• Dude, my friends wrote a book! You can buy it! You should buy it. Buy it now!


• One of my favorite of the recent posts on Reproductive Ryan Gosling. My very own poppy is a co-founder and contributor!


• Awww, look at the tiny Avengers! So tiny!


• A little goat! Hopping! On a bed!


• I love Marion, and I love Raiders of the Lost Ark, but... yeah. Baskets. *facepalm*


• Female Holmes and Watson.


• Blue And Bluer celebrates one of the great film classics, Grosse Pointe Blank.


• Some Game of Thrones humor.


• A little Daily Show for you.


• Heh. Poor Michelle.


• SANDWICH POLICE. That is all.


• Now here's something you can base a system of government on!


• Can't remember if I posted this before, but it's worth a repost if I didn't: Elmo and Grover as Street Fighters.


• An old script for an episode of the original Star Trek that was never filmed is going to get turned into a webisode by the New Voyages crew. Nice!


• There are birthday cake Oreos? Where can I get them?!


• Oh hey, it's that time of year again! March M.O.D.O.K. Madness!


• I kind of want this bird nest bed.


• Some pics from, and a new trailer for, Men in Black 3. I want to like this, because the original Men in Black is such a great movie, but... I just don't know.


• Another movie I want to like is John Carter. You can watch ten minutes of it right here. I was hoping to be really impressed by this, but despite some clever moments (and an inspired choice of when to cut short the clip), I could take or leave this movie.


• Some really cool props from Captain America, Iron Man, and Thor are up for auction.


• Cool Star Wars crayons.


• Cute Saruman figurine. All right, maybe cute isn't the right word, but whatever, I like it, is the point.


• Wow. Mike Mignola did a book cover for Heart of Darkness. Two great tastes that taste great together!


• I've mostly soured on the whole Simpson-izing thing, but these Simpsons versions of Scooby and Shaggy are fun.


• Look out! Tiger Batman!

• 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.

• Oh man, I'm not going to have to subscribe to yet another art jam blog, am I? Bristolwhip's current theme is tattoos, and this piece by Jemma Salume is amazing.


• Dan Hipp imagines a Dirty Harry vs. zombies movie. Check out the impressive cast and credits at the bottom of the poster!


• Finally, an ad featuring actual clips from Steven Spielberg's Terra Nova. Looks like Jurassic Park crossed with Avatar.


• io9 takes a look at public domain superheroes, including Thor. All these are fair game as subjects of your next comic book/novel/poem, so have at it!


• A nice big poster showing off the large alien cast of Green Lantern.


• Awesome new clip from Thor featuring Thor's allies fighting Destroyer, plus the Japanese trailer, which has even more exciting new footage.


• Science creeps slowly closer to being able to erase memories.


• Big Boi is collaborating with Modest Mouse on their new album?! That's an interesting combination.


• I haven't watched Aqua Teen Hunger Force in a long time, but I used to really enjoy the show. Now comes the news that the show is changing its title, its setting, its premise, and its theme song! Maybe. Sort of. Just click through and listen to the meat puppet. Oh, and guess who did the new theme song? Josh Homme of Queens of the Stone Age!


• Somebody dressed up a broken urinal as Darth Vader. Man, I love street art.


• I've seen this link a number of places now, and it really is interesting, so I'm just going to break down and post it: "Overthinking Star Wars: The Economics of Death Star Planet Destruction." (Via)

• Some amusing Lois Lane comics by Kate Beaton.


• Tons of high res photos from Thor, including various behind-the-scenes pics. Speaking of Thor, here's a fun ad for the movie that's a parody of that cute commercial with the little kid dressed as Darth Vader from a while back.


• io9 picks out 19 must-watch summer TV shows.


• Pixar/John Carter of Mars mashup art. Not something I was expecting to see when I got up this morning.


• I'm just going to copy down the headline here: "Chinese 3-D porn has bigger opening than Avatar."


• Officially licensed jacket exactly like the one Luke Skywalker wore when collecting his medal at the end of A New Hope - it even comes with the medal!


• Wow. Another Earth looks intense. Watch the trailer.


• Mynock Hunt! (Via)


• Alt Text at Wired throws its support behind a handful of the weirder projects on Kickstarter.

• Game of Thrones family sigil desktop wallpapers!! Awesome. It's too bad that I hate all the Greyjoys (especially Theon, whose chapters I can barely read, he's such a complete dick), because their sigil and words are so excellent.


• Dan Hipp has been at it again, posting all kinds of amazing illustrations on his blog, including a Predator fighting a Wookiee, a poster for The Wolverine lamenting the film that could have been, and a truly fantastic Tintin/Alien mashup image.


• Check out the teaser for Daniel Radcliffe's next film, a period ghost story called The Woman in Black.


• The next Superman movie has its General Zod.


• Famous sci-fi scenes recreated with a cast of peeps.


• I was going to post links to all the coolest recent additions to Reelizer, but there are too many. Just go there and look around yourself.


• A great Beetlejuice illustration.


• The second item here purports to reveal the truth behind Olive Garden's claims that it sends its chefs to Italy to learn real Italian cooking. Unsubstantiated, obviously, but certainly seems believable.


• A selection of neat nesting dolls from a recent art show.


• You're stuck on an important video conference call with the Romulan ambassador, but you desperately need to go to the bathroom. What do you do? As usual, Riker has the solution. (Via)


• The first trailer for Lars von Trier's Melancholia (which is slightly NSFW, due to brief, distant nudity). It's technically a sci-fi film, as there's an important plot element involving a mysterious planet suddenly appearing and heading for Earth, but it seems to be much more about relationships and people being really emotional. Looks intense.


• A trailer for the new Mortal Kombat web series, based on that video that went viral a while back. Sadly the trailer is nowhere near as cool and exciting as the original video was. It's just a rather clumsy fight scene.


• Looks like Arnold Schwarzenegger's getting back into movies in a big way.


• Some very nice Thor art on this blog. (Via)

• A nice piece of Super Mario Bros.-themed art featured on Drawn.


• Hey, GRRM and Paris finally got married! Also, another new behind-the-scenes video from HBO's "Making Game of Thrones" blog. This one is sort of a travelogue of Westeros, giving us a quick sketch of each of the various different realms. Pretty exciting!


• GeekDad provides a visual roundup of the action figures and statues at the recent 2011 Toy Fair.


• A sign that fails to be reassuring.


• Slave Leia will always be an icon of the geek world. Here's Jessica Rabbit in the slave Leia costume, and an otherwise rather dumb and unimaginative music video that features Alessandra Torressani dressed as slave Leia.


• The fantasy world map.


• A lot of the trailers I've seen so far for Thor have not impressed me, but this one did.


• Steve Kloves, who co-wrote all of the Harry Potter films, has been hired to help polish the script for Akira.


• Here's a cool project: making figures along the line of the old MUSCLE toys. I used to love those things. (Via)


• Super Punch showcases some great art pieces by Tom Fowler.


• Robocop is not done his good work in Detroit! Francesco Francavilla is auctioning off an illustration of the fellow to help feed the city. (Via)


• Hey. Cool bat.


• The Darkest of the Hillside Thickets' brilliant concept album, Spaceship Zero, has been out for a while, but they just finally got around to putting together a snazzy video for "20 Minutes of Oxygen," one of the excellent (if deeply depressing) tracks from the record.


• A new Toy Story short will premiere in front of the new Muppets movie. This is apparently a different short from the one about Barbie and Ken going on vacation.


• GeekDad looks back on 25 years of Zelda. The original Legend of Zelda is still one of the best video games of all time.

• A lovely illustration.


• Evan Shaner demands that you OBEY GRODD!


• Another fine Star Wars illustration from Mister Hipp.


• That art jam blog I like so much recently took on Ghostbusters with some wonderful results.


• Some very nice Battlestar Galactica puppets are up for sale on eBay. C'mon, you know you had that Battlestar Galactica puppet show all planned out in your head and were only waiting for this moment to realize it.


• If you are a fan of both the Phoenix Suns and Star Wars, then today's TeeFury offering is for you. (Via)


• Cinematical has some quick news bites: Nathan Fillion will voice Hal Jordan in the animated film Green Lantern: Emerald Knights. Also, there's going to be a How to Train Your Dragon 2 about Hiccup becoming the leader of his Viking clan. Poppy and I watched the original How to Train Your Dragon a little while ago, and although it was very predictable, it was also entertaining and surprisingly moving.


• Heh. This Wicked Witch of the East doorstop is pretty clever.


• Watch a creepy trailer for a movie called Frankenstein's Army, which is set near the end of WWII, and features Hitler using Victor Frankenstein's notes to replenish his dwindling troops in just the way you might expect.


• Speaking of trailers, Cinematical has the trailers for Thor and Captain America running back to back here. The Cap trailer is looking good! I'm excited.


• The other day I posted an unofficial, bootleg sort of video of Galactus in Marvel vs. Capcom 3, so I thought I should follow up with the official video, which is no less terrifying. (Via)


• Behold the genius of the Keep Calm and Carry On poster generator. (Via Amy)

IMPORTANT LATE ADDITIONS:

• No nudity, but probably NSFW all the same, Harry Potter-themed pole dance video. (What? I'm human, aren't I?)


• Hamster-powered mecha.

• Hey, did you know author China Miéville (whose work I should really get around to reading one of these days) has a web comic? It's pretty fantastic so far. Eerie, atmospheric, and foreboding.


• Evan Shaner draws cool stuff!


• Some amusing sketches of the dreaded Jar Jar by Ramón Pérez.


• Samuel L. Jackson mentioned in a talk show interview that he'll be playing Nick Fury in Thor and Captain America, and that he will be accompanied by a female sidekick. io9 has a list of the actresses supposedly auditioning for the part, and is also taking a stab at guessing who the character might be.


• io9 presents a thorough rundown of every new sci-fi/fantasy TV show that could be coming this fall.


• Bill Shatner's doing a metal album. I'd listen to that.


• The promising but rarely updated Picture Book Report is coming to a premature end. Sad face.


• Video of soap bubbles freezing in mid-air.


• In case you haven't seen Volkswagen's fantastic, ridiculously cute, Star Wars-themed Super Bowl ad yet, you can watch it here.


• Blastr points out a very young Elijah Wood in a small but pivotal early role in Back to the Future II.


• A collection of some of the most recent new photos from the Captain America movie.


• Batman vs. Galactus. My money's on Batman.


• Super Punch presents a huge collection of Valentine's Day-related items, including many downloadable/purchasable valentines.

• Check out these golden snub-nosed monkeys. They are totally cute, yo.


• Here's a trailer for a movie called Rubber, which is about a sentient tire that kills people. I couldn't quite fit this one into my Philly Film Fest schedule; I'm regretting that now.


• Thor versus Jaws! Awesome.


• Can't say I'm too thrilled by this first image from the movie version of X-Men: First Class. But I will withhold judgment for now. (Angel's a woman now? With the what?)


• A large gallery of concept art for the animated "Tale of the Three Brothers" sequence from Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 1.


• A Katamari Damacy-inspired episode of Laugh-Out-Loud Cats.


• The crew of the Enterprise tests experimental acid drive technology.


• Mattel is putting out a set of Hot Wheels called Video Racers with built-in point-of-view digital video cameras. You can play back the video on a small screen on the bottom of the car, and/or copy it to your computer via USB. Crazy!


• Mario versus Guile.


• George Lucas told Seth Rogen he sincerely believes the world is going to end in 2012. Rogen naturally concluded Lucas must have a spaceship ready to take him off Earth when the time comes.


• Here's an interesting list: the 5 best and the 5 worst Sundance purchases. In this context, "best" and "worst" are referring to the sale price compared to the eventual box office take. The fact that Son of Rambow is on the "worst" list makes me sad. I really liked that movie!


• Entertainment Tonight got some revealing footage from the set of Sherlock Holmes 2, and also interviewed the film's stars. Be warned: the video starts automatically as soon as you get to the page.


• Here's a collection of some great postwar West German sci-fi magazine covers.


• You probably already heard about the awful flooding they've been dealing with in Australia, but did you hear they also have to worry about sharks swimming in the streets?!? Among other sightings, a couple bull sharks were spotted going by a McDonalds. That's messed up. (Via)


• Scandal! (Also, big Harry Potter spoiler alert.) They changed Snape's death scene in Deathly Hallows Part 2! But it's cool, don't freak out. They just changed the setting. And they got Jo's blessing. So it's all good. Whew.

• All Terrain Ice Cream Truck!


• A scientist is going to clone a mammoth! On the one hand: awesome!!! On the other hand: the movies have taught us that this is certain to go horribly awry so... hmm.


• Heh. Here's a fun X-Men family tree.


• A man in southern Georgia is using webcams, a bunch of shotguns, and remote controls to kill wild hogs over the internet.


• Remember that cool Mortal Kombat video that went around the internet a while back? Warner Premiere has green-lit a 10-episode web series based on it. Nice!


• So, that Alien prequel that's been in development forever is not happening after all, which is sad, but apparently Ridley Scott and Damon Lindelof are going to salvage what they can from the script and turn it into a different movie called Prometheus, still starring Noomi Rapace.


• A Wrinkle in Time reenacted in 90 seconds by a cast of mostly kids.


• Joseph Conrad co-wrote a sci-fi novel with Ford Madox Ford called The Inheritors. It's about people from the Fourth Dimension scheming to occupy the Earth. Who knew?? Anyway, you can download the whole thing for free right here. (Via)


• Ron Howard talked a bit about his Dark Tower project when he appeared on Howard Stern's radio show recently, providing a few more details about how the story would be split up between the movies and the miniseries, and also confirming that Viggo Mortensen and Javier Bardem are the frontrunners to play Roland. I'd love either of those actors in that part. I really hope they can actually pull this off somehow.


• More great posters have popped up on Reelizer.


• In a painfully appropriate twist, some Pakistani-produced candy bars called Toxic Waste Nuclear Sludge were recently found to contain more than twice the PPM (parts per million) of lead tolerated by the FDA.


• Hey, that Lord of the Rings/dollar bill mashup T-shirt that was up for vote on Threadless a while back made it through and is now purchasable! (Via)


• Some great pieces from a recent video game-themed art show.


• Science is cruel sometimes. Here's an old video of a couple of guys dropping cats in regular old 1G, then tossing them around in 0G.


• A LEGO version of the trap from Ghostbusters.


• A truly wonderful SNL digital short in which Pee-Wee Herman and Andy Samberg get wasted together.


• Cinematical has a couple of intriguing/amusing pics from Syfy's next opus, Mega Python vs. Gatoroid, which features the talents of both Debbi Gibson and Tiffany, not to mention a giant snake and a giant gator.


• Robert Downey Jr. is going to play everybody's favorite super-smart, talking, time-traveling dog in a DreamWorks animated film version of the Rocky and Bullwinkle short, Peabody and Sherman. How... odd. Seriously, who will even want to see this movie?


• Some cool new pics from Captain America and Thor.
