Fëanor pours the entire internet into the Recyclotron, and only the best links come out the other end for you to enjoy.
- See above for the full-length, Russian-language trailer for Timur Bekmambetov's flying car movie, Black Lightning. Seems like it could be fun. (Via)
- Wil Wheaton records an amusing exchange with a friend about the death of a D&D character.
- Seven ridiculous-ass sequels Hollywood almost foisted upon us. Pretty crazy stories of what could have been. (Via)
- Amazing photos of a hundred-year-old tunnel that lies more than 10 stories underground, behind Niagara Falls. (Via)
- Another leaked Dollhouse memo, this one by Topher. (Via)
- Truly awesome Han Solo vs. Captain Kirk knife fight shirt. WANT. (Via)
- Wonderful knitted Mario in Kuribo's shoe, plus a knitted Goomba. (Via)
- Hollywood studios are banning their stars from using Twitter because they think it's damaging the industry. This is the same shortsighted response to new technology that we've seen in the movie and music industries time and time again. Twitter is just another place you can generate publicity for your product! How is that bad?? Instead of sticking your fingers in your ears and yelling when something like this comes along, why don't you figure out how you can use it to your advantage? Idiots. (Via)
- Amusing poisonous gifts on sale at the Alternative Press Expo. (Via)
- Horrifying scarecrow Elmo. (Via)
- Some really wonderful street art. If you can't read the signs, they say "Sith Extinguisher," "Vampire Extinguisher," and "Fire Extinguisher." (Via Kaki)
- Speaking of great street art, check out these piano stairs and the amount of joy and wonder they generate. Makes me feel better about the world and humanity. (Via Todd)
- Very cute and geeky Super Mario World proposal. (Via)
- Sci-fi fun with Ikea brand names. (Via)
- Covering a Weird Al Yankovic parody seems like the height of postmodernism to me. Here's a bunch of MP3 downloads of people doing just that. (Via)
- Everybody's favorite fishy admiral goes for a pop art/hip-hop kind of vibe. (Via)
- Totally cute web comic.
- A team of engineers wants to enclose Houston inside a giant polymer dome to prevent heat and storms from destroying the city. Um... really??
- Marvel, you have enough comics with "Avengers" in the title, and way more than enough comics written by Christos Gage. Why are you putting Gage on a book called Avengers Academy, which will probably be as bad as Avengers: The Initiative? Please stop now.
- A preview of John Byrne's upcoming comic, Angel vs. Frankenstein. I generally like Byrne's work, and this preview is okay, but I don't know. This one sounds a little too silly even for me.
- Apparently there's an unaired, never-before-seen second pilot for Star Trek that's an extra long version of "Where No Man Has Gone Before," and it's going to be released on Blu-ray. One of these days I get the feeling I'm going to have to break down and get a Blu-ray player. In other Star Trek news, looks like the next movie has been pushed back from 2011 to 2012.
- A couple of Thor casting rumors: Robert DeNiro and Jude Law may have joined the cast in unspecified roles, and Dominic Cooper might play one of the Warriors Three.
- It looks like from these photos that the Cylons' "Plan" was to have a lot of sex. Which admittedly is a pretty good plan, but still.
- Fringe could be hurting in the ratings simply because there are so many other big, popular shows on Thursday night.
- Updates on the various X-movies: they want to reboot things for the Deadpool movie, and include the breaking the fourth wall stuff from the comics; the Magneto movie might not happen; and they'll use the recent, darker Harry Potter films as a model for the X-Men First Class franchise.
- Rumor had it that Jackie Earle Haley might play Sinestro in the Green Lantern film; he says no one's asked him, but that he's excited about the movie.
- A giant gallery of photos of old Halloween costumes (via). Speaking of which, here's a great Bender costume and a homemade exoskeleton costume.
- The director of the film adaptation of Ronin wants to do it in 3D. Oh my.
- Another Ghostbusters star talks about #3. Dan Aykroyd says they have a script but no greenlight.
- South America + Africa = T. Rex! Also, T. Rex wall decal.
- A pumpkin as a cheeseburger.
- Amazing homemade, full-body, leather lion armor.
- Someone spotted an interesting connection to the Bible in FlashForward.
- The 11 most disturbing "Tree House of Horror" segments from The Simpsons.
- Artist Paolo Rivera was left to his own devices when designing a journal about super-soldier experiments in the 1930s for The Marvels Project, so he slipped some Lovecraftian stuff in there. Awesome!
- R-rated movies as kids' books. (Via)
- Chris Kohler at Game|Life says Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story is a great game, but it's not really an RPG.
- The bunnies do The Wolf Man. Fun enough, but not their best effort. (Via)
- 5 horror movies you can show your kids. Poltergeist? Really?! I don't know, man, that movie's pretty scary.
- Cinematical offers a list of five possible directors of the Avengers movie now that Favreau is officially out of the picture. PLEASE GOD NO NOT PAUL VERHOEVEN WHAT ARE YOU THINKING?!!
- Look at all the new planets they found! And some are Earth-like!
- 10 things parents should know about Where the Wild Things Are. Really this could be boiled down to one item: your kids probably won't like it.
- A truly epic entry on Animals With Lightsabers.
- Cool robot posters.
- A video showing a proof of concept demonstration of playing D&D using Microsoft Surface. Pretty cool!
- Words to live by. (Via)
- Twitter hit 5 billion tweets. Wow. (Via)
