The House has passed similar legislation. Before it can become law, minor differences between the two versions have to be worked out when Congress returns to Washington after the Nov. 2 election.

“Come on HIMYM, you’re better than that.” Screw that! DALE COOPER’S ON HIMYM!!!
I have nothing against MacLachlan appearing on the show, but shame on HIMYM for writing in another ex-husband of a woman Ted is dating.

Pushing Daisies mastermind Bryan Fuller is toiling away on a modern-day reboot of the creepshow classicThe Munsters!
So far, NBC, with whom Fuller has an overall deal, has only ordered a pilot. But since the potential series is being described to me as “Modern Family meets True Blood,” I have a good feeling about it.
Not only that, but rumor has it no less than Guillermo del Toro (Hellboy)...

WatchTrailer: ‘I Am Number Four’ - February 18, 2011.
Directed by DJ Caruso starring Alex Pettyfer, Teresa Palmer, Dianna Agron, Kevin Durand and Timothy Olyphant.
Just a teaser, but a cool one at that. It goes for the typical trailer thing of flashy cut together clips, instead of a slick minimalist approach, but I’m ok with that. The movie is also far more genre than the trailer is letting...
