– Fake headline: No matter that maybe 3 or 4 out of a hundred moviegoers had even heard of Oldboy prior to its much-publicized shaky Virginia Tech ties - Wal-mart and Blockbuster each order one copy of the film for every store, just to announce that they’ve pulled it off their shelves. Real headline: NBC Universal owns the Oldboy remake rights, though will they sit on them now?

– Kirsten Dunst joins Simon Pegg (Shaun of the Dead/Hot Fuzz) for How to Lose Friends and Alienate People.
