Fëanor pours the entire internet into the Recyclotron, and only the best links come out the other end for you to enjoy.
- Tomorrow Monopoly City Streets launches. It's a live, worldwide game of Monopoly using Google Maps as the game board. Cool idea. (Via)
- A very moving post by Penny Arcade's Tycho about the recent birth of his baby girl.
- Aww, they're taking apart the giant Gundam statue. That's sad. It's like when they take the circus tents down, except instead of clowns crying, it's cosplayers. (Via)
- Cool custom Admiral Ackbar Munny. (Via)
- Fun cephalopodan crafts: a pink Cthulhu scarf (via) and giant squid pillow (via).
- The placebo effect is a fascinating phenomenon, and oddly it seems to be getting stronger.
- Cool stuff: "A lost world populated by fanged frogs, grunting fish and tiny bear-like creatures has been discovered in a remote volcanic crater on the Pacific island of Papua New Guinea." I think I saw that movie, or read that comic book! (Via)
- Video of an unreleased Mario game reveals that it's probably best the game remain unreleased.
- Dude, Torchlight looks cool. Apparently it's a cartoony version of Diablo. I'm not clear what platform it's on, though.
- An ad from a nightmarish alternate universe for Guitar Hero: The Beatles.
- Patrick Stewart says we're far more likely to see him return as Professor X than as Captain Picard.
- io9 presents an exploration of Hayao Miyazaki's filmography and a guide to fall movies.
- An update on Kevin Smith's horror movie, Red State. Sounds like there's a disagreement over whether the film should get its cast or its budget first.
- I still think trailers for books are weird, but this one for Leviathan is pretty cool. It's about an alternate history WWI where the war is fought with robots and genetically engineered monsters!
- A very cool Mario Bros. display made out of soda boxes.
- I already posted about the next Rambo movie, but this entry on the subject also includes a great table breaking down how many people die, and how, in the Rambo movies.
- A really cool Blade Runner portrait. Also check out this fascinating and disturbing Seven Deadly Sins of Cinema.
- Supposedly the live-action movie version of Akira is back on, with Children of Men and Iron Man screenwriters Mark Fergus and Hawk Ostby working on the script. The project is considered a "high priority" with a potential 2011 release date if the script is approved.
- Word has it Richard Curtis, creator of Blackadder, is writing a script for the 2010 series of Doctor Who, as well as a screenplay for a low-budget film about a time machine. Nice!
- Remember that Chinese farmer who built his own helicopter? Here's one who built his own submarine.
- All the trailers for the new and returning fall sci-fi shows.
- The legal dispute over Lord of the Rings has been settled, which means the movie adaptations of The Hobbit can proceed. Woo hoo!!
- Another amusing Worth1000 Photoshop contest. (Via)
- UFC champion Rampage Jackson will play B.A. Baracus in the A-Team movie. I have no idea who that is, but if the picture accompanying this post is any indication, he's a great choice.
- Josh Brolin will play the villain in Wall Street 2, and Charlie Sheen will reprise his character from the original in a cameo.
- Ant-Man could become a Pixar movie?? Yes, yes, yes, go, go, go!
- Chris Sims presents "True Bromance: Eleven Great Man-Crushes in Comics." (Via)
