Oh Noes! Sascha Baron Cohen is killing off Borat and Ali G. Do you think it's better to leave 'em wanting more? Or milk it for every drop it's worth until you're an embarrassment like Rowan Atkinson's Mr. Bean.

Curious George: running down the clock. Right. So it's the last work day before Christmas (assuming you're not in a Vietnamese sweatshop or something), and MoFi's closed on the weekend, so here's your opportunity to shoutout to all your fellow simians, and wish them a happy holidays!

The making of Saturday Night Fever. In 1976, producer Robert Stigwood placed a million-dollar bet on a young TV star, signing John Travolta to a three-movie deal. First up, a low-budget production based on a New York magazine article about disco-crazy Italian-American kids in Bay Ridge, Brooklyn: Saturday Night Fever. From Travolta's famous "Stayin' Alive" strut to the mid-filming death of his girlfriend, to three harrowing nights on the Verrazano-Narrows Bridge, SAM KASHNER has the story of a culture-bending hit, whose music–by a revitalized 60s band called the Bee Gees–became the best-selling soundtrack of its time.
