Fëanor pours the entire internet into the Recyclotron, and only the best links come out the other end for you to enjoy.
- Dude! Official pics from the set of The Hobbit! It's Bag End!
- Awesome poster for a Lovecraft-inspired exhibition and art book called Dead and Dreaming.
- Let's Be Friends Again unveils the newest member of the Endless.
- Now we know who Joseph Gordon-Levitt is playing in The Dark Knight Rises, and it's not really anybody I would have expected. A very obscure character! But it does fit in very well with the story Nolan has been telling throughout his Batman films, so okay.
- In case you haven't seen it yet, Warren Ellis started another redesign thread on his message board, this one for the cover of Fantastic Four #1. Some pretty great stuff in there.
- Super Punch presents another nice illustration roundup.
- Speaking of Super Punch, here are a couple more entries in the site's X-Men: First Class poster redesign contest.
- Cinematical picked out some fun bits from an interview with Billy Dee Williams, including the hilarious revelation that the guy has an Ewok head in his closet.
- There's going to be an Office Space Printer Smash in Philly on April 26th. Bring your tech rage!
- Voting has begun for the second round of io9's March Movie Madness poll. I am deeply upset that The Day the Earth Stood Still (1951) is currently losing to District 9. District 9 isn't a terrible movie, but it's not as good as some people say it is, and it's certainly nowhere near as excellent as the original TDtESS. That movie's a classic! C'mon people! Respect!
- What the hell is with all the Peter Pan movies in development?
- Michael Chabon might write Disney's Magic Kingdom. Huh. That movie just became more interesting to me.
- True Lies is a pretty okay movie, excepting a lot of the incredibly creepy first half, in which Arnold is basically torturing and abusing his wife for almost cheating on him after ignoring her for years. But a sequel? No, we do not need that.

- NASA is auctioning off a huge number of items on January 13th. Check out a preview here. Up for sale are the flight plan that went to the moon, a lunar meteorite, and Buzz Aldrin's 8th grade report card. (Via)
- The guy who made the Tin Man and Alice miniseries for Syfy is making a four-hour Peter Pan prequel called Neverland - you can watch a behind-the-scenes teaser video here. The filmmaker tells us it will reveal what Neverland is, and where Peter Pan and the Lost Boys came from. Which are things I think we're better off not knowing, actually, but... okay. Interestingly, Bob Hoskins will reprise the role of Smee, which he first played in 1991's Hook.
- A synopsis and some pics from Steven Spielberg's upcoming time-traveling adventure TV show, Terra Nova.
- Blastr collected together the 55 "hottest" trailers for movies coming out this year, in case you want to kill some time watching a ton of videos.
- A gigantic infographic featuring every Batmobile ever (supposedly - it's hard to believe they managed to include every single one, seeing as how there have been so many).
- Tronified versions of Bambi and Stitch.
- As 2010 turned to 2011, Japan broke a Twitter record with 6,939 tweets per second.
- Wow, Fringe has got a crazy awesome promotional dealie going on. In the next episode, Walter is going to meet his musical idol, the keyboardist for a '70s band called Violet Sedan Chair. The crazy bit is, the show's producers actually created a vinyl album by Violet Sedan Chair called Seven Suns and shipped copies to record stores around the country. Each copy is unique and contains clues and spoilers about the show hidden in the lyrics and liner notes. Awesome.
- I've already posted about the rumor that Orlando Bloom might return as Legolas in The Hobbit, and how I think that could work. But now there's a rumor going about that Elijah Wood might reprise his role as Frodo, and that makes less sense, seeing as how his character wasn't born yet during the events of The Hobbit. I guess they could use him in some kind of frame story, but that seems rather lame and unnecessary.
