Before Tropical Storm Danny makes landfall and drowns everyone, we look back on another sleepy August week and hope some real news blows this way soon.

• New York may be in for a stormy weekend, but at least we avoided Justin Timberlake's new movie.

• Mad Men got a new Bobby and a new Peggy.

• Jeremy Piven was exonerated.

• Quentin Tarantino freed the slaves.

• Bob Dylan sleighed us.

• Stephan Jenkins told us how it's gonna be.

• Jay-Z's leaks did not amuse us.

• But this guy's exploding head certainly did.

• Critics took the week off.

• Larry David paid homage to Airplane.

• Michael Myers ate it eight times.

• Hitler was not amused by the Avatar trailer.

• Goats were stared at.

• The Melrose Place remake will be more popular than Dallas.

• West Side Story lost a few Spanish lyrics, but gained Katy Perry and Russell Brand.

• Inglourious Basterds saved the Weinsteins, the economy, and the summer.

• And Ghostface took us somewhere over the rainbow.
