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.

Videos of the band Phoenix playing three songs live on the streets of Paris. (Via)

Neill Cameron is still knocking it out of the park with these Santas. Toshiro Mifune Santa and Doctor Who Santa.

A couple of pretty awesome illustrations of superhero LEGO minifigs having gigantic epic battles.

Mark Millar is at it again. His next book is about a guy who's essentially Batman but evil, and in a world with no superheroes. People are describing the concept as "What if Batman was The Joker?" or "What if Batman was a total cunt?" (I bet Warren Ellis came up with that last one.)

The producers of Bad Lieutenant: Port of Call New Orleans have optioned Jonathan Lethem's Gun With Occasional Music. I'm not as big a fan of the book as I feel like I should be (I mean, a sci-fi noir detective novel should be a freaking home run, right?), but I could see it being turned into a pretty awesome movie. And if they get Werner Herzog to direct it, I will be there opening day.

The rights to the Terminator franchise will supposedly be in the hands of a new owner by February 1st at the latest. Let's hope it's somebody who knows what to do with it this time.

More fun with Google auto-complete. I particularly like the first one: "dinosaurs were made up by the CIA to discourage time travel."

The world's smallest snowman.

The Tim Burton/Johnny Depp Dark Shadows movie is supposedly going to start shooting next September/October. I bet the studio was like, "VAMPIRES R SO HOT NOW TIM PLEASE MAKE YR VAMPIRE MOVIE NOW PLEASE TIM."

You have to check out these brilliant, imaginative, and hilarious deadly creature cards.

It's Twoddler! Twitter for toddlers! It's a hacked-and-modded Fisher Price Activity Center that automatically sends off a pre-written tweet based on what part of the device your kid plays with. Just a prototype now, but I bet this kind of stuff will be all over soon.
