Nothing is more fascinating than a vast rip-off conspiracy, which is definitely the way to classify the marvelous parallels drawn today between Iron Man 2 and Rocky III . Successful, wealthy men gone complacent? Check. Formidable, blind-siding enemies? Check? Good-vs.-evil preparation montages? Check, right down to the villain’s solitude. And so on. If it weren’t for the key difference that Talia Shire did all her own stunts , someone might have a lawsuit on their hands. [ Moviefone ]

It had been rumored for a little while, and now it looks like Joss Whedon is in negotiations to direct Marvel’s all-star team-up The Avengers . (You may remember Clash of the Titans helmer Louis Letterier was also on that shortlist .) The Buffy the Vampire Slayer just wrapped his last gig, directing an episode of Glee ; this will surely prove invaluable when Iron Man leads his fellow heroes in a rousing, Auto-Tuned group-sing of JoJo’s “Too Little Too Late.” [ Deadline ]

When you think of the Syfy network, you think of sweaty, steroid-fueled men (and women) issuing choreographed moves like the shining wizard , the Mongolian chop and the Bionic elbow for your guilty pleasure, right? Well, that is what the “Imagine Greater” network is hoping for when it premieres WWE Friday Night Smackdowns on Oct. 1. Syfy president Dave Howe rationalized that the partnership is perfect because “WWE is the ultimate in imagination-based sports entertainment.” Standing moonsault ! [ TVbytheNumbers ]

They’re giving us the actual presence of the woman who first strutted a little number called “The Tango Maureen.” It’s a whole new season of love.

Curious as to why Olivia Wilde has been hitting up her Twitter followers for tips on mastering an Iowa accent? Movieline can reveal the reason: it’s because the House actress has been cast in Butter , Jim Field Smith’s satirical comedy that plays out the themes of the 2008 Democratic primary by using an Iowa butter-carving competition as the setting.

David Lynch originally conceived Mulholland Drive as an open-ended TV serial, and according to actress Laura Harring, he’s keen to revisit that world in a sequel. “I’m very sure it’s coming, it’s being born,” she told PopcornBiz after meeting with the director last week. “I cannot really tell you how I know.” Good thing none of the main characters died at the end or anything!
