Entertainment Weekly has named Iron Man's Robert Downey Jr. as their choice for the entertainer of 2008 - and while we may have loved Jon Favreau's metal Marvel hero movie, we're unconvinced that Downey Jr.'s necessarily the right man for the title. What about Heath Ledger, the unintentionally-entertaining Michael Bay (C'mon, "Bayhem" is definitely the word of the year), JJ Abrams, or even - considering Clone Wars and The Force Unleashed - George Lucas?

Adding to the increasingly unusual cast list of the revamped US version of Life On Mars, Lisa Bonet — star of The Cosby Show, Angel Heart and... well, not that much else — has signed on to star as the 2008 girlfriend of Jason O'Mara's coma-time-traveling cop, giving him something to come back to should he choose to leave co-stars Harvey Keitel and Gretchen Mol in the early '70s, according to Entertainment Weekly's Michael Ausiello.

It's the argument that quite literally some people are talking about: Are superhero movies responsible for the death of the high-quality summer blockbuster? You may be scratching your head, wondering when the last high-quality summer blockbuster wasn't a superhero movie. (First person to say Independence Day gets punched.)
