Oh yeah, it’s National Doughnut Day! That means you get free Krispy Kreme doughnuts today! Now, two warnings: 1) Krispy Kreme regularly hands out a “free sample” when you go in on any given day.

How’dedodat?
Day By Day by Chris Muir is one of my daily stops, and I just happened to scroll over the logo today. Try it. See what happens. It’s weirdly cool.
Friday is Old SNL Sketch day
I always love this Message From Ross Perot, the first time that Dana Carvey portrayed the wacky billionaire. Oddly enough, this sketch actually makes some sense.
Charlie and the Chocolate Factory trailer 2
The previous trailers have emphasized scenes that are almost word-for-word and shot-for-shot reminiscent of the movie “Willy Wonka”… but the newest trailer for Charlie and The Chocolate Factory has a very different vibe.

Star Wars dethroned in second week?
Is it really possible that Adam Sandler’s new film The Longest Yard has seized first place from The Sith already?
New War of the Worlds trailers
We’re one month away from the War Of The Worlds debut, and this new trailer finally gives the briefest of glimpses of the tripods. Also, it’s set to Christopher Field’s “Gothic Power”, the Carmina Burrana-like music that was used for the Fellowship of the Ring trailer.
