• An amazing, 11-minute, Spike Jonze-directed, Beastie Boys music video starring action figures in all the roles. It features zombies, a yeti, a shark, and plenty of the old ultra-violence.


• Guillermo del Toro is doing a Beauty and the Beast adaptation starring Emma Watson, who is disturbingly hot.


• Here's a video from Toyota showing off their concept of a car window as a touch-sensitive smart device. Woah.


• I don't have the time to read it just now, but maybe you do: Neil Gaiman's short story "The Truth Is a Cave in the Black Mountains." I like the title, anyway. (Via)


• Here is an astonishing product: glow-in-the-dark rats that you can wear on your fingers, which are advertised as "Ideal for NIGHT BLOGGING."


• Remember Jimmy Fallon and Justin Timberlake's "History of Rap" medley from a while back, and how it was way better than it should have been? They've done another one, and if anything it's even better.


• Here's the trailer for the new Spider-Man movie. Can't say I'm too impressed. The dude playing Peter Parker looks ridiculous (what is with the two-foot high haircut?), and dragging his parents into the story seems unnecessary. That being said, the first-person shooter-style final sequence is pretty exciting. I assume that's what the video game version will be like?


• Take a gander at the craziest experimental weapons of the 19th century.


• Concept art from the third Riddick movie.


• Helena Bonham Carter is joining Johnny Depp on the cast of The Lone Ranger.


• Speaking of casts, here's the latest casting news for season 2 of Game of Thrones. We now have Stannis, Melisandre, and Davos. I'm not familiar with any of the actors, but they all look right, at least, and everybody else on the cast so far has been so great, it's hard to imagine they will be bad. (There goes the rumor that Eccleston will play Stannis. Ah, well. Maybe he'll show up as Balon Greyjoy.)


• I am intrigued by this short story collaboration between Lev Grossman and Mike Mignola - even if the only other prose collaboration I've read by Mignola was not so good.

• 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)

• Neil Gaiman's Sandman might become a TV show that might be produced by the Supernatural guy. Hmm. I wasn't very impressed by what I saw of an early episode of Supernatural, but I've heard that it got a lot better. This could be good news.


• Came across this news on Twitter yesterday: Ron Moore's next television project is "an adult Harry Potter set in a world ruled not by science but by magic." As long as he doesn't ruin the ending the way he did with Battlestar Galactica, this could be very cool. (Also, I assume this means Caprica is dead in the water, which is sad.)


• "The big-screen adaptation of Brian K. Vaughan and Adrian Alphona's Marvel comic Runaways will begin filming next spring in Los Angeles." Yay!


• The poster for the next season of Fringe, with some (maybe all?) of the Easter Eggs pointed out. Man, I'm still upset about Olivia being trapped in the other universe. They better get her out soon!


• Two items from a Cinematical news roundup that I found interesting: hilarious Bob Ross/300 mashup image, and "Joseph Gordon-Levitt and Scarlett Johansson are expected to star in the Diablo Cody-adapted zom-rom-com Breathers: A Zombie's Lament."

UPDATE 1:

• I wasn't going to mention this, because it's kind of old news, but just in case you haven't discovered it yet, behold the genius and awesomeness of Axe Cop. It's a sci-fi/fantasy/action web comic written by a 5-year-old and drawn by his 29-year-old brother. It is pure, wild, unfettered imagination - insane, hilarious, and fantastic. There are many, many episodes already, so it's taking me a while to catch up, but somehow it just keeps getting better with every episode I read. Check it out.

UPDATE 2:

• The guy who played the French master thief in the Ocean's movies is playing a real master thief in this movie. Looks good. (I don't remember where I got the link.)

• A trailer for a kinda creepy, kinda sad-looking robot love story by Spike Jonze called I'm Here, sponsored by Absolut. (Via)


• How about this whole 3D revolution? I guess that Dreamworks guy was right about it taking over. Anyway, looks like Tron Legacy will be using 3D only in the scenes set in Tron's world; Clash of the Titans might be converted to 3D; and we could see Ghostbusters 3 in 3D, too.


• Somebody worked out the science of those thruster rockets that R2-D2 whips out in the prequels (even though he never used them later on in the original trilogy, which makes no sense) and found that for them to work the way they appear to, R2 would need to weigh only 100 grams. Whoops. Of course, the Star Wars movies also feature sound in space, so it's not like George was ever that concerned with being true to physics.


• Frank Darabont will be adapting the zombie comic The Walking Dead into a TV series for AMC. I'm getting a little tired of zombies, and I never read the comic, but the fact that Darabont is involved is interesting.


• The new Conan the barbarian has been cast, and he will be played by Jason Momoa of Stargate: Atlantis.


• The 1,000 greatest films, as voted by "critics, filmmakers, reviewers, scholars and other likely film types." All the usual suspects, pretty much. Generally good picks, although I have my usual quibbles (I still don't get what's so great about Some Like It Hot or Breathless or Night of the Hunter, and so on). (Via)

• MTV is planning to do a Dawn of the Dead TV series.


• Star Trek 2 has a release date, and it is June 29, 2012.


• A woman named Blake Lively, who looks like this, will be playing Carol Ferris in the Green Lantern movie.


• The folks at io9 list five directors they wish would do science fiction, and I have to agree wholeheartedly.


• More samples from that Masters of the Universe art show.


• I'm not usually a fan of sweater vests, but this one I like.


• Why does NBC hate its own programs? Their sci-fi series Day One has gone from being an ongoing show, to a one-season show, to a miniseries, and now it's just a TV movie.


• Updates and details on Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides, Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time, and The Sorcerer's Apprentice: Feeling Naked Without a Subtitle.


• That is one impressive cookie. (Via)


• The LEGO Universe trailer is very cool.


• Snazzy-looking motorcycles.


• Amazing sculptures based on movies.


• Techland picks the best of CES 2010. (As an aside, for some reason I really, really hate Techland's insistence on writing a post that's basically a lot of filler with a link to the actual content. Just give me the list right off the bat, for God's sake! Anyway, that's why I'm linking directly to the list, to save you from my aggravation.)


• Techland picks some underrated sci-fi movies. I agree that these are all very good films, but I'm not sure they're all underrated. Aren't critics always going on and on about Dark City and Silent Running?


• Uh oh. Trouble in Asgard? Stuart Townsend, who was going to play Fandral, has left Thor over the usual "creative differences." They've already replaced him with Joshua Dallas.

• Above, the Muppets return to wish you a merry Christmas, via song and violence.


• Have I mentioned lately how much I love the art of Paul Pope? Here's an interview with him, plus a gallery of some of his work. Be aware there is some minor illustrated nudity.


• I haven't posted a lot of the "best of" lists I've been seeing, because most of them have been lame, but this one seems pretty good. It's meant to be the best sci-fi and fantasy novels of the decade, and the three books on it that I've read I really loved (those being Jonathan Strange & Mr. Norrell, A Storm of Swords, and Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix).


• I kind of love this revolver remote control, although it doesn't sound particularly functional, and could very well get you in trouble with your neighbors and the police.


• Um... hot.


• New movie posters! The Iron Man 2 one is okay, but it's the Clash of the Titans posters I'm really excited about.


• A couple of images from the new Day of the Triffids.


• Wow, this is crazy: Richard Kelly is apparently going to direct the movie of Pride and Prejudice and Zombies, with Natalie Portman starring and producing.


• The early reviews of James Cameron's much-hyped Avatar are mostly positive. Word is his next job will be to produce a 3D remake of Fantastic Voyage.


• Video of a pretty awesome combination secret door/bookcase/model of Han Solo in Carbonite.

• 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.

• 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)

• 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.

• Google is also making a search deal with Twitter.


• Flickr has Facebook-style people-tagging now.
