Whiz of the Web: Tuesday Torpedoes

The shapeless dough of the internet, formed into tasty pellets and baked to perfection, just for you.

• If you haven't heard of the upcoming film Snakes on a Plane...well, where the hell have you been?! It's the internet's favorite movie, for God's sake! And even if you haven't heard of it, the title pretty much sums it up. Anyway, a trailer is now available, and really it's everything we could have hoped for. Phillyist can't wait to see the complete film. Sam L. Jackson is so going to kick some snake tail. (Via)
• They're going to shake things up a bit in the upcoming Superman movie, Superman Returns, and reveal that Wolverine is Superman's father! Well, okay, not really. Actually, Hugh Jackman, who plays Wolverine in the X-Men movies, supposedly has a cameo in a flashback as Clark Kent's Earth father. It would be pretty funny if Wolverine was Superman's dad, though, huh? Imagine the family reunions...
• This is what happens at SXSW when the geeks get drunk: a couple of days ago, two guys from Make Magazine and Eyebeam hacked a Roomba robot vacuum cleaner, adding Bluetooth and making it controllable remotely from a laptop computer, then tricked it out with a green costume and played Frogger "for real" on Sixth Street in Austin at two in the morning. Ultimately the thing made 10 trips across the street before it was destroyed by an SUV. Sadly, there doesn't appear to be any video, but there is a lovely photo gallery. (Via)
