'Battleship' Sunk By 'Avengers' At Weekend Box Office

"You sunk my Battleship!" is not a line you'll hear in Peter Berg's big-screen adaptation of the Hasbro board game ("They don't sink our battleship," he reasoned when MTV News recently brought up the topic), but perhaps it's a phrase Universal execs are shouting in the general direction of "The Avengers" this morning.

Super Tuesday: Box Office Edition

It might seem like the GOP primary season has been stretching on since the day Barack Obama entered the White House — with the seemingly endless blather about socialism-inspired domestic initiatives and terrorist-sympathizing foreign policy, about how gay marriage will destroy the moral fabric of society, about how asking for heath care-provided contraceptives makes you a slut — it's only just beginning.

Because today is Super Tuesday — the biggest, baddest day on the GOP nominating calendar. Primaries and caucuses in 10 states (Alaska, Georgia, Idaho, Massachusetts, North Dakota, Ohio, Oklahoma, Tennessee, Vermont and Virginia) will be held today. 419 GOP convention delegates are up for grabs. Mitt Romney is vying to re-solidify his front-runner status. Rick Santorum is hoping voters will coalesce around a guy with a 1950s moral compass and a 21st-century hatred of government. And Newt Gingrich and Ron Paul are still hanging around because, well, what else have they got to do?

There Can Only Be One 'Highlander'... And It's Ryan Reynolds?

Last we heard, Ryan Reynolds was still in talks for the lead role in Summit Entertainment's upcoming remake of "Highlander." But in the month that's passed since that news hit the web, it seems as though Reynolds has nailed down the part.
The Tracking Board has learned that Reynolds has officially been cast as Connor MacLeod. We'll wait for a studio confirmation before we take that as fact, but for now it seems like it's pretty likely that Reynolds will get the role.
