Dollhouse Proves The Rich Really Are Different [Dollhouse Recap]

Last Friday's Dollhouse pushed the show's messed-up preoccupations one step further: now not only can your life be erased at the push of a button, but select, wealthy people can have eternal life. Spoilers ahead!

Friday's new episode was most interesting at the margins. The main plot was riveting for as long as Dollhouse madam Adelle DeWitt was a part of it. The "B" plot showed hints of giving Topher an actual soul, and pandered to our geeky obsessions shamelessly. And then the handful of scenes we got with Paul Ballard (Tahmoh Penikett) spun his storyline in several fascinating new directions.

Wolverine director Gavin Hood hints at easter eggs

Gavin Hood, director of the upcoming X-Men Origins: Wolverine, told reporters on Friday that the film would feature not one but two different easter eggs at the end of the film's credits. (Spoilers ahead!)

Introducing the film at a press screening in Los Angeles, Hood talked briefly about the differences between the finished version and the workprint that was leaked onto the Internet several weeks ago, and then revealed that different prints of Wolverine would feature different easter eggs hinting at possible future films and plot lines.

Marvel adaptations have established a tradition of including easter eggs, or small scenes or references to other characters within the comic-book universe. The end of X-Men: The Last Stand featured scenes hinting at the future of Professor X and Magneto. More recently, Iron Man prints were released that included scenes after the end credits featuring Samuel L. Jackson as Nick Fury, and The Incredible Hulk added a scene in which Robert Downey Jr. appears as Tony Stark.
