| 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.
- A graph to help you visualize the value of the billions of dollars getting thrown around these days. (Via Tom)
- Amazing light art.
- 20 awesomely hot slave Leia costumes. As the site points out, this is perhaps slightly NSFW.
- Uh... that doesn't look like a deer.
- An A-Z guide to zombies.
- The dangers of comma misuse. (Via)
- A dragon and a skeleton made entirely out of plastic kitchen utensils.
- Three Teen Wolf Moon T-shirt. Heh. (Via)
- TV's steamiest lesbian kisses. It's a slideshow! Yay! (Via)
- Thundercats, hoe! (Via)
- This is pretty interesting: a list of the median age of viewers for various TV shows, including Dollhouse. (Via)
- This is a long but fascinating video about a new desktop user interface which makes clever use of touch-sensitive technology. It's called 10/GUI. I'd love to try it! (Via)
- A new computer algorithm seems to confirm the hypothesis that Shakespeare's play The Reign of King Edward III was actually written in collaboration with Thomas Kyd. (Via)
- A leaked memo from Adelle DeWitt to her employees at the Rossum Corporation. (Via)
- The latest news about Game of Thrones. Bran has been cast and filming begins soon. Woo hoo! (Via)
- An amusing web comic. (Via)
- A very silly cat gets a drink in an unorthodox fashion. (Via Tien)
- Paintings of insects mutated by radioactive disasters. I had to stop looking at these because they were making me a little ill.
- A look at the Vatican's secret storehouse of space knowledge.
- There could be a movie coming based on Chris Carter's lesser known series, Millenium, with Lance Henriksen returning as Frank Black! Apparently Carter himself would not be involved. I think this is actually pretty exciting news! I enjoyed that show, but I've since lost faith in Carter as a writer. I think if somebody else talented took the creative reins, we might actually get a pretty decent film out of this.
- Some physicists are wondering if perhaps the Large Hadron Collider is being sabotaged from the future, to protect us from a potential calamity caused by observing the Higgs boson. WOAH.
- Fox is going to run all 13 episodes of this season of Dollhouse, but due to the continued poor ratings, the likelihood of a third season is low. Thus Joss promises to give us some closure in that 13th episode, while still leaving some of his options open, just in case. Sigh.
- A short interview with the writer of Alex Proyas' adaptation of the sci-fi book series Tripods.
- A gallery of vintage robot toys. Included are both smoking and non-smoking robots. Awesome!
- Ian McKellan gives a brief update on The Hobbit. Not many LotR cast members are returning - for obvious reasons - besides himself and Andy Serkis. The scripts will be delivered soon, they'll be budgeted and cast, and then shooting should start next Spring.
- To ensure consumers that they are getting the real deal, Kellogg's is going to start branding its logo onto its corn flakes with a laser. Uh... overkill much?
- The last two Tatsunoko vs. Capcom characters are Zero from Mega Man X and Joe the Condor from Gatchaman.
- Another cool LEGO CubeDude. This time it's Boushh.
- A very cool concept for Super Punch's horror of Star Wars art contest: a Tusken Raider tells a ghost story about a vengeful demon with a fiery sword descending on a camp and killing everyone there, even the women and children. Of course, the demon is Anakin.
- A collection of cool, Disney-related art.
- Game|Life's analysis of Brütal Legend: great story, disappointing gameplay. D'oh. They still give it a pretty high rating, though.
- You can now report spammers on Twitter. Nice. (I know I post a lot, but please do not report me as a spammer.)
- Here's a website where you can play tons of classic '80s arcade games. (Via)
- Check out the first trailer for The Expendables. This looks utterly ridiculous. I mean, I'll still probably see it, because of the cast and the crazy action. But man. The corny dialog, the cliche plot. It looks so terrible.
- Cinematical celebrates those rare times when a great director was able to put out two great films in the same year.
- Cinematical suggests five ways Michael Bay could kill Megan Fox's character in Transformers 3. Heh.
- That "spy comedy romance thriller" previously entitled Witchita and starring Tom Cruise and Cameron Diaz has been retitled Knight and Day. Ugh.
- Call me a nerd, but I find these ridiculously sexy. (Via)
- A brief history of space films since Star Wars, plotted out on a map of the universe. (Via)
- Dracula's greatest comic book appearances. (Via)
- iRobot made a creepy, squishy robot that can squeeze through tiny holes.
- Iron Man 2 concept art and behind-the-scenes video.
- Fun pics from the set of The Green Hornet.
- Amazing Where the Wild Things Are tattoo.
- Jedi Beatles! (Via)
- Jemocalypse! (Via)
- Jon Favreau will not be directing The Avengers. Aww. Well, hopefully they'll find somebody else equally talented.
- Bunny!
- The 14 lamest horror movie killer costumes. C'mon, that image of the pig-headed dude from Motel Hell is iconic! In fact, it's that image that made me stay up late one night to watch that movie.
- Photos from Maxim of two of the sexier stars of Battlestar Galactica wearing not very much.
- Chris "Captain Kirk" Pine will be the next Jack Ryan. I guess I can see that.
