AMC Theatres announces 'Harry Potter' movie marathon. Will you go, or watch them all at home?
AMC Theatres announced Tuesday that in the week leading up to the release of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows — Part 2, cinemas in 29 cities nationwide will screen the previous seven Harry Potter movies in sequence. The special event begins Monday, July 11 at 6 p.m. with two movies screening each night through July 13. On July 14, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows — Part 1 will screen at 9 p.m., with Part 2 screening right on its heels at 12:01 a.m. July 15. (Click here for a full list of cities and participating theaters.)
This, of course, presents us Muggles without a time-turner with quite the dilemma indeed. I imagine many Potter fans were already planning to screen the movies back-to-back in the relative comfort and convenience of their homes. But the pull of seeing these movies again on the big screen is a powerful one, even for fans who don’t live close to one of those aforementioned 29 cities. So what will you do? Vote in the poll below, and then defend your choice in the comments! READ FULL STORY »

Who is the coolest 'He-Man' character?
Image Credit: Everett Collection
You may have noticed that PopWatch has been on a nostalgia kick of late, looking back on some of our most beloved 1980s kids TV shows and debating who among their casts is the coolest. (Panthro, Rowlf, Red, Michelangelo, Optimus Prime — you’re all in good company.) For me personally, there is no show from my childhood that lights up the nostalgia regions of my brain more than He-Man and the Masters of the Universe. Just re-watching the opening credits transports me back to my family basement, sitting too close to the TV, soaking in what in hindsight was one of the most homoerotic pieces of children’s programming this side of the World Wrestling Federation. (The 1987 feature film Masters of the Universe starring a perpetually oiled-up Dolph Lundgren pretty much took the animated show’s buried gay subtext and made it text — but we’ll have to save that discussion for another day.)
When I ask myself who is the coolest He-Man character, though, I’m pretty well stumped. READ FULL STORY »

13 talented singers will enter the Voice Box this evening, but only 8 (or 9, if the boogie woogie Thompson sisters somehow make the cut) will be left standing by 11pm eastern time. Which of Adam and Cee Lo’s protegees will survive to battle against Xenia, Dia, Frenchie, and Beverly? We’ll find out soon enough — but until then, feel free to chat here about tonight’s episode. And don’t forget to check back in the wee hours for my full recap of the show.
UPDATE: And the final four semifinalists are… READ FULL STORY »

'Cars 2' hot on the heels of 'Toy Story' for highest merchandising film
Have your children bugged you about the latest Cars 2-branded toy release? If they haven’t, they soon will — after all, the Pixar film is headed to theaters this weekend. Add to that the fact that the brand has built quite a reputation when it comes to film licensing — Cars has raked in $8 billion in toys and other merchandise since the first film’s release in 2006 — and it’s easy to bet that every little tyke’s bedroom will soon be filled with plastic Lightening McQueens and Maters.
But how does Cars 2 compare to other Hollywood projects when it comes to merchandising? READ FULL STORY »

Nick Lachey and Vanessa Minnillo to air their wedding on TLC special NOT called 'Newlyweds'
Image Credit: AP Images
If you were sad that the split of Hugh Hefner and Crystal Harris meant one less televised celebrity wedding, breathe easy, PopWatchers, Nick Lachey and Vanessa Minnillo have come to your rescue (well, at least until Kim Kardashian inevitably airs hers).
TLC confirmed to EW that Lachey and Minnillo will appear in a special for their network, tentatively titled Nick & Vanessa’s Dream Wedding, which will chronicle the couples’ journey down the aisle, featuring footage from their joint wedding shower, Minnillo’s dress shopping, and the actual ceremony itself.
While there is no confirmed date as to when the special will air or when Lachey (who is no stranger to getting hitched on TV) and Minnillo’s blessed event is actually occurring, we’re already counting down. Sure, it’s no Royal Wedding (I have yet to see any Nick and Vanessa commemorative plates), but, hey, it gives us an excuse to listen to the 98 Degrees song “I Do (Cherish You)” and The Soup an excuse to play this clip again and again and again.

Obama starts tweeting. Is it good or bad for the Republic?

You’d think that after the Anthony Weiner scandal, the last thing any politician would want to do was tweet. But on Sunday, Barack Obama joined the twittering class by tapping out a Father’s Day message with his very own Presidential fingers. “Being a father is sometimes my hardest but always my most rewarding job,” he typed. “Happy Father’s Day to all the dads out there.” The message was signed “BO.”
The President’s hands-on approach to Twitter — as opposed to simply having an assistant craft messages under his name — is part of his re-election campaign strategy; he’ll reportedly be doing a lot more of it as the campaign heats up (always signing his personal tweets with his initials). It’s smart politics, a modern-day fireside chat, and a way for Obama to reach out and personally touch base with his 8.6 million Twitter followers. But, of course, he’s hardly the only presidential candidate (official or presumed) tweeting these days. READ FULL STORY »

Producers of the upcoming Jeff Buckley biopic Greetings from Tim Buckley announced Monday that Gossip Girl heartthrob Penn Badgley would play the singer-songwriter with a tragic story. Undoubtedly a controversial choice, Badgley released a statement expressing his seriousness about the role saying, “To play a man who was singularly gifted as an artist, greatly misunderstood and mythologized as a human being… It’s something very special and sacred. I’m going to give all I can to this project.”
But is he actually ready for a role as dramatic as Buckley? Can he even sing? READ FULL STORY »

Lindsay Lohan now filming commercials while under house arrest
Are you eager for nostalgic twentysomethings to buy your product? Are you tired of having to pay high production costs for your ads? Well, you’re in luck: For just one easy payment of $10,000 store credit, Lindsay Lohan will film a commercial for your company within the confines of the most comfortable jail cell ever, her home. (The actress is serving house arrest in connection to a parole violation stemming from a 2007 DUI charge.) Yes, Lohan stood to make a reported $25,000 (she apparently turned down that price and participated in the spot for an undisclosed amount) for this 18-second ad in which she talks about discovering Beezid.com “during some of my time at home.”
This is your chance, Magic Bullet: No way the girl has spent almost a month in the confines of her home without watching your infomercial every night at 3 a.m. Of course, she could also be more of a Rejuvenique girl. READ FULL STORY »

Is the Ryan Reynolds business still booming?

Green Lantern grossed more than $53 million over the weekend, but in a business where the bottom line is often wrapped in easily-manipulated expectations, the DC Comics’ sci-fi superhero launch was considered a misfire that might not earn enough green to warrant a sequel. Critics inflicted the deepest cuts, branding the film with a paltry 41-grade on Metacritic, but even audiences were listless. According to CinemaScore, men, who made up a whopping 64 percent of the audience, liked the film even less than their female counterparts. That’s a problem for a comic-book film with franchise ambitions.
But if Hal Jordan’s future is uncertain, what of Ryan Reynolds’? READ FULL STORY »
