Is it me, or do there seem to be a fair amount of good movies coming out over the next few months to a year? Maybe I’m just drunk off of all the Harry Potter nonsense, but I’m seeing film for the remainder of 2011 and into 2012 through the rosiest glasses possible.

Take the newest Sherlock Holmes film. I mean, it looks GREAT. I don’t even LIKE Jude Law, and my girl Rachel McAdams isn’t even in this one, but in spite of that stuff, I am totally looking forward to seeing this in theaters. It looks amazing.

Also? I think Robert Downey Jr. makes a damn handsome woman. If that fact in itself isn’t enough to make you want to run out and see this movie, well. I guess all of your priorities are just wrong, friend.

So the lovely Rosie Huntington-Whiteley was recently asked to be the spokesmodel for the new Burberry Body perfume, and I have to say: good choice. I mean, who better to lie around naked in a thin trench coat than one of the hottest tickets in the world right now?

The shoot was directed by Mario Testino.  No word on whether or not Shia LaBeouf is coming out with a hand-clapping, jumping-up-and-down “Ooh ooh I slept with her, too!” statement, but at this point, I’m thinking not: I definitely believe that her boyfriend, the Transporter, could probably mash Shia into grimy little ant residue in, like, a second flat even if he IS Indiana Jones’ son.

Are you guys loving Rosie here? Me, all I can say is “thank you, Transformers 3 for bringing a dream to life.”

Emmy-winning Ted Danson is probably television’s greatest actor—definitely better than Dennis Farina, John Larroquette, even Frasier. Hell, Ted Danson is better than Bronson Pinchot and Michael Chiklis combined.

So Laurence Fishburne is leaving his roost as CSI’s newest lead—did you even know Morpheus starred on CSI?—and Ted Danson is slated to replace him:

“From the moment we all started talking about the role, it was clear he couldn’t be more perfect,” said executive producer Don McGill. “Intelligence, wit, warmth, depth of character and emotion, he brings it all. And now he’ll have to bring latex gloves, too.”

Can you even imagine Ted Danson as a forensic scientist? No? That’s OK. According to Entertainment Weekly, CBS also propositioned Tony Shalhoub, John Lithgow, and Robin Williams. Listen, I am on-top-of-the-world. I haven’t been this excited since James Spader scored a role on The Office last month.

It’s also a promise I’m totally able to make good on, since it’s the last post of the evening. Love those double entendres, if that’s even what it is. It’s getting late – and by “late,” I mean “almost eight o’clock” and I. need. bed. I’ve been up for, oh, about eighteen hours at this point and I feel like I’m about to go into some kind of shock for lack of sleep. The only good thing about insomnia? The things that you find on the internet in the wee, wee hours of the morning that you JUST have to share. Like Neville Longbottom talking about “brewskies” and singing Miley Cyrus songs. That’s something I can really get into at 2 AM when I’m feeling keyed up and sleepless, so thanks Harry Potter friends, for helping a sister out.

So this was a photo that Selena Gomez recently put up on her Twitter. Cute, isn’t it? Little Justin Bieber-loving boobs hanging out and all. Totally appropriate for eighteen years old, right? I mean, it’s not as if she’s Miley-effing-Cyrus and needs to front like she’s all that innocent anymore.  Not that, you know, Miley ever was any good at that or anything.  But hey.  Got to give the girl some credit.  She’s Justin Bieber’s girlfriend, and that’s a hard, hard shadow to try and eclipse.

Do what you gotta do, girl!

Are you guys excited about this new Batman movie? I know I’ve joked about there being so damned many Batmen and all of the movies being remakes of remakes of remakes, but in all honesty, I think they’ve gotten the Batman remake recipe down pat this time. While I’m not a huge fan of Christian Bale, and I still well up whenever I see Heath Ledger‘s portrayal of the Joker, I’m totally on board with this movie. I think it’s going to be pretty good.

But I am questioning the official poster: what’s it supposed to be? I mean, it doesn’t take a rocket scientist to see that it’s a photo of skyscrapers, but what’s going on with them? Are we looking at this shot aerially? If we are, it looks like Batman’s going to be fighting some kind of epic flood from the sewers; Gotham appears to be filling up with water. If we’re looking at it, oh, I don’t know, from another angle, it looks like the buildings are crumbling from the top down. It’s like one of those damned Magic Eye posters that were all sorts of popular back in the later part of last decade.

And if you’re wondering, YES, it took me a few minutes to see the image of a bat between all of those buildings. I never said I was TERRIBLY perceptive, you know.
