I noticed that the Facebook "Like" buttons on my blog got messed up somehow or other - the ends were cut off - so after an hour or so of painful struggle, I think I've got them fixed so you can see them properly again. It's been a while since I had to do front-end web design, and man, I forgot how frustrating fighting with css can be! Good times.

Anyway, as always, let me know if you see anything around here that looks weird, or you find something broken, and I'll see what I can do. Thanks!

Fëanor pours the entire internet into the Recyclotron, and only the best links come out the other end for you to enjoy.

• Dan Hipp does another Tintin mashup, this time with Tron.


• I love the work of remix artist Pogo. Here he (she?) takes on the extremely weird H.R. Pufnstuf.


• The Onion A.V. Club gives a surprisingly positive review of the new Mortal Kombat. Now I'm intrigued!


• More cool posters on Reelizer: Inception and Star Wars.


• Cool vintage behind-the-scenes image from the making of the original Star Trek TV series.


• Nintendo has officially announced that the successor to the Wii console will be released in 2012. The company goes on to say it'll already have a playable version ready for this year's E3 in June. So by next year, I will no longer own a "next gen" console - just a last gen one. I'll be out of the loop! Until Griffin demands whatever the newest thing is, of course, and I'll have no choice to meet his demands. No choice, I tell you!


• Amusing buttons.


• Classy animated gifs. No, really! (Via)


• Clever ad that only becomes visible when wet.


• LEGO, pirate version of Shuttle Tyderium.


• If you "like" My Morning Jacket's Facebook page, you can listen to a couple of tracks off their upcoming album, Circuital. "Holdin' on to Black Metal" is pretty damn fantastic.


• I'm usually not a huge fan of papercraft, but this papercraft replica of Howl's moving castle is impressive.

Fëanor pours the entire internet into the Recyclotron, and only the best links come out the other end for you to enjoy.

• I posted one of these images to Twitter already, but here's the full collection of imaginary Scooby-Doo guest stars.


• The new trailer for Cowboys & Aliens reveals more of the story and is also pretty awesome.


• io9 mashed together all currently available Super 8 viral videos into an intriguing film strip.


• The 10 most awesome married couples in fantasy and sci-fi.


• Another thing that I already posted to Twitter but that deserves another link: World's Biggest Pac-Man. It keeps going and going and going... (Via)


• I cannot really express how excited I am about this behind-the-scenes video of the production of The Hobbit. (That's a Facebook link, I'm afraid, so non-Facebookers may not be able to access.)


• Some pretty cool new pics from X-Men: First Class.


• HBO is so confident that Game of Thrones will be popular enough to be renewed that the network has already asked show-runners David Benioff and Dan Weiss to start working on stories for season two. Awesome. (Check out my review of episode one of the show right here.)


• As if Game of Thrones wasn't enough, now comes the news that the network is also developing Neil Gaiman's American Gods as a potential series. That would be amazing.


• I've never been a big Calvin and Hobbes guy for whatever reason, but this poster of the characters as Mexican wrestler private investigators is pretty amazing. (Via)

• Want to make a clever single-serving website, but don't want to buy the domain name and go to all the work of setting it up? Tom Boutell has the answer! Now I just need to come up with an idea for a clever single-serving website...


• Some wonderful Dune art. I particularly like the illustration of the "Fear is the mindkiller" speech.


• I'm just going to put this here: "Nanogenerators powered by your heartbeat could replace batteries in five years, say chemists."


• Heh. This Fake Science Tumblr is pretty funny. And it just got a book deal!


• The folks at io9 have seen the first 40 minutes of Cowboys and Aliens, and they give it a thumbs up.


• It seemed odd to me that Dillinger's son appeared in Tron: Legacy, but never really took part in the plot. This cool little video explains his presence by suggesting that he, and the Master Control Program, will indeed play a part in the next Tron film.


• Hey, a new entry on hipster puppies! And it's very funny!


• Enrique Alcatena does it again. Here are some amazing splash pages for a series following the adventures of a bad-ass dandy living in an alternate version of 19th century England.


• Noted Batmanologist Chris Sims highlights 10 of the more insane and hilarious illustrations from a crazy Batman storybook.


• More great posters from Reelizer, this time for Raising Arizona and Wild at Heart.


• Wondermark reveals what happens to you if you eat one of those silica gel packets that tell you not to eat them.


• Apparently you can now put out fires with magic wands that shoot electrical pulses. I love the future!


• A wonderful sci-fi character growth chart.


• Let's get all the comic book movie news out of the way in one bullet point. Supposedly a Justice League movie could be here by 2013, and we're looking at the strong possibility of X-Men 4 and 5. Christopher Nolan is guarding the ending to The Dark Knight Rises religiously, and the Batman franchise is likely to get rebooted yet again once Nolan is done with it. I guess because his version wouldn't really allow for a Justice League movie? Finally, some new images from X-Men: First Class which do not in any way assuage my trepidation about this film.


• Peter Jackson is sticking more ladies into The Hobbit. Which is a noble goal and all, but still... you're rewriting my Bible, man!!


• Your first look at Andy Serkis as Caesar in Rise of the Apes.


• Oh man, I love the Lando Lakes butter wrapper.


• Creative use of the Facebook Like button.


• The last image in this roundup is my favorite. But then, I'm always partial to magic doors.


• Holy crap, a new Bunnies reenactment! Be sure to stick around to the end and watch the deleted scenes.


• There could have been an edition of The Hobbit illustrated by Maurice Sendak. So sad this didn't happen.


• Amazingly detailed, fan-created Muppet Show playset.

Fëanor pours the entire internet into the Recyclotron, and only the best links come out the other end for you to enjoy.

• This video short which covers what happens between Tron and Tron: Legacy, as well as a bit of what happens after the end of Tron: Legacy, is a bit cheesy, like anything Tron-related, but also rather fun and cleverly done.


• The "Making Game of Thrones" blog has started a series of video features on the various noble houses. First up, naturally, is House Stark. Plus, there's another awesome, awesome trailer for the show as a whole.


• Here's a dude who buys boring landscape paintings at yard sales and then adds monsters to them. Excellent.


• I can't be the only one who thinks this teaser trailer for the new Conan the Barbarian is terrible. Seriously, it's like a parody of bad action movie trailers, complete with a "THIS SUMMER" opening and a ridiculously growly-voiced narrator. Plus it shows you absolutely nothing, and the dialog is terrible.


• In case you haven't seen it yet, the trailer for Super 8 is really worth watching. This looks and sounds like vintage Spielberg.


• A very colorful car crash: a truck carrying 8,000 gallons of printer ink flipped and busted open, spilling various colors of ink all over the road.


• Super Mario Bros. with more realistic sound effects. (Via)


• A couple of sets of micro-scale LEGO vehicles.


• Another amusing Super Punch image roundup.


• The iPhantom Zone.


• Oh hey, Facebook has finally expanded @ tagging to comments (which we all thought it should have had in the first place).


• It only costs $50 to spend three hours in the Batman suite. And you know what hourly rates means! It means Bat-sexy time.


• After I saw Moon, I was really excited to see what director Duncan Jones would do next. I was a little disappointed in the first trailer for his follow-up, Source Code, but this review is promising.


• I absolutely love this idea: adding tiny doors to boring facades.


• Lots of wonderful art is up for sale online to benefit Ghana.


• Stephen King wrote another Dark Tower book! It's called The Wind Through the Keyhole and it's set between Wizard and Glass and Wolves of the Calla.

Since I've got Twitter buttons all over, I thought it only fair I stick Facebook buttons all over, too. So I've added the Facebook "Like" button to all individual blog entries, as well as to They're Cops. I've also updated the blog's main page so you can Like or Tweet individual entries directly from there, or Like or Tweet the main page itself. And besides all that, I also made a handful of other little tweaks and improvements I won't bother describing in detail. Huzzah!

Hulk tired of Facebook invading Hulk's privacy! Hulk starting own social networking site: Hulkface! Every profile picture will be photo of Hulk's face. That as far as Hulk got idea-wise, but once design done, Hulk sure Hulkface will take off like space rocket. Hulk recommend puny humans invest venture capital now.

• Gotta love this angry, confused Aquaman.


• Some famous ladies, interpreted by Darwyn Cooke.


• An interesting analysis of Facebook's users by demographic. Looks like the site is losing the 18-44-year-olds!


• If you count all the money that goes into marketing and distribution fees, big expensive blockbusters like Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix actually lose money.


• MGM's continuing financial woes have killed the next James Bond movie, and possibly scared Ian McKellen away from The Hobbit. Gah!
