Elizabeth Mitchell, who plays Juliet on "Lost," chats with TV Guide.

TVGuide.com: Is there a sort of "letdown" for a Lost actor after you get "your" episode for the season?
Mitchell: [Laughs] I'm so flipping hard on myself that for me it's a relief! Other people's episodes are a heck of a lot easier to watch. This is like pulling nails. I suppose there is [a letdown], but at the same time I'm a story dork. I'm a book reader, a comic-book reader, so I'm always interested in what happens next. I actually just got the script for [Episode] 409, and I was sitting here reading it just completely entranced, and it had very little to do with me. That's the kind of show it is. I was already a fan, so to be on the "inside" of it is kind of crazy.

"Bone" creator Jeff Smith talks about selling the movie rights to his creation.

There’s a lot of speculation about what the film will look like, but I honestly don’t know yet. I’m partial to 2D, but if something else looks freaking mind-blowing, I’m open to it.

Not much more to say at this point. We’re at the very beginning of the process, and anything can happen.

I have to admit, though, the idea of the Looney Tunes WB shield zooming out at the beginning of a BONE movie would be pretty cool. Fingers crossed!

Anthem magazine has a Q&A with cartoonist Jaime Hernandez.

Why do you think the vast majority of acclaimed “independent” comics are written in a memoir style? From R. Crumb to Gabrielle Bell to Chris Ware to Chester Brown, “indie” comics tend to be written from the vantage of the author, about the author. Why, in your opinion, is this the trend?

They must really be in love with themselves.

Furthermore, why do you not ascribe to it?

I dunno, I guess I’ve always enjoyed using my imagination more than putting my boring lame ass on the page.

"Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows," the final book featuring the young wizard will be adapted as two films.

Director David Yates remarked, "I've had great pleasure working with a tremendous cast and crew thus far, on both 'the Order of the Phoenix' and 'the Half-Blood Prince.' It's a wonderful world to work in and be part of and to create within, and I consider it a great privilege to continue to bring Jo's extraordinary world to the screen, and to be the director to complete this epic and exhilarating journey."

Happy birthday Mike!
