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 techno remix of the Iron Man 2 trailers. (Via)
- Hey, remember Beck's Record Club? Yeah, I'd forgotten about it myself. This is that thing where Beck gets a bunch of musicians together and covers an entire album in a day. Each song is done with no rehearsing or arrangement and often in just one take. Then videos for every song are posted online. Looks like he's done three albums so far; the one I was interested in was The Velvet Underground record. (Via)
- Awesome story about the unorthodox method used to collect a large beetle specimen. (Via)
- Heh. Check out this trailer for the vampire comedy Suck. It's about a struggling band who discover that vampirism is their ticket to stardom, but then decide it may be too high a price to pay. It stars Alice Cooper, Malcolm McDowell, Iggy Pop, Henry Rollins, and Moby. Looks like it could be fun. (Via)
- Warner Bros. is looking at fast-tracking one of two Wizard of Oz remake projects. The first has Todd MacFarlane attached as a producer, a script by A History of Violence scribe Josh Olson, and a plot that features Dorothy's granddaughter travelling to Oz to fight evil. I've thought about that and I've decided the proper response is "ugh." The other is called Oz and there are fewer details on that project, except that the writer worked on Shrek Forever After.
- Nic Cage as Guernica. Wow.
- Watch Godzilla movies for free on Crackle! (Via)
- If you hadn't heard yet, Patton Oswalt is writing a Firefly one-shot comic about Wash. It should hit shelves on June 2nd.
- Here's a car that runs on coffee. Dunkin Donuts should really sponsor this thing. I mean, it literally runs on Dunkin!
- Disney has cleverly turned its monorails into Tron light cycles.
- An interesting talk with Christopher Nolan about the third Batman and the new Superman. He provides very few plot details, but it's still fascinating to see where he's coming from and the process he uses. I'm both intrigued and frustrated by his insistence that Batman and Superman exist in their own worlds separate from any other heroes. I see where he's coming from, but... those characters have interacted almost from the beginning in the comics. And how awesome would it be to see them team up in a big-budget movie?? Answer: so awesome.
- Weird details from Jesse Ventura about a film shoot he participated in with Arianna Huffington and the Wachowskis (who are really not brothers anymore, as one of them is now a woman, and people need to stop calling them that).
- Horrifying! Real personalized ads, like those in Minority Report, are on the way. On the one hand, it might be nice to see only ads for products that are actually likely to interest you. But on the other hand... ew.
- A gallery of fun video game-inspired art.
- The final part of The Chronicles of Solomon Stone #2 is now live. Why? Because shut up, that's why.
