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

• They're going to make a horror movie about an evil Paul Bunyan called... Bunyan. It will star Joe Estevez of Werewolf fame (yes, the MST3K movie), and it will come out next year. Amazing.


• io9 has collected the early reviews for Darren Aronofsky's Black Swan. Some are criticizing the movie for its backward ways, but others are praising it. Hmm...


• Terry Gilliam might convert Time Bandits to 3D. He wouldn't be changing anything in the film, just putting it in 3D. I'd watch that!


• Apparently Sam Prekop of The Sea and Cake has a new album! I was excited about this, until I read the Onion A.V. Club's review, and found out it's basically just a lot of random noise. Not sure I really need to hear that.


• The Onion A.V. Club also has an interesting review of Metroid: Other M. The fact that it's sort of on rails is actually attractive to me, as I don't really have time for a game that makes me do a lot of wandering and exploring, but a lot of the other things they mention here don't sound very fun. Still, I'm intrigued. I mean, it's Metroid!


• Apparently they really are going to make a Doctor Strange movie and Stan Lee is going to have a cameo in it. Cool!


• The new (3D, natch) Judge Dredd film will be called simply Dredd and will star Karl Urban as the title character and Olivia Thirlby as his psychic partner.


• Ridley Scott has a few fascinating details about his Alien prequel. Also, Gemma Arterton may star.


• Dude built an impressive working replica of the motorcycle in Excitebike.


• Pizza soda and bacon soda? I'd try 'em.


• Pretty great 8-bit track with appropriate 8-bit video accompaniment.


• A pic from Duncan Jones' Source Code! It's not particularly enlightening or thrilling, but it's a pic from the film, nonetheless.


• LEGO TARDIS! Very nice. I feel like the claim that it's functional is probably an exaggeration, though.


• Masters of the Universe as a medieval religious icon.


• Love the Metroid print.


• Wizard Alley.


• Angelina Jolie leaving Alfonso Cuaron's Gravity almost killed the movie, but supposedly Natalie Portman might save the day by taking over for her.


• An interesting preview of Epic Mickey.


• D'oh. Sounds like Terry Gilliam's Don Quixote movie is dead in the water again, due to the financing falling through.


• Official sonic screwdriver Wii Remote??!!? Give to me! Now!

• Remember that movie The Expendables with Sylvester Stallone, Jason Statham, Jet Li, and like everybody else in it? Here's the trailer. Looks like your typical big, dumb action movie. (Via)


• Star Wars pin-ups. (Via)


• The 160 greatest Arnold Schwarzenegger quotes, all collected in one convenient YouTube video. (Via)


• Supposedly Joss Whedon is on the short list to direct the Avengers movie. This is also supposedly not an April Fool's joke. But I find that hard to believe. (Via)


• How about some 8-bit Pink Floyd? (Via)


• io9 gives us 25 reasons to get excited about comics this spring by previewing 25 of the most promising upcoming series. I agree with them on S.H.I.E.L.D., Jason Aaron's Astonishing Spider-Man/Wolverine (I hadn't even heard about that before), Grant Morrison's The Return of Bruce Wayne, Patton Oswalt's Serenity book, Buzzard, and of course anything having to do with Hellboy. I will most certainly have to try Brightest Day, a few of the new Avengers books, and The Flash, but I don't hold out a lot of hope for them. The rest don't interest me.


• The Hulk, Spider-Man, and other modern pop culture heroes inserted into ancient art.


• Another new Adam WarRock track, this one dealing (at least tangentially) with Flash Gordon.


• A unique, animated entry on Animals with Lightsabers.


• The new, manly way to cook bacon: with a machine gun.


• Paul Greengrass, best known for making a couple of the Bourne movies, has been picked to direct James Cameron's 3D remake of Fantastic Voyage.


• LOLCats trading cards.


• Ah, the Tea Party: a haven for those who truly enjoy experimenting with the English language.


• Leonardo DiCaprio may play J. Edgar Hoover for Clint Eastwood in a biopic.

• 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)

• 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.

• Above, please find animation from the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles cartoon combined with audio from The Big Lebowski. Pretty funny; needless to say, the audio is NSFW. (Via)


• 10 books that should be banned. I've only read one of these, but as far as that one goes, I agree! (Via)


• Cool sculptures.


• A trailer for what should be a pretty interesting documentary - Lovecraft: Fear of the Unknown.


• 6 important life lessons learned from The Twilight Zone.


• One or more episodes of Star Trek: The Next Generation are recut into a pretty brutal, but also pretty funny, Wesley Crusher hatefest.


• Looks like MGM has been given some time to work out its money problems, which hopefully means the studio will be able to finish making the Hobbit movies.


• Sci Fi Wire lists its 9 favorite crazy zombie kills of all time, and Underwire rates the zombie-killing weapons in Zombieland.

• Wireless brain implants could mean a big upgrade in the control of prosthetic robotic limbs. (Via)


• Aww, cute little felt Admiral Ackbar. (Via)


• A couple of photos from the set of Clash of the Titans featuring Liam Neeson as Zeus. Cool! Looks like they're sticking with the metaphor of the Gods controlling humans by moving around figures on a game board. (Via)


• Random photo! (Via)


• Monty Python's Flying Circus is turning 40! In honor of this prestigious occasion, the Mirror picks the top ten sketches. Excellent selections! (Via)


• Some surgeons are using laser eye treatments to tailor people's eyes to their careers; for instance, they can give special forces members and fighter pilots the ability to see a thousand meters in the dark. Crazy!


• A poor video quality trailer for yet another upcoming Doctor Who spin-off: K-9. Yes, this time the Doctor's robot dog is getting his own series. Unfortunately, it looks like they're aiming it at kids, so it's pretty cheesy.


• io9 takes a look back at Wednesday Comics. I agree with a lot of this analysis - except I wasn't as much a fan of the Superman and Supergirl strips, and I was a huge fan of Strange Adventures.


• io9 picks 10 more toys for Hollywood to co-opt. I remember almost all of these toy lines with great fondness. Sectaurs! M.A.S.K.! Good stuff. In a similar vein, relive 10 forgotten cartoon heroes of the '60s! I love The Herculoids.


• Star Olivia Wilde talks about her experience filming Tron: Legacy.


• Another book trailer, this one for a coffee table book which tells an alternate history involving a robot named Boilerplate. It's quite clever, and oddly moving.


• A few fleeting hints about the plot for Ghost Rider 2.


• NBC is developing a new show called Midnighters, based on a series of novels "about characters able to access a superpowered 25th hour called the 'Blue Time' each day as a result from being born on the stroke of midnight." Interesting...


• More crazy anti-aging science: researchers may have found a way to activate muscle regeneration and restore tissue health.


• Stellan Skarsgard has joined the cast of Thor in an unspecified role. Excellent! Love that guy.


• Here's a handy bra that turns into a pair of gas masks.


• Did I post this before? I don't know, but it's awesome: dinosaur-skeleton-shaped ice cube trays!


• Impressive ballpoint pen portrait of Christopher Walken.


• Awesome concept car covered in solar panels which turn constantly to align with the sun.


• Sweet piranha plant scarf.


• Sci Fi Wire has 15 of the spookiest breakfast cereals, 14 great Cthulhu toys, and the 10 scariest Stephen King novels.

• Heh. Pretty hilarious poster.


• Worst day ever?


• Steampunk R2-D2. (Via)


• Cinematical presents a defense of theater-hopping.


• A review of the new 3D Toy Story double feature. I was kind of excited about this, but maybe it's not worth it.


• Here's a list with an odd theme: the seven scariest movie characters on wheels. I'm linking to it mainly because of the reference to Return to Oz, a movie I have an odd attachment to.


• A review of the Coen brothers' A Serious Man. From the ads, this didn't look like my kind of movie, but I do love the Coen brothers, and this is a very positive review...


• So what's really in coffee, anyway?


• Video of an aircraft shooting a truck with a laser.


• A lamp shade made of bacon strips.
