Welcome to Captain's Log -- your (semi) daily round-up of sci-fi randomness from around the web. Here's what's happening today:

- Here's more evidence of Robert Downey Jr's awesomess: The dude reportedly saved an extra from rampaging robots on the set of Iron Man 2 over the weekend.

- Michael Bay' second Transformers movie made $201.2 million, the second-largest amount over a five-day period after The Dark Knight. Also, it's awfulness made me sterile.

- A sci-fi-tinged comedy with Tina Fey, Jonah Hill, Louis C.K., Jennifer Garner and starring/written/co-directed by Ricky Gervais? You must watch the trailer for The Invention of Lying and read more after the jump:

- The chances of Ron Moore's Virtuality surviving past the summer have been shot out the airlock. Fox will never pick it up with ratings this low. Did you miss Friday's premiere? Watch it on Hulu.

- Apparently, the Internets does not want a remake of An American Werewolf in London.

- Here's a preview of the Watchmen Blu-ray's "Maximun Movie Mode" which features Zack Snyder talking at you and standing in front of scenes while the film plays.
