  • Fun mash-up time! Illustrator Dylan Meconis has drawn up all the lead characters of "Battlestar Galactica" as if they were on "The Simpsons." Awesome! (Via)
  • And speaking of mash-ups, have you seen Star Lords yet? This time somebody's put together the two great popular epic fantasy sagas of our time - Star Wars and Lord of the Rings. At first the video just cleverly weaves together footage and sound from the two movie series - until frankly even for a geek like this Phillyist reporter it's hard to tell one from the other - apparently building toward some huge climactic battle between the two universes. But the battle devolves into, of all things, a disco dance-off. No, seriously. Check it out. It's good stuff. (Via)
  • Enjoy this wonderful gallery of classic comic book covers, featuring both super hero and war comics. (Via)
  • Terry Gilliam might direct the next Harry Potter movie?! Oh please, oh please, oh please...
  • Dumb Dinosaur! Yes, it's about a dumb dinosaur. It's one of those fantastically stupid and pointless internet movies that for some reason you find yourself really enjoying. Or at least, we do. Let us know if you agree! (Via)
  • Vader Sings Bowie! As our friend at Table of Malcontents points out, there's really no need to say anything more. (Via)
