WTF: Kanye West Could (Maybe) Be Creative Director On The ‘Jetsons’ Movie? By Russ Fischer/Jan. 5, 2012 11:00 am EST Kanye West says a lot of stuff on Twitter — so much so, sometimes, that his account should be labeled with that old tag that adorned cheap novelties and pinball machines, “for amusement only.” Last night he went on a long tweet-spree, the contents of which are mostly out of our editorial jurisdiction....

Andrew Stanton’s Finding Nemo, besides being just a flat out great movie, is so incredibly lush and beautiful, seeing it in 3D sounds like a perfect way to enhance the experience. Underwater 3D!

‘The Dark Knight Rises’ Gets Rated By Angie Han/April 9, 2012 10:30 am EST Briefly: That IMAX Bane prologue from The Dark Knight Rises that hit back in December earned a PG-13 rating from the MPAA, and now the rest of the movie has followed suit. A forum member of nolanfans (via Collider) was the first to notice The Dark Knight Rises’ rating listed on the Warner Bros. exhibitor website. The rating is no surprise, seeing as both Batman Begins and The Dark Knight were rated PG-13 as well, but if you were hoping that Christopher Nolan’s Batman trilogy would either finish darker or, conversely, open itself up for more kid-friendly audiences, you’ll probably be disappointed....
