Fëanor pours the entire internet into the Recyclotron, and only the best links come out the other end for you to enjoy.
- Above, Cookie Monster performs metal. (Via Tom)
- Hayao Miyazaki says if Studio Ghibli's upcoming film, Arietty the Borrower, doesn't do well at the box office, the studio may have to be shut down. I can't tell you how sad that makes me. Especially since Miyazaki says if they do have some box office successes, he'd make a sequel to Porco Rosso set during the Spanish Civil War, and I need to see that movie. Everybody go see Arietty the Borrower when it comes out, for God's sake!!! (Via Camden)
- Speaking of Miyazaki, you can watch his Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind online for free. And you should! I also highly recommend the manga. (Via)
- Yeah, I gotta admit, this new Cee-Lo track that's going around is pretty fantastic. FYI, the lyrics are NSFW, and since the video linked here is just the lyrics printed on the screen, it's pretty much NSFW all the way around. (Via Amy)
- A creative use for old ink cartridges.
- Alternate universe movie posters. As in, movies from alternate universes, not movies set in alternate universes. I so wish I could see The Gunslinger starring Clint Eastwood, Ricky Shroder, and Jack Nicholson. Also, Leonardo DiCaprio as Kid Kthulu? Bruce Lee as Neo? Brilliant.
- Sufjan Stevens put out a new EP that you can download for $5, or stream for free. I'm listening now! Can't say I'm all that impressed so far, but I'm still making my way through the first track, which is almost 12 minutes long. Good old Sufjan. (Via)
- Paramount is giving a live-action Ninja Turtles movie another go for some reason. They didn't so much like the first draft of the screenplay, however, so they're getting another draft from the guys who did second draft work on Iron Man.
- An amusing Lord of the Rings-themed sketch.
- Everybody knows what a No. 2 pencil looks like, but what about all the other No. pencils? Here's a handy graphic.
- Pretty cool ad for Metroid: Other M. Although, considering that I can't find the time or the energy to play the Metroid games I already own, I probably won't be getting this one.
- Rumor has it that Shia LaBeouf says a fifth Indiana Jones film is already being written, and that the concept for it sounds "crazy" and "really cool" to him. Uh huh. Don't count your fridges before they're nuked!
- Bryan Singer revealed some details about the upcoming X-Men: First Class movie. It'll be set in the '60s, so the mutants' struggle can be easily compared with the civil rights movement; the costumes will be comic bookish; the Hellfire Club will be the villains, with Kevin Bacon as Sebastian Shaw (!!!); other characters featured: Emma Smith, Azazel, Moira McTaggert, Beast, Darwin, Raven Darkholme, Banshee, Havok, Mystique, Charles Xavier, and a female version of Angel. Say what? Well... okay then.
- An early review of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 1. The reviewer is generally positive, and one of his only problems with the movie is a complaint he had with the book, as well, and seeing as how I had almost no complaints with the book, I'm okay with that.
