May 28, 2011 @ 12:34 pm PST    The Avengers, Thor, Iron Man, The Incredible Hulk     Sean Comer    
Those who went into "Thor" smartened up by two "Iron Man" movies and "The Incredible Hulk" had an inkling to patiently wait out the credits for what has become a traditional cliffhanger coda. Oh, and this was a biggie. Thor's nefarious brother Loki appeared in the scene to establish that sometime in the very near future, he'll be meddling in the Earth Realm to take control over an omnipotent artifact called the Cosmic Cube.

It's fairly safe to say that "Star Wars" fans have been waiting since, oh, let's say 1978 for a "Star Wars" live-action TV show to come along.

Ever wanted to know what a lazy day looks like for a guy like Leonard Nimoy? Check out this new Bruno Mars music video, and you might get an idea. The alternate video for "The Lazy Song," which Bruno Mars performed on "American Idol" a few weeks back, stars Leonard Nimoy (or at least a very disgruntled, lazy version of Leonard Nimoy) as he goes about his day.
