Gary Ross WON’T DIRECT ‘HUNGER GAMES’ Sequel. Well There’s That.
Yesterday it looked like negotiations between Gary Ross and Lionsgate over his fee for directing the Hunger Games sequel were tense. Now they look dead. Rigor mortis, man! But the wrinkle is that it may never have been about the money. Thickening of plot!

Joseph Gordon-Levitt Leaves ‘DJANGO UNCHAINED’, No! x Infinity.
JGL, light of my life. Steed of my steed. Game of Thrones-esque proclamation of my GoT proclamation. Why do you have to go and do this to me? Surely my vigil is well tended? Surely the hair and fingernails I sacrifice to you are full of the nutrients your ether-soul demands?

‘THE DARK KNIGHT RISES’ Audio Outtakes Have Morgan Freeman Confused As F**k
Okay, these aren’t legitimate outtakes from The Dark Knight Rises, but they’re amusing the balls out of me. Particularly awesome: Morgan Freeman not understanding that Batman and Bruce Wayne are the same people.

‘TO ROME WITH LOVE’ TRAILER: A Woody for Italy. Get It?
The trailer for the next Woody Allen joint (he’s calling them that now) has dropped, and I’m embracing it with arms wide open. If I’m being more specific, I’m trying to embrace Penelope Cruz’ character from the trailer, but I’m not sure I can wrap myself around her…glory. Oh yeah, the rest of the movie looks pretty jazzy, too.

‘AVATAR’ Producer Says Sequel Isn’t Likely To Make 2014 Release Date. 4D NOT YET MASTERED.
The sequels for Avatar was supposed to start dropping on our futile simian brains starting in 2014. They would herald the unfurling of the fourth dimension in cinema, and allow James Cameron to ride a pile of baby corpses all the way to his secret base on Mars. The problem with mastering the 4D is that it takes some time, and it appears that Avatar 2: I See You Ethnographic Stare is going to be a smidge late.

The Dude’s High 5s: Top 5 Movie Character’s Death Scenes
Last week I took a pounding for hating on some classic movies. Except the Hangover … seems most of the super intelligent OL crowd didn’t fall for that movie. This week I want to move on to happier topics, like death. What makes a good death scene? Dying for ones beliefs and convictions? Sure, that’ll do. Giving some epic prose before sloughing off this mortal coil? Sure, that’s a good one too. I think that a great death scene has meaning. This means that we have to care about the characters, no easy feat. So here they are, my top 5 Death Scenes.
Just be warned, there are spoilers ahead for the following movies: Star Wars, LA Confidential, Saving Private Ryan, Blade Runner, and Highlander: End Game.
