Clooney Rockets Sex Toy Sales
George Clooney plays a sex-obsessed character in his latest movie Burn After Reading. Sex toy retailers have noted a huge leap in sales since the film was released earlier this month.
The Coen brothers' comedy also stars Clooney's pal, Brad Pit.
A retailer tells New York gossip column PageSix, "Small mentions of adult products in mainstream media can have an out sized effect on sales."

* Graphics
-Digital Molecular Matter (DMM) technology: Physics engine that simulates how a physical object would react in the real world. Ie: If you force throw an object into glass, it will smash and shatter depending on its weight and type of material - on screen, just like it would in real life
- Euphoria: A Behavioral-simulation engine that permits characters to behave like actual human beings: from moving to acting to, if you can believe it, even thinking! Since it\'s simulated, as opposed to scripted, you\'ll never have the same experiences when you encounter a euphoric situation.
Ratings:
XBox 360/PS3: 7.3
Nintendo Wii: 7.8
The overall consensus is that the game has great potential for future titles, but this version feels rushed and lacks depth in game play for all systems.
If you are a Star Wars fan, you can't go wrong with either version, because the fact of the matter is you will get to explore another great chapter in the world of George Lucas. But don't go into this game thinking that you are getting a title with the same quality and time that Nintendo puts into The Legend of Zelda franchise.

No Mutt Williams
Director George Lucas has ruled out making a new Indiana Jones movie around Shia Labeouf's character in the third sequel, because the action franchise would be nothing without main star Harrison Ford. See, I told you Lucus was a genius.
The Star Wars creator had previously hinted that a fifth adventure could focus more on Indiana Jones' son, Mutt Williams, the role played by Labeouf in this year's Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull. Then Ford could complement him like Sean Connery did for Ford in the Last Crusade.
But Lucas has now backtracked over his comments, insisting Ford "is Indiana Jones". Nobody wants to see troubled star Labeouf as the main character. His likability is slowly declining.
Lucas still insists there are no definite plans for a fifth movie just yet.
He adds, "The franchise really depends on me coming up with a good idea."
"And that series is very research intensive. So we're doing research now to see if we can't come up with another object for him to chase... hopefully we'll come up with something."
We'll all be keeping our fingers crossed. Or at least I will...

Indy 5?
George Lucas has been discussing the possibility of a fifth film in the franchise, stating "If I can come up with another idea that they like, we'll do another." I don't care what anybody else thinks...I like it!
In The Sunday Times, Lucas said that putting together the recently released sequel was a challenge. "Indiana Jones only becomes complicated when you have another two people saying 'I want it this way' and 'I want it that way', whereas when I first did Jones, I just said 'We'll do it this way' - and that was much easier.
"But now", he went on, "I have to accommodate everybody, because they are all big, successful guys too, so it's a little hard on a practical level."
With Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull taking more than $750m worldwide, a fifth film seems highly likely.
Personally, I think people are too hard on Lucas. He has revolutionized movie making and come up with some legendary characters. I have faith that Lucas, Spielberg and Ford can all come together for the 5 installment. Maybe Jones can bump into Willie Scott. Or maybe not.
