And so we bid farewell to another week at Movieline, where, as always, we gathered only the finest pop-cultural phenomena for your daily enjoyment. Sip a cup of our very special blend after the jump, and have a terrific weekend!

· ZOMG New Moon is out! Get excited! Even you, K-Stew!

· Another standout week of interviews brought Wes Anderson, Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Werner Herzog, Gina Gershon, Nick Frost, Hal Holbrook, Eva Amurri, Jasmine Guy and Katerina Graham, Jamie Campbell Bower and… [inhaaaale] Verge designee Kodi Smit-McPhee.

· Criiitiiiic Fiiiiiiiiigggghhhht!!!!!!

· We all know Project Runway has been sorta bad. But worst-season-ever bad? Believe it.

· Oscar made a few new friends, including genius cinematographer Gordon Willis, Bad Movies We Love titan Roger Corman, and 15 documentary shortlisters.

· Diiirrreeeectoooorrr Fiiiiggghhhttt!!!!!!

· RIP Ken Ober. Your legacy lives on.

· We added an extra week of Mad Men Power Rankings just to get the rancid taste of January Jones’s SNL hosting gig out of our mouths.

· Choooollloooo Baaarrrbiiieee Fiiiiigggghhht!!!!!

· The Lightning Thief, Crazy Heart, Remember Me and The Last Song all underwent our Two-Minute Verdict.

· Placing Sandra Bullock in Avatar immediately helped resolve James Cameron’s exhaustive quest for the perfect alien breasts.

· Come on: After a one-two interview punch like Sarah Palin and Jenna Jameson, why shouldn’t Oprah quit while she’s ahead?
