It looks like Kevin Smith might get sacked. (Nyuck, nyuck.) Deadline’s Mike Fleming reports that a large number of potential Red State buyers are upset that the film screening on Sunday night conflicts with the AFC Championship game between the New York Jets and Pittsburgh Steelers. Writes Fleming: “A lot of indie distribution executives hail from New York and New Jersey (as does Smith), and they’ve waited a long time to see the Jets get into a Super Bowl.” Somewhere, Bob and Harvey Weinstein are nodding in agreement.

Matt LeBlanc appeared on Chelsea Lately Thursday night to promote his new Showtime series, Episodes . Confession: I’ve always kinda liked Matt LeBlanc. In fact, I believe that Joey Tribbiani was the best character on Friends . Unfortunately, both Tribbiani and LeBlanc became punchlines after the dismal spin-off series Joey was canceled during its second season. (OK, Leblanc’s work in films such as Ed didn’t help, either.) Now he’s back though after a five-year absence, and dammit, I kind of missed him. Let’s take a look back at some of LeBlanc’s finer past work. (No, seriously.)

I applaud him for playing along and testing his mettle, but there’s no doubt that Ignatiy Vishnevetsky — the new 24-year-old co-host on Roger Ebert Presents At the Movies — crashed and burned while taking The Daily Beast ‘s 10-question movie quiz . He compensated with a slick harangue to Aaron Sorkin midway through question eight, but still, he biffed. Would you have fared better?

If you’re a celebrity who owns a fantastical ranch full of spaceship paraphernalia, chances are you have a passing relationship with reality, anyway. Unfortunately, it turns out George Lucas and reality are barely even acquaintances, as Seth Rogen just revealed that Mr. Lucas allegedly holds a sincere belief in Mayan apocalypse lore . Funnier yet: Steven Spielberg is pretty annoyed about it.
