| 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.
- My favorite art jam blog recently took on Futurama.
- Apparently there's a series of questionably legal Russian children's books in which the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles team up with folks like Predator and Batman.
- I posted a ton of stuff to Twitter this morning, and some of it deserves to be double-posted here, like the trailer for Duncan Jones' Source Code and a couple of clips from The Troll Hunter. Troll Hunter just looks cool, because hey, trolls! The trailer for Source Code, however, is sadly not as exciting as I hoped it would be. The premise is vaguely intriguing (guy keeps reliving the same eight minutes, a la Groundhog's Day, in an attempt to discover who committed a crime), but the straightforward, matter-of-fact manner in which it's presented, and the typical love story that's tacked onto it, makes it a lot less interesting than it could be. But maybe I'm being too harsh. Anyway, I still want to see the movie.
- Adam "Apelad" Koford's "Laugh-Out-Loud Cats" does it again.
- Fox is moving Fringe into the dreaded "Friday night death spot" starting January 28th of next year. The folks at the network insist they love and support the show, and think the spot will be great for everybody, but we'll see what happens.
- An Aquaman movie is supposedly in the works. While I can understand why Hollywood would do this ("Another superhero, you say? Sure, throw him on the pile! There's always money in superheroes!"), I really don't see it working out very well. I mean, can anybody remember a good Aquaman story? Yeah, I thought so. I mean, what do you do with a hero who talks to fish? How can you do a serious, live-action movie about him?
- The search for the next Superman has begun. Apparently the lucky fellow is likely to be a relative unknown.
- Another wonderful art challenge on Warren Ellis' Whitechapel message board: "design a poster for a movie called SPIDER-MAN directed by David Lynch." (Via)
- Pac-Man/Inception mashup. (Via)
- I try to avoid posting Batman casting rumors because there are so many and they are so unreliable. But this one is irresistible: Tom Hardy could appear in The Dark Knight Rises as Dr. Hugo Strange. Hardy was amazing in Bronson, had a great role in Nolan's Inception (I didn't even realize until now that that was the same guy; that's how good an actor he is!), and is also set to star in the new Mad Max. He would be an excellent addition to the cast. Plus, Strange is a fascinating and rather obscure choice for villain.
