If I were pretending to be him, I might write this line of dialogue:

"Good things happen to good people. It's not true, you know. But it ought to be."

A few weeks from now, it's going to come true for someone who has more than earned it.

If you mention a certain name to most people, you'll probably draw an uncomfortable but brief blank stare, like they are waiting for the punchline of a joke, followed by a glance at the ground and if you look closely, even a squint or two, as they desperately search their memory for clues. Is this someone who was awesome back in the day, but I missed it because I always miss this crap? Is it someone brand new from a generation removed of pop culture that I'm missing because I always miss this crap?

But if you know that name, then you're already hastily throwing together a shrine made from whatever you can grab that's nearby. Pebbles on the side of the road. A doodle on a napkin. An impressive and distinguished mountain of empty pop cans.

Hallowed quotes thatyou can't get from anyone else in the world will inevitably follow:

"Someone ever tries to kill you, you try to kill 'em right back. Wife or no, you are no one's property to be tossed aside. You got the right same as anyone to live and try to kill people."

Against recent films like Mega Python vs. Gateroid, Syfy's epic mini-series Neverland is a shining star. Even in comparison to previous mini-series like Alice (2009) and Tin Man (2007) Neverland has set a new standard for the channel that compels it's views to 'imagine greater'.

There are few things the Hollywood press loves doing more than creating baseless rumors today that they can breathlessly and exclusively report as false and without merit tomorrow. When rumors started flying that Dark Knight Rises might shoot in or near the main Occupy Wall Street protests in New York City, it should have been immediately obvious that this was nothing but a play for attention by starved and ignored media outlets.

Sure enough, a rumor that Entertainment Weekly was more than happy to spread last Tuesday has been shot down this Tuesday, by none other than Entertainment Weekly.

It was nice of them to schedule the false, baseless rumor to be refuted exactly seven days after they themselves spread it to their readers. But maybe next time they could save themselves the trouble of having to investigate and debunk their own poor reporting by not doing such a shoddy job in the first place.

The Dark Knight Rises opens July 20, 2012.

There's a great deal of difference between best movie and best screenplay. Some box office favorites are not great movies, but have directors and actors that fill the theaters. It's easy to argue that some screenplays for the top dollar movies are distinctly sub-standard. The opposite can also be seen where great screenplays have a regular director and the movie only sells moderately with the screenplay talked about by academics rather than the theater going public.

For every Diablo Cody there are hundreds of screen writers trying to emulate her style. The million dollar screenplay deal still exists, but with free movie writing software, everyone and his dog believes they can write a better script than the one you've just seen at the theater. Here's a review of those who have hit the heights so far in 2011.

1. Crazy Stupid Love

Dan Fogelman is usually a screenplay writer you associate with children's movies after Cars, Bolt and Tangled. This movie obviously takes him out of his usual safe habitat as the drama deals with everyday family life where everyone is linked to someone else in the plot.

Sometimes you just feel and know a screenplay is great - this is one of those occasions. It would a really good screen writer to better this for the January awards month. If you're new to writing screenplays, then study the careful plotting in this script.

More (deservedly) bad news for Netflix: despite beating investor expectations on earnings, Netflix lost 800,000 subscribers in the third quarter this year. That was 3.3% of their base that went up in smoke in just the past three months. That's something like 8,800 subscribers calling it quits per day.

To illustrate how ugly this has been, their stock was going for $298 on July 13th. Now it's worth $92/share, down $26 in after hours trading, because of the bad news. And they still expect to lose even more subscribers.

Perhaps it's time to apologize, and roll back the stupid price increase. I would have been willing to pay more because I think Netflix is one of the best deals out there. But not 25% more, with absolutely zero increase in value.

No offense to Reed Hastings who did amazing things until this year, but maybe it's time to get a real CEO running that company now.

The Emmy Awards broadcast last month was typically abysmal. Too much time spent on superfluous nonsense that makes you think the show's producers -- who never come back a second time yet don't seem to have their careers harmed by their crimes against television after ruining three hours of your life that you'll never get back -- are auditioning for Broadway. Or, alternately, 4am paid commercials.

The bit where the host "appears" in all of the big shows of the year, wandering from set to set, awkwardly bumping into characters while the host is just playing the host, wasn't that funny when Billy Crystal did it while hosting the Oscars, and isn't wasn't any better from Jane Lynch.
