewn to my anus.

Lost may be going off the air in a little more than a week, but this summer, you can own a piece of the action. Hollywood memorabilia auctioneer Profiles in History will be auctioning off many of the most major props, costumes and set pieces from the show, and after taking a look at what’s on the block, we’ve found 5 props you may want to bid on — and 5 that aren’t worth the dough.
