Yeah, yeah, Avengers-mania is dying down and we’re back to counting the days until San Diego, right? Well, I am. In the meantime, let's read:
Want some story-writing advice from the gang at Pixar? Of course you do.
There’s no doubt that without writer Bill Finger, Batman wouldn’t be Batman. Booksteve’s Library has read and enjoyed Bill, The Boy Wonder: The Secret Co-Creator of Batman by Marc Tyler Nobleman. “Bob Kane was rather a self-serving individual who rarely did anything himself when he could get someone else to do it for him.” One of those someones was the writer Bill Finger.
Longbox Graveyard blogger Paul O’Connor has a companion gig: a regular column at Stash My Comics called The Dollar Box. Start here.

Daniel Craig Won’t Recreate the Old Bond Movies
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: MGM, Action, Classics, Mystery, Sequels, Thrillers, Scripts, Upcoming Releases,
The actor is to play 007 for the third time in the 23rd Bond movie, Skyfall, and while he has looked at old films to give him inspiration, he wants the suave spy's latest outing to be something new.
"I reread the books, he read the books, we watched the movies, we talked about the Roger Moore movies, the Sean Connery movies, the whole thing. There's a sort of tone that's in all those movies that you can't try to recreate. If you do, then it's a pastiche. Neither Sam [Mendes] nor I want to make a pastiche of an older movie. But you have flavors of it."
Daniel also revealed the recent problems with studio MGM - which put filming back - helped Skyfall, as it gave everyone more time to work on a better script: "The MGM thing was a silver lining situation where, for the first time, we had a lot of time to work on the script. We weren't publicly allowed to say we were doing anything, but we were secretly meeting. It wasn't full bore until everything was given the green light, but we were very optimistic it would happen."
Skyfall opens later this year.

Lindsay Lohan has been taken to hospital after a car crash in Los Angeles.
The troubled actress - who is currently shooting her movie return as the late Elizabeth Taylor in Liz & Dick - was driving her black Porsche on the Pacific Coast Highway when it hit a large vehicle. According to TMZ.com, the rear bumper was taken off the car and the passenger window was smashed.
An ambulance was called to the scene, but Lindsay did not appear to use it and made her own way to an unknown hospital in Los Angeles.
Her exact condition is not yet known, and doctors are believed to be carrying out tests.
Lindsay has been trying to get her life back on track after a series of personal problems and legal wrangles in recent years, but recently pulled out of negotiations to star in a biopic about mobster John Gotti, with publicist Steve Honig confirming no agreement could be made.

Snooki Moves Out of the Jersey Shore House
The pregnant star - who is engaged to Jionni LaValle - is living in an adjacent house as she was worried about what people would think of her if she stayed, but show chiefs believe her change of address will provide new themes for the program to explore.
"It's not a prison. I know she's concerned about the perception of her being a pregnant woman in a party house. I think that's a common experience among a group of friends when somebody gets pregnant. This is an opportunity to see how she deals with it and how the rest of the house deals with it. The show has always been about following what's really happening in their lives," Chris Linn, MTV's executive Vice President of programming and head of production, told Entertainment Weekly.
However, he reassured that fans shouldn't worry about Snooki losing her humor now she is readying for a more sensible path in her life.

Leighton Meester Wins Court Battle Against Mother
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Television, Legal Issues,
Leighton Meester has won her court battle against her mother.
Constance Meester had claimed the pair had an oral contract guaranteeing the actress would pay her $10,000 a month in response to papers filed by the Gossip Girl star in July 2011 claiming the $7,500 she sent home each month to help care for her younger brother was misused by her mother for personal reasons, such as cosmetic surgeries.
Although Constance - who countersued for $3 million in damages - dropped her court case in December, Gossip Girl star Leighton pursued the legal action in order to obtain a ruling stating that she does not owe her mother parental support. According to gossip website TMZ, Judge Gregory Alacron ruled yesterday that there was no valid agreement for Leighton to pay Constance any amount of money.

Video footage of the purported next-generation iPhone has surfaced today, courtesy of ETrade Supply, a reseller of parts. The video appears to confirm the new iPhone images we posted a couple of weeks ago, showing the two-tone rear metal casing of the next Apple smartphone, as well as a taller profile with larger display. Other changes that seem to be confirmed include the move of the headphone jack from the top of the device to the bottom, larger speakers, and a much smaller dock port. We also see that the SIM card tray in the new model is a bit smaller that the ones Apple has used in the past.

Kanye West Rants at Fan
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Concerts / Tours, Hip-Hop & Rap,
Kanye West launched an expletive-filled tirade against a fan during his performance in Paris at the weekend.
The "All Of The Lights" hitmaker was furious when an audience member shone a laser pen in his direction at the show in France, causing the star - who was performing as part of he and Jay-Z's Watch The Throne world tour - ordered the man to "chill the f**k out" or be thrown out of the venue.
"You see this guy right here with the green laser? Don't f**k with everybody's show. This is not a f**king game. You're going to get f**ked up and kicked out, I don't want that s**t. So chill the f**k out," he said.
Following his rant, Kanye attempted to get the show back on track: "Are y'all having a good time this evening? I said, are y'all having a good time this evening?"
The gig was shrouded in further controversy because of a Tweet sent by Jay-Z's friend Gwyneth Paltrow.

Arctic Monkeys is ‘Heavy Metal in Disguise’
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Concerts / Tours, Alternative, Rock,
Metallica thinks that Arctic Monkeys is a "heavy metal band disguised as an indie band."
The "Enter Sandman" group have signed the British rockers to appear at their Orion festival in the US, and while some think they are a weird choice to play alongside a metal band, drummer Lars Ulrich can see the band's hidden heavier side: "For me, having the Arctic Monkeys on there is big. I think they're a heavy metal band disguised as an indie band. If you listen to a song like 'Perhaps Vampires Is a Bit Strong But...' there's almost a Rush element in there."
