- Some people are doing it right!
- A book of nursery rhymes in comic form by a bunch of famous cartoonists.
- Jaws as a Peanuts-style comic strip.
- What to expect from season 4 of Fringe. Exciting stuff!
- The Mars rover Opportunity is still running, finally arriving at its original destination, and getting ready to search for life.
- The School Board of Republic High School in Missouri banned Slaughterhouse-Five from the library, so the Vonnegut Memorial Library offered to provide a free copy to any of the 150 students who were originally supposed to read it.
- Along with the already existing nine (9!) film versions in development, there is now also a TV version of Frankenstein in the works. Naturally it is a "modern-day take" on the story. Oy.
- The Radiohead remix album is coming in September.
- Sam Bosma shows off a great commission piece featuring Lady Macbeth.
- Neat piece of Lovecraft-inspired art.
- SETI had to shut down its search for alien life back in April, but it's starting up again next month thanks to generous donations.
- It's nice to hear that J.J. Abrams would like to add a gay character to Star Trek.
- Apparently Disney announced it would be releasing two more Marvel movies in 2014 - one on May 16, 2014, and another on June 27, 2014 - but it's unclear who or what they'll be about.
- Blastr collects 24 wild and crazy newspaper headlines from sci-fi TV and films.
- 10 fictional games recreated in real life. I can't believe anybody really tried to play Kosho from The Prisoner. That crap was crazy, yo.
- T. Rex dressed as Batman.
- Scientists say spoilers don't really detract from your enjoyment of entertainment. Also, Rosebud was the name of his sled.
- The trailer for a modern-day update of Shakespeare's Coriolanus. Looks good!
- The descendants of snakes that escaped from the set of Raiders of the Lost Ark still roam Elstree Studios. That might be my favorite story of the week.
- An infographic of everyone killed by Jason in the Friday the 13th movies, including the method of their murders. Note that these are only the people killed by Jason, so the first movie is not included.
- Exhumed Films is doing their 24-hour Horror-thon at the iHouse again this year. Maybe someday when the kid is old enough I'll go to this with him. Assuming it's still happening then, and the kid likes horror movies, and doesn't mind being seen with me, and I'm still capable of sitting in a movie theater chair for that long without permanently injuring myself.

- Hey, it's Mumm-Ra the ever-living! What a guy! I always loved that subtitle, "the ever-living."
- The latest entry on Making Game of Thrones is about designing the throne room.
- Oh man, Indiana Jones and the Curse of the Cosmic Cube would be so awesome. Way better than Crystal Skull, surely.
- Paramount just greenlit a movie version of The Martian Chronicles. I'm not sure it'd be possible to make a good film adaptation of that book - it seems uniquely... bookish; delicate and lyrical and easily ruined - but I'd be excited to see someone try.
- Here's the first episode of the new web series, Mortal Kombat: Legacy. But yeah, don't bother watching it unless you're really curious or a superfan. It's composed almost entirely of cliches. Also, if you're going to shoot a person with a gun, why would you move really close to that person first? You've got a gun! It hits people from far away! Sigh.
- Here's a cool thing: a World of Warcraft player hit the level cap without ever killing anything, and completing only one quest. The person apparently leveled up almost entirely via exploring and discovering.
- AT-AT for America seems like a worthy cause. Let's do this, people!
- The art of banana carving.
- I posted this to Twitter a while back, but it's worth another link: George R.R. Martin's top 10 fantasy films. A lot of great picks here. I'm especially excited about the inclusion of Ladyhawke, a little film from the '80s that my brother and I seriously adored when we were younger.
- Nesting robots.
- Oh sweet lord. Taco Bell is testing taco shells made from nacho cheese Doritos. Is this disgusting or deeply desirable? I can't seem to decide. All I know is, I'd definitely eat one. (Via)
- Have you seen this one-of-a-kind, fan-made Tron light cycle board game yet? Great concept, wonderful execution.
- "Comedian Brett Kreischer is apparently in the habit of leaving surprises for the hotel maid."
- LEGO mechs.
- Hey, Warren Ellis is going to write a couple more novels! The first one will be called Gun Machine. I really enjoyed Crooked Little Vein, so this is good news. Plus, you know, Warren Ellis. (Via)
- Oh no! One of the blogs I read - Download Squad - is closing up shop. Sadness.
- Heh.

- 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.
UPDATE:

- An amusing, Lovecraftian episode of Dork Tower.
- Famous fantasy illustrator Frank Frazetta recently died. Here's a pretty fantastic tribute.
- This incredibly cool new trailer for Inception actually explains what the movie is about (via). And here's a gallery of screencaps from the trailer, to examine at your leisure.
- More amazingly inventive art from Enrique Alcatena.
- Looks like we have a plot synopsis for the next Riddick movie. But it sounds suspiciously like a mashup of the plots of the first two movies.
- A new Judge Dredd movie is on the way, and naturally it will be in 3D.
- Awesome image of the Creature from the Black Lagoon rocking out.
- Great shirts recasting literary heroes as members of sports teams. And while we're talking cool shirts, here are more funny and clever designs from Threadless.
- Another cool LEGO CubeDude: Boba Fett.
- Heh. Pretty clever sleeping bag design.
- Amusing Pac-Man propaganda poster.
- Cool Alice in Wonderland and Totoro fan art. (Via)
- I would love to have one of these. I'd constantly give it to people, immediately snatch it away, then say, "Again we see there is nothing you can possess which I cannot take away." Then I'd hold it up and laugh maniacally. (Via)
- Dude, you can play Space Paranoids online!! It's pretty hard. Also note that it doesn't seem to work in Chrome, which I think is lame; I had to play it in IE. Still, fun. (Via)
- Check out the A to Z of Wolverine. Surprisingly excellent. (Via)

- An intriguing teaser trailer for a steampunk short film called The Anachronism. (Via Camden)
- io9 presents lovely galleries of some of the toys being presented at the Toy Fair.
- Photos of a replica of the alien queen made out of recycled machine parts.
- I didn't care much about Joe Hill until I read an amazing essay by him in the back of an issue of Criminal. Now I'm looking forward to reading the first five chapters of his new novel, available for free online, as soon as I get a chance. (UPDATE: I finally got around to reading this. It's pretty damn good, in a really twisted and unsettling way. Sort of like Kafka crossed with Stephen King. It's actually so disturbing I'm not sure I want to read anymore, but I'm also curious to see how it ends. Hmm...)
- A concept art blog by a dude who wants to work with Neill Blomkamp. It's called "please look at me neill blomkamp" and there is some pretty impressive art on it. His spelling is poor, but that might be for comedy purposes, I don't know. (Via)
- Dude is doing some 8-bit Dr. Horrible tracks and even putting together an animation showing what a NES Dr. Horrible RPG might have looked like.
- I saw Avatar in IMAX 3D because I wanted to be sure to get the full experience, but apparently I should have waited and seen it in Korea, where they're showing it in 4D, with moving seats, odors, water sprinkles, laser light, and wind.
- If real tattoos aren't good enough for you, how about an augmented reality tattoo that, when viewed using the proper technology, displays a flying dragon!
- Some cool clothing and accessories, including a T-shirt for Marion's bar from Raiders of the Lost Ark which I want really badly, and a Darth Vader track jacket with detachable chestplate and cape. (I got really jealous this morning when I saw a guy on the street wearing a Flash hoodie with a mask on the hood.)
- Totoro cookie! Yep, I'll post pretty much anything I find that's Totoro-related. (Via)
- Cool Alice in Wonderland art. I particularly like the Gryphon.
- The toys for the Last Airbender movie have been unveiled, and they reveal that the film version of Appa has a creepy human face! Why did they do that to Appa?? Why?!?
