• The Badass Scooby Gang go to the beach!


• Baby platypuses! Platypi? Platypeople?

• 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.

• Heh.

• 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!

• Daphne from Scooby-Doo. Helloooo nurse!


• Annie Wu draws Dr. Mrs. The Monarch.


• A typically wonderful rendition of Emma Frost by Dan Hipp.


• Chris Samnee slaps down an amazing sketch of Captain America on Comic Twart. You know what that means: Cap is this week's selection! Awesome. (Also check out Samnee's wonderful, old school-style sketch of Dr. Doom and Mr. Fantastic fighting.)


• Arnold's returning to the Terminator franchise. On the one hand, I wouldn't mind having him back for old time's sake. But on the other hand, how do you explain a robot aging? And what else are you going to bring to the table besides Arnold? If there's not a good screenplay and a good director, it doesn't matter much who's in it. I mean, just look at the last Terminator movie. Or, on second thought, don't look at it. It's terrible!


• io9 takes a look at "The unlikely graffiti of Chernobyl."


• A dude who writes Syfy original movies developed a new way to make ice cream.


• The first official, HD trailer for Tarsem Singh's Greek mythology epic, Immortals. Oh my God, it looks so good. I love Singh's other films, and was really looking forward to seeing what he could do with this material and a big budget. Looks like he knocked it out of the park. These are the thrilling, wildly imaginative visuals I've come to expect from this filmmaker. I can't wait to see the complete, final product.


• This io9 article led me to these two interesting pieces: Michael Chabon's appreciation of a wonderful little book I haven't read in ages, The Phantom Toolbooth; and an analysis of why Julie Taymor's Spider-Man: Turn Off the Dark failed.


• A couple of dudes were watching Game of Thrones, got into an argument over which of the characters was going to "win" (by which I guess they meant, take the throne and defeat all other challengers?), and it turned into a physical fight that ended with the police arresting one of them. Heh. That's silly, because clearly Jon and Dany are going to win, and I'll throw you through a window if you say anything different.


• The Beastie Boys are streaming their new album right here. You have to go and listen to it right now because it is fantastic.


• Hey, The Autumn Society is teaming up with Dreamworks Animation! Cool!


• I really enjoy the work of artist Katie Shanahan. Here's her version of Frank Miller's Robin.


• Fed up with toasters that don't give you even heating? Check out this round model!


• Water-ski alone with this skier-controlled tow boat. You know, if you're insane.


• A remote-controlled superhero.


• Oh, lord. A post-apocalyptic Zorro movie is on the way.


• Warner Bros. just added $9 million to the effects budget of Green Lantern, apparently as a last minute attempt to make sure the movie lives up to everyone's constantly rising expectations. I can't say this makes me feel particularly optimistic about this movie. You're trying to fix it by piling more effects on top? Yeah, that always works.


• In case you haven't seen it yet, here's the first official picture from the set of The Avengers, which started production the other day. Woo!


• Replacing the dialog in various scenes from Star Wars with depressing, existential French philosophy is surprisingly hilarious.


• Super Punch presents an illustration roundup and an image roundup.


• I posted these to Twitter the other day, but here they are again because they're awesome: cover art for a new limited series from Marvel called Red Skull.


• I love that we're bringing back the old William Castle theatrics and actually installing movie theater seats that shake you around for Super 8. Of course, they're probably doing this because they're desperate and feel they have to pull out all the stops anymore to get you away from your TV, your computer, and your smart phone and into the movie theater. But still.


• "Bacon-Fat Keyboard Lets Real Birds Tweet." It's about time!


• The art of Dushan Milic.

• 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)

• The latest Comics Alliance link roundup includes a video where Mike Mignola tells stories about his career, and this link listing five made up sci-fi children's books.


• Farel Dalrymple draws Batman, and Dan Hipp draws Inception and the Justice League!


• So J.J. Abrams is doing another TV series about time traveling and a mysterious island starring Jorge Garcia. Sigh. It's called Alcatraz, and Sam Neill just joined the cast.


• Cool shirt on Threadless: Technicolour Rex. (Via)


• Apparently there is a brand of rum called Kraken? Anyway, the company has some cool accessories for sale on its online store. Although oddly, no rum. (Via)


• Evan Shaner draws Velma! Clearly I need to subscribe to his blog. (Via)


• In case you somehow missed hearing about this somewhere else, Gawker got itself hacked. If you have a commenting profile on one of its sites, you probably want to go in and change your password.


• A new trailer for Thor is online. It has good bits and bad bits. Most of the bad bits happen when people say things. Which doesn't bode well, as I imagine there will be a good deal of talking in the movie. I'm still hoping it will somehow be an entertaining film, however.


• Gwyneth Paltrow says Pepper Potts will not appear in The Avengers. Can't quite work out whether I'm sad about that or not.


• The Ultimate New Frontier Collector's Set is up for bid on eBay. And hey, Christmas is coming up soon now! Hint hint. (Via)


• This is a clever idea: The Boardgame Remix Kit. Interesting new rules for those old family boardgames everybody already owns. (Via)


• Dinosaur versions of various superheroes.
