Horrible thieves with hearts two sizes too small stole a 2-foot bronze statue of Dr. Seuss' Lorax character from the La Jolla home of the author's ninety-year-old widow last weekend.

The much-hyped John Carter didn't exactly live up to box office expectations, earning only $9.8 million on Friday. Although it stands to take in a more respectable $27 million through the weekend, that's still chump change compared to the $250 million the studio threw down to make it.

Looks like that aggressive ad campaign did its job after all: The Lorax earned $70.7 million this weekend, giving it the biggest opening weekend so far this year. In second place, Project X, with a comparatively unimpressive $20.8 million. Should've cast Zac Efron and Taylor Swift, guys.

At the end of a rant against the liberal machinery of Hollywood on tonight's Colbert Report, Stephen Colbert expressed his annoyance with the many product tie-ins being used to promote the new animated film the Lorax. Colbert expressed his feelings in Seussian verse and it was magnificent.

The immediate question everyone asked when hearing Dr. Seuss' classic The Lorax would be a full-length movie was how are they going to pad out a tiny book to make a full-length feature? Turns out by adding some Zac Efron and Taylor Swift.

One living person beloved by children is attempting to sully the work of a dead person beloved by children, and only one can be victorious in the end. Also today: Matthew Fox is going to kill you, Darren Aronofsky thought better of it, and we might officially have our Katniss.

When a kid pisses on a tree in Manhattan, who hears it? The New York Times, of course! And they're out to take the little bastard to task.
