Movieline's Week in Review: Time Waits For Nobody

Friday brings a bittersweet end to the week at Movieline -- bitter for the friends and legends we lost, sweet because, well, it's Friday. With that, have a browse through all the ups and downs in Movieline's Week in Review, and please do drop by Saturday and Sunday for the smooth editorial stylings of Dixon Gaines. Have a great weekend!

· Gene Shalit walked away from Today after 40 years, and we commenced a Veronica Mars-esque petition drive to replace him. Ahem.

· RIP, Dino De Laurentiis, Jill Clayburgh and Rubicon.

· Conan O'Brien actually returned, prompting wish lists, close reads, and endless chatter.

· Many thanks to this week's interviewees Andy Richter, Doug Liman, Jeff Goldblum, Laura Innes and Verge designee Miles Teller.

· Recaps! We got recaps, including 30 Rock, Glee, South Park, Boardwalk Empire, Gossip Girl, The Event, and the notorious Mike & Molly fat-joke tracker.

· The 127 Hours fainting epidemic continued, and one victim told his story.

· How has Bristol Palin lasted this long on Dancing With the Stars, anyway? Erin Andrews helped us understand.

· Tom Hooper acknowledged hating the American poster for The King's Speech, a move that earned him an upward bounce in the Oscar Index.

· Yes, already, Lovely Bones: That Roger Ebert slag looks great on you.

· The great Harrison Ford still abhors Star Wars, but it's probably nothing a visit to the Diane Keaton welcome wagon couldn't fix.
