At this very moment, I am sitting in a Starbucks, watching the new Tron Legacy trailer on my laptop. Just like you, probably! Of course, your Starbucks isn't located just six short blocks from where the new Tron Legacy trailer JUST PREMIERED! In an ungodly crowded room! One of the coolest Starbucks over here. So, anyway, that happened.

You can also go here and read about Jonah Hill's Mel Gibson jokes at the Megamind panel. (At the time that it happened, I was in an endless loop of a nightmare line, staring out over the bay, wondering if it was deep enough to drown myself in, or if WE WERE GOING TO NEED A DEEPER BAY.) And then, also:

Danny Elfman talks about some stuff.
•Guillermo Del Toro abandoned The Hobbit to make a fucking movie about the Haunted Mansion ride at Disneyland?!
•Brad Pitt bought the rights to a Zombie movie because all the vampire movies were taken.

More of the news as it BREAKS (SORT OF). It can't all be complaining!
