 by Fëanor |
Fëanor pours the entire internet into the Recyclotron, and only the best links come out the other end for you to enjoy.
- Embedded above is a trailer for Neil Gaiman's next book, Odd and the Frost Giants, narrated by the man himself. Looks like a fun fantasy adventure based on Norse mythology. I'm pretty excited about it. (Via)
- Old robots! (Via)
- Control your computer remotely using Twitter!
- Sounds like the kid who played Boba Fett in the prequels might reprise the role in the live-action TV show.
- A ping pong match done up as a Street Fighter bout.
- If I had a dollar for every time I've had to tell someone this... (Via)
- The 10 deadliest gunslingers. (Via)
- Corn Dog Lip Balm. 'Nuff said. (Via)
- Download the Muppet Mashup album for free! It's "mashups, remixes, and covers of music from The Muppet Show and Sesame Street." I haven't had a chance to listen to it in great detail yet, but what I've heard so far I've really enjoyed. (Via)
- Mr. Bacon's Big Adventure Board Game. I'd play it! (Via)
- Space smells like metal. (Via)
- A salute to mad scientists in cinema. Great list!
- Cinematical picks five guys who could replace Nic Cage as the bad guy in Green Hornet. Good picks.
- Download Squad reviews iTunes 9.
- There's now a (sort of) free version of Dungeons & Dragons Online.
- This great video for The Dead Weather's "Treat Me Like Your Mother" features Jack White and Alison Mosshart shooting holes in each other with automatic weapons until they run out of bullets.
- An unlikely series of photos: Underwater Churches. (Via)
- Pics of folks in costume at PAX.
- A-Team might have its Murdock.
- Warner Brothers and Mattel couldn't come to an agreement on a direction for the Masters of the Universe movie, so they let the option lapse. Not sure how to feel about that. I would like to see a decent He-Man movie, but really, what are the chances of that happening?
- Well, this is confusing and odd. Columbia Pictures just bought an original spec horror action script called Supermax, which "takes place in a Maximum Security Prison for the Super-Natural as a skilled guard must join forces with a lethal inmate after a riot ensues in order to fight his way through various monsters and mad-men in order to survive." This is not the movie by David Goyer called Super Max, which is about Green Arrow fighting his way out of a maximum security prison for supervillains. Huh.
- The Road's release date got pushed back again from October 16th to November 25th.
- I'll take any opportunity to laugh at the Dallas Cowboys.
- Now that the day without cats is over, Cute Overload is having a bit of a cat overload.
- The best space porn of the year! (Note: not actually porn.)
- Even Playboy is jumping on the vampire bandwagon. (Note: actually porn. Okay, in fact, it's SFW. I just couldn't resist the joke.)
- Actual headline: "Killer birds bite off bats' heads." Actual line from the article: "Great tits have been discovered killing and eating bats by pecking their heads open." (Via)
- Here's a kitty who says "yum yum yum" while he eats. Awww. (Via)
- How about some clips from Pandorum? It looks rather snazzy... but it also looks a lot like another Alien clone.
- Toys R Us will pay you for your old video games - even the really old ones.
- Two short films about film, one by the Coen brothers, and one by David Lynch. As one might expect, the former is quirky and funny, and the latter is bizarre and disturbing.
- So it sounds like a Pixar Ant Man probably won't happen. Sigh.
- The top ten African-American sci-fi characters. I love Parker from Alien! Yaphet Kotto rules. But c'mon, Storm sucked in the X-Men movies.
- Apparently when you shake the controller in Ninja Gaiden Sigma II, you can make the woman character's boobs bounce. I am simultaneously horrified and impressed.
- Chibi Namor and Punisher! And also somebody called Gentleman Ghost.
- Apparently Google made the search box slightly bigger? I hadn't noticed myself.
- An excellent true tale of conversational vengeance.
- Here's something to freak you out: scientists figure velociraptors would climb trees and jump on their prey from above.
- "An 18 year-old from a rural village in Nepal has invented a type of solar panel that replaces expensive silicon with cheap, easily replenished human hair."
- LEGO Star Wars chess set.
- Facebook is apparently stealing Twitter's "mentions" concept. (Via)
- A review of The Beatles: Rock Band.
- HA HA HA HA! No.
- A cool photo from the set of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows.
- The President's response to hecklers, in a much cooler alternate universe. (Via)
- Fun Greedo collectibles. I desperately want that T-shirt. (Via)
