Signs of the apocalypse:
The Jacksploitation continues.
The Harry Potter movie seems actually to be good. (Even people who have read the books like it.) Emma Watson is doing sexy photoshoots and collaborating with Marilyn Manson.
The Emmy Nominations have come out and the fantastic final season of The Shield has been completely snubbed.
The mediocre zombiefication of Jane Austen has spawned a sequel.
What new horrors will the weekend visit upon us? Make guesses here, your open thread.
