Who's up for an after-work beer?

Finally! We've found a beer garden for people who wouldn't be caught dead in a beer garden and a library for people who wouldn't be caught dead reading a book! Ultra-fancy NoMi's Garden and Lounge menu now offers a "Library Selection" for "high-brow brews." We love it!

The current list includes seven small-batch craft beers specially selected for these rising summer temps. Among the selections: A $70, 750ML bottle of 2002 DeuS Brut des Flandres from Belgium. (That's the size of your typical bottle of wine.) A little bit more down to earth -- and closer to home -- is Goose Island Reserve Pere Jacques ($12).

Have a 'Fantastic' weekend?

Audiences don't seem to care if "Fantastic Four" is fantastic or not. The dopey sequel "Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer" glided its way to number one this weekend, taking in $57.4 million to beat the $56.1 million opening weekend for the first "Fantastic Four" in 2005. The week's only other wide release, the decent kid flick "Nancy Drew," couldn't solve the mystery of putting people in the seats, coming in at number seven with $7.13 million. Previous chart-toppers "Ocean's Thirteen," "Knocked Up," and "Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End" continue to hold strong in the two, three and four slots.

What did you think of "Fantastic Four"? Would you have seen "Nancy Drew" if you were, um, 12? Can Steve Carell save next week's "Bruce Almighty" sequel, "Evan Almighty"?
