NYCC 08: Gordon Lee case dismissed. "Gaiman told the story of the case, and how the copy of the Alternate Comics #2, a Free Comic Book Day comic that was accidentally given to a child during a Halloween celebration in 2004 in Rome, Georgia.

James Caan walked off the set of David O. Russell’s ‘Nailed.’ "Before we start accusing James Caan of throwing a hissy fit, please keep in mind that David O. Russell is a raging psycopath, notorious for being completely out of his fucking mind. It's like somebody replaced his brain with the brain of a rabid fire-breathing werewolf then decided to send him to film school.
