- Jemaine "Flight of the Concords" Clement has been cast as a villain in the next Men in Black movie. Good choice!
- Check out the trailer for ABC's superhero family show, No Ordinary Family. As io9 says, it looks like sort of a live-action Incredibles. Could be fun!
- More info and a promo image from Spielberg's upcoming time-traveling TV show, Terra Nova.
- A cute illustration of most of the Doctor's female companions.
- Terry Gilliam's The Man Who Killed Don Quixote will start filming this September, and it looks like Ewan McGregor has taken Johnny Depp's place in the movie.
- This is pretty clever - somebody used a bunch of footage from old, black and white sci-fi serials to reimagine The Empire Strikes Back as a 3D flick from the '50s.
- A handy sci-fi TV movie title generator!
- Super Sexy CPR is exactly what it says it is. Probably NSFW.
- Excellent Mike Mignola recreation of a famous cover of Detective Comics.
- A blog of amazing Dune illustrations. (Via)
- Sounds like Drew Barrymore might direct a Wizard of Oz sequel.
- Mark Hamill is directing a film adaptation of his own comic book series, The Dark Pearl.
- An early draft of the screenplay for The Empire Strikes Back has surfaced, and Crave Online has an interesting analysis of the rather large differences between this screenplay and the one that was finally filmed. (Via)
- Harry Potter is now the most successful cinematic franchise of all time.
- Megan Fox is out of Transformers 3! Now there's even less reason to see that movie.
- It's Thor! Thor is cool.
- Paul Greengrass is not directing Fantastic Voyage after all.
- MTV is making a Teen Wolf TV show. Aren't they over 20 years late on that?
- A proof-of-concept trailer for a samurai/ninja/sci-fi movie called The Cup of Tears is getting turned into a full-length feature film.
- A clip from the upcoming reimagining of Nikita. Interestingly, it looks sort of like a sequel to the original series - Nikita had gotten out, and now she's come back. Hmm...
- Tron Mr. Toast!
- Great illustration of Luke playing Connect Four with a Wampa.
- There are some fun tracks on the latest Wired Playlist, including Flaming Lips covering Pink Floyd.
- The writer and director of Field of Dreams will write the script for J.J. Abrams' upcoming heist flick. Intriguing!

| by Fëanor |
Shia Labeouf trashed Indiana Jones and the Crystal Skull and Transformers 2 in recent interviews. He does seem to understand what was wrong with Indy (he mentions "monkey-swinging," and yes, that was pretty much the moment when I said, "uh... what?"), but he completely misdiagnoses the problem with Transformers 2. No, the issue was not that you "lost a bit of the relationships." The issue was not that it became "just a bunch of robots fighting each other." If either of the Transformers movies had actually been "just a bunch of robots fighting each other," they would have been infinitely better, and infinitely more watchable. The problem with Transformers 2 is the relationships - namely, the horrible, horrible, two-dimensional characters and the horrible, horrible attempts at humor involving those characters.
UPDATE: Also, to claim that there is some essential difference between Transformers and Transformers 2 is ridiculous. They're the same movie. |

- Above, Amanda Palmer covers Nine Inch Nails' "Hurt" during her New Year's Eve show. (Via)
- Christopher Lee is awesome. He's putting out a heavy metal rock opera about Charlemagne. He's singing the role of Charlemagne. Check out some samples here. (Via)
- Nooooooooooooooo.com. Just go. You'll see. (Via)
- Just heard about this: ESPN is going to start a 3D TV network in June. By the way, you'll need a 3D-capable TV to watch it. Do they even make those yet?? If they do, I kind of want one, but poppy says no. (Via)
- It's impossible for me to know what's going on, because it's so weird and there's never any dialog in English, but man do I love this guy's work. It's mind-blowingly creative and surreal and beautiful.
- This appears to be a reimagining of Cobra Commander, and I love it.
- I've seen a couple of these before, but at least one is new to me, and they're all great, so: famous album covers in which all the people have been replaced with superheroes.
- New dates for The Hobbit: a 14-month production schedule will begin in June, and the plan is still for the first film to be released next year.
- Heh. Chewbacca Altoids T-shirt.
- More fun Masters of the Universe-inspired art. (Via this post on Super Punch, which includes an extra piece.)
- David Hockney's illustrations of Grimm's Fairy Tales. (Via)
- Optimus Prime/Darth Vader mashup. (Via)
- A rather impressive group sleeveface portrait. Also, it was via this post on Sleeveface that I learned about The Flaming Lips' Dark Side of the Moon track-for-track cover album, featuring Henry Rollins and Peaches. I'm very excited about it.
- I've often been frustrated by the limitations of Twitter's search feature, so Flocking.me sounds like a useful thing; it allows you to search only within your friends' tweets. (Via)
- Oh my God, this movie looks so ridiculous. It's called From Paris With Love, and it's about a bald John Travolta beating up terrorists. His own way. For America. (Via)
- Yesterday I posted a story about how the next James Bond movie would be delayed due to MGM's financial woes. But the word now is that not only is that not true, but that the movie will be directed by Sam Mendes. Interesting...
- Sean Penn is back on to play Larry in the Farrelly brothers' Three Stooges movie. So that's still going on. Huh.
- Nintendo's next portable gaming device will apparently have a motion sensor, and highly detailed graphics. Also, the next Wii Zelda game should be out by the end of the year.

Fëanor pours the entire internet into the Recyclotron, and only the best links come out the other end for you to enjoy.
- A glimpse of the new TARDIS interior.
- Various charts about space, spaceships, and monsters!
- Here's a fascinating study about how people with extreme opinions reinforce their opinions. Love the graphic.
- io9 picks some B-string monsters that deserve a turn in the limelight.
- Tons of pics and a new trailer for The Wolfman. WOW. This looks GREAT!
- Crazy pumpkins with steampunk and Twitter (via) themes.
- The rumor flying around the internet lately is that George Lucas is planning a brand new Star Wars trilogy that would be filmed in 3D and directed by folks like Steven Spielberg and Francis Ford Coppola. I feel like this might have come out of somebody misunderstanding Lucas' plans to re-release the original trilogy in 3D, but hey, you never know. Despite everything that happened with the prequels, I have to admit, I'd totally go see new Star Wars movies - especially if they were directed and/or written by someone other than Lucas.
- Video of a dude launching an anvil with gunpowder. Awesome.
- Here's a website all about a really big LEGO castle. (Via)
- Impressive stop-motion video of someone building a large papercraft model of Link.

- Pics from Trent Reznor's wedding. (Via)
- Stream entries from the European film archives for free. And legally, even. (Via)
- The worst and weirdest vampire merchandise. The baby doll is horrifying, but the glow-in-the-dark Blacula soap is kind of awesome. (Via)
- No more Dollhouse until December after tomorrow night (via). Lame! Although, it does make it easier for me to catch up... Anyway, Joss says not to worry.
- Portable ultrasound?! Wow! (Via)
- Amusing Queen album cover parody featuring monsters. (Via)
- Zombie SNES!
- The Windows 7 Whopper, with 7 beef patties (via). Yes, apparently this is a real thing. Good lord. While we're talking Windows 7, here's another amusing parody of that horrible Windows 7 party infomercial: Hosting Your Windows 7 Torrenting Party (via). I think my favorite part is the very last line of dialog. Other Windows 7 links include Wired's positive review of the OS and 7 things you should know about it from Gadget Lab. Also vaguely related: a look at those Microsoft retail stores. Turns out they're a lot like Apple's retail stores. That's just sad.
- Pretty impressive music video which autotunes quotes from various famous TV shows and movies to turn them into rhyming lyrics for a catchy techno track. (Via)
- Sounds like George R.R. Martin might get a cameo in the Game of Thrones pilot. (Via)
- A speed bump that raises or lowers depending on your speed.
- A first look at the rich kids' academy in Caprica.
- The Big Bang Theory will feature a cameo from a (possibly nude!) Katee Sackhoff! Man, I really am going to have to start watching that show at some point, aren't I?
- Looks like there might not be another Pirates movie after all. This does not upset me.
- What if there was a Twilight-ified version of The Creature from the Black Lagoon? It might look a little something like this. (Via)
- Awesome furniture!
- Another fun Where the Wild Things Are contest: customize the fur-covered edition.
- A bunch of fun downloadable masks.
- Vintage Masters of the Universe paintings.
- Weird links from Warren Ellis: humans are still evolving, scientists know how body part regeneration works now, and Balloon Boy's father wanted TV fame before the world ends in 2012. Well I'm glad staring the apocalypse in the face really put his priorities in order!
- Google is also making a search deal with Twitter.
- Flickr has Facebook-style people-tagging now.
- A new study shows that "iPhone users are three times more likely to Tweet or Facebook their sexual antics than BlackBerry users." Good to know.
- Set footage from the A-Team movie, and some small hints about the plot.
- Ralph Fiennes, William Hurt, Vanessa Redgrave, Jessica Chastain, and Gerard Butler will all star in a new movie version of Shakespeare's Coriolanus.
- Some intriguing bits of news from cast member Willem Dafoe about John Carter of Mars.
- Cool robot art.
- The theme to Ghostbusters recreated entirely by a dude multitracking himself doing all the singing and sounds. Brilliant and hilarious.
- A short film called The Wall based on A Song of Ice and Fire. (Via)
- A truly excellent Star Trek accessory. (Via)
- Dude, Trent Reznor did a Fringe promo (via)! It's a combo nearly as tasty as peanut butter and chocolate. Oh, and guess who else likes Fringe? Simon Pegg (via)!
- Tom Hardy and Charlize Theron (!) are both being considered for the lead role in the next Mad Max.
- Woah. LED eyelashes. (Via)
- Freaking awesome art, featuring Batman, Robin, Superman, and a Vogon. (Via)

- The best and weirdest costumes added to io9's Flickr set.
- The top ten robots for boys from sci-fi movies and TV shows. I'll have to remember these.
- Blue Screen of Death belt buckle.
- Cool custom toys: A Clockwork Orange Playmobil figure, steam locomotive Optimus Prime, and Roland Deschain of The Dark Tower action figure. (Via)
- Speaking of The Dark Tower, supposedly Damon Lindelof has decided he doesn't want to be involved in making it into a movie because he loves it too much and he doesn't want to screw it up. Huh. Now I kind of want him to do it. (Via)
- Cool SEGA lighters.

- The above video is violent and horrible and it totally cracked me up and made my day better. (Via)
- Hedgehog says, "Blaaaaah." I'm with you, hedgehog. I'm with you. (Via)
- A roundup of crazy Halloween costumes for kids and pets. (Via)
- What a rip-off! You can only buy 200 sandwiches with this coupon! (Via)
- Pretty cool Wolverine painting. (Via)
- Video of an amazing pop-up LEGO Zen temple. (Via)
- Woah! One of my favorite comic book artists, John Cassaday, is directing an episode of Dollhouse! Very cool. (Via)
- A big set of photos from the Alternative Press Expo. (Via)
- There's a bit of a buzz surrounding Barnes & Noble's new e-reader, Nook. Here's a chart comparing it with the Amazon Kindle 2 (which should be taken with a grain of salt, as the chart was put together by B&N). (Via)
- Pretty good zombie George Lucas costume. (Via)
- A poster for what could be the next children's book to get a perhaps-too-adult big screen adaptation. Don't worry, it's a joke. I think. (Via Duane)
- R2-D2's cameo in Transformers 2 (via). Speaking of everybody's favorite Astromech droid, check out this very nice fan-made R2-D2 hoodie.
- Hulu is showcasing a bunch of sci-fi and horror videos for Halloween. (Via)
- You've got to love this guy Andy's Dude-a-Day project. This time he takes on the Beatles. (Via)
- Scientists have developed the first artificial hand that has feeling. It works by connecting human nerve endings with tiny electronic sensors. (Via)
- I was loath to link to this list, as it includes a mention of the hated Starship Troopers, but the rest of the selections are good enough to warrant a reference. So behold! Sci-fi's 10 best second-in-commands. (Should that be seconds-in-command? Who knows?) (Via)
- Pretty excellent poster for Terminator 2.
- Alien cow abduction lamp.
- Over 40 (!!!) crazy sci-fi dream sequences.
- Remember that 3D-animated cartoon called ReBoot? It was a pretty clever and fun show, with a plot vaguely similar to Tron. Well, it looks like they're making a movie! Check out the teaser.
- ABC's going a little overboard with their promotion of V. Starting this Friday, "skywriters will create giant letter Vs multiple times a day above 26 well-known American landmarks."
- Cool new trailer for the Prisoner remake.
- Sounds like the rumors of De Niro and Jude Law showing up in Thor are probably just rumors. Sadness.
- The top five hunk of junk spaceships. Hmm. Not sure I'd classify the Borg cube as a hunk of junk, but still love the list.
- An "affordable" 3D copier! Put an object in and it will make a copy in plastic.
- Impressive cakes: Pac-Man and Darth Vader. I don't think I'd eat the Darth Vader one, though. Not appetizing at all.
- Robotic cheetah!!!
- Nikes made of junk.
- A short and stupidly funny clip from Star Wars with some new dialog added in.
- This interesting interview with director Richard Kelly about his upcoming film The Box made me want to see the movie more - and also less. Basing the main characters on his parents seems like a weird and pointless idea. But who knows, maybe it will work.
- Gigantic info dump on Epic Mickey. I don't have time to look at this, but thought somebody else might, so there you go. (Via)
- Hey, turns out Antarctica is really damn big. (Via)
- Norman Osborn hair spotted in the wild. (Via)
- Amusing book cover parody, and a great set of photos of weird and wonderful Eastern European book covers(via).
- NASA is testing its first new rocket in 30 years.
- Posters for Legion.
- The guy who's been running FlashForward - Marc Guggenheim - has been replaced with co-creator and executive producer David Goyer. It might be a meaningless change, but then again it might be a response to a dip in the ratings.
- Google could be launching a competitor to the iTunes Music Store soon.
- Looks like the script for that Crow remake is done and they're going to move forward with casting.
- Seven great horror movie themes (as in music).
- Cinematical is going to start highlighting good, bad, and ugly flicks that you can watch for free. A recent gem: Frogs!
- 42 essential third act twists (via) and, in the same vein, the 9 stupidest surprise endings (via).
- On another day, looking at the pizza taco might have made me hungry. Today, it makes me feel slightly ill. (Via)
- Nickelodeon has just purchased intellectual ownership rights to the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles and is planning a new animated TV series and film.
- Hilarious image list: the world of tomorrow if the internet disappeared today. (Via)
- Ha ha ha! Burn. (Via)
- Amusing bathroom graffiti. (Via)
- Bing will supposedly start searching Twitter and Facebook status messages soon. How will it get access to Facebook status messages?? That seems like a bit of an invasion of privacy, unless it will somehow link in to your Facebook account and only search your friends' updates?
- M.C. Escher disses Mick Jagger. Pretty awesome. (Via)
- Bacon jam!!!

Fëanor pours the entire internet into the Recyclotron, and only the best links come out the other end for you to enjoy.
- A graph to help you visualize the value of the billions of dollars getting thrown around these days. (Via Tom)
- Amazing light art.
- 20 awesomely hot slave Leia costumes. As the site points out, this is perhaps slightly NSFW.
- Uh... that doesn't look like a deer.
- An A-Z guide to zombies.
- The dangers of comma misuse. (Via)
- A dragon and a skeleton made entirely out of plastic kitchen utensils.
- Three Teen Wolf Moon T-shirt. Heh. (Via)
- TV's steamiest lesbian kisses. It's a slideshow! Yay! (Via)
- Thundercats, hoe! (Via)
- This is pretty interesting: a list of the median age of viewers for various TV shows, including Dollhouse. (Via)
- This is a long but fascinating video about a new desktop user interface which makes clever use of touch-sensitive technology. It's called 10/GUI. I'd love to try it! (Via)
- A new computer algorithm seems to confirm the hypothesis that Shakespeare's play The Reign of King Edward III was actually written in collaboration with Thomas Kyd. (Via)
- A leaked memo from Adelle DeWitt to her employees at the Rossum Corporation. (Via)
- The latest news about Game of Thrones. Bran has been cast and filming begins soon. Woo hoo! (Via)
- An amusing web comic. (Via)
- A very silly cat gets a drink in an unorthodox fashion. (Via Tien)
- Paintings of insects mutated by radioactive disasters. I had to stop looking at these because they were making me a little ill.
- A look at the Vatican's secret storehouse of space knowledge.
- There could be a movie coming based on Chris Carter's lesser known series, Millenium, with Lance Henriksen returning as Frank Black! Apparently Carter himself would not be involved. I think this is actually pretty exciting news! I enjoyed that show, but I've since lost faith in Carter as a writer. I think if somebody else talented took the creative reins, we might actually get a pretty decent film out of this.
- Some physicists are wondering if perhaps the Large Hadron Collider is being sabotaged from the future, to protect us from a potential calamity caused by observing the Higgs boson. WOAH.
- Fox is going to run all 13 episodes of this season of Dollhouse, but due to the continued poor ratings, the likelihood of a third season is low. Thus Joss promises to give us some closure in that 13th episode, while still leaving some of his options open, just in case. Sigh.
- A short interview with the writer of Alex Proyas' adaptation of the sci-fi book series Tripods.
- A gallery of vintage robot toys. Included are both smoking and non-smoking robots. Awesome!
- Ian McKellan gives a brief update on The Hobbit. Not many LotR cast members are returning - for obvious reasons - besides himself and Andy Serkis. The scripts will be delivered soon, they'll be budgeted and cast, and then shooting should start next Spring.
- To ensure consumers that they are getting the real deal, Kellogg's is going to start branding its logo onto its corn flakes with a laser. Uh... overkill much?
- The last two Tatsunoko vs. Capcom characters are Zero from Mega Man X and Joe the Condor from Gatchaman.
- Another cool LEGO CubeDude. This time it's Boushh.
- A very cool concept for Super Punch's horror of Star Wars art contest: a Tusken Raider tells a ghost story about a vengeful demon with a fiery sword descending on a camp and killing everyone there, even the women and children. Of course, the demon is Anakin.
- A collection of cool, Disney-related art.
- Game|Life's analysis of Brütal Legend: great story, disappointing gameplay. D'oh. They still give it a pretty high rating, though.
- You can now report spammers on Twitter. Nice. (I know I post a lot, but please do not report me as a spammer.)
- Here's a website where you can play tons of classic '80s arcade games. (Via)
- Check out the first trailer for The Expendables. This looks utterly ridiculous. I mean, I'll still probably see it, because of the cast and the crazy action. But man. The corny dialog, the cliche plot. It looks so terrible.
- Cinematical celebrates those rare times when a great director was able to put out two great films in the same year.
- Cinematical suggests five ways Michael Bay could kill Megan Fox's character in Transformers 3. Heh.
- That "spy comedy romance thriller" previously entitled Witchita and starring Tom Cruise and Cameron Diaz has been retitled Knight and Day. Ugh.
- Call me a nerd, but I find these ridiculously sexy. (Via)
- A brief history of space films since Star Wars, plotted out on a map of the universe. (Via)

- Jemocalypse! (Via)
- Jon Favreau will not be directing The Avengers. Aww. Well, hopefully they'll find somebody else equally talented.
- Bunny!
- The 14 lamest horror movie killer costumes. C'mon, that image of the pig-headed dude from Motel Hell is iconic! In fact, it's that image that made me stay up late one night to watch that movie.
- Photos from Maxim of two of the sexier stars of Battlestar Galactica wearing not very much.
- Chris "Captain Kirk" Pine will be the next Jack Ryan. I guess I can see that.

- The 272 fast food items highest in calories. I'm happy to say that I'm pretty sure I've never eaten any of the items in the 1000+ calories range. Although I have eaten items in the 800-899 calories range. Gulp. (Via)
- Alien humor. (Via)

- Brian Michael Bendis talks about what's next for the Marvel Universe after Dark Reign. It's called Siege, and it will bring Captain America, Thor, and Iron Man back together again. (Via)
- Word has it the Where the Wild Things Are movie is upsetting some kids, but as you'll see in this excerpt from a recent interview, Maurice Sendak and the filmmakers don't really care so much. Here are five clips from the movie.
- The top 10 greatest space zomibes of all time.
- Dean Devlin and Roland Emmerich have been ready and waiting to make a sequel to Independence Day, they've just been bogged down in negotiations with Fox and Will Smith. Here's hoping they remain bogged down! Ugh.
- Nanoparticles have incredible potential to advance medical technology and health, but of course the first drug developed to use them will treat erectile dysfunction. Sigh.
- A Lovecraft fan is crafting and assembling souvenirs from the ill-fated expedition in At the Mountains of Madness. Brilliant! Check out a gallery of the items here.
- A map of 50 years of space exploration. (Via)
- Dark Horse might do a Dollhouse comic book series.

- It's that time of year again! Metal Floss has 10 epic Halloween costumes. (Via)

- The track list for LEGO Rock Band has been released.
- No, R2, no!
- Tekken 6 is bring back the beat-em-up campaign mode to fighting games. Neat.
- It recently came out that Gary Ross would rewrite and direct a screenplay about Venom, but now it looks like he'll be doing a movie about the spy Matt Helm first.
- Apparently they're going to do 300-style versions of Moby Dick and the story of Moses?! Good lord. Cinematical picks out five more ancient epics that are ripe for the 300 treatment. But really I'd rather there never be another movie like 300. Yuck.
- Scientists are claiming they've found a kindler, gentler, vegetarian spider, but I don't believe it for a second. It's still a nasty, ugly spider. Kill it!
- Speaking of which... ah, Spider Pill!
- Steampunk toilet!
- Write a story with Neil Gaiman on Twitter today.
- A small pile of cute.
- Scans of screenshots of Castlevania: The Adventure ReBirth.

| Recyclotron |
| by Fëanor |
Fëanor pours the entire internet into the Recyclotron, and only the best links come out the other end for you to enjoy.
- I am not at all interested in seeing 2012, but I truly love the trailer for the movie embedded above, which focuses entirely on the actors and includes no effects shots. (Via)
- Check out an extract of Daft Punk's theme for Tron: Legacy. (Via)
- I don't know about you, but I'm not yet tired of Facebook status update jokes. Here's a collection of comic book characters' Facebook status updates.
- We might have to start paying to watch certain shows on Hulu. Who can we thank for this? Comcast. Bastards. (Via)
- Weird Al covers Elvis Costello. And he doesn't even change the lyrics or anything. (Via)
- France is considering warning labels for airbrushed photos. Nice one! (Via)
- The snazzy new Doctor Who logo (via), and new pics from the set of the show.
- Archaeologists have discovered another prehistoric stone circle just a mile down the road from Stonehenge. It's a miniature version of Stonehenge that they're calling Bluehenge, after the color of the stones. Uh, except that there aren't any stones anymore. They've all been removed. D'oh. (Via)
- Escapism is something I love, but feel guilty about loving. io9 makes me feel less guilty with this fascinating essay in defense of escapism.
- This article will spoil the surprise celebrity cameo in Zombieland for you (whoops), but if you've already seen the movie or don't mind being spoiled, it's quite entertaining.
- More fun reimagined movie posters.
- 10 essential Superman comics. I agree wholeheartedly with Whatever Happened To The Man Of Tomorrow, Superman And The Legion Of Super-Heroes, Red Son, The Superman Chronicles Vol. 1, and especially the excellent All-Star Superman Vols. 1 & 2. The other picks I haven't read before; maybe I should check them out!
- Some intriguing videos and pics from The Vampire's Assistant, the film adaptation of the first of the Cirque du Freak novels. I'm not familiar with the books, but the movie looks pretty interesting, if occasionally also cheesy and cliche.
- A look at an old script of Joss Whedon's that was sort of a beta version of Dollhouse.
- Looks like the latest attempt to make a Voltron movie has fallen apart, but they're going to start again from scratch.
- The Batman on an elephant thing I posted yesterday, but the Ninja Turtle pizza party was new to me. Heh.
- A couple of fun T-shirt designs, one involving dinosaurs, and one about robots and aliens. So, all the geek food groups, pretty much!
- Excellent little art piece using an old computer case.
- A clever watch that writes the time on your flesh with lasers!
- Dreamcast controller as iPhone dock.
- Batman: Arkham Asylum started out as a rhythm action game??
- Super Punch just turned me on to the amazing art of Sam Bosma. Check out especially his Shadow Over Innsmouth illustrations. For more cool art found via Super Punch, check out some monsters and a god.
- Video of a classic physics experiment conducted on the moon.
- Ooh, to commemorate the 25th anniversary of the Transformers TV show, they're putting out a limited number of gift packs which include a DVD, a graphic novel, and the original, generation one, die cast metal version of Optimus Prime! You can win one over at Underwire; you better believe I entered.
- The incredibly disturbing trailer for the Crazies remake. Hey, look who stole that "Mad World" cover again!
- Every day this month, Horror Squad is highlighting a different cinematic "fate worse than death."
- A photo gallery of 9 enormous gadgets.
- A video on the making of swords for the Lord of the Rings movies.
- You can stream the Mountain Goats new album, The Life of the World to Come, in its entirety over at Colbert Nation. What I've heard so far is quite good!
- Infrared video of hundreds of thousands of bats flying out of Carlsbad Caverns.
- That's some Star Wars tattoo! Nothing naughty is actually pictured, but this is possibly NSFW anyway.
- A very unlikely, and surprisingly excellent, music team-up: Chistopher Cross, Michael McDonald, and The Roots.
