Fëanor pours the entire internet into the Recyclotron, and only the best links come out the other end for you to enjoy.
- Above is a fun new trailer for Clash of the Titans. Interestingly, it looks like they're shaping the story around an underlying conflict between the Gods and humanity. (Via)
- There's going to be a new movie based on The Shadow, and Sam Raimi will produce and possibly direct. Can't say I'm all that pleased by this news. I realize I'm nearly alone in saying this, but I think Raimi only made one or two good movies in his entire career, and those were many years ago. Plus, I really liked the previous Shadow film, starring Alec Baldwin.
- Apparently Syfy's Tin Man and Alice both did well in the ratings, so the station will follow those up with five more classic fairy tale updates, including Little Red Riding Hood, Hansel & Gretel, and Beauty and the Beat. (Via)
- I'm not quite sure how I feel about the President's proposed changes to the space program. But I do like the idea of focusing on R&D, and on going to Mars and other, more distant planets, instead of returning to the moon. Because seriously people, we're going to have to find another planet to live on relatively soon.
- Interesting details from director Joe Johnston on what the Captain America movie will be like: "The film will begin 'in 1942, 1943' during World War II. 'The stuff in the '60s and '70s [comic books] we're sort of avoiding. We're going back to the '40s, and then forward to what they're doing with Captain America now.'"
- I'm not a big papercraft guy, but this recreation of the iPad presentation is pretty great.
- AT-AT racing!
- A new trailer for LEGO Harry Potter: Years 1-4.
- Zachary Quinto may play George Gershwin in a biopic directed by Steven Spielberg.
- For some reason, despite the fact that I love martial arts films, I have yet to see any of the Ong Bak films. I really have to correct that one of these days. Anyway, here's the trailer for Ong Bak 3. Looks like Ong's Back... with a vengeance!! Boom! There's your catchphrase. You can have that one for free. Actually, it looks like dude is some kind of violent Jesus. Fun! I wish they'd up their sound effects budget, though. I think they used just the one hitting sound effect over and over and over again in that trailer.
- The Oscar nominations have been announced. I've seen only a small fraction of the Best Picture nominees, but of those, I definitely support The Hurt Locker for the win. And hey, Coraline got nominated for Best Animated Feature Film! Cool. But I really kind of can't believe Sandra Bullock got nominated for Best Actress. Guh.
