Fëanor pours the entire internet into the Recyclotron, and only the best links come out the other end for you to enjoy.
- It's time for another episode of insanely great headlines: "Laser creates 'false memories' in fly brains." (Via)
- A preview of Dark Avengers #10. Looks very cool. Can't believe they did that to The Man-Thing, though! And in such a casual, back-handed way! (Via)
- The Dyson Air Multiplier sounds like a pretty cool next gen fan. (Via)
- I do not watch The Big Bang Theory, but I hear great things, and the Wil Wheaton episode looks like it will be fun. (Via)
- @Agent_M highlights some cool art.
- British scientists have developed a system that allows primitive brain-to-brain communication. It could be the future of the internet, allowing people to send thoughts, words, and images directly into the minds of others. Wow. (Via)
- A couple of interesting tidbits from @westerosorg on the Game of Thrones pilot: the castle from Monty Python and the Holy Grail will be a shooting location, and they'll also be using the still-standing sets from Kingdom of Heaven (via).
- In retrospect, I'm surprised it took so long for this particular animal-with-a-lightsaber to show up.
- A nuclear-powered robot ship could soon be sailing the great lakes of Titan. Awesome.
- You Know It's An Indie Horror Movie When...
- In this photo gallery, io9 takes a look through movies, TV shows, and comics to find out what your favorite sci-fi characters wore for Halloween.
- A gallery of Hammer pinup girls! Very nice.
- A bunch more clips, plus a behind-the-scenes video, from Fantastic Mr. Fox. It's still hard to tell yet if this is going to be a good movie. It certainly doesn't look as exciting as I'd hoped it would.
- Jason Schwartzman says he's seen 20 minutes of Scott Pilgrim and it's "unlike anything I've ever seen. I can't tell you much, but sort of beautiful; incredible. Good job Edgar Wright, good job." Also, some Veronica Mars alumni are being called in to work on a new CW show called Plymouth Rock about a bunch of young people on board a spaceship travelling to a distant planet which they hope to colonize, thus saving the human race. (Via)
- Skull cakes!
- Yowza. Check out the women of Stargate: Universe.
- Mental Floss takes a look at the creepy and twisted original versions of beloved fairy tales. (Via)
- In a vaguely similar vein, here are 7 horrifying moments from classic kids' movies. (Via Sarah)
- One of the best scenes from Pulp Fiction, reenacted in Google Wave. (Via)
- Art through cooking. (Via)
- Underwire highlights nine great, lesser known Monty Python sketches. I was never a fan of the Bavarian restaurant bit, but the rest of these are excellent choices.
- Magnetricity sounds cool. (Via)
- Great photo of a giant Russian WWII monument that has been converted into a cell phone tower.
- A look at the impressive cast of Robert Redford's historical drama about Lincoln's assassination, The Conspirator.
- Cinematical reviews Law Abiding Citizen, which I decided not to see at the Philadelphia Film Festival last night because of the ridiculous ticket price. Looks like I made the right decision; the movie sounds terrible.
- Could Nathan Fillion star in a remake of The Greatest American Hero?? I certainly hope so.
- It is disappointing, but not particularly surprising, that Terrence Malick's latest film will not be done on time. He's not exactly known for working quickly.
- Clever and fun kids' hoodies.
- Pretty great zombie reimagining of an Empire Strikes Back poster. (Via)
- Fascinating photo blog of previously undeveloped negatives discovered at an auction. It's great candid street photography. (Via)
- Dude teaches wolf puppy to howl. Cute! (Via)
- Crazy new espionage version of the classic board game Clue which features an optional text-messaging element. (Via Nick)
- ABC is apparently considering a for-real crossover between Desperate Housewives and Lost. Because those shows have so much in common.
- Superheroes in old war photographs.
- 11 great movie scenes involving exploding heads.
- New Super Mario Bros. Wii is "pretty difficult?" What? Why?! I need my games to be easy, dude. I'm getting old.
