You certainly wouldn't know it to look at the box office
receipts from the past three days, but it was a pretty big movie weekend. At
least it was around here. We covered a ton of stories, probably more than we
ever have in a weekend, so here's what you might have missed:Twilight director not returning for the sequel
...but she can always direct a home movie with the new Edward and Bella dolls
Dark Knight theatrical re-release scheduled for January
Slumdog Millionaire keeps winning awards
Legendary pinup Bettie Page hospitalized after heart attack
Fincher-Damon collaboration on the rocks
Is this new Transformers concept art?
"For Your Consideration" ads featuring Tropic Thunder's Kirk Lazarus (Robert Downey, Jr.)
Five new behind-the-scenes videos from Harry Potter
Speaking of video, the new Watchmen monthly journal is here
That's not everything we talked about, but it hits a lot of the highlights. Here's a list of some other recent movie stories from around the web:

I know you didn't talk about it Boyd, but Aronofsky needs to let The Fountain go, already....
Sheesh.
(But I can't wait for The Wrestler).
I just want to point out your improper use of ellispsis, Will.
(And I only had one Pop-Tart today, thank you very much).
...dammit.
