by IMDb Editors

These were the most popular news stories on our site during 2012, as
determined by the number of users who clicked on and read them.

以下是IMDB網站精選出2012年最受網友注意的十則娛樂事件，其評選標準不是別的，
正是在網站獲得的點閱量。

#10: 變形金剛找到新的男主角
Transformers 4 gets a new logo -- and a new star
Michael Bay officially confirmed that Mark Wahlberg would take over as the
leading man in Transformers 4, after the two collaborated on the crime tale
Pain and Gain. ”

麥克貝確認馬克華柏格將成為變形金剛第四集的男主角，其緣由在於雙方合作了即將
上映的犯罪喜劇「健男搶錢團」。

#9: 迪士尼買進盧卡斯影業，將籌拍星戰續集
Disney to Buy Lucasfilm for $4.05 Billion; New Star Wars Movie in the Works
On October 30, 2012, there was universal jaw-dropping at the news that a)
George Lucas had sold his company Lucasfilm for $4.05 billion and b) there
were three more Star Wars films in development. Michael Arndt was hired to
write the first installment.

這件10月底發生的事情，的確足以讓全世界的影迷吃驚到下巴快掉出來，因為：
A.喬治盧卡斯將他一手打造的盧卡斯影業，以40億美金的價碼賣出
B.星際大戰已經在準備另外三部續集，曾經得過奧斯卡獎的編劇麥可阿恩特（代表作
包括小太陽的願望、玩具總動員3），將為新系列的第一集撰寫劇本

#8: 老牌男星爾尼斯柏格寧去世
Ernest Borgnine: 1917-2012
On July 8, 2012, actor Ernest Borgnine died at the Cedars-Sinai Medical
Center in Los Angeles of renal failure. He was 95. ”

曾經獲得奧斯卡影帝獎，近期幫海綿寶寶配音的柏格寧，因腎功能惡化，七月病逝於
洛杉磯的知名醫院，享年95歲。

#7: 安格斯瓊斯反批成名作「男人兩個半」
Angus T. Jones Calls "Two and a Half Men" 'Filth,' Urges Fans to Stop Watching
Last year "Two and a Half Men" had a very public battle between Chuck Lorre
and former star Charlie Sheen. But we were all surprised when Angus T. Jones
released a video stating the show was 'filth' and urging fans to stop
watching. He apologized the next day and the ratings reached their highest
of the season. ”

其實「男人兩個半」在去年就曾經因為製作人查克羅瑞與查理辛之間的糾紛，讓戲外
比戲本身更精采。但今年更讓我們意外的是：安格斯瓊斯曾經發表一段自拍影片，
宣稱此節目「很下流」，並鼓勵影迷停止收看。不過，瓊斯在影片流出隔天就立即
道歉，而影集還因禍得福地創下本季收視新高點。

#6:奧斯卡再次證明：提名最多的未必是最後贏家
Oscars 2012: And the nominees are...
When the Oscar nominees were released, Martin Scorsese's Hugo was the most
nominated with 14 nominations and was seen as the frontrunner for Best
Picture. But as a surprise to many, that honor went to Michel Hazanavicius'
The Artist, which had received 10 nominations. ”

當奧斯卡入圍名單公布時，馬丁史柯西斯新作「雨果的冒險」獲得最多的14項提名，
並且一度在最佳影片獎的角逐上領先。然而其後續發展卻讓不少人驚訝，法國導演的
致敬型默片「大藝術家」反而是最後的贏家。事實上，「大」片在奧斯卡的提名數
也高達10個。

#5: 黑暗騎士續集科州首映槍擊案
The Dark Knight RisesHorror: Gunman Kills 12, Injures 38 at Colorado Screening
While everyone was anticipating the news thatThe Dark Knight Rises might
break box office records, we were stunned to learn a gunman had opened fire
on a crowd at a midnight screening in Aurora, Colorado, killing 12 people
and injuring 38 people. ”

正當全世界影迷都在期待「黑暗騎士：黎明升起」能打破上集票房記錄的同時，科羅
拉多奧羅拉鎮一名男子在午夜闖進戲院，開搶掃射導致12死38傷的慘案卻更讓我們
感到震驚。

#4: 捍衛戰士名導跳橋自盡
Top Gun director Tony Scott dies at age 68 in apparent suicide 
On August 19, 2012, director Tony Scott jumped to his death from the Vincent
Thomas bridge near Long Beach, California. He was 68. ”

在八月中，東尼史考特從加州長灘附近的文森湯馬斯橋跳下並當場身亡，得年68歲。

#3: 復仇者聯盟創首映票房新記錄
The AvengersSmashes Opening-Weekend Record with $200.3 Million! 
Perhaps inspired by the Hulk, Joss Whedon's The Avengers smashed opening
weekend records, becoming the first film to gross over $200 million in three
days. The film went on to earn $623.4 million and over $1.5 billion worldwide
(including domestic box office). ”

可能是獲得浩克力量加持的緣故，喬斯惠登執導的「復仇者聯盟」不但強勢地打破週末
首映票房記錄，甚至還成為美國影史第一部只花三天就賣破兩億美金的人氣大片。此片
光在北美就有6億的累積票房，全球票房更高達15億。

#2:影歌雙棲話題天后惠妮休斯頓去世
Whitney Houston Dead at 48
On February 11, 2012, Whitney Houston was found dead in her hotel room at the
Beverly Hills Hilton, just hours before she was scheduled to make an
appearance at Clive Davis's pre-Grammy gala. She was 48 years old. ”

惠妮休斯頓於西洋情人節前夕，在比佛利山的希爾頓飯店被發現遺體。諷刺的是：她
當天本來要參加由音樂圈大老Clive Davis主辦的葛萊美獎相關活動。

#1: 綠色奇蹟黑人影星麥可克拉克鄧肯不敵病魔
Michael Clarke Duncan, Green Mile Actor, Dead at 54
On September 3, 2012, we were sad to learn that actor Michael Clarke Duncan
died in a hospital after two months of treatment for a heart attack in July.
He was 54. ”

我們在九月初，又很遺憾的得知MCD在經過兩個月的心臟病治療後，依然病逝於醫院裡，
他在世的時間是比惠妮久，但過世時也才54歲。

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

心得：看到第一名的點閱率比惠妮高，一開始當然會讓我感到意外，
不過仔細想想也不是沒有道理的。畢竟鄧肯兄參演過的「世界末日」與「綠色奇蹟」
都算是經典賣座片，年輕影迷當然也會開始注意到他。

反觀惠妮在經歷家庭糾紛的爭議後，不但讓原本想找她演戲的片商打消念頭，就連
原有的音樂事業也停擺了很久，再加上後來惠妮進入勒戒所的次數頻繁，
即使知道惠妮先前在演藝圈地位的人，對她的過世再感傷也不會感到太意外。

當然，我也得坦承，我個人很少用IMDB瀏覽國外的娛樂新聞，這多少也是影響這次
排名的一個重要因素。

在整理此排行的的最後，我先祝各位電影版的影迷新年快樂，如果有空我也會陸續
整理相關的電影外電！
