Fëanor pours the entire internet into the Recyclotron, and only the best links come out the other end for you to enjoy.
- This bullet point is for reposts from Twitter! There are a lot of rumors flying back and forth about the Alien prequel, and it's hard to determine which are true and which false. The news the other day was that the film's release had been pushed back, but now it sounds like that would only have happened if they could have gotten Leondardo DiCaprio for the movie, because they would have to have taken his schedule into account. Since they couldn't get Leo, the movie will proceed on its original schedule, with production beginning next March. However, the same report said the movie would be called Paradise, and now it sounds like that's not true. So who knows? In other movie news previously tweeted, Orlando Bloom is supposedly close to signing on to reprise his role as Legolas in The Hobbit. Now we all know Legolas was not in The Hobbit, but seeing as how he's a wood elf, and the dwarves spend some time in the wood elves' prison in Mirkwood, I can see how you could sneak him into the story. I just hope they don't make a big deal about it, and he's more of a background character. My final bit of previously tweeted news has to do with a TV show. Fringe's first episode of 2011, and the first episode aired from its new post in the Friday night "death slot," will be called "Firefly." I thought at first this was an ominous coincidence, but Blastr points out it was probably a deliberate joke/reference by the show creators.
- Sometimes reality really is stranger than fiction: those Indonesian Hobbit people may have shared their island with giant, 6-foot-tall cranes.
- Mario is celebrating his 25th anniversary this year, so The Autumn Society produced a nice commemorative image for him.
- Dude, Madballs! I remember Madballs!
- An... interesting reimagining of a Casper the Friendly Ghost comic book cover.
- The first official promo pics from the fourth Pirates movie. Nothing too exciting here, but still. Fun.
- The nisse is apparently a Scandinavian gnome of some kind. Here are some neat snow globes featuring the creature.
- A wonderful Star Wars print by Daniel Danger called "Sanctuary Moon."
- This year's Swedish Icehotel features a room inspired by Tron: Legacy. Click through for some cool pics.
- Click through and comment for your chance to win a custom-crafted lightsaber.
- My favorite Daily Batman in a while.
- Nick Cave is doing a movie about bootleggers during prohibition which will star Shia LaBeouf and Tom Hardy. Cool.
- The Wachowskis have been unable to secure funding for "their tale of forbidden love between an American and Iraqi soldier and the men's plan to assassinate President George W. Bush" (big surprise there!), but not to worry! They have another project in the wings: a modernized take on the story of Robin Hood which they're hoping might star Will Smith. Considering their love of stories about bad-ass rebels sticking it to The Man, this sounds right up their alley.
- A couple of intriguing set pics from X-Men: First Class.
