The Dark Knight

The Dark Knight" has taken eight Key Art Awards, including best theatrical poster and best TV spot, in the annual competition to honor the best in movie promotions in all mediums. The awards show was held Friday night at the Geffen Contemporary at the Museum of Contemporary Art in downtown Los Angeles. "WALL-E" trailed "Knight" with seven awards while Warner Bros., Disney and Paramount each took 10 awards. Sony won eight.

Sam Raimi, who directed "Spider-Man," "The Quick and the Dead" and "The Evil Dead," accepted the Visionary Award for inspiring movie marketers to create high quality work.
By today you should know the full extent of your capabilities of getting TV signals, now that all stations will have made the switch from analog to digital transmission. Plan your trip to the store to get a digital converter box accordingly.
David Carradine will be saluted in a movie marathon on Spike TV today. It starts with one of his biggest roles in recent years, in the whole of "Kill Bill Vol. 1" (Spike, 2 and 7:30 p.m.) and "Kill Bill: Vol. 2" (Spike TV, 4:30 and 10 p.m.) twice. Then comes "Kung Fu Killer" (Spke, 1 a.m.). Say your final whimsical farewell to "Pushing Daisies" (ABC, 10 p.m.), which runs its last episode ever tonight. In the same space next week, the network will run off its remaining episodes of "Eli Stone." Say what you will about their cancellation decisions, at least they're allowing you to see the rest of the episodes that were shot. Not every series is afforded that courtesy.
