Amazing stuff!</li><br/><li>The Max Fleischer <em>Superman</em> cartoons are pretty fantastic, and <a href="http://io9.com/5963049/you-can-now-watch-the-1940s-fleischer-studios-superman-cartoons-online" target="_blank">you can now watch them all on YouTube</a>, legally and everything!</li><br/><li><a href="http://cuteoverload.com/2012/11/26/why-howdy-do/" target="_blank">More cuteness for you</a>, straight from the source (Cute Overload).</li><br/><li>Partly as research for my novel, and partly just because I like them, I've been reading tons of fairy tales and folk tales lately. So I was kind of excited to see that a big-screen, Hollywood adaptation of <em>Jack the Giant Slayer</em> was in the works. But I should have figured that in the process of creating such a thing, they would have added all the typical big-screen, Hollywood trappings to the story. Corny catch-phrases, lame love story, overwhelmingly huge action set pieces, bombastic rhyming prophecies, tons of special effects. Oy. <a href="http://blastr.com/2012/11/full-trailer-for-singers.php" target="_blank">This trailer is just gross.</a></li><br/><li><a href="http://www.superpunch.net/2012/11/homemade-cardboard-star-destroyer.html" target="_blank">Homemade cardboard Star Destroyer!</a></li><br/><li>I particularly love the second piece in <a href="http://www.superpunch.net/2012/11/art-roundup_25.html" target="_blank">this Super Punch art roundup</a>.</li><br/><li>I really love the sweet and funny <em>Darth Vader and Son</em> by Jeffrey Brown, so it's pretty cool that <a href="http://www.superpunch.net/2012/11/sequel-to-darth-vader-and-son-vaders.html" target="_blank">he's doing a sequel called <em>Vader's Little Princess</em></a>. There are even holiday-themed downloads!</li><br/><li>I never got into Lemony Snicket, but I've heard great things, and we do have a book we really like written and illustrated by Jon Klassen, so I'm curious about this book that the two of them are collaborating on, <a href="http://www.superpunch.net/2012/11/the-dark-by-lemony-snicket-and-jon.html" target="_blank"><em>The Dark</em></a>.</li><br/><li>I'm fascinated by devices like this for some reason: <a href="http://io9.com/5963240/this-lamp-tells-you-the-weather-by-recreating-it-inside-your-house" target="_blank">a lamp that tells you the weather by recreating it inside your house</a>. (No, it will not actually make it rain.)</li><br/><li><a href="http://www.avclub.com/articles/andrew-wk-seriously-named-us-cultural-ambassador-t,89082/" target="_blank">Andrew W.K. has been named the U.S. cultural ambassador to Bahrain.</a> FYI. So they will be partying hard there soon, I assume. <strong>UPDATE:</strong> Somebody somewhere apparently realized this was kind of a crazy idea and <a href="http://pitchfork.com/news/48709-us-state-department-pulls-the-plug-on-andrew-wks-party-trip-to-bahrain/" target="_blank">cancelled the whole thing</a>. The world is a sadder place now.</li><br/><li>Ironically, the most frustrating thing about watching <a href="http://www.wired.com/underwire/2012/11/genre-films-fake-ads/" target="_blank">this collection of the craziest fake ads from movies</a> is all the real ads stuck in between.</li><br/><li>Holy crap, you guys. <a href="http://io9.com/5963263/how-nasa-will-build-its-very-first-warp-drive" target="_blank">NASA is working on a faster-than-light warp drive.</a></li><br/><li><a href="http://blastr.com/2012/11/how-to-make-a-fairy-room.php" target="_blank">How to make a fairy room in your house.</a> Awesome idea.</li></ul><br/><br/><a href="https://www.feanorsworkshop.com/blog/blog.php?id=4041&thumbUp=1">Thumbs Up?</a> (3)<br/><br/>Tagged: <a href="https://www.feanorsworkshop.com/blog/index.php?which=1&tag=220">Advertising</a>, <a href="https://www.feanorsworkshop.com/blog/index.php?which=1&tag=190">Animals</a>, <a href="https://www.feanorsworkshop.com/blog/index.php?which=1&tag=415">Animated GIFs</a>, <a href="https://www.feanorsworkshop.com/blog/index.php?which=1&tag=52">Art</a>, <a href="https://www.feanorsworkshop.com/blog/index.php?which=1&tag=112">Buffy</a>, <a href="https://www.feanorsworkshop.com/blog/index.php?which=1&tag=99">Cartoons</a>, <a href="https://www.feanorsworkshop.com/blog/index.php?which=1&tag=102">Comedy</a>, <a href="https://www.feanorsworkshop.com/blog/index.php?which=1&tag=4">Comic books</a>, <a href="https://www.feanorsworkshop.com/blog/index.php?which=1&tag=346">Commercials</a>, <a href="https://www.feanorsworkshop.com/blog/index.php?which=1&tag=270">Craft</a>, <a href="https://www.feanorsworkshop.com/blog/index.php?which=1&tag=212">Dogs</a>, <a href="https://www.feanorsworkshop.com/blog/index.php?which=1&tag=271">Gadgets</a>, <a href="https://www.feanorsworkshop.com/blog/index.php?which=1&tag=185">Holiday</a>, <a href="https://www.feanorsworkshop.com/blog/index.php?which=1&tag=153">Links</a>, <a href="https://www.feanorsworkshop.com/blog/index.php?which=1&tag=13">Movies</a>, <a href="https://www.feanorsworkshop.com/blog/index.php?which=1&tag=37">News</a>, <a href="https://www.feanorsworkshop.com/blog/index.php?which=1&tag=183">Painting</a>, <a href="https://www.feanorsworkshop.com/blog/index.php?which=1&tag=31">Photography</a>, <a href="https://www.feanorsworkshop.com/blog/index.php?which=1&tag=268">Recyclotron</a>, <a href="https://www.feanorsworkshop.com/blog/index.php?which=1&tag=146">Science</a>, <a href="https://www.feanorsworkshop.com/blog/index.php?which=1&tag=194">Space</a>, <a href="https://www.feanorsworkshop.com/blog/index.php?which=1&tag=47">Star Wars</a>, <a href="https://www.feanorsworkshop.com/blog/index.php?which=1&tag=110">Superman</a>, <a href="https://www.feanorsworkshop.com/blog/index.php?which=1&tag=80">Technology</a>, <a href="https://www.feanorsworkshop.com/blog/index.php?which=1&tag=17">TV</a>, <a href="https://www.feanorsworkshop.com/blog/index.php?which=1&tag=101">Video</a>, <a href="https://www.feanorsworkshop.com/blog/index.php?which=1&tag=151">Weather</a>]]></description>

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 <em>Star Wars</em>. <em>Star Wars</em> 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 <em>The Phantom Menace</em>. Well, looks like the nerd and kid factors won out, because <a href="http://blastr.com/2012/02/the-phantom-menace-makes.php" target="_blank">the 3D version made $73.4 million in less than two weeks</a> 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.</li><br/><li>Speaking of <em>Star Wars</em>, here are some <a href="http://superpunch.blogspot.com/2012/02/death-star-basketballs-and-other.html" target="_blank">rejected <em>Star Wars</em> products</a>.

<description><![CDATA[<img src="https://www.feanorsworkshop.com/blog/icons/me3d.jpg" style="vertical-align:text-top" />&nbsp;by Fëanor<br/><br/>Because they are awesome, my parents look after our son twice a week (and sometimes even more often!). They also have an iPad which they allow Griff to play with. I've touched an iPad maybe twice. My son is thus better acquainted with this technology than I am. I guess that's something I'll have to get used to.<br/><br/>He started out by being mostly disinterested in what was going on on the iPad's screen and far more interested in the shiny snap on the outside case. But in a dizzyingly short amount of time he has become an iPad expert and now knows how to turn it on, unlock it, and play with various apps. In fact, he now requests the iPad almost as soon as my parents come in the door, by pointing at it and grunting.<br/><br/>I feel like now that he's become used to the intuitive, touch-screen interface of the iPad, he finds the clunky, counter-intuitive, non-touch-responsive interface of books to be a bit lacking. Luckily, he has found a way to make books into touch-screen interfaces, too. He simply points at or pokes an animal or object on the page, and then looks at us expectantly. We then provide the sound or name of the given object. He has trained us well.<br/><br/>Moooo.<br/><br/><a href="https://www.feanorsworkshop.com/blog/blog.php?id=3915&thumbUp=1">Thumbs Up?</a> (4)<br/><br/>Tagged: <a href="https://www.feanorsworkshop.com/blog/index.php?which=1&tag=15">Books</a>, <a href="https://www.feanorsworkshop.com/blog/index.php?which=1&tag=271">Gadgets</a>, <a href="https://www.feanorsworkshop.com/blog/index.php?which=1&tag=361">Parenthood</a>, <a href="https://www.feanorsworkshop.com/blog/index.php?which=1&tag=23">Personal</a>, <a href="https://www.feanorsworkshop.com/blog/index.php?which=1&tag=80">Technology</a>]]></description>

The dude playing Peter Parker looks ridiculous (what is with the two-foot high haircut?), and dragging his parents into the story seems unnecessary.

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.)</li><br/><li>I am intrigued by <a href="http://superpunch.blogspot.com/2011/07/short-story-by-lev-grossman-and-mike.html" target="_blank">this short story collaboration between Lev Grossman and Mike Mignola</a> - even if the only other prose collaboration I've read by Mignola was not so good.</li></ul><br/><br/><a href="https://www.feanorsworkshop.com/blog/blog.php?id=3914&thumbUp=1">Thumbs Up?</a> (1)<br/><br/>Tagged: <a href="https://www.feanorsworkshop.com/blog/index.php?which=1&tag=52">Art</a>, <a href="https://www.feanorsworkshop.com/blog/index.php?which=1&tag=73">Automobiles</a>, <a href="https://www.feanorsworkshop.com/blog/index.php?which=1&tag=15">Books</a>, <a href="https://www.feanorsworkshop.com/blog/index.php?which=1&tag=85">Celebrities</a>, <a href="https://www.feanorsworkshop.com/blog/index.php?which=1&tag=381">Game of Thrones</a>, <a href="https://www.feanorsworkshop.com/blog/index.php?which=1&tag=153">Links</a>, <a href="https://www.feanorsworkshop.com/blog/index.php?which=1&tag=127">Mike Mignola</a>, <a href="https://www.feanorsworkshop.com/blog/index.php?which=1&tag=296">Monsters</a>, <a href="https://www.feanorsworkshop.com/blog/index.php?which=1&tag=13">Movies</a>, <a href="https://www.feanorsworkshop.com/blog/index.php?which=1&tag=12">Music</a>, <a href="https://www.feanorsworkshop.com/blog/index.php?which=1&tag=195">Neil Gaiman</a>, <a href="https://www.feanorsworkshop.com/blog/index.php?which=1&tag=37">News</a>, <a href="https://www.feanorsworkshop.com/blog/index.php?which=1&tag=268">Recyclotron</a>, <a href="https://www.feanorsworkshop.com/blog/index.php?which=1&tag=140">Spider-Man</a>, <a href="https://www.feanorsworkshop.com/blog/index.php?which=1&tag=80">Technology</a>, <a href="https://www.feanorsworkshop.com/blog/index.php?which=1&tag=40">Toys</a>, <a href="https://www.feanorsworkshop.com/blog/index.php?which=1&tag=17">TV</a>, <a href="https://www.feanorsworkshop.com/blog/index.php?which=1&tag=101">Video</a>, <a href="https://www.feanorsworkshop.com/blog/index.php?which=1&tag=230">Zombies</a>]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[<img src="https://www.feanorsworkshop.com/blog/icons/cylon.jpg" style="vertical-align:text-top" />&nbsp;by Fëanor<br/><br/>Fëanor pours the entire internet into the Recyclotron, and only the best links come out the other end for you to enjoy.<br/><br/><ul><li><a href="http://www.planet-pulp.com/2011/04/daphne-blake.html" target="_blank">Daphne from <em>Scooby-Doo</em>.</a> Helloooo nurse!</li><br/><li><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/anniew/5654198076/" target="_blank">Annie Wu draws Dr. Mrs. The Monarch.</a></li><br/><li><a href="http://mrhipp.blogspot.com/2011/04/haircut-for-emma-frost.html" target="_blank">A typically wonderful rendition of Emma Frost by Dan Hipp.</a></li><br/><li><a href="http://www.comictwart.com/2011/04/captain-america-fighting-avenger-by.html" target="_blank">Chris Samnee slaps down an amazing sketch of Captain America on Comic Twart.</a> You know what that means: Cap is this week's selection! Awesome. (<a href="http://www.chrissamnee.com/2011/04/dr-doom.html" target="_blank">Also check out Samnee's wonderful, old school-style sketch of Dr. Doom and Mr. Fantastic fighting.</a>)</li><br/><li><a href="http://io9.com/#!5796109/arnold-schwarzenegger-will-be-back-in-terminator-5" target="_blank">Arnold's returning to the <em>Terminator</em> franchise.</a> On the one hand, I wouldn't mind having him back for old time's sake. But on the other hand, how do you explain a robot aging? And what else are you going to bring to the table besides Arnold? If there's not a good screenplay and a good director, it doesn't matter much who's in it. I mean, just look at the last <em>Terminator</em> movie. Or, on second thought, don't look at it. It's terrible!</li><br/><li>io9 takes a look at "<a href="http://io9.com/#!5795983/the-unlikely-graffiti-of-chernobyl" target="_blank">The unlikely graffiti of Chernobyl</a>."</li><br/><li><a href="http://io9.com/#!5795916/a-writer-of-syfy-original-movies-has-developed-a-new-scientific-process-for-creating-ice-cream" target="_blank">A dude who writes Syfy original movies developed a new way to make ice cream.</a></li><br/><li><a href="http://superpunch.blogspot.com/2011/04/hd-trailer-for-tarsems-immortals.html" target="_blank">The first official, HD trailer for Tarsem Singh's Greek mythology epic, <em>Immortals</em>.</a> Oh my God, it looks so good. I love Singh's other films, and was really looking forward to seeing what he could do with this material and a big budget. Looks like he knocked it out of the park. These are the thrilling, wildly imaginative visuals I've come to expect from this filmmaker. I can't wait to see the complete, final product.</li><br/><li><a href="http://io9.com/#!5795636/michael-chabon-celebrates-the-phantom-tollbooth" target="_blank">This io9 article</a> led me to these two interesting pieces: <a href="http://www.nybooks.com/blogs/nyrblog/2011/apr/21/michael-chabon-phantom-tollbooth-wonder-words/" target="_blank">Michael Chabon's appreciation of a wonderful little book I haven't read in ages, <em>The Phantom Toolbooth</em></a>; and <a href="http://www.nybooks.com/articles/archives/2011/may/12/why-she-fell/?pagination=false" target="_blank">an analysis of why Julie Taymor's <em>Spider-Man: Turn Off the Dark</em> failed</a>.</li><br/><li>A couple of dudes were watching <em>Game of Thrones</em>, got into an argument over which of the characters was going to "win" (by which I guess they meant, take the throne and defeat all other challengers?), and <a href="http://www.avclub.com/articles/man-beats-up-his-cousin-because-of-game-of-thrones,55143/" target="_blank">it turned into a physical fight that ended with the police arresting one of them</a>. Heh. That's silly, because clearly Jon and Dany are going to win, and I'll throw you through a window if you say anything different.</li><br/><li>The Beastie Boys are streaming their new album <a href="http://www.hotsaucecommittee.com/" target="_blank">right here</a>. You have to go and listen to it right now because it is fantastic.</li><br/><li>Hey, <a href="http://www.theautumnsociety.com/2011/04/blog-post_26.html" target="_blank">The Autumn Society is teaming up with Dreamworks Animation</a>! Cool!</li><br/><li>I really enjoy the work of artist Katie Shanahan. <a href="http://ktshy.blogspot.com/2011/04/frank-miller-robin.html" target="_blank">Here's her version of Frank Miller's Robin.</a></li><br/><li>Fed up with toasters that don't give you even heating? <a href="http://www.geekologie.com/2011/04/even-heating-roastie-the-lil-round-toast.php" target="_blank">Check out this round model!</a></li><br/><li><a href="http://www.geekologie.com/2011/04/friends-are-overrated-anyways.php" target="_blank">Water-ski alone with this skier-controlled tow boat.</a> You know, if you're insane.</li><br/><li><a href="http://www.geekologie.com/2011/04/its-a-bird-its-a-plane-itsa-rc.php" target="_blank">A remote-controlled superhero.</a></li><br/><li>Oh, lord. <a href="http://blastr.com/2011/04/the-next-zorro-to-be-set.php" target="_blank">A post-apocalyptic Zorro movie is on the way.</a></li><br/><li><a href="http://blastr.com/2011/04/green-lantern-adds-9-mill.php" target="_blank">Warner Bros. just added $9 million to the effects budget of <em>Green Lantern</em></a>, apparently as a last minute attempt to make sure the movie lives up to everyone's constantly rising expectations. I can't say this makes me feel particularly optimistic about this movie. You're trying to fix it by piling more effects on top? Yeah, that always works.</li><br/><li>In case you haven't seen it yet, <a href="http://blastr.com/2011/04/1st-set-pic-from-the-aven.php" target="_blank">here's the first official picture from the set of <em>The Avengers</em></a>, which started production the other day. Woo!</li><br/><li><a href="http://blastr.com/2011/04/watch-why-you-should-be-g.php" target="_blank">Replacing the dialog in various scenes from <em>Star Wars</em> with depressing, existential French philosophy is surprisingly hilarious.</a></li><br/><li>Super Punch presents <a href="http://superpunch.blogspot.com/2011/04/illustration-roundup_27.html" target="_blank">an illustration roundup</a> and <a href="http://superpunch.blogspot.com/2011/04/image-roundup_26.html" target="_blank">an image roundup</a>.</li><br/><li>I posted these to Twitter the other day, but here they are again because they're awesome: <a href="http://www.wired.com/underwire/2011/04/red-skull-covers/" target="_blank">cover art for a new limited series from Marvel called <em>Red Skull</em></a>.</li><br/><li>I love that we're bringing back the old William Castle theatrics and actually installing <a href="http://www.wired.com/underwire/2011/04/super-8-d-box/" target="_blank">movie theater seats that shake you around for <em>Super 8</em></a>. Of course, they're probably doing this because they're desperate and feel they have to pull out all the stops anymore to get you away from your TV, your computer, and your smart phone and into the movie theater. But still.</li><br/><li>"<a href="http://www.wired.com/underwire/2011/04/bacon-fat-keyboard/" target="_blank">Bacon-Fat Keyboard Lets Real Birds Tweet.</a>" It's about time!</li><br/><li><a href="http://blog.drawn.ca/post/4985707109/dushan-milic-folks-fabulous-work-here-have-we" target="_blank">The art of Dushan Milic.</a></li></ul><br/><br/><a href="https://www.feanorsworkshop.com/blog/blog.php?id=3855&thumbUp=1">Thumbs Up?</a> (3)<br/><br/>Tagged: <a href="https://www.feanorsworkshop.com/blog/index.php?which=1&tag=190">Animals</a>, <a href="https://www.feanorsworkshop.com/blog/index.php?which=1&tag=52">Art</a>, <a href="https://www.feanorsworkshop.com/blog/index.php?which=1&tag=135">Avengers</a>, <a href="https://www.feanorsworkshop.com/blog/index.php?which=1&tag=15">Books</a>, <a href="https://www.feanorsworkshop.com/blog/index.php?which=1&tag=113">Captain America</a>, <a href="https://www.feanorsworkshop.com/blog/index.php?which=1&tag=99">Cartoons</a>, <a href="https://www.feanorsworkshop.com/blog/index.php?which=1&tag=85">Celebrities</a>, <a href="https://www.feanorsworkshop.com/blog/index.php?which=1&tag=102">Comedy</a>, <a href="https://www.feanorsworkshop.com/blog/index.php?which=1&tag=4">Comic books</a>, <a href="https://www.feanorsworkshop.com/blog/index.php?which=1&tag=406">Crime</a>, <a href="https://www.feanorsworkshop.com/blog/index.php?which=1&tag=26">Food</a>, <a href="https://www.feanorsworkshop.com/blog/index.php?which=1&tag=271">Gadgets</a>, <a href="https://www.feanorsworkshop.com/blog/index.php?which=1&tag=381">Game of Thrones</a>, <a href="https://www.feanorsworkshop.com/blog/index.php?which=1&tag=131">Green Lantern</a>, <a href="https://www.feanorsworkshop.com/blog/index.php?which=1&tag=153">Links</a>, <a href="https://www.feanorsworkshop.com/blog/index.php?which=1&tag=400">Michael Chabon</a>, <a href="https://www.feanorsworkshop.com/blog/index.php?which=1&tag=296">Monsters</a>, <a href="https://www.feanorsworkshop.com/blog/index.php?which=1&tag=13">Movies</a>, <a href="https://www.feanorsworkshop.com/blog/index.php?which=1&tag=395">Mythology</a>, <a href="https://www.feanorsworkshop.com/blog/index.php?which=1&tag=37">News</a>, <a href="https://www.feanorsworkshop.com/blog/index.php?which=1&tag=407">Philosophy</a>, <a href="https://www.feanorsworkshop.com/blog/index.php?which=1&tag=289">Products</a>, <a href="https://www.feanorsworkshop.com/blog/index.php?which=1&tag=268">Recyclotron</a>, <a href="https://www.feanorsworkshop.com/blog/index.php?which=1&tag=146">Science</a>, <a href="https://www.feanorsworkshop.com/blog/index.php?which=1&tag=387">Scooby-Doo</a>, <a href="https://www.feanorsworkshop.com/blog/index.php?which=1&tag=140">Spider-Man</a>, <a href="https://www.feanorsworkshop.com/blog/index.php?which=1&tag=47">Star Wars</a>, <a href="https://www.feanorsworkshop.com/blog/index.php?which=1&tag=80">Technology</a>, <a href="https://www.feanorsworkshop.com/blog/index.php?which=1&tag=51">Terminator</a>, <a href="https://www.feanorsworkshop.com/blog/index.php?which=1&tag=17">TV</a>, <a href="https://www.feanorsworkshop.com/blog/index.php?which=1&tag=182">Twitter</a>, <a href="https://www.feanorsworkshop.com/blog/index.php?which=1&tag=101">Video</a>, <a href="https://www.feanorsworkshop.com/blog/index.php?which=1&tag=119">X-Men</a>]]></description>
