- Above, Cookie Monster performs metal. (Via Tom)
- Hayao Miyazaki says if Studio Ghibli's upcoming film, Arietty the Borrower, doesn't do well at the box office, the studio may have to be shut down. I can't tell you how sad that makes me. Especially since Miyazaki says if they do have some box office successes, he'd make a sequel to Porco Rosso set during the Spanish Civil War, and I need to see that movie. Everybody go see Arietty the Borrower when it comes out, for God's sake!!! (Via Camden)
- Speaking of Miyazaki, you can watch his Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind online for free. And you should! I also highly recommend the manga. (Via)
- Yeah, I gotta admit, this new Cee-Lo track that's going around is pretty fantastic. FYI, the lyrics are NSFW, and since the video linked here is just the lyrics printed on the screen, it's pretty much NSFW all the way around. (Via Amy)
- A creative use for old ink cartridges.
- Alternate universe movie posters. As in, movies from alternate universes, not movies set in alternate universes. I so wish I could see The Gunslinger starring Clint Eastwood, Ricky Shroder, and Jack Nicholson. Also, Leonardo DiCaprio as Kid Kthulu? Bruce Lee as Neo? Brilliant.
- Sufjan Stevens put out a new EP that you can download for $5, or stream for free. I'm listening now! Can't say I'm all that impressed so far, but I'm still making my way through the first track, which is almost 12 minutes long. Good old Sufjan. (Via)
- Paramount is giving a live-action Ninja Turtles movie another go for some reason. They didn't so much like the first draft of the screenplay, however, so they're getting another draft from the guys who did second draft work on Iron Man.
- An amusing Lord of the Rings-themed sketch.
- Everybody knows what a No. 2 pencil looks like, but what about all the other No. pencils? Here's a handy graphic.
- Pretty cool ad for Metroid: Other M. Although, considering that I can't find the time or the energy to play the Metroid games I already own, I probably won't be getting this one.
- Rumor has it that Shia LaBeouf says a fifth Indiana Jones film is already being written, and that the concept for it sounds "crazy" and "really cool" to him. Uh huh. Don't count your fridges before they're nuked!
- Bryan Singer revealed some details about the upcoming X-Men: First Class movie. It'll be set in the '60s, so the mutants' struggle can be easily compared with the civil rights movement; the costumes will be comic bookish; the Hellfire Club will be the villains, with Kevin Bacon as Sebastian Shaw (!!!); other characters featured: Emma Smith, Azazel, Moira McTaggert, Beast, Darwin, Raven Darkholme, Banshee, Havok, Mystique, Charles Xavier, and a female version of Angel. Say what? Well... okay then.
- An early review of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 1. The reviewer is generally positive, and one of his only problems with the movie is a complaint he had with the book, as well, and seeing as how I had almost no complaints with the book, I'm okay with that.

| On the Viewer - Recently Seen Film Roundup |
 by Fëanor |
Holes - I don't know if it's because I'm a big softy anymore, or because I was blinded by my fond memories of the young adult novel that this film is based on, or because it actually is a good film, but I really enjoyed Holes, and found it to be very moving. It's the story of a young boy sent to a brutal work camp for a crime he didn't commit. That story is interwoven with two other stories out of his family's past which turn out to have essential connections to people and events in his present. Ultimately it's a story of redemption, and the way everything ends up coming together is really powerful. It's a funny, clever, poignant film with a surprisingly great cast which includes Sigourney Weaver, Jon Voight, Tim Blake Nelson, Henry Winkler, Dule Hill, and Shia LaBeouf (whom I still like, despite the fact that he was in the Transformers movies and Indiana Jones and the Crystal Skull). It's hard to call it a kids' movie, though. I mean, the story set in the Old West that revolves around Hill's character is incredibly dark.
Toy Story 3 - The Toy Story films are probably Pixar's greatest achievement in a long line of great achievements. If you think they're just kids' movies about talking toys, you are woefully mistaken. Toy Story 2, I feel, is about becoming aware of the inevitability of death - or at least, the inevitability of change and loss. In Toy Story 3, that change and loss - that death - cannot be put off any longer, and we must finally stare it in the face and come to grips with it. The film is incredibly effective and moving, especially to a new parent like myself. It's about a child growing up and learning to leave childish things behind. But it's also about a parent learning how to let a child grow up. It's about knowing when and how to stick together, and when and how to let people go. And besides all that, it's also incredibly entertaining, clever, imaginative, fun, and funny, and in the middle it turns into a classic, perfectly executed jailbreak thriller. It's an amazing cinematic achievement. But I warn you - have tissues handy. The scene in the garbage dump, where they're staring the end in the face, and they all join hands? Oh my God!!! The weeping! Anyway, I assume they will eventually release a Toy Story trilogy DVD set, and when they do, I'm going to have to pick that up and introduce Griffin to these films.
Ratatouille - Speaking of Pixar, I missed a lot of their movies! Seeing this one was my first step toward catching up. I almost didn't finish it, though. I watched the first ten minutes or so and I got bored and turned it off. I just couldn't connect with it. I didn't care about a rat who could cook. I think part of my problem, oddly enough, is that I was having trouble suspending my disbelief. Usually at the opening of a movie, I have almost no problem with that; I'm willing to accept nearly any crazy premise you want to feed me, as long as the rest of the movie follows logically from that premise. But for whatever reason I had a hard time accepting a world where rats can not only cook, but also read, and understand human speech. Oh, and they can also talk to each other just like we do, we just can't understand them. I know it's ridiculous for me to rebel at something like that considering all the other insane things I'm willing to believe, but what can I say? I'm fickle. Anyway, I eventually turned the movie back on and watched the rest of it, and it ended up winning me over. I continued to have issues with suspension of disbelief, especially during the sequence [SPOILERS AHEAD!] where the rats take over the working of the kitchen entirely, and the sequence where the famous food critic accepts that his delicious meal was cooked by a rat. But by that time I cared about the characters, I'd bought into the story, and I was willing to let things slide. Plus, c'mon, the scene with the health inspector is hilarious. Ultimately, it's a really sweet story with a rather wonderful moral: not everyone is an artist, but great artists can come from anywhere. I was particularly moved by the scene in which Anton Ego (who's a wonderful character with a great name and a perfect voice - thank you, Peter O'Toole) eats the ratatouille and is instantly transported back to his childhood. It's a wordless sequence that captures perfectly what's so comforting about comfort food, and how deeply someone can be affected by great food - and, by extension, great art. This is not one of Pixar's great works, but it's definitely a fun and lovable film.
Ponyo - I haven't caught up with Pixar yet, but now that I've seen this movie, I've caught up with Hayao Miyazaki. I've seen all his feature length films, and although there are a few I didn't love, there isn't one that I disliked. This latest work is another masterpiece - a simple, weird, beautiful, gentle film which is Miyazaki's take on "The Little Mermaid." It's about how a child's love is so blind and pure, it can save the world. It's also about how ham is delicious. It's a ridiculously cute film, with riotously colorful, insanely imaginative, jaw-droppingly epic visuals. The story is simple, yet also deep. Miyazaki's usual plea for humanity to treat nature with care is delivered with more subtlety than he's used in the past. He introduces us to the characters and their relationships and tells us their stories with careful mastery, using a minimum of words and backstory. We see a mother looking up at her child out of one eye, and in that glance are a thousand words - none of which need to be said aloud, and so they are not. As with many Miyazaki films, Ponyo is pretty much devoid of villains. The "evil wizard" turns out to be more frustrated and misguided than evil, and even the cranky old lady has a good heart. Nobody can paint shades of gray more beautifully than Miyazaki. |

- Gotta love this "Gundam Calling" T-shirt.
- Like only a few other people on Earth, I did not watch the Lost finale last night. In fact, I gave up on the show years ago when they killed off a great character for no other reason than that the plot demanded it. But I always thought if it sounded like the finale really pulled everything together, I might go back and watch the whole series. This analysis of the finale (which contains many spoilers, btw) has me pretty much convinced it's not worth it. I'm seeing other, far more positive responses to the finale from friends and various other commentators, and there's really no way to know how I'd feel about it without watching it myself. But it sounds like just the kind of ending I'd hate.
- This map of the TARDIS is really quite fantastic.
- That artist I really like did some preparatory illustrations for a Green Lantern Elseworlds story that never went anywhere. They're pretty fantastic, naturally.
- I think we're all getting a little tired of Three Wolf Moon shirt parodies, but this Three Ewok Deathstar shirt is quite wonderful.
- A fascinating photo of the surprisingly manual process they used to use for filming the opening crawl of Star Wars movies.
- If Rembrandt painted modern advertising.
- Spirited Away in LEGO, plus a general LEGO roundup.
- Edvard Much's The Scream, now featuring Cyclops of the X-Men.
- Orlando Bloom seems like a natural choice for Paul W. S. Anderson's The Three Musketeers, but I'm rather surprised he's signed on to play the villain, the Duke of Buckingham.

- An amusing, Lovecraftian episode of Dork Tower.
- Famous fantasy illustrator Frank Frazetta recently died. Here's a pretty fantastic tribute.
- This incredibly cool new trailer for Inception actually explains what the movie is about (via). And here's a gallery of screencaps from the trailer, to examine at your leisure.
- More amazingly inventive art from Enrique Alcatena.
- Looks like we have a plot synopsis for the next Riddick movie. But it sounds suspiciously like a mashup of the plots of the first two movies.
- A new Judge Dredd movie is on the way, and naturally it will be in 3D.
- Awesome image of the Creature from the Black Lagoon rocking out.
- Great shirts recasting literary heroes as members of sports teams. And while we're talking cool shirts, here are more funny and clever designs from Threadless.
- Another cool LEGO CubeDude: Boba Fett.
- Heh. Pretty clever sleeping bag design.
- Amusing Pac-Man propaganda poster.
- Cool Alice in Wonderland and Totoro fan art. (Via)
- I would love to have one of these. I'd constantly give it to people, immediately snatch it away, then say, "Again we see there is nothing you can possess which I cannot take away." Then I'd hold it up and laugh maniacally. (Via)
- Dude, you can play Space Paranoids online!! It's pretty hard. Also note that it doesn't seem to work in Chrome, which I think is lame; I had to play it in IE. Still, fun. (Via)
- Check out the A to Z of Wolverine. Surprisingly excellent. (Via)

- io9 interviews M. Night Shyamalan about The Last Airbender. He admits balancing the humor with the edginess was hard. He says his kids forced him to put Momo in the movie, but that he also had no choice but to cut a lot of other things, including the cabbage salesman (sadness!). He's determined to do three movies. It sounds like in one of those later films he might actually reveal what happens to Zuko's mom, which was one of the few loose ends left untied in the series. He also talks about Miyazaki being a huge influence, which is encouraging. I remain cautiously optimistic about these movies.
- Christopher Walken as M.O.D.O.K.
- A milk jug that knows when the milk has gone bad.
- Stephen Dorff has joined the cast of War of the Gods as Stavros, "a master thief who joins Theseus on his quest to help free Greece from the dark threat of the Titans."
- You've gotta love the fake company websites they make for big movies these days. Check out the site for Stark Expo 2010 (for Iron Man 2, via), and the site for Encom International (for Tron Legacy).
- The first trailer for Metroid: Other M focused on the story and the melodrama, and it sucked; this new trailer focuses on the action and the gameplay and it's much, much better. In fact, this game looks awesome.
- I love this Disney/Magritte mashup T-shirt.
- Lots of impressive work from the Society of Illustrators 2010 Student Scholarship competition.
- A fan made a brilliant, thrilling, action-packed trailer for the original Tron.
- Speaking of fan-made trailers, here's one for an imaginary Battlestar Galactica spin-off called The Twelve Colonies, set during the first big war with the Cylons.
- I hate umbrellas, but even I might go out of my way to purchase one if it had a broadsword handle.
- Sony BMG took down Beyonce's official YouTube channel for copyright infringement. Hahahahahaha!

- Good lord. They're going to remake the horrible MST3K Sasquatch film The Legend of Boggy Creek.
- Sounds like Bryan Singer directing X-Men: First Class isn't a done deal after all.
- Olivia Munn's original cameo in Iron Man 2 ended up being a bit too lighthearted for the film's dark tone, so they cut it out, made her an entirely different character, and shot all new scenes with her. Still no word on who she's playing, though.
- NBC just announced a new show called Camelot which will be a contemporary retelling of the King Arthur legend, written by Torchwood's former showrunner.
- Nintendo's making a DS that has 3D! And you don't need glasses to see it! How that works I don't know, but it sounds cool.
- Guile is guilty of vandalism, and there's video proof!
- Chainable USB plugs!
- Cute Star Wars illustrations.
- Here's a trailer for Blue People: The Movie.
- Wow! Warner Bros. wouldn't let Louis Leterrier make Clash of the Titans until he wrote two other movies and promised them a trilogy! They really love the franchises there.
- A review of Red Steel 2. Joystiq says it's not really a hardcore FPS, and focuses really strongly on swordplay, which sounds good to me!
- Hamlet: The Video Game is on the way. Damn it, that was my idea!
- Pretty clever James Bond/Duck Hunt mashup T-shirt. (Via)
- Cool head-shaped sculpture/building in a forest, and excellent Princess Mononoke cosplay.
- Scream 4 is finally really moving forward, maybe, with Wes Craven, Kevin Williamson, and the major cast members all on board.
- A 3D Popeye movie??
- Another fun illustration for A Wrinkle in Time.
- Nice Street Fighter II tattoo!
- You may think a bouquet of red roses says love, but no! The true symbol of love is a bouquet of bacon.
- A sweet Batmobile limo and a cool list of the top five expanded universe Star Wars stories, which includes one of my favorite episodes of Clone Wars. (Via)
- Hey, nice art. (Via)

- Another great entry on Covered: Aaron Renier turns the cover of an issue of the Ewoks comic book into something more realistic, and culturally appropriate.
- Some pretty amazing submissions to March M.O.D.O.K. Madness.
- Rose McGowan has joined the cast of Conan as an evil half human, half witch. Which would seem to suggest she won't be in that Red Sonja movie after all. But you never know.
- A very amusing look at the dark dreams of a cute little kitty.
- The Bill Paxton pinball machine is complete, and it's a thing of beauty. Photo gallery here. (Via)
- This is pretty amazing. George R.R. Martin, in talking about a series of virtual cage match battles between fictional characters taking place on a website, decided to write a short short story about his own character, Jaime Lannister, going up against the Elder God Cthulhu. It's a fun little piece.
- Jay-Z and Jack White have recorded a song together! I must hear it! I must own it! (Via)
- Interesting details from M. Night Shyamalan about his live-action film adaptation of The Last Airbender. Huge bummer: King Bumi will not appear in the film. Kind of understandable, but still disappointing. I'm glad the guy's dedicated to doing multiple films, and that he seems to understand the nature and importance of the relationship between Aang and Appa. Also, looks like Shyamalan himself will appear in a later entry in the series as "a stinky cameo his family picked out for him." Hmm... Finally, this article mentions the question of whether the cabbage guy will appear in the movie, but doesn't reveal the answer! Tease!!
- Sigourney Weaver has joined the cast of Vamps as "the vampire Queen." Nice!
- The Hobbit starts shooting in June! Woo hoo!
- A 3D, computer-generated flyby of the surface of Mars created using data gathered from the Mars Orbiter. This is a great way to pick out where you want to set up your biodome when we move to Mars after the inevitable destruction of the Earth.
- The ISS takes a fond look at a great scene from an under-appreciated film.
- I know it's irrelevant, but this irrelephant graphic amused me.
- LEGO CubeDudes are always fun. Here's one of Kuato, that creepy dude from Total Recall.
- A great Killing Joke art piece, and Totoro cookies. (Via)

- Look up and check out the hot new Robin Hood trailer. This movie is really looking good. Max Von Sydow! Love that guy. Rise, and rise again! (Via)
- Warner Bros. has picked up a script treatment called Leonardo da Vinci and the Soldiers of Forever which "re-imagines [the artist] as a member of a secret society who falls headlong into a supernatural adventure that pits him against biblical demons in a story involving secret codes, lost civilizations, hidden fortresses and fallen angels." Dude. I'd watch that. As long as it's nothing like The Da Vinci Code.
- LEGO mosaic Totoro!!
- Cool posters for Aliens vs. Predator 2 and Tron Legacy.
- Fun LEGO version of a scene from Up.
- Dude, sweet! Hugo Weaving is going to be the Red Skull! This makes me feel loads better about the casting of Captain America.
- They're going to release an extended version of Avatar to theaters in late summer. Oh, come on! Just stop. You already made all the money in the world!
- Check out "The Video Game Bosses' Lament." It's funny, and nostalgic! I played a lot of those games.
- The producer of Metroid: Other M reveals which filmmakers inspired the game's style.
- Cool art involving castles, knights, and dragons.
- Man, I hate regular expressions. They're useful and powerful, but they're so confusing that I rarely take the time to try to figure out how to put one together that can help me. So this online tool for building them could really come in handy. (Via)
- Criminal Empire for Dummys sounds like it could be a fun crime drama. The cast includes Michael Clarke Duncan, Harvey Keitel, and Gary Oldman.
- So, they're making a live-action Smurfs movie starring Neil Patrick Harris as... somebody, Jonathan Winters as Papa Smurf, Katy Perry as Smurfette, and now Quentin Tarantino as Brainy Smurf. Umm... what? This is real? This is not a joke?
- UPDATE: They're gonna make a Dan Dare movie! And they want Sam Worthington to play Dare! Nice!

- Incredible coffee art featuring Kiki of Kiki's Delivery Service.
- Here is an amusing blog in which a guy screws with coloring book pages in horrifying ways. (Via)
- Chapter 2 of The Chronicles of Solomon Stone #2. Beware: it's very silly. (Via)
- The long in coming and really seemingly past its freshness date Magic: The Gathering movie could be set in contemporary times and not be quite as fantastical as one might have expected. Uh, seriously, why are they even bothering?
- And now, a Space Invaders movie. Sigh.
- Here's a video and some explanation of "Skinput," "a device that turns your body into a touchscreen by sensing movements in your skin and muscle." You can play games on your own body!
- A very creepy trailer for the supernatural thriller After.Life, starring Christina Ricci and Liam Neeson.
- Stephen Lang, the bad-ass military dude from Avatar, has been offered the role of the villain (Khalar Singh) in the new Conan movie.
- Three guys helped a blind guy beat The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time by writing down every single controller movement necessary to do so. He then had his computer read the move-by-move walkthrough back to him as he played. Insane!
- The Burger King Noah's Ark: two of every kind of patty on a bun, plus bacon and toppings. Huagh!
- Evil Dead as a 60-second claymation short.
- 37 blockbusters and the code names they were filmed under.
- The official synopsis of the Captain America film sounds encouragingly identical to an official synopsis of his comic book origin story.
- A couple of amazing pieces of Star Wars art, and another amazing piece of Alice in Wonderland art.
- Cool Lovecraftian sculptures.
- From the desk of Batman.
- These two recent Comics Alliance posts have something in common: hotness!
- Another good reason to go see Alice in Wonderland this weekend: the Tron Legacy trailer is playing in front of it!
- Whether you want it or not, Wolverine 2 is coming. It starts filming in January.
- Another period war epic starring Jet Li! It's called The Warlords, and here's a clip. The whole film is available to watch now on various On Demand platforms, and it's coming to theaters next month.
- Really cool fantasy-themed art.
