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

• YESSSS new Broship of the Rings! Eowyn slaying the Witch-King and Thranduil and Legolas. Also, have you been reading Noelle Stevenson's Nimona? It's good stuff!


• Speaking of Lord of the Rings, GeekDad got some fun details on the upcoming LEGO game. I'm a little disappointed that it will stick closer to the movies than the books, but not too surprised. Anyway, it still sounds pretty awesome.


• I tweeted this a while ago, but good enough for a repost: somebody illustrated scenes from an imagined Harry Potter prequel focusing on James Potter and his buddies.


• Here is video of an SUV getting struck by lightning while driving.


• I like the T-shirt featured first in this Super Punch art roundup.


• A poster for one of the greatest movies never made, Jodorowsky's Dune.


• Some very neat art involving fantastic beasts by Chris Applehans.

• Hey, so this is cool. It doesn't really seem to signal any major change in policy, and it is coming a bit late, but still: the President said he thinks gay marriage should be legal. It's a step. A nice, big, symbolic step.


• That comedy special that Louis C.K. sold on the internet for five bucks, thus altering the universe, is airing this weekend on FX - in an edited form, of course.


• Kind of an unfortunate time to have a lawsuit going against the Beastie Boys. Apparently the boys will be okay if they have to settle, though, seeing as how their records are selling like hotcakes.


• Speaking of the Beastie Boys, here's a cool mashup of them and the Beatles; it's called the Beastles.


• Argo looks/sounds like a pretty amazing movie. Here's the trailer. It's based on a true story about a CIA plot to sneak some Americans out of Iran disguised as the film crew for a movie that didn't exist. They even brought in Jack Kirby to do some concept art.


• Ron Howard, at least, still thinks there's a future for his Dark Tower movie.


• That's some bad-ass stuff right there.


• Apparently a German art student has hand-illuminated and bound a copy of The Silmarillion. Looks amazing.


• Here's the cover of Warren Ellis' next book, Gun Machine. Looking forward to it.

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.

• 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.

• Fun with lyrics!


• A wonderful animated gif of an amusing moment in one of Mr. Eddie Izzard's stand-up routines.


• A real, solid, scientific explanation of why cats purr.


• Mr. Hipp mashes up Star Wars and Super Mario Bros.


• Ridley Scott explains the connection between Alien and Prometheus. I'm still a little confused, but okay.


• The evolution of "Weird" Al.


• We can print robot dinosaurs now?? Awesome.


• Here's a computer case made to look like Link.


• Amazing, gigantic Lord of the Rings family tree. (Via)


• Tongue-based computer controller!


• Hey, that dude from The Killing might be Robocop.


• A couple of interesting pics of Benedict Cumberbatch on the set of Star Trek 2. Looks like he's getting the ol' neck pinch!


• When I heard they were re-releasing the universally reviled Phantom Menace in theaters in 3D, I was really curious what kind of audience it would have. I mean, everybody says they hate this movie! Why would anyone pay extra to see it again in one more dimension than before? Then again, it's Star Wars. Star Wars has a certain cache. And nerds are famous for paying for things so they can then complain about them endlessly. Plus, there's the kid factor. Kids don't know they're supposed to hate The Phantom Menace. Well, looks like the nerd and kid factors won out, because the 3D version made $73.4 million in less than two weeks and pushed the movie's overall box office total over the billion dollar mark to make it the 11th highest grossing film of all time. Wow.


• Speaking of Star Wars, here are some rejected Star Wars products. Also, in the upcoming Star Wars game for Kinect, there will be a Slave Leia dance-off.


• Cute Wizard of Oz cupcakes.


• Here's a little boy piloting a mecha suit.


• I love this stamp.

• Piggie!


• I'm a big fan of early filmmaker Georges Méliès, especially his celebrated Le Voyage Dans La Lune. Well, that film has been restored with a new soundtrack by French pop duo Air! Here's a clip.


• I feel like I've seen this before... but anyway, it's still cool: 48 years of Doctor Who in about 10 minutes.


• You can download a free copy of the game they played in The Last Starfighter right here! It's a PC-only exe, by the way; sorry, Mac-users. I haven't played it yet, but I will! (Via)


• Well, Liam Neeson was at least on the set of The Dark Knight Rises. And he may have a cameo reprising his role as Ra's al Ghul. Which would be AWESOME.


• You can now purchase this great Hellboy/Peanuts mashup.


• I enjoy this Adopt a Dire Wolf T-shirt. It supports a good cause!


• Via Warren Ellis, "Indonesian man arrested for kicking woman he thought was a ghost." And really, from the way he describes it, I might have kicked her, too. But more likely I probably would have just run screaming.

Hey, remember when I used to post things like this to this here blog?? Thought I'd try it again, just to see how it goes. Enjoy!

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

• Some fun recent posters on Reelizer: My Neighbor Totoro, Blade Runner, and Seven Samurai.


• Speaking of Blade Runner and My Neighbor Totoro... And here's another amusing mashup.


• Make your own chocolate D&D dice. (Via)


• This bootleg copy of the Dark Knight Rises trailer is crazy exciting. (UPDATE: Here's the official trailer.)


• A holiday-themed Wondermark! And here's one that's far too accurate to my experience.


• Dude! Officially licensed Lord of the Rings LEGO toys?? There goes all my money.


• Commercials are now legally obligated to not be so damn loud, which makes the fist-waving old man inside me very happy.


• The house banners from A Song of Ice and Fire, redone in super-cute, chibi style.


• The trailer for Expendables 2. Just a teaser, really, but how about that cast!


• I was surprised that Mission: Impossible - Ghost Protocol was getting such good reviews until I remembered it's directed by Pixar genius Brad Bird. Yeah, I might have to see that.


• The Avengers trailer! You think you've seen it already, but have you seen this version?? It has extra scenes, and it's in German!


• So even though Ridley Scott's Prometheus is essentially a prequel to his Alien film, it will not actually feature the alien, or xenomorph, at all. Huh. Okay then.


• Every year Matthew "defective yeti" Baldwin writes a guide to the best new board games. Always fun! Here's this year's.

• Some people are doing it right!


• A book of nursery rhymes in comic form by a bunch of famous cartoonists.


• Jaws as a Peanuts-style comic strip.


• What to expect from season 4 of Fringe. Exciting stuff!


• The Mars rover Opportunity is still running, finally arriving at its original destination, and getting ready to search for life.


• The School Board of Republic High School in Missouri banned Slaughterhouse-Five from the library, so the Vonnegut Memorial Library offered to provide a free copy to any of the 150 students who were originally supposed to read it.


• Along with the already existing nine (9!) film versions in development, there is now also a TV version of Frankenstein in the works. Naturally it is a "modern-day take" on the story. Oy.


• The Radiohead remix album is coming in September.


• Sam Bosma shows off a great commission piece featuring Lady Macbeth.


• Neat piece of Lovecraft-inspired art.


• SETI had to shut down its search for alien life back in April, but it's starting up again next month thanks to generous donations.


• It's nice to hear that J.J. Abrams would like to add a gay character to Star Trek.


• Apparently Disney announced it would be releasing two more Marvel movies in 2014 - one on May 16, 2014, and another on June 27, 2014 - but it's unclear who or what they'll be about.


• Blastr collects 24 wild and crazy newspaper headlines from sci-fi TV and films.


• 10 fictional games recreated in real life. I can't believe anybody really tried to play Kosho from The Prisoner. That crap was crazy, yo.


• T. Rex dressed as Batman.


• Scientists say spoilers don't really detract from your enjoyment of entertainment. Also, Rosebud was the name of his sled.


• The trailer for a modern-day update of Shakespeare's Coriolanus. Looks good!


• The descendants of snakes that escaped from the set of Raiders of the Lost Ark still roam Elstree Studios. That might be my favorite story of the week.


• An infographic of everyone killed by Jason in the Friday the 13th movies, including the method of their murders. Note that these are only the people killed by Jason, so the first movie is not included.


• Exhumed Films is doing their 24-hour Horror-thon at the iHouse again this year. Maybe someday when the kid is old enough I'll go to this with him. Assuming it's still happening then, and the kid likes horror movies, and doesn't mind being seen with me, and I'm still capable of sitting in a movie theater chair for that long without permanently injuring myself.

• Oh God, I want to see this movie so badly now.


• NSFW but amazing photos of a naked woman taming beluga whales in frozen arctic waters.

• Amusing Peanuts/Doctor Who mashup art.


• A chiptune version of the Game of Thrones soundtrack. At some point I have to catch up with that show. Luckily the first season is over now so I have some time...


• Speaking of Game of Thrones, here's a very enthusiastic Fantastic Four fan letter addressed to Stan Lee and Jack Kirby, apparently written by George R.R. Martin.


• And still speaking of Game of Thrones, here's an amusing parody image.


• How about some Star Wars character hoodies?


• A Woolite ad directed by Rob Zombie.


• A Super Punch illustration roundup. The two Harry Potter images at the end are fun and heartbreaking, respectively.

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

• Great, understated poster for Blood Simple.


• Dawww, what a cute Batman comic.


• Pretty amazing gallery of artfully defaced money.


• In case you haven't seen the ridiculously detailed, motorized LEGO model of a Jawa sandcrawler yet, here's your chance. There are many pictures, and a video tour!


• The Helm was a comic I enjoyed. Because the main character of said comic was a bit of a geek, the website features a page where a new version of Chewbacca is posted every week. Enjoy!


• Another of Super Punch's fun illustration roundups. I particularly like the Aquaman image.
