I had a lot on my plate the past few days; hence this post was delayed. Anyway, the new Entertainment Link-Off is here! It’s Thanksgiving weekend in Canada. Happy Thanksgiving everyone! This weekend also marks the release of the ensemble comedy Couples Retreat. Apparently it’s horrible, but Kristen Bell is in it! That should be worth snatching an admission ticket.

After the jump some tidbits on Friday Night Lights, cartoons gone wild and what would the movie 2012 be like without CGI?

I’m hooked on the new series FlashForward. Since Sulu John Cho is in this, I’m more inclined to stick with it for the time being. Plus, his character is rather interesting given that he didn’t catch a glimpse of the future like the other folks. Want to know what happens next? Don’t bother, he doesn’t know either. (The TV Addict)

Friday Night Lights is premiering on DirecTV later this month. Now the FNL boss spills the beans on the upcoming season. (E! Online)

I know we were all distracted by the wonderful CGI during that five minute clip of 2012 last week. Now that Colours Source has edited out all the destruction, we can focus on the wonderful acting from John Cusack et al. Yes, all 1 minute and 26 seconds worth of it.
