If you've been staying with your grandparents this week or your job involves caring for the elderly, then you've probably already realized that Good Morning America has been hosting a Totally Awesome '80s series where anchor Robin Roberts reenacts E.T. scenes in front of a green screen.

Samuel L. Jackson has contributed indelible performances to the oeuvre of Quentin Tarantino, most notably as the cool Jules Winnfield in Pulp Fiction, which nabbed him a Best Supporting Actor Oscar nod, and as the unhinged L.A. gun-runner Ordell Robbie ("O-R-D-E-L-L R-O-B-B-I-E") in Tarantino's follow-up, Jackie Brown, which garnered him a Golden Globes nomination. Jackson even lent his voice to 2009's Inglourious Basterds and will appear in the upcoming Django Unchained. But which film does the frequent Tarantino player consider the director's best, in which "the action plays out suddenly and completely for every character?"

Add his recently disclosed $130 million annual earnings to the picture, and it's like the target was moved within inches of its respective shooters -- one of whom, perhaps obviously, was Saturday Night Live.

Years before Guillermo del Toro made a name for himself with dark box office hits like Blade II, Pan's Labyrinth and Hellboy, Miramax gave the director a $30 million budget to film the insect horror film Mimic.

Ahead, find an exclusive clip from one of the Blu-ray's new features in which the director discusses how he made Mimic an 'A-Movie.'

Because there's a chance fellow Hobbit Elijah Wood is going to cream him in the boxing ring tonight, let's take a moment to give props to Fantastic Fest guest Dominic Monaghan, who threw down some Vanilla Ice in yesterday's karaoke rap contest. With his A's cap pulled down low (Moneyball shout out!), Monaghan showed the room that this was clearly not his first time spitting lyrics like, "If there was a problem/Yo I'll solve it/Check out the hook while my DJ revolves it." At least it wasn't "You All Everybody!"
