• Basic Instructions covers both sides of the old Star Wars vs. Star Trek debate.


• It's technically a commercial for a car, but this amazing video also features slow-motion footage of said car crashing through glass and breaking giant water balloons, so...


• Apparently Ryan Reynolds is going to be the new Highlander. Hmm.


• This illustration roundup features a catbus!!! Auto-post!


• The guy who made that pretty amazing Super Mario Crossover online game is Kickstarting something similar involving original characters.

• This is a pretty wonderful story.Pretty great Joust illustration.


• Heh.


• The UK trailer for Looper! The director himself warns that it's a bit spoilery, though, so consider carefully before watching.

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

• New Hark! A Vagrant!


• A panda enters.


• There a whole lot of blogs involving artists redrawing/reimagining other art, but... well, here's another! It's a series of artists redoing all the character portraits from The Official Handbook to the Marvel Universe.


• One of my favorite artist/bloggers, Noelle Stevenson, has launched her fantasy web comic Nimona. It's pretty good!


• The very last Life In Hell strip was recently printed. Never really got into this strip too much, but definitely feels like the end of an era.


• This guy is redoing Blade Runner as a series of watercolor paintings, which is insane.


• A teaser trailer for the Monsters Inc. prequel, Monsters University. Looks like fun!


• A few drinks while you're pregnant is not going to permanently damage your baby. There's science now to back this up. So let's all calm down just a little bit.


• Here's a trailer for a movie called Prototype, which is about an experimental robot going rogue. Or a human being who turns into a robot? Or something? Looks neat.


• Apparently the best predictor of how well a movie will do at the box office is online buzz.


• There's going to be a Sesame Street movie! Who knows how this will turn out, but I'm cautiously optimistic.


• Apparently Hobotopia did a series of Lord of the Rings-related comics. Nice! The 2000th entry of that strip is coming up, which should be fun.


• Hey, Sin Titulo started updating again.


• The ISS re-cut The Avengers.


• A chart explaining the evolution of the alien as described in Prometheus. (Spoiler alert!)


• Crazy video of a dude killing bosses in Diablo III in ridiculously short amounts of time. Like, he polishes off the Skeleton King in less than a second. (Via)

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

• Apparently Nike has finally actually created those self-lacing shoes from Back to the Future II.


• "George Lucas offers a compelling argument against George Lucas."


• Beards and Bellies started updating again!


• A man attempted and failed to rob a 7-11 in San Diego while wearing a Gumby costume. The best part might be the fact that the clerk had never heard of Gumby and described the costume as a green Spongebob Squarepants.


• Warner Bros. has come up with some unique advertising for the movie Contagion: a living billboard that grows the name of the movie out of bacteria and mold.


• They've finally actually started selling .xxx domains. So in case you were waiting for that to happen to start your porn site, now's the time.


• Super Punch highlights the art of Julian Callos, which is pretty impressive.


• A fellow by the name of Matt Rhodes draws his own, cartoony version of Lord of the Rings. His accompanying comments are interesting and bittersweet. (Via)


• The Legend of Zelda album.


• Google became even huger today by buying Zagat.


• The Diablo III closed beta has begun. Oh boy, oh boy, oh boy!


• Loving this small sampling of the art of Chris Foss. I remember getting a book of spaceship art out of the library when I was a kid, copying the drawings and coming up with my own, and either Foss or somebody imitating him must have drawn that book, because this looks very familiar.


• Watch a deleted scene from Thor here. It's not all that exciting, I'm afraid - just a more detailed introduction of Sif and the Warriors Three - but still. Thor deleted scene! You know you have to watch it.

• I'm thinking a lot more people would use the Microsoft error-reporting dialog if it worked like it does in this video. Although seeing as how I'm a developer myself, the idea of people being punished by remote users for every bug they write into a piece of code is as terrifying as it is amusing. (Via Howard)


• Apparently Frank Miller is on Twitter and tweeted enigmatically the other day that something called "DINOSAUR" is coming this week. I've mostly lost faith in Mr. Miller, but I have to admit this has me a bit intrigued.


• Seven new clips from Wolfman. Some pretty big spoilers here - you see the creature and everything - so maybe don't watch these if you want to stay pure for the movie. For my own part, having watched these clips, I'm not as excited for the movie anymore. It doesn't really look that great. Corny dialog and not very impressive performances; apparently Anthony Hopkins just set himself to auto-creep mode.


• Let's Be Friends Again is not always funny, but this one is pretty good.


• Samuel L. Jackson is creating his own comic called Cold Space, a four-issue sci-fi/action miniseries for Boom! Studios. It's about "an opportunist who crash lands on a planet in the midst of a civil war, discovering a way to play both factions against each other for his own personal gain." Celebrity forays into comics are not often good, but this sounds like fun.


• It seems like you can never have enough USB ports! But maybe you can now with this 80-port USB panel.


• Here's a machine that turns extra office paper into toilet paper. Okay then.


• Yay, the Razzie nominees are out! I stand fully behind the nomination of Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen for worst picture of 2009. (Via)


• Sci Fi Wire put together a list of 9 underrated, overlooked sci-fi and fantasy films of 2009. Some of these look pretty fascinating.


• New Diablo III screenshots!


• Some fun fake Garbage Pail Kid sketch cards. (Via)


• Fun with LEGO.


• Every time I give up on Clone Wars, I start hearing great things about it again. For instance, the show recently featured a cubist painting of the Queen of Mandalore, and the Star Wars version of Guernica, which depicts the Mandalorian War against the Old Republic Jedi.


• A site called Little White Lies is running an interesting art contest to promote the movie Kick-Ass: the entrant is asked to reduce his favorite film to six comic book panels. (Via)


• Plush Lion-O.


• Interesting new pics from Alice in Wonderland.


• Okay, the trailer for the Wall Street sequel is pretty good. (Via)

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

• Click on the top right box on this page and you can watch an hour long documentary about Jack Kirby. I rarely have a full hour to spare to watch a video on the internet, but I made time for this one. Very interesting. (Via)


• Listen to Christopher Walken read Edgar Allan Poe's "The Raven." By the way, it's a pet peeve of mine when people misspell Poe's middle name as "Allen," and the makers of this video did just that. Gah! (Via)


• The top ten of the 70 most iconic Marvel panels of all time. (Via)


• An excellent political comic on the whole "Obama talks to school kids" fiasco. (Via)


• Ah ha ha ha! Someone presented Jonathan Coulton with a pony/monkey monster at PAX. (Via)


• If I had a frog, I wouldn't want him or her to live anywhere else. (Via)


• I'm loving the new video game-inspired GMail theme. (Via)


• The Museum of Jurassic Technology in Culver City, CA sounds like a really fascinating place. (Via)


• This is the way bad Syfy movies start: scientists in Florida have lost an underwater robot. It's gone rogue! (Via)


• Speaking of bad Syfy movies, a while back I mentioned the horrific Syfy movie Mega Shark Versus Giant Octopus. I made the mistake of trying to watch the entire movie, but lucky for you there now exists a "good parts" version on YouTube. This way you can just see the funnest and most ridiculous scenes without having to sit through the entire thing. You lucky bastard. (Via)


• It doesn't matter what you said, Freddie Mercury is right. (Via Camden)


• See the world like it's an FPS. (Via)


• A promo for the fast-approaching second season of Dollhouse (via). Speaking of Dollhouse, some weird news: Amazon has stopped selling the season one DVD set "because customers have told us there may be something wrong with our inventory of the item, the way we are shipping it, or the way it's described here." (UPDATE: The DVD is now back on sale.)


• Wired made its own custom, incredibly geeky kegerator, dubbed Beer Robot.


• Scientists are using Google's PageRank algorithm to predict ecological collapse by ranking species by their importance.


• You can now buy fans and friends on Facebook.


• Here's an insane and brilliant idea for a company: Eternal Earth-Bound Pets, USA is staffed by atheists who promise to take care of the pets of Christians after they're assumed into heaven during the Rapture. (Via)


• Columbia has restored 22 classic films noir. Cool!


• Pics from the set of Green Hornet. (Via)


• Interesting: J.J. Abrams had to throw his long-term plans for Fringe out the window and move up his time table because the fans were already figuring out where the story was going. (Via)


• Sounds like those Redbox kiosks could really be hurting other movie rental services.


• Favstar integrates with Twitter and provides an interesting, in-depth look at people's favorite tweets. (Via)


• In case you didn't know, you can stream the original Prisoner online for free at AMCTV.com. (Via)


• The bizarre and disturbing anatomy of a Wii Remote (I refuse to call them Wiimotes).


• More custom LEGO models: Metroid, light cycles, and a hover car.


• Some great street art and fascinating photography.


• Sounds like the next Rambo will be about Rambo hunting super soldiers. Nice. (Via)


• The top 10 worst Bible passages. Yep, those are pretty bad! (Via)


• Worth1000 has taken up the Disney/Marvel mashup torch. Some of these are quite good. I particularly like the Snow White Hulk, Mr. Incredible as Captain America, and Buzz Lightyear as Iron Man. (Via)


• Ooh, the other Super Star Wars games are out for the Virtual Console, and one of the new WiiWare titles is Contra ReBirth. Tempting...


• PAX was this weekend. Joystiq got to check out the clever explicit language settings for Brutal Legend, learned about a Penny Arcade ping pong card game that's in development, and discovered the identities of more playable characters in Marvel Ultimate Alliance 2.


• Joystiq gives The Beatles: Rock Band a very positive review.


• More on Diablo III!


• The guy who did that cool next gen Xbox concept art now unleashes his creativity on the next PlayStation.


• That is one snazzy FarmVille farm. I'd like to expand mine, but can't figure out how to get more of those FarmVille bucks.


• Cute, sleepy bunny! Cute piggie and doggie!
