Fëanor pours the entire internet into the Recyclotron, and only the best links come out the other end for you to enjoy.
- I enjoyed this web comic. Perhaps you will, too!
- I'm subscribed to Don Kenn's blog because I love his creepy, evocative, monster-filled art. Now he's made a creepy, evocative, monster-filled music video for Danish artist Fallulah. The music's not bad, either!
- Have you heard about the controversy over the Superman comic book starring an Islamic superhero that mysteriously disappeared? Here's an amusing web comic about it.
- The Branch Holder makes any stick more sword-like. Awesome!
- In this great photo, the Captains Kirk arm-wrestle it out.
- Rumor has it Chris "The Doctor" Eccleston could play Stannis Baratheon or Balon Greyjoy in the second season of Game of Thrones. I like him for either part!
- Another ban of violent video games struck down. Yay!
- I'm loving this MST3K bed frame.
- I really love this photo of Wild Things on the subway.
- I feel like I've seen, and possibly posted, this TIE Fighter costume before, but it is very funny and clever, so it can't hurt to post it again. (Via)
- Recyclotron is a bit heavy on the web comics today, I know, but here's one more: Scott Meyer's commentary on the recent news about Mark Zuckerberg's eating/killing habits. (I kind of admire the guy for this move, actually, but yeah, there is something weird and creepy about it.)

- J.J. Abrams and his production company Bad Robot will produce a movie version of Boilerplate, an alternate history story about "the world's first robot, who, in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, fought alongside Teddy Roosevelt and Lawrence of Arabia, journeyed to the South Pole and was involved in the silent movie business before disappearing on the battlefields of World War I." I get the feeling this could be entertaining, but also deeply sad.
- io9 lists Syfy's new TV lineup and provides snarky reviews of each show. But seriously, there are some potentially cool ideas in here.
- Ah ha, Todd McFarlane owes Neil Gaiman money for what he did to Spawn.
- Have you always wondered what it would look like if you cut open 32 glow sticks, dumped the glowing chemicals inside into a toilet, and then flushed? Yeah, me neither, but luckily we have college freshmen to come up with these crazy ideas for us and then put the video on YouTube.
- A pictorial guide to becoming super.
- Paul Yarrow has created a specialty for himself: he's the fat guy in the background of every UK newscast. The same link roundup that led me to Paul Yarrow features this fantastic preview of Paul Pope's awesome-sounding next project, Battling Boy.
- The highly unsettling and intriguing trailer for Catfish, which is composed of real footage of a guy going to meet a girl he fell in love with on Facebook. (Via)
- I find this oddly hilarious.
- Robert Rodriguez might direct the Deadpool movie? That seems like a good fit to me.
- "The Devil's... Spoon?" Really, that's all you've got? Were his knife and fork already taken?
- More plot details and an intriguing picture from The Girl With the Red Riding Hood.

- You know what show was awesome? Sifl & Olly. Check out the clip above (via). And here's another, even longer clip (via).
- Neill Cameron is starting a new illustration project: he picks a Twitter trending topic and draws a comic about it. It's Hashtag Funnies! Here are the first two entries.
- Could this be the world's smallest R2-D2? (Via)
- This is great: photos of all the known Game of Thrones cast members. (Via)
- Ninja riding a turkey! It doesn't have to make sense! JUST LOVE IT! (Via)
- Um... the American military has lightsabers?? (Via)
- Plush mustaches! Awesome! (Via Sarah)
- Eric Idle performs "Always Look On the Bright Side of Life" with The Roots. The other members of Monty Python are also in attendance. Terry Jones and Terry Gilliam dance with each other! (Via Sarah)
- You can download a track here by the Klingon Eminem, Klenginem. (Via)
- Hilarious poster alteration. (Via)
- Fantastic medieval-style painting of Mario and friends. (Via)
- Another memo from Adelle DeWitt. A subtext is beginning to develop... (Via)
- Look out! Giant bunneh!
- Awesome T-shirts.
- Even Bill Murray is skeptical about Ghostbusters 3. That doesn't seem like a good sign.
- A promo video/trailer for Syfy's upcoming Alice in Wonderland reimagining. Hmm. Looks a bit cheesy, actually. :(
- Scientists figure there are at least 10^10^10^7 universes in the multiverse.
- Behind-the-scenes video on The Imaginarium of Dr. Parnassus.
- Anatomical cross-sections of giant Japanese monsters.
- Pretty excellent narrated slideshow of amazing photos from early Star Trek conventions. (Via)
- Pretty exciting new images from Daybreakers, which looks like it might be a very interesting vampire film.
- Video of a steampunk toilet.
- A gallery of entertainingly defaced paper money. I particularly like the Tron-ified Abe Lincoln.
- A gorilla made of coat hangers.
- A weird, disturbing stop-motion/paper-flipping animated video. NSFW due to gore and sexual references.
- 9 of the grossest, goriest X-Files creatures. Guess it's been a while since I watched that show, because I remembered almost none of these. Except Eugene Tooms, of course. He's awesome.
- Pretty cool demonstration of technology that uses a simple web cam to copy facial expressions made by a player and map them onto a game character.
- Dude jammed a 1GB flash drive into an old NES controller, and then locked the drive down so that in order to access it you have to enter the Konami Code. Brilliant!
- A metareview of Brütal Legend.
- As Warren Ellis says, this site about a mysterious man who has supposedly appeared in the dreams of many people all over the world is probably BS, but it's a fascinating and eerie concept, anyway.
- A virtual tour of what I remember being one of my favorite Disney attractions: Mr. Toad's Wild Ride. (Via)
- This auction will probably be over by the time I get a chance to post this, or you get a chance to read it, but I'm still fascinated that George Lucas' used Starbucks cup is up for sale on eBay. (Via)
- Bai Ling's seven favorite Bai Ling love scenes.
- The trailer for Mel Gibson's next movie, The Edge of Darkness. Looks like a pretty standard revenge thriller, except everybody has to talk with fake Boston accents. I think I'll skip it.
- Two Chinese scientists made an artificial, desktop-sized black hole.
- Now here's a great headline: "Scientists Scan the Brains of Mice Playing Quake."
- Well this sounds cool: Opera 10 comes with something called Opera Unite, which is basically a web server that runs inside your browser.
- A lawyer for the group that sponsored a ban on gay marriage, when asked by the judge how gay marriage threatens traditional marriage, had to admit he did not know. Heh. (Via)

- 20 great pet costumes.
- Sci Fi Wire compares the new Doctor Who logo to the old ones.
- Geek Dad uncovers more plot holes in your favorite geeky movies in part 2 of his Top 10 Unanswered Questions in Geeky Movies. Some of these I'd never thought of before and are now really bothering me! Especially the one about Marty not disappearing in Back to the Future 2. The one about the Empire trying to kill the heroes on the Death Star can be explained by assuming that the tracking device plan was sort of a last minute thing, or more of a backup plan. But I'm glad somebody else is bothered by Obi-Wan "hiding" Luke with his family members, under his real name. That's bothered me for some time. It makes no sense. Spider-Man 2 is just one giant plot hole, so mentioning a specific issue is pretty pointless. (Sorry, I hate the Spider-Man movies.) But I think you can explain away item #1 by assuming that R2-D2 is an expert hacker, and #3 by assuming that the Force was taking a hand (which is kind of my standard excuse for nearly any plot hole I find in Star Wars).
- The U.S. military is already developing defenses against lasers and other directed energy weapons.
- "Gadget bloggers and Amazon.com reviewers now must disclose freebies and financial interests or face fines up to $11,000, according to rules announced by federal regulators Monday in an attempt to make word-of-mouth endorsements on the net easier to believe." Uh... does this mean when I talk about free music or free movie screenings, I have to mention that they were free?
- 7 good things Spike Jonze added to Where the Wild Things Are. I should perhaps mention now that I'm going to see this movie soon FOR FREE, and then review it here. I don't think the "free" part will really affect my opinion of it, but since it's the law and all...
- "Rumors are that, as part of the creation of DC Entertainment, DC Comics will move to LA, breaking New York's hold on the Big Two comic publishers for the first time ever." That makes me sad. The end of an era!
- An analysis of the major fast food chains' drive-through service. Chick-fil-A is the overall winner, and also takes the top spot in two of the four individual categories: order accuracy and speaker clarity. Click through for links to detailed charts. (Via poppy)
- A gallery of finalists from the 2009 Small World Photomicrography Competition. Amazing pictures of really tiny things!
- The latest Star Trek movie officially made the most money of any Star Trek movie ever.
- Netflix is planning a live-streaming web series called Splatter. It'll be produced by Roger Corman, directed by Joe Dante, and star Corey Feldman. Umm... wow. Okay then.
- 10,000 Hotmail, MSN, and Live.com passwords were recently exposed online, and an analysis reveals most of them are pretty bad passwords. The most popular? 123456. I mean, some of mine are pretty bad, but not that bad. That's the kind of combination an idiot would have on his luggage!
- Newly released results of tests conducted in the late 1950s reveal what should be an unsurprising fact: female astronaut candidates were just as qualified as, and in some cases even more qualified than, male astronaut candidates.
- The latest theory as to the identity of Jack the Ripper. This one sounds rather believable. (Via)
- A couple of amusing clips from Conan O'Brien where he gets a vampire assistant and a zombie assistant. (Via)
- A couple of weird and interesting online games: a confusing, surreal art-game called Evidence of Everything Exploding (via) and an incredibly cool and clever interactive puzzle called Windosill (via).
- Another cool art blog. (Via)
- A collection of concept art from recent science fiction reimaginings.
- Zombieland was originally supposed to be a TV series, so the writers already have ideas for about a dozen sequels!
- 10 reasons not to bring someone back from the dead.
- Click here and scroll down a bit for an amusing teaser for Bad Robot, which apparently has nothing to do with J.J. Abrams.
- A promo video and a couple of photos of Leonard Nimoy on Fringe. Apparently we'll see him again in tomorrow night's episode. Hooray!
- More details on Epic Mickey: it'll be Wii exclusive, and the story is about forgotten Disney characters who have grown bitter after years of being ignored and have thus spread evil black goo all over the world. Mickey has to use paint, thinner, and erasers to draw his way through the world. I like!
- Super Punch provides pics, and links to more pics, of some really cool LEGO vignettes, which include recreations of scenes from Indiana Jones movies.
- For a minute I thought this was a real PlayStation ad. I really wouldn't be surprised. Here are 43 more PS3 ads too offensive for even Sony to use.
- Cory Doctorow says "eat it!" to Ralph Lauren and their legal team (and also re-mocks a horrifically photoshopped Ralph Lauren ad); a Hulk/Wolverine mashup; and Thundercats cake and cupcakes. (Via)
- Gamer wine. Awesome.
- Is this Showgirls 2 website for real? It claims we've all been waiting for a sequel to the horrid original, and also that said sequel will be called Showgirls: The Story of Hope. Wow. All the site has on it at the moment is a lengthy video of truly poor quality featuring equally poor quality music, and nudity. So, yeah, NSFW. Also not safe for those with good taste. (Via)
- Watch a short film by Troy Nixey, the guy who's doing the remake of Don't Be Afraid of the Dark.
- 3D TV is coming! Next year, even!
- Adrien Brody and possibly also Topher Grace are joining the cast of Predators. Interesting choices!
- Apparently Edgar Allan Poe's first funeral was a colossal disaster, so they're giving him a do-over on his 200th birthday (uh, why not on the anniversary of his original funeral?). And because there's not enough left of his actual body to bury, they're making a fake one for the purpose.
- A unique and impressive method of protest. (Via Dennis)
- ThinkGeek has been working on making an April Fool's gag into a real product, and now it looks like they've succeeded! The Tauntaun sleeping bag is coming this November!! Huzzah! (Via)
