First Donald Faison and now Lindy Booth, man I can't wait for Kick-Ass 2. It'd also be so cool if they were to get Jim Carrey in on that.

it'd be better if Jim Carrey did Dumb and Dumber 2 instead.

RIP to the office. Easily one of the best shows I've ever watched. But it really hasnt been what it was since Steve left

Agreed, and it would be a great comeback for his dwindling career

called this happening to the office, it needed to die

I actually like the Killing Them Softly poster featured in that link. I think it speaks well to Domink's directing style. Not much concept to the design, but it's simple. Assassination of Jesse James was fucking amazing.

Was it already reported there was going to be a spin off to the Office?

Killing Them Softly poster is dope.

agreed...on all points. i think the poster is neat, somewhat different. It doesn't fall into the category of cliche movie-poster.

I think the Killing Them Softly post would be better if the words "Brad Pitt" was removed. Don't know why it bothers me.

And what. Did not know that As I Lay Dying was experiencing a screen adaptation. Really skeptical if I like what Franco will do with that.

The last season of The Office has all the makings to be good and satisfying. Let's see where it goes.

Jeff Daniels has confirmed Jim Carrey is still doing Dumb and Dumber To.

I'm really curious for how they'll close The Office. A huge reunion with Michael would be amazing. RIP, though; one of my favorite shows of all time, and those Christmas episodes always made me feel happy. Now I can get the entire boxset or something.
