...Sundance Selects video-on-demand channel to watch three premieres (The Shock Doctrine, Daddy Longlegs, 7 Days) from the comfort of your living room. If you live in one of eight selected cities outside Utah (from Brooklyn, N.Y., to Nashville to San Francisco), you can try to snag a ticket for a Jan. 28 Sundance screening as festival filmmakers travel with their official selections to theaters across the country...
...completing its march into Guinness World Records, the green movie with the blue people has earned $552.8 million in North America, and later this week should pass Cameron's own 1997 Titanic ($600.8 million) as the all-time domestic champ. Avatar is even closer to the record for worldwide ticket sales: at an estimated $1.836.1 billion, it's just $6 million behind Titanic's $1.842 billion.

We learned that Palin was scarcely vetted by McCain's lawyers before being placed on the Republican ticket. We learned more about her substantive deficiencies, which were even more dramatic than those that had previously been reported: her lack of understanding about why there are two Koreas, her ignorance about the function of the Federal Reserve, her belief that Saddam Hussein was responsible for 9/11. At the lowest...
