West Wing canceled
NBC announced on Sunday that West Wing will be canceled at the end of its seventh season. The show won four Emmys for best drama, and will end this spring with the inauguration of the new fictional president. It's too bad they couldn't come up with a more exciting way to end the series. How about instead of electing a new president, the United States gets in a nuclear war with the rest of the world and the planet explodes. That'd be the best finale in the history of television.

Silent Hill Trailer Showcases Small Town
So the Silent Hill trailer was released, and let me tell you, this place looks like one shit-hole of a town. First of all, it snows some kind of soot. Secondly, it's full of feral children. And third, there seems to be a constant threat of mutant attack. So what keeps visitors coming? The girls!
Indiana Jones 4 Is Still Being Written
Will Indiana Jones 4 be made? George Lucas still says so. Possibly in response to recent reports that Harrison Ford wouldn't continue the series if it's not done in the next couple years. Lucas claims we'll see Indy by 2007:
You know, we just write and write and write and write and write. But we are getting closer, and hopefully this year we will have a start date and we will have a script that we all love and hopefully it will come out next year.
Lucas added that Jeff Nathanson, writer of Catch Me If You Can, has joined the likes of Frank Darabont in penning a script. Though fans have waited since 1989 for another chapter in the saga, we must remember that Lucas needs this long to sufficiently ruin another franchise.
Sharon Stone Still Sits Sexy
Despite existing before there were 50 states, Sharon Stone shows she's still got it in these new pictures from Basic Instinct 2. The plot, as described by IMDB, is exactly the same as the first:
Novelist Catherine Tramell (Stone) is once again in trouble with the law, and Scotland Yard appoints psychiatrist Dr. Andrew Glass (Morrissey) to evaluate her. Though, like Detective Nick Curran before him, Glass is entranced by Tramell and lured into a seductive game.
Remember how Sharon Stone showed off her hoo-hah while sitting in the first Basic Instinct? Apparently, so did the makers of Basic Instinct 2, since nearly every photo is of her in a chair. Those that aren't have a flashing arrow pointing at her vagina.
The Science of Sleep In Picture Form
The Science of Sleep, written and directed by Michel Gondry, now has images associated with it. There's still nothing from the actual film, but these behind the scenes shots give some glimpses at possible sets and costumes. By the photos, it appears Gondry is using the innovative new shooting technique of standing around looking homeless.
The film stars Gael Garcia Bernal of Y Tu Mama Tambien, the film best known for creating the most awkward two hours I've ever spent with my family.
She's The Man Trailer
When I first saw the title I thought this was going to be some weird variation of White Chicks, but it's entirely more complicated than that. The tagline for the movie describes the plot as: Duke wants Olivia who likes Sebastian who is really Viola whose brother is dating Monique so she hates Olivia who's with Duke to make Sebastian jealous who is really Viola who's crushing on Duke who thinks she's a guy.
The only thing you need to know is that the above image is actually Amanda Bynes. I think my brain just imploded.
