 by Fëanor |
Fëanor pours the entire internet into the Recyclotron, and only the best links come out the other end for you to enjoy.
- Above is an amusing fan-made video supporting the cause of nominating Sam Rockwell for an Oscar for his work in Moon. The director approves. (Via)
- Incredibly strange, and poorly done, French Star Wars-themed dance spectacular.
- It's possible for water to start a forest fire. A drop of water on a leaf could focus sunlight like a magnifying glass and burn the leaf.
- Impressive Starry Night cake.
- The big entertainment news on the internet yesterday was that Spider-Man 4 has been canceled and Sony will reboot the franchise without director Sam Raimi or star Tobey Maguire. They're going to take the character back to high school and make it a story about "a teenager grappling with both contemporary human problems and amazing super-human crises." This new teen Spider-Man will arrive in 2012, supposedly. Frankly I never really liked the Spider-Man movies, or the combo of Raimi and Maguire, so I could see how this could be a good move. On the other hand, I'm rarely a fan of movies about teens and their problems, so I don't know. (Via)
- The folks at io9 haven't seen Book of Eli yet, but they happen to know the plot revolves around an iPod somehow still working 30 years after the apocalypse. Kinda kills your suspension of disbelief right there, doesn't it?
- The director of Legion already has plans for two sequels, but io9 suspects the first movie will suck, although possibly in a good way.
- Download Squad lists 10 fun, free tower defense games.
- Robert Zemeckis' 3D motion capture, computer-animated Yellow Submarine has its four main stars. And by "stars" I mean the people whose faces and bodies his demonic technology will make a hideous mockery of. But I kid Robert Zemeckis. Sort of. Anyway, we've got Cary Elwes as George Harrison, Peter Serafinowicz as Paul McCartney, Adam Campbell as Ringo Starr, and Dean Lennox Kelly as John Lennon. If you, like me, have no idea who most of those people are, click through for pics.
- A rather embarrassing video of a BBC reporter breaking a supposedly unbreakable phone.
- Game|Life picks the most anticipated games of 2010. I've kind of lost interest in video games, I guess. I'm not really looking forward to any of these. Three of them are the next entries in series that I enjoy, but I never got around to finishing the previous entries, so...
- Sadness: Robert Downey Jr. won't be in Cowboys & Aliens after all. In other uncasting/recasting news, John Malkovich will replace John C. Reilly in the film adaptation of Warren Ellis' Red.
