What my followers on Facebook, Twitter, and Google+ saw today:
• Or, you know, not. Movie Projector: ‘Three Stooges’ are only rival for ‘Hunger Games’ [This piece also has the first and so far only explanation I’ve heard for *Battleship* opening internationally a month earlier than in North America: “Universal Pictures is rolling out its sci-fi action film “Battleship” in 26 foreign markets this weekend, a month ahead of its May 18 U.S. debut. Universal decided to unveil the film early internationally in part because the movie is aimed at males and the studio wanted to avoid coinciding with the popular European football season.”]
