Film Junk Weekend Wrap-Up: Police Kill the Joker, Terminator Lawsuit, Paul Rudd and Jason Segel Cover Rush
Plenty of casting announcements and more sequels and remakes rained down from Hollywood this week, but thanks to the addition of Wintle I think we managed to cover the majority of the good stuff. Mickey Rourke and Scarlett Johansson were finally confirmed for Iron Man 2, while Sylvester Stallone’s The Expendables got a stunner of an addition to its cast, and Sam Raimi also unleashed the first trailer for Drag Me To Hell. But that’s not all… just after the release of Watchmen, Warner Brothers got slapped with a brand new lawsuit, Dakota Fanning officially joined the next Twilight movie, and Virginia state troopers had a fatal real-life run-in with The Joker.

I actually like the Jason Segel and Paul Rudd cover of Rush’s “Limelight”.
