Release out . Disney isn't booming -- revenues and operating income are up just 2% -- but it's Q3 is in line with Wall Street's expectations. And it doesn't appear to have had any "whoops-sorry-about-that" ad declines that plagued Viacom yesterday. Revenue at Disney's cable networks, including ESPN, were up 12%, but broadcasting revenue was flat. Revenue at the parks was up 5%, so that business has...

Amassing over a million downloads in under seven days, 'The Dark Knight' is by far the most pirated movie of this week. Earlier this year, Cam and DVD-screener versions of the latest in the Batman series already found their way onto the Internet, making this blockbuster the most pirated movie of 2008.

Ed. note: It's time for another installment of "VHS Or Beta?", where Andy Beta looks at the music behind the movies—from preserved-by-Criterion classics to completely inane summer blockbusters. In this installment, he looks at the music that serves as the backdrop to Wall-E 's scorched earth: Not that my eyes are the most discerning sensory organs, but after watching the computer animated sequences...

The basic premise: Earthlings, having scuzzed up the planet to such a degree that it's uninhabitable, have lived for centuries on space-yachts, buzzing about on hover-chairs as their asses grow more and more monumental and robots like...

PIXAR studios prove once again that you really don't need to have a huge amount of dialog to convoy a very entertaining message. The movie is just stunning!

I just saw Disney/Pixar’s Wall-E for the first time tonight. If you haven’t seen it, you owe it to yourself to give it a try. It’s one environmentally-minded movie that might end up being more important than An Inconvenient Truth in the long run.
