Boy, was I excited when I saw that this was going to be a Butters-centric episode. My happiness only increased when I learned that the City Wok guy was going to be the other star. Two of the best characters on the show, together for one full episode? Be still my heart!
But a half an hour later, I was singing a different tune.
Boy, was "City Sushi" a mess.

I'm not one to complain about the slew of superhero movies that have hit theaters in the past decade. Superheroes are awesome. Superhero movies are, for the most part, awesome. There comes a point, though, when studios are going to really be reaching to make movies about famous superhero characters, and that time might be now. Rumors are circulating the Web today that a "Hawkman" movie is currently in development.

Although being a remarkably small show, even for a smaller network like FX, "Louie" quickly gained a passionate fan following due in no small part to the popularity of its star, stand-up comic Louis C.K. The critically-acclaimed show returns for its second season on June 23rd. Watch the new promo spot.

If you are like millions of other "Jackass" groupies around the world, today is your lucky day. Not only is "Jackass 3.5" now available exclusively on Amazon, but badass Johnny Knoxville himself will be entertaining a live Twitter conversation too.
The creator of the "Jackass" TV series and movie franchise will be answering questions about the latest flick and according to him, "whatever the hell else you wanna talk about."

OK, so I admit that summertime is about as close to Hell as it gets for TV. Most really great shows have long since wrapped their seasons until fall, there's no great sports on the tube unless one has the patience to sit at home and watch an entire baseball game, and it seems every network thinks this is THE time to trot out their millionth reality-TV retread. But take heart. There are a few scattered big awards shows coming up this month, new seasons of some great cable originals, and the start of one hit series' final bow.

We've seen this move before: just as with "Twilight" and "Harry Potter" before it, "The Hunger Games" will be extending its run in theaters by splitting up one of the books. The book series has three installments, but there will be four movies hitting theaters over the next few years.
The move isn't a huge surprise, considering the potential for "The Hunger Games."

Most kids get embarrassed by their dad at some point, but not many of them get dropped from their PR company because of him. So I'm sure we can all feel for Taylor Lautner.
The "Twilight" star has reportedly been dropped by Robin Baum of Slate PR, who represented him for just a few short months. But it wasn't anything that Taylor did that made his rep mad enough to drop a teen heartthrob.
