Source: Daily Intel | 11 Jul 2010 | 9:50 pm Jesse Jackson Believes Cavs Owner Saw LeBron As "Runaway Slave" The day after LeBron James announced his decision to head to Miami, Cleveland Cavaliers owner Dan Gilbert issued a letter to Cleveland fans trashing James and promising to bring the town a title before James gets one. Today, Jesse Jackson criticized Gilbert for viewing James as a “runaway slave” and called the owner’s comments “mean, arrogant and presumptuous.” "He speaks as an owner of LeBron and not the owner of the Cleveland Cavaliers," Jackson said in a press release. "His feelings of betrayal personify a slave master mentality. He sees LeBron as a runaway slave. This is an owner employee relationship — between business partners — and LeBron honored his contract."

Source: Vulture | 11 Jul 2010 | 8:04 pm Your Box Office Explained: The Little Green Men Save Despicable Me; and Was Predators a Robert Rodriguez Bait-and-Switch? THE WEEKEND'S WINNERS: Even though its young target audience likely had little idea what "Despicable" meant, Despicable Me dominated with an estimated $60.1 million opening. That's a stunning opening for an animated movie that is neither a sequel nor a Pixar movie. (And speaking of Pixar, Toy Story 3 climbed to $340.2 million, making it the highest grossing film of 2010 so far, and the highest-grossing Pixar movie ever.) Meanwhile, the other big opener of the weekend, Predators, took third place (after Eclipse) with $25.3 million. THE WEEKEND'S LOSERS: Technically, the concept of "funny" took a beating, considering that Grown Ups passed the $100 million mark . But there were no financial losers: In fact, the weekend's total take was up 43% over the same time period last year. HOW IT ALL WENT DOWN: Despicable Me's giant opening is doubly shocking when you consider where it was just a month ago. Vulture obtained one firm's tracking numbers, and on June 16th, only 57% of people polled had general awareness of the film (when told the title, they recognized it), and only 26% expressed definite interest. These are not encouraging numbers for a big summer movie one month prior to opening, and some box office watchers started writing its obit early. But then Universal paired its trailer up with the behemoth Toy Story 3, and the numbers started rising. Posters ran everywhere, focusing less on the despicable main character (voiced by Steve Carell) and more on his little green minions. It was a wise move; these little guys not only made a far better hook than Carell's hook-nosed Gru, but they also likely created a positive connection in people's minds with the tiny three-eyed green martians in Toy Story 3. Soon, kids recognized them on sight, and the tracking numbers quickly began to climb; by last Friday, Universal was all the way up to 91% general awareness, and 41% definite interest. And somewhere out there, a film exec is now ordering a new animated film that features a little green bug-eyed army: "I don't give a fuck what it's about, just make sure they're green!" Predators also exceeded expectations with its take. Obviously, the franchise has a loyal following, but Fox also made sure to lure in the geeks by preceding all trailers with the words "Robert Rodriguez Presents." Back in 1994, the writer/director (who already has a loyal following of genre-movie lovers) had written an infamous script for a Predator sequel that was eventually leaked online, and over the last decade it has become a lust object for the series's fans. By putting Rodriguez's name so prominently on the marketing materials (he is also a producer), Fox was likely hoping that acolytes of the infamous script would come running. However, if these fans looked closely at the title card that whizzed quickly by at the end of the ads, they would have seen that Rodriguez wasn't credited with the script, Alex Litvak and Michael Finch were. Rodriguez didn't even get a "Story By" nod, and Vulture has learned that that was a result of WGA arbitration; the Writers Guild decided that the script had been so extensively rewritten that Rodriguez didn't warrant any credit at all. Well, perhaps Rodriguez can take some solace in the fact that Cinemascore exit polling showed that audiences only gave Predators a C+. Don't blame him, he didn't write it!

Rush Limbaugh - who vowed to “get out of New York totally” when the state adopted a temporary income-tax surcharge last year - has found a buyer for his Fifth Avenue, 10-room penthouse. The condo - which looks out over Central Park at East 86th Street, and which the radio show host paid just under $5 million for in 1994 - sold for slightly under the $12.95 asking price, according to brokers, with one broker telling the Journal the final amount was about $11.5 million.

Anyway, what will happen between Alcide and Sookie this season?

But don't expect all your questions to be answered any time soon: Manganiello reports that this season's cliff-hanger is "waaaay worse" than last season's, meaning even more cliff-hangery.

News: Entertainment Reviews | 11 Jul 2010 | 10:58 am Marvel Will Definitely Not Be Working With Ed Norton Again Marvel Studios will not be casting Edward Norton as Bruce Banner, the Incredible Hulk, in the upcoming Avengers movie, even though Norton played Banner in the Hulk film and The Avengers is a superhero team-up that includes the character. Why? Not because they can't afford him, but basically because they don't like him! Marvel Studios president Kevin Feige explained: "We have made the decision to not bring Ed Norton back to portray the title role of Bruce Banner in the Avengers. Our decision is definitely not one based on monetary factors, but instead rooted in the need for an actor who embodies the creativity and collaborative spirit of our other talented cast members. The Avengers demands players who thrive working as part of an ensemble, as evidenced by Robert, Chris H, Chris E, Sam, Scarlett, and all of our talented casts. We are looking to announce a name actor who fulfills these requirements, and is passionate about the iconic role in the coming weeks."
Well, then! This could have something to do with the time that Edward Norton reportedly "slipped off to a desert island rather than do publicity for the movie he stars in and nominally wrote" after feuding with Marvel Studios over the editing in The Incredible Hulk. (After Norton had rewritten the Hulk script, he allegedly threatened not to do interviews for the film if he wasn't happy with its final cut, which he wasn't.) Now, along with whoever will play the character, the winner of this new industry face-off is yet to be seen; but it's giving The Avengers added publicity, the very thing Norton tried to steal from The Hulk, so point Marvel.
