This is quite handy since I didn't actually watch any part of the SuperBowl last night. Yet for some strange reason I really enjoy watching expensive advertisements and commercials. Hooray for the Interwebs.

IMAX wants to make sure they have a plan for life after 'Avatar'.

Worried about the future of IMAX? Don't worry, they've got a plan. More theaters, more partnerships and more access to your living room (thanks in part to the 3D channel coming soon from Sony, Discovery and yes, IMAX).

The most popular word of 2009 is... Twitter.

A group over in Texas called 'The Global Language Monitor' has deduced that 'Twitter' is the most-used word of the year according to linguistic trends and extensive analysis. I'll add more to the pile to keep Twitter popular because I'm sure it needs my help. Twitter, twitter, twitter, twister...  sike!
