| Recyclotron |
 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 please find 28 Days Later remade in one minute, and all in one shot. (Via)
- Some amusing, but also slightly disturbing, visual synchronicity. (Via)
- A preview of Jhonen Vasquez's M.O.D.O.K. story from Strange Tales #2. Just as disturbing and funny as anything else by Jhonen Vasquez. (Via)
- An amusing animated gif. (Via)
- Street Fighter characters done up in Mega Man-style 8-bit. (Via)
- Your cuteness dose for today: baby red panda. (Via)
- Amazing letter from Philip K. Dick about Blade Runner. (Via)
- io9 has 14 reasons why TV and superheroes don't mix. Aww, I remember liking The Flash! I haven't seen it since I was a kid, though, so maybe I was mistaken.
- A look at the most successful summer movies. Go Moon!
- And speaking of the moon, we could harvest water from old Luna by microwaving it!
- Uh oh: the new V could be in trouble. They're splitting the 13-episode first season in two, and holding the back nine episodes until midseason. Production is halted on the show, and the number of episodes may be reduced.
- io9 and Cinematical review Pandorum. io9 says it's lame, and Cinematical says it's quite effective. Hmm. I think I will have to see it for myself one of these days.
- There's still hope for a return of Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles, even if only as a direct-to-DVD movie.
- Ouch. The ratings for Dollhouse's second season premiere were not good. I'll admit I didn't watch it - until it hit the internet later. Are they counting internet??
- The plan for the future of FlashForward. I definitely need to see the first episode of this. Perhaps on the internet! The internet is the TV of the future, people. Oh and hey, check out the fun Lost Easter Egg in FlashForward.
- A frog with fangs that eats birds.
- I got to see the trailer for Book of Eli in the theaters when poppy and I went to see Surrogates the other day. You can watch it now online. This is a movie that I've been reading about and getting pretty interested in, but the ad really turned me off. I thought it was going to be an intense, surreal, cerebral, post-apocalyptic adventure, but it just looks like another big dumb action movie. Actually, this image sums up my feelings pretty well (via).
- Remember that cute, but also sad, video where the bulldog puppy is rolling around on its back trying to get up, but it can't? Well good news! There's a sequel where the pup finally succeeds in standing.
- Dude spent 2 years building a Dalek out of 480,000 matches.
- Ron Howard may direct a film adaptation of the comic book The Strange Adventures of H.P. Lovecraft, wherein Lovecraft must fight the monsters in his own stories as a sort of supernatural detective. I wasn't particularly interested in the comic (the concept's kind of old, and most of the Lovecraftian comics I've read have been pretty bad), but who knows, maybe a movie could work. Howard's certainly a talented guy, although this does seem like odd subject matter for him.
- Joystiq and Game|Life both got their hands on Thexder Neo. Sounds like it's just as difficult and frustrating as the original, if not more so! Other fun stuff from the Tokyo Game Show: a photo gallery focusing on the games, and another focusing on the cosplay.
- Xenomorph wedding cake! Awesome! And also twisted.
- Cool entries to a recent Red Bull Soapbox Derby.
- Fun (and perhaps slightly NSFW) Batman art (via). Also, a Victorian Batman, accompanied by other fun links.
- LEGO ship in a bottle (via) and LEGO Black Knight.
- I think I've seen apps that could do this before, but still, it seems handy enough to warrant another link: Dirpy let's you rip YouTube audio to MP3s.
- Interesting trailer for the new Nightmare on Elm Street. I was never really a big fan of the original (it's scary and clever, but I hate the ending), but this looks pretty neat. I'm also fascinated by the suggestion that Kruger might have been innocent of the crimes for which he was killed.
- A trailer for, and short review of, Takashi Miike's latest, a crazy action movie full of robots and superheroes called Yatterman. It's hard to tell much from the foreign language trailer, but Miike + robots + superheroes = must-see for me.
- J.J. Abrams is producing a half-hour medical comedy show for Fox. That's... odd. (Via)
- Seven more outrageously annoying tech videos to go along with that horrible Windows 7 launch party infomercial I posted the other day. I'm with them all the way on the Palm Pre commercial with the creepy lady staring at you. What is with that, anyway? What were they thinking? Sometimes I wish advertisers would just run their commercials by me first before airing them.
- Pretty startling charts illuminating the death of newspapers. (Via)
- Interesting trailer for the Syfy TV movie adaptation of Riverworld.
- Cool Darth Vader T-shirt graphic.
- Is Super Street Fighter IV on the way?
- "Where the Wild Things Ought to Be" Photoshop contest. (Via)
