Man, it's been a while, huh? Let's fire up the old Recyclotron again for old time's sake and see what comes out.

—

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

• I really enjoyed this most recent entry on ANIMALS TALKING IN ALL CAPS. I had a feeling my friend Blue would have reblogged it, and indeed I was right.


• Speaking of Game of Thrones, here's a fun illustration of Sam Tarly. And here's more related pieces.


• Key guns! Awesome.


• Stupid but hilarious Lord of the Rings humor.


• A rather naughty outtake from an Empire Strikes Back publicity photo shoot.


• Amazing poster for Psycho.


• This is pretty much the best picture.


• Here's a great Tumblr where a dude is turning old Library of Congress photos into creepy and funny animated GIFs, borrowing a bit from Terry Gilliam's work from his Monty Python days.


• They're making a third episode in that series of Penny Arcade video games! Some day I should get around to trying the first two...


• Speaking of Penny Arcade, I have a feeling I will have a similar experience some day to the one Gabe is having in the latest comic.


• A great Alice in Wonderland/Star Wars mashup.

• 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!

• You can stream Sinead O'Connor's new album, How About I Be Me (And You Be You)? (which is a great title, btw), in its entirety on NPR. I'm not really too familiar with her work, but I enjoyed large portions of this one. Although the last track is crazy overdone and melodramatic. (Via)


• My blue-haired pal is a trusted source for important GIFs.


• A great piece celebrating the messy end of one of the major villains in Raiders of the Lost Ark.


• There's now a book of Donn Kenn's amazing post-it note monster art.


• This news piece about Abraham Lincoln's birthday includes some footage from the upcoming film Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter. (UPDATE: And here's the first official trailer. Pretty silly!)


• It's almost Valentines Day! Who cares! Nobody! Except, Comics Alliance is posting a series of gender-swapped Valentines! Yay!


• Pics of new LEGO sets! Lord of the Rings! Avengers! My poor credit card!


• They're doing a new Ringu film in 3D. That's terrifying!


• Some pretty great geeky custom hockey jerseys.


• Cool Super Mario sneaks.


• Amazingly gigantic Optimus Prime snow sculpture.


• Super Punch highlights some of the more interesting toys at the 2012 Toy Fair.


• Kevin J. Anderson will novelize Rush's new album. That's actually perfect! They're perfect for each other! Not a compliment!


• I'm sure you're already aware of the Ryan Gosling "Hey Girl" Tumblr meme. Here is one that fits my interests, via Sarah.

• Heh.


• My blues name is apparently Boney Bones Jones. That's pretty bad!


• Check out a featurette for Mirror Mirror, one of the various Snow White movies coming out soon. This is directed by Tarsem Singh, believe it or not. You wouldn't know from this video, except for all the crazy hats.


• Pretty cool redesign of Batman and the Batmobile.


• Fun illustration roundup.


• A 3D, animated poster for The Avengers.


• The surviving Pythons may reunite for a sci-fi farce directed by Terry Jones. It's called Absolutely Anything, and it's about a human being (Robin Williams) who's given absolute power by a group of aliens, just to see what a mess he'll make of everything.

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

• A couple of fun recent entries on Reelizer: a Monty Python and the Holy Grail poster called "Find the Grail" (which might be instructions as well as a title, but the image is too small to do a proper "Where's Waldo?"-style search), and a beautiful Blade Runner poster.


• Speaking of posters, here's a snazzy one for Raiders of the Lost Ark.


• Dawww. Totally cute Firefly image.


• Heh. A look at the inbox of the Witch-King of Angmar.


• I'm pretty sure I've linked to Hungover Owls here before, but the last couple entries have been golden, so here you go again.


• Awesome Captain America art from Mr. Hipp in honor of the 4th of July.


• BBC News lists 50 of the most hated office-speak phrases. This is from the UK so obviously some of these are a bit odd to American eyes, but a surprising number are painfully familiar. (Via S)


• Pretty stunning photos of people cosplaying as Lady Gaga for the recent "Lady Gaga Day" in the Taiwanese city of Taichung.


• You know I can't get through one of these without some Star Wars links, but this time I will try to keep them to one bullet point. Here's Leia as a Sith, Luke being super-emo (though to be fair he has good reason, as the image makes clear), and a potential T-shirt revealing Leia's reaction when she learned her true parentage.


• Patton Oswalt's rejected pitches for Batman comics are pretty amazing. I'd read those!


• Hipster Puppies is now a book!


• Realistic, disturbing reimaginings of Super Mario villains.


• Amazing convention sketches by David Aja.


• How about some Harry Potter links? Here's a cool (if slightly inaccurate) illustration of Harry protecting Sirius from the Dementors; an amusing T-shirt (via); and all the Harry Potter novels summarized as mostly-wordless, single-page comics.


• Fun Wolverine T-shirt done in the style of old cartoons.


• I hadn't heard of this book called Gods Behaving Badly - about the Greek Gods secretly alive and well in present day and disguised as normal human beings in New York City - but it sounds like fun. And now there's going to be a movie with a pretty amazing cast: Christopher Walken (Zeus), John Turturro (Hades), Sharon Stone (Aphrodite), Edie Falco (Artemis), Phylicia Rashad (Demeter), Nelsan Ellis (Dionysus), Gideon Glick (Eros), Henry Zebrowski (Hermes), Rosie Perez (Persephone).

• Here is a piece of art entitled "Fetchez la Vache." Perhaps you will recognize the reference.


• Impressive cameos carved into the cream on Oreos.


• That Guillermo del Toro/David Eick Hulk TV series that we all forgot about is still moving forward. Apparently they plan to do a different thing than the movies, and Marvel is okay with that. Hmmm...


• How to make a hedge maze area rug. I wouldn't mind one of those! I don't think I have the patience or talent to make it myself, though. Anybody? (Via)


• Listen to some electronic music by a guy who goes by the name Com Truise...


• ... and/or listen to the sound of a dial-up modem connecting slowed down 700%. Evocative!

• A deleted scene and a blooper reel from Fringe season 2.


• An intriguing excerpt from one of Guillermo Del Toro's vampire novels.


• RZA has cast Russell Crowe in The Man With The Iron Fist, a kung fu film he plans to direct with the help of producer Eli Roth later this year. Nice.


• 10 geeky web tricks with HTML5 and CSS3. The pure CSS animations aren't really great as animations, but considering they were made purely with CSS, they're freaking mind-blowing as far as I'm concerned.


• Marvel could have a live-action TV show in the works.


• Another new trailer for Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 1.


• A preview of the Tron comic that bridges the gap between the original movie and Tron Legacy. It's hard to get a feel for it from these few pages, especially given that the one page is reproduced so small that you can't read the text on it, but it could be interesting.


• A heavy metal version of Ocarina of Time's "Song of Storms." Awww yeah.


• Supposedly several airlines are considering using these incredibly cramped and uncomfortable-looking "chairs" in order to fit even more people onto their airplanes. Just another reason to avoid flying.


• The first single from Adam WarRock's upcoming album is pretty darn good.


• Terry Jones is going to direct John Oliver in Absolutely Anything, a silly movie about aliens, and he's hoping to get former Monty Python compatriots John Cleese, Eric Idle, Michael Palin, and Terry Gilliam to voice the aliens.


• I posted a preview of the trailer of The Tourist the other day, but here's the actual trailer. It gives away a bit more about the movie than I think it should, but it still looks like it might be a fun Hitchcockian thriller.


• A site where you can write every day. Could be useful. (Via Amy)

• Another fun clip from Red.


• I've mostly gotten tired of the endless top 10 lists on the web, but I rather enjoyed this list of the top 10 evil geeks in the movies.


• A couple of fun Captain Marvel illustrations.


• Rather amusing computer-animated short that tells the story of why Jabba put that price on Han Solo's head in the first place.


• Using SCIENCE to compare apples and oranges. It can be done!


• Andrew Garfield has been cast as Spider-Man in the reboot, and he is truly fucking honored. Meanwhile, Hilary Duff may be Gwen Stacy.


• Clint Eastwood says he was offered the role of Superman in his youth, but turned it down because it wasn't for him. Also, he reveals his favorite comic book character: The Sub-Mariner. Nice pick!


• Trailers! Here's a new one for Monsters. Looks like it could be fun. And here's a trailer for a completely different kind of sci-fi movie: Never Let Me Go. That one looks fascinating, and brutal.


• I already mentioned this on my Twitter, but it's so exciting I'm linking it again here: Ron Howard and his team are adapting Stephen King's amazing Dark Tower novels as a trilogy of movies and a TV series. It sounds crazy and new and awesome.


• Set pics from Captain America and X-Men: First Class. They feature, respectively, Cap and Emma Frost in costume. Exciting!


• Previous previews of the Tron Legacy soundtrack were apparently fake and unofficial, but this is apparently official and totally for real. (Via)


• A NSFW gallery of witch pin-ups. Enjoy!


• I posted a while back that Natalie Portman might save Alfonso Cuaron's Gravity, but apparently it was just a rumor. Bummer.


• Supposed Ghost Rider 2 plot details. For some reason I'm still hopeful this will be a good movie.


• Fun bear-, moose-, and jackalope-related art.


• Awesome bumper stickers for parents of gamer children. I will have to make sure Griff earns one or more of these.


• Martin Freeman, who plays Watson on BBC's Sherlock, might play Bilbo in The Hobbit. Assuming they ever really make that movie. Sigh.


• Bruce Campbell's concept for The Expendables of horror sounds kind of brilliant.


• Very cool surreal paintings.


• Cosplay! Gotta love it.


• Very cool poster for Moon.


• A Simpson-ized version of the Black Knight. Exceedingly geeky!

• In honor of Valentine's Day I present, above, the venerable "Crunchy Frog" sketch from Monty Python's Flying Circus. Enjoy those chocolate assortments, folks! And while we're talking about the holiday, check out some geek (via) and Mr. Freeze-themed Valentines.


• This Nic Cage as Everyone entry is particularly well done, and particularly appropriate: Nic Cage as Mola Ram!


• Trailer for an intriguing-looking YA fantasy movie called Lost for Words.


• A gallery of photos of the toys and games presented by Hasbro at the Toy Fair. I'm particularly amused by the Iron Man 2-themed version of Operation.


• Sounds like Fringe is in danger of being cancelled. There won't be any TV shows left that I look forward to watching regularly if that one goes.


• A video anthology of werewolf transformations. Slightly NSFW.


• There's going to be a third Riddick movie. I'm not sure how to feel about this news. I loved the first movie, and although the second one had a lot of problems, it did have some great ideas and a great ending. So I'll remain cautiously optimistic for now.


• Neil Marshall's got a new movie on the way called Centurion, about a small band of survivors of a brutal attack on a Roman legion trying to escape enemy territory and make their way home. Here's the trailer. Eh. Could be all right. Although I'm not a big fan of the Romans being the good guys. (Via)


• The latest Let's Be Friends Again takes my favorite page of Siege #2 and makes it even better. If only this could happen in real life.


• Mike Mignola was brought in for a week to lend a hand on pre-production designs for The Hobbit. Yay!


• Amusing stop-motion animated video made using T-shirts.


• A thorough examination of the Toy Story 3 trailer and all its Easter Eggs. Totoro has a cameo! (Via)


• The official website for The Wizarding World of Harry Potter is live. (Via)


• Heh. Concept art for an imaginary McDonalds-themed video game. (Via)


• Posters and other bits of art Photoshopped to give them a Star Trek theme. (Via)


• Leonardo Da Vinci, Agent of S.H.I.E.L.D. Yes, This is a real thing Marvel is doing. I'm vaguely interested. (Via)


• Images and video of a Cabinet of Dr. Caligari puppet show.


• A space cat riding a dinosaur. Now that's a T-shirt!
