In geekdom, this is sort of like closing out the Sundance Film Festival, headlining the Coachella main stage, or main-eventing Wrestlemania at Madison Square Garden. it's Hall H at the San Diego Convention Center during San Diego Comic Con....and July 14, it's taken over by Kevin Feige and some "special guests" who may have a thing or three to show and tell about the in-production "Iron Man 3."

June 28, 2012 @ 3:24 pm PST    True Blood     Andy Neuenschwander    
Last week's episode of "True Blood" left us with a cliffhanger concerning Tara's fate. It wasn't much of a cliffhanger, as it's pretty clear what Pam was going to do based on her arc in that episode (namely, recalling what Eric taught her about the responsibilities of being a Maker). The preview clips for Sunday's episode confirm that, and more.

For better or worse, Hollywood will never give up on giving things second chances. "The Amazing Spider-Man" debuts in under a week, hoping to undo a whole lot of damage done by "Spider-Man 3." In and of itself, "The Dark Knight Rises" will be the culmination of a massive, successful reboot effort. So why do some work, while others become pratfalls some studios just won't live down?

Give her this: she's at least remaining accountable. Kelly Osbourne doesn't deny she had an alcohol-fueled breakdown during a recent flight, but claims it was her brother's recent MS diagnosis that pushed her too far. It's not the first time she's had a drink since her 2009 rehab, but holds herself to honesty about it.

According to Us Weekly, all's well that's apparently starting again well for the two Bickering Bickersons of NBC's "The Voice."

"Arrow" is one of the fall's biggest new dramas, and it's appropriately premiering sandwiched between the final-season "Gossip Girl" debut and the third-season bow of "The Vampire Diaries." Between the combined WB/UPN eras and their combination into The CW, "Arrow" marks the third DC adaptation for the network(s), following "Smallville" and the failed "Birds of Prey."

June 28, 2012 @ 1:28 pm PST    Lost, Prometheus     Andy Neuenschwander    
Even though Harold Camping's big Rapture craze is over (for now, anyway), there will always be the question: what would actually happen if there was a Rapture? What would it be like to be left behind? And with the whole Mayan 2012 thing, you can bet it will be on some people's minds.

June 28, 2012 @ 1:24 pm PST    The Dark Knight Rises, The Avengers     Sean Comer    
It's been the talk of the 2012 summer movie season: who will be bigger, "The Dark Knight Rises" or "The Avengers?" At this point, it's too close to call. "The Dark Knight Rises" looks poised to have nearly every bit as enthusiastic and large and audience as Marvel's record-smashing hit.
