Seems pretty intense for a mid-week movie, but we MIGHT be up for this! Back in May, we were excited to hear that Titanic 3D (above) had been set for an April 6th, 2012 release date …just 4 days before the 100 year anniversary of the date when the ill-fated ship set sail on its maiden voyage. Now, Paramount has announced that they’ll be moving up the film’s re-release date to Wednesday, April 4th, in an effort to get a head start against the competition, which includes Universal’s American Reunion and Summit’s The Cold Light Of Day

Watch out, Netflix! Redbox is comin’ for you next! Yesterday, Redbox parent company Coinstar announced that they’d be purchasing NCR’s Blockbuster Express DVD rental kiosks for $100 million! For the moment, the Blockbuster Express machines will remain blue, but soon enough we’d say they’re likely to turn red.

Guess we should have seen this coming when they announced that they’d be releasing 60+ Timeline apps … Facebook has announced that over the next few weeks, they’ll be automatically switching users’ profiles to the new Timeline format if they don’t do it on their own. For those who aren’t too familiar with Timeline, it makes UR entire Facebook history much more accessible…so if perchance you went through a hardcore Pokemon -quote-posting phase back in college, everyone will know about it sooner than later! Here are some things to think about when prepping UR profile for Timeline: -Privacy settings can be changed on specific photos/posts/etc -Dates on posts can be changed -Embarrassing posts can be hidden and posts UR proud of can be “starred” and featured prominently Sounds like Facebook users with sketchy histories have their work cut out for them ! Good luck!!!! P.S
