- Fun with lyrics!
- A wonderful animated gif of an amusing moment in one of Mr. Eddie Izzard's stand-up routines.
- A real, solid, scientific explanation of why cats purr.
- Mr. Hipp mashes up Star Wars and Super Mario Bros.
- Ridley Scott explains the connection between Alien and Prometheus. I'm still a little confused, but okay.
- The evolution of "Weird" Al.
- We can print robot dinosaurs now?? Awesome.
- Here's a computer case made to look like Link.
- Amazing, gigantic Lord of the Rings family tree. (Via)
- Tongue-based computer controller!
- Hey, that dude from The Killing might be Robocop.
- A couple of interesting pics of Benedict Cumberbatch on the set of Star Trek 2. Looks like he's getting the ol' neck pinch!
- When I heard they were re-releasing the universally reviled Phantom Menace in theaters in 3D, I was really curious what kind of audience it would have. I mean, everybody says they hate this movie! Why would anyone pay extra to see it again in one more dimension than before? Then again, it's Star Wars. Star Wars has a certain cache. And nerds are famous for paying for things so they can then complain about them endlessly. Plus, there's the kid factor. Kids don't know they're supposed to hate The Phantom Menace. Well, looks like the nerd and kid factors won out, because the 3D version made $73.4 million in less than two weeks and pushed the movie's overall box office total over the billion dollar mark to make it the 11th highest grossing film of all time. Wow.
- Speaking of Star Wars, here are some rejected Star Wars products. Also, in the upcoming Star Wars game for Kinect, there will be a Slave Leia dance-off.
- Cute Wizard of Oz cupcakes.
- Here's a little boy piloting a mecha suit.
- I love this stamp.

- 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.

- I've got a bunch of Song of Ice and Fire links for you today! First up is a list of ten characters io9 suspects they will leave out of season 2 of Game of Thrones. I'd be happy if they left out the rather horrendous story of poor Lollys, but I'd be really sad to lose Vargo Hoat, Aeron Greyjoy, and Craster. Next is a huge, amazing map of Westeros (via). Then we've got 11 versions of the excellent theme song from Game of Thrones. Finally, a few photos of the actress who will play Brienne in the series. She seems a little too pretty for the role, but George R.R. Martin says she looked the part when she came in to audition, so...
- If you haven't already seen it, here's our first look at Dori, Nori, and Ori from The Hobbit.
- A shirt that gives us a map of the Earth, if the Earth were reimagined as Super Mario World.
- A cool illustration blog, featuring covers for books from video game worlds. (Via)

- A couple of fun recent entries on Reelizer: a Monty Python and the Holy Grail poster called "Find the Grail" (which might be instructions as well as a title, but the image is too small to do a proper "Where's Waldo?"-style search), and a beautiful Blade Runner poster.
- Speaking of posters, here's a snazzy one for Raiders of the Lost Ark.
- Dawww. Totally cute Firefly image.
- Heh. A look at the inbox of the Witch-King of Angmar.
- I'm pretty sure I've linked to Hungover Owls here before, but the last couple entries have been golden, so here you go again.
- Awesome Captain America art from Mr. Hipp in honor of the 4th of July.
- BBC News lists 50 of the most hated office-speak phrases. This is from the UK so obviously some of these are a bit odd to American eyes, but a surprising number are painfully familiar. (Via S)
- Pretty stunning photos of people cosplaying as Lady Gaga for the recent "Lady Gaga Day" in the Taiwanese city of Taichung.
- You know I can't get through one of these without some Star Wars links, but this time I will try to keep them to one bullet point. Here's Leia as a Sith, Luke being super-emo (though to be fair he has good reason, as the image makes clear), and a potential T-shirt revealing Leia's reaction when she learned her true parentage.
- Patton Oswalt's rejected pitches for Batman comics are pretty amazing. I'd read those!
- Hipster Puppies is now a book!
- Realistic, disturbing reimaginings of Super Mario villains.
- Amazing convention sketches by David Aja.
- How about some Harry Potter links? Here's a cool (if slightly inaccurate) illustration of Harry protecting Sirius from the Dementors; an amusing T-shirt (via); and all the Harry Potter novels summarized as mostly-wordless, single-page comics.
- Fun Wolverine T-shirt done in the style of old cartoons.
- I hadn't heard of this book called Gods Behaving Badly - about the Greek Gods secretly alive and well in present day and disguised as normal human beings in New York City - but it sounds like fun. And now there's going to be a movie with a pretty amazing cast: Christopher Walken (Zeus), John Turturro (Hades), Sharon Stone (Aphrodite), Edie Falco (Artemis), Phylicia Rashad (Demeter), Nelsan Ellis (Dionysus), Gideon Glick (Eros), Henry Zebrowski (Hermes), Rosie Perez (Persephone).

- I recently discovered that my friend Cyn has a Tumblr. Here are a couple of nice recent posts.
- This new trailer for Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2 is thrilling, but a little upsetting to me. I don't remember a scene in the book when Harry grabbed Voldemort and jumped over a cliff with him. They're not trying to turn this into some typical action movie finale, are they? Because that would be very, very wrong.
- Dude, check it out. George finished the book! Of course, this had to happen pretty soon, what with the publication date already announced and stuff, but still. It's finally really done! (Via)
- io9 put together a gallery of some fantastic-looking Yugoslavian monuments.
- A wonderful set of cover illustrations for a pulp magazine that doesn't exist. (At least, I don't think it does.)
- So apparently the European Commission has approved the construction of an ultra-superlaser capable of tearing apart space-time. What could go wrong??
- A clothes hanger inspired by Magritte.
- Amusing video of Mario using the gun from Portal to make his life easier - and play pranks on his brother.
- Here's a tapir getting a massage.
- A couple of cute illustrations set on the planet Hoth.
- Check out some photos of an amazing Alice in Wonderland-themed restaurant in Japan.
- Beautiful poster for an episode of the original Star Trek.
- Chris Sims picks the 25 most awesome Action Comics covers of all time for Comics Alliance.
- Eeww. The average steering wheel is filthier than the average public toilet seat.
- An interviewer makes Mark Ruffalo put on Hulk hands, which is hilarious, and also gets him to reveal that his Hulk will have a couple of lines in The Avengers.

- Elisabeth Sladen, who played Sarah Jane Smith on Doctor Who, has passed away. Sadness. All the old Doctor Who actors seem to be going away.
- io9 gives us a glimpse of what Star Trek TV shows by William Shatner and Bryan Singer might have been like. Shatner's sounds awful, but Singer's has promise.
- Check out this cool 30-second ad for X-Men: First Class. This movie could work after all!
- This Super Punch link roundup includes the imaginary menu at Guy Fieri's Passover dinner (the article's pretty harsh to poor Guy Fieri, whom I rather like, but still pretty funny), as well as links to all the character fatalities, stage fatalities and babalities in Mortal Kombat 9. Not that Mortal Kombat was ever subtle or tasteful, but man, they've really gone overboard with this one. All the characters are constantly covered in blood and gore, all the women have huge breasts and skimpy clothing (even the four-armed monster woman!), and pretty much every fatality involves gory dismemberment. Ugh.
- Pretty cute Super Mario Bros. wedding video. (Via)
- Another Super Punch link roundup brings us an Artist-Formerly-Known-As-Prince-themed Slanket, and a Tron vs. MCP animated gif.

- Sam Bosma draws frogs and kaiju.
- I feel like I've seen this person's work in a comic book, but maybe it just reminds me of somebody else's art. Anyway, it's good stuff.
- Holy crap, Game of Thrones got renewed already! I'm guessing the numbers for the premiere were good.
- io9 decides to answer the question, "How big an explosion could you realistically survive?" The answer is, not a very big one. Most of the explosions people survive in movies and on TV you wouldn't actually survive in real life. Which is disappointing, but not all that surprising. Best advice? Run as far away as you can as fast as you can.
- Listen to a BBC recording from 1939 of a British soldier playing King Tutankahmun's 3,000-year-old trumpets. (Via)
- Here's the first officially released clip from Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2. It looks like it's probably the opening scene. I can't say it's particularly impressive - I'm particularly unenthusiastic about Harry's final line there - but it's okay.
- Rockne S. O'Bannon, creator of Farscape, says he's doing a new series for Syfy. He sounds very excited about it. io9 speculates it might be an Alien Nation reboot. Regardless, it's intriguing news.
- Video of a guy demonstrating a mini-crossbow he made. It's got pretty impressive firepower, and he's a pretty good shot with it.
- Other video game characters audition their own rejected Mortal Kombat fatalities.
- Spock laser-etched onto a matza. (Btw, why is there no single, agreed-upon spelling for matza? Let's get together on this, people.)
- Some of these Super Mario propaganda posters are pretty good.
- The official announcement of which characters Marion Cotillard and Joseph Gordon-Levitt will be playing in The Dark Knight Rises. They sound like nobodies, but as io9 points out, Christopher Nolan probably has surprises in store for us.
