Sometimes, the coolest stuff happens as soon as the cameras are off. Of course, it's our job to make sure that doesn't happen, but let's face it -- we're not that good at our job. That must be why I didn't hear about Adam West's biggest regret until after our interview wrapped.

He came in today to talk about the Blu-ray release of 1966's "Batman: The Movie," and along the way he dished about his iconic take on the character ("Now you've got the Dark Knight; I was the Bright Knight" he explains), his stories from the set ("Burgess Meredith taught me a LOT about wine," he said) and even who the mayor of Quahog might be backing in the Presidential election ("I'm too busy with graft and corruption... my own").

A small-screen start proved no obstacle for "The Simpsons Movie," which has made over half a billion dollars worldwide since its July release. That's good news for that other animated dysfunctional family, says "Family Guy" creator Seth MacFarlane.

"At some point, I hope [to make a "Family Guy" movie]," he insisted. "The trick is to find a way to do it and do the series at the same time. That's almost impossible and I think that's why it took 'The Simpsons' twenty years. Hopefully it's sooner rather than later."

But should Peter, Lois, Stewie and the rest of the Griffin family meet resistance on their way to the multiplex, no worries, joked MacFarlane...he's already got a live-action cast picked out to appease the bean counters. Read more...
