- I hear the last Harry Potter movie is out. Neat. In celebration of this, I give you: a couple of fun pieces of Harry Potter art; a great interview with the actor who plays Neville (his name is Matthew Lewis); an amusing photograph; and a fun cosplay idea from Super Punch for your next Harry Potter event: dress up as a wizard trying to dress up as a muggle.
- Cool gallery of pics from Cowboys & Aliens (am I crazy, or didn't this movie used to be called Cowboys vs. Aliens??) Sadly no shots from the rumored Olivia Wilde nude scene are included.
- Here are a couple of trailers I've posted multiple times to Twitter, and am posting again here (what? I like them!): The Thing and John Carter. Both a lot better-looking than I expected.
- Black and WTF has had a lot of amazing posts lately. Witness Kitten in Spaghetti, children posing with a giant cat, a girl in a gas mask staring at a hooded falcon, and kids reading the first wireless newspaper.
- The last two Let's Be Friends Again were pretty fantastic.
- Gallery of geeky dresses.
- Usually in video games you go for the high score, but beating Super Mario Bros. with a score of only 600 points is pretty impressive.
- Here's a handy list of all the sci-fi TV series premiering this fall, and the dates they air.
- David "Dark Knight" Goyer will write the screenplay for Legendary Pictures' upcoming reboot of Godzilla. Woah. Could we actually get a well-written Godzilla film? The mind boggles.
- Video demonstrations of a couple of neat-looking video games developed by a fellow named Arthur Nishimoto. Both are multi-player games played on a giant touch-screen. Star Wars Fleet Commander is a real-time strategy game that simulates giant space battles and TRON: Game Grid recreates the Ring Game from the movie.
- The canvas wasn't big enough to hold this painting.
- Yet another photo of dwarves from The Hobbit. This time it's Balin and Dwalin. I have to admit, some of the makeup here looks a bit goofy, but maybe it'll work better on screen.
- I just wanted to mention that for some reason I really enjoy Business Cat.

- Remember that movie The Expendables with Sylvester Stallone, Jason Statham, Jet Li, and like everybody else in it? Here's the trailer. Looks like your typical big, dumb action movie. (Via)
- Star Wars pin-ups. (Via)
- The 160 greatest Arnold Schwarzenegger quotes, all collected in one convenient YouTube video. (Via)
- Supposedly Joss Whedon is on the short list to direct the Avengers movie. This is also supposedly not an April Fool's joke. But I find that hard to believe. (Via)
- How about some 8-bit Pink Floyd? (Via)
- io9 gives us 25 reasons to get excited about comics this spring by previewing 25 of the most promising upcoming series. I agree with them on S.H.I.E.L.D., Jason Aaron's Astonishing Spider-Man/Wolverine (I hadn't even heard about that before), Grant Morrison's The Return of Bruce Wayne, Patton Oswalt's Serenity book, Buzzard, and of course anything having to do with Hellboy. I will most certainly have to try Brightest Day, a few of the new Avengers books, and The Flash, but I don't hold out a lot of hope for them. The rest don't interest me.
- The Hulk, Spider-Man, and other modern pop culture heroes inserted into ancient art.
- Another new Adam WarRock track, this one dealing (at least tangentially) with Flash Gordon.
- A unique, animated entry on Animals with Lightsabers.
- The new, manly way to cook bacon: with a machine gun.
- Paul Greengrass, best known for making a couple of the Bourne movies, has been picked to direct James Cameron's 3D remake of Fantastic Voyage.
- LOLCats trading cards.
- Ah, the Tea Party: a haven for those who truly enjoy experimenting with the English language.
- Leonardo DiCaprio may play J. Edgar Hoover for Clint Eastwood in a biopic.

- I follow Stan Lee on Twitter, but somehow missed these tweets of his that io9 highlighted, wherein he gives a plug to the upcoming Ant-Man movie (directed by Edgar Wright), as well as supposed future Marvel films about Iron Fist, Doctor Strange, and Black Panther.
- A gallery of the weird and fascinating art of David Jien.
- I don't quite follow this article, but it sounds like we can blow up cancer cells from the inside with lasers, which is pretty awesome.
- The first four covers of The Return of Bruce Wayne, featuring Time-Lost Batman.
- Sounds like Warner Bros. is asking Batman guru Christopher Nolan to help reboot Superman, which seems like it could be a good idea. Exactly what part he'll take in any new Superman movie (probably not director, but maybe producer?) is not clear, but somebody needs to fix Superman, that's for sure.
- Danny Glover as Captain Ahab in a film adaptation of Moby Dick where the whales have been replaced by dragons, and which also stars Vinnie Jones? YES!!
- It's a moonbow! A rainbow caused by the moon! Crazy!
- A sausage roll stuffed with a cheesy double beef burrito from Taco Bell! Nice.
- Yesterday I posted hot pics of the star of one sci-fi show I watch, so here are hot pics of the star of another sci-fi show I watch! It's Anna Torv of Fringe! (Via)
- A plush Boba Fett, and the first in a planned series of Star Wars-themed Imperial pin-ups.
- Lost LOLCats.
- H.R. Giger Tarot card deck. (Via)
- New Muppet music video, starring Beaker vs. YouTube commenters!
- In South Korea, robots star in plays! (Via)
- Tom Cruise is coming back for Mission Impossible 4, but it sounds like J.J. Abrams will probably not be back as director. However, writing duo Josh Appelbaum and Andre Nemec of Alias fame are involved.
- Steven Soderbergh's next movie will be an ensemble action-thriller called Contagion. The idea is that it would be a cross between the Bourne movies (in fact, the script was written by the co-writer of The Bourne Ultimatum) and Traffic, and it'd involve interweaving stories set on four continents during the outbreak of a deadly virus. The cast includes Matt Damon, Kate Winslet, Jude Law, and Marion Cotillard. Sounds vaguely interesting, except that Traffic was really pretty dumb.

- The video above really blew me away. It's almost entirely computer-generated. It's not real; it's super-real. (Via)
- The guys who wrote Zombieland will be writing the Deadpool movie. Seems like good news.
- Production on Cowboys and Aliens, which will reunite star Robert Downey Jr. and director Jon Favreau, will begin this summer.
- As Sci Fi Squad points out, it's pretty funny that the lack of sightings of the Loch Ness Monster has led some to conclude that the monster must have died - but not that it never existed in the first place.
- 100 cupcakes, each representing a different classic game. (Via)
- Sci Fi Wire takes us on a tour of an impressive Alice in Wonderland promo nesting book.
- Check out this awesome trailer for a Japanese horror film called House. It takes some unexpected turns! I really want to see this movie now. Sadly, it does not appear to be on Netflix.
- The first official photos from Scott Pilgrim vs. The World. (Via)
- Fun Monsters vs. Aliens concept art. (Via)
- That photo of the hilariously modified soda fountain gets a further, brilliant modification.
- It looks like somebody actually put a photo of Ceiling Cat on his/her check card. Excellent.
- I love stuff like this: a list of fictional restaurants and their sources. (Via)
- Cinematical has a rundown of what movie ads we're likely to see during the Super Bowl.
- Pretty cool art blog, featuring some fun animated GIFs. (Via)
- Download a gigantic collection of lost pop music from the '00s here. Be aware, it takes a looooong time to download. By which I mean, I still haven't got to hear any of it yet. (UPDATE: I have since succeeded in pulling the whole thing down and listening to some of it, and it turns out there's some really fun stuff in there.) (Via)
- An amusing video of a couple of dudes recycling their Christmas tree by turning it into a rocket and launching it. (Via)

- See above for video of a slightly creepy insectile robot. (Via)
- Five TV shows the folks at TV.com would love to see on the big screen. I'm not sure Dollhouse would work as a movie, but I'd go see it. (Via)
- A public domain collection of downloadable films noir. (Via)
- The anti-LOLcats: AverageCats. (Via)
- How do you make the tunnel ride in Willy Wonka even more disturbing? Run it in reverse! (Via)
- Five great book trailers.
- A rather fantastic "Are you a Lovecraftian horror?" flowchart. (Via Jill)
- Legendary Pictures picked up the rights to Warren Ellis' Gravel comic book, which is about a hard-ass British combat magician. Ellis himself will write the first draft of the screenplay, and serve as executive producer. I'm a fan of the Gravel books, and I can definitely see them making good movies. Should be interesting! (Via)
- An appreciation of Ian McKellan's Richard III by Roger Ebert. (Via)
- You can look through the entire book Drawing Down the Moon: The Art of Charles Vess online for free! Very cool stuff. (Via)
- Sounds like that whole thing about bloggers getting fined for not mentioning freebies when reviewing something was just paranoia. Whew. (Via)
- The ASCII-animated death of Jar Jar Binks. (Via)
- The zombie apocalypse in LEGO. (Via)
- The bad news is that the release of Joss Whedon's Cabin in the Woods has been delayed until January of 2011. The good news is it's being delayed so it can be converted to 3D!! Excellent. (Via)
- Lars Von Trier's next project will be a psychological disaster movie called Planet Melancholia. All Von Trier will say about the plot is, "No more happy endings!" Like his other movies were happy??
- Ten TV spin-offs that were better than the original shows. (Via)
- Check out this fantastic image of many famous characters from '50s sci-fi and horror films all standing together.
- Director Roland Emmerich explains how they're going to handle adapting the Foundation trilogy to film: consolidate the characters.
- It's official: Ivan Reitman, the director of the first two Ghostbusters films, will also direct Ghostbusters 3. The new film will open with the team reopening their ghostbusting service after it's been closed for some years.
- We also have a director and plot synopsis for the next Resident Evil movie. Paul W.S. Anderson is back. Apparently Alice and friends head to LA expecting a safe haven, only to discover it's a trap and the city is overrun by the undead.
- The Mountain Goats put out a limited-edition, vinyl-only EP about a secret organ-harvesting colony on the moon. Damn, wish I could get my hands on that!
- A new study suggests that Jupiter's moon Europa could support animal life.
- With nanotechnology, we could create miniaturized nuclear weapons which would have virtually no fallout, and which could be triggered by a super-laser. Greeeaaat.
- A fun clip from an episode of Batman: The Brave and the Bold wherein Neil Patrick Harris guest stars as a supervillain named the Music Meister who forces supervillains and superheroes alike to engage in a song and dance number.
- 7 supervillains io9 wouldn't mind taking over the world and why. Cinematical has a similar post: top 5 villains too charismatic for their own good.
- The ABCs of Wolverine. Fantastic!
- Unused concept art for Dumbledore's funeral. I thought they might sneak Dumbledore's funeral into the beginning of the first Deathly Hallows film, but the feeling I get from this is that they're just not going to do it at all. That's kind of a shame, although I understand why they felt like they had to cut it.
- Best haircut ever?
- Amphibious WaterCar!
- Incredible footage of bullet impacts at 1,000,000 frames per second.
- Look out! Bullet Bills!
- Mug with a cookie shelf! Genius!
- The 6 most awesome Stephen King horror films, plus 3 that sucked.

- Female screen scientists charted according to hotness and plausibility. Clever idea, although I quarrel with some of the placements.
- The BBC is holding a contest for 6-12 year olds to redesign the TARDIS control panel.
- Fantastic images: Imperial Rodeo and an outage page. (Via)
- A Lovecraftian Return of the Jedi.
- A review of Bronson, a film I'm looking forward to seeing at the Philadelphia Film Festival.

- The top five Joss Whedon characters. (Via)
