[NelsonG]

"[url="http://www.mtv.com/movies/movie/450220/moviemain.jhtml"]Immortals[/url]" arrived in theaters this weekend and stole the box office's thunder, proving that fall season moviegoers were indeed craving some hard R-rated action. Of course, the comparisons to "300" couldn't have hurt Tarsem Singh's latest picture's box office performance. Over on Splash Page, we measured out [url="http://splashpage.mtv.com/2011/11/11/immortals-versus-300/"]the similarities and differences between "Immortals" and "300"[/url] and decided which one we like better. It was a close call, but there was a winner.

With "The Dark Knight Rises" prologue looking likelier and likelier with each passing day, MTV's Kevin Sullivan sat down and drummed up a list of what he hopes to see in the six-minute theatrical release. Now that the prologue is supposedly sporting a PG-13 rating for "some violence," what would [i]you[/i] like to see?

Despite "Amazing Spider-Man" swinging into theaters in a few months to reclaim the web head's big-screen glory, former Mary Jane actress Kirsten Dunst still thinks fans will fondly remember her era of "Spider-Man" movies alongside Tobey Maguire and director Sam Raimi.

In other, less fortunate "Spider-Man" news, another injury has hit the long troubled "Spider-Man: Turn off the Dark" set. Just as the musical was seemingly getting itself together with improved reviews and a quieter, less negative media presence, "Turn off the Dark" was hit with a double-whammy last week with Julie Taymor's lawsuit and an injury suffered by Matthew James Thomas, who plays Spidey on Wednesday and Saturday matinees.
