Stan Lee Media has filed suit against the
Conan the Barbarian movie, claiming it is the rightful owner of the character, the rights of which were transferred to another company by a former lawyer through an illegal deal. SLMi is seeking 100% of the movie profits, which isn't much at all since the flick bombed hard at the box office, pulling in barely $10 million in its opening weekend.

Fright Night.
In case you missed it, Deus Ex ships today, and it's looking pretty sweet. We have
our review up as well as
a few interviews if you want more info on the game ...
