Here’s a kid’s film that BoomTown–who is force-marched to see these until approximately 2018–is actually looking forward to: The sequel to the delightful “Kung Fu Panda.” This one, as everything in Hollywood must be these days, is in 3-D and subtitled “The Kaboom of Doom.”

One might have hoped that the Apple iPhone 3G media Hypestar that descended on the tech news arena would have been able to drown out the irksome bickering that has seemingly become a daily occurrence between billionaire investor Carl Icahn and Yahoo via dueling public letters. But no! And, unless Microsoft mercifully steps in and forks over $34 a share to rebid for all of Yahoo, it’s likely this playground-level of fighting will go on until August 1.
