Whiz of the Web: Wednesday Whiz-Up

The best of the internet, squirted out in flavorful neon globules, just for you.

• A unique art show opened on Monday in Cleveland, Ohio, and runs until September 29th. It's called the Grumpy Freak Show, and on display are 8-inch vinyl Grumpy Bear dolls customized by over 50 artists. All the dolls will be auctioned to benefit Harvest for Hunger. As with all things these days, the show has a blog. Perhaps not as common, the blog is pretty fantastic, and features tons of pictures of finished and in-progress bears. Our favorites are the Catbus-bear, the dying Vader bear (pictured above), and the bear from the black lagoon.
• MGM has a bunch of big-budget movies planned for the near future, besides Rocky Balboa, of course. Included in the list are Terminator 4 and one or two installments of The Hobbit, hopefully directed by Peter Jackson. We've loved all the Terminator movies so far, but each time they make one, they push their luck that much further, and we're afraid this might be the time they finally fall on their face. As for The Hobbit, we can't wait - although we hope they keep in mind that it is a children's story. Not too too creepy please, Mr. Jackson! (Via Sarah)
• The Movie Blog has the link to the trailer for that fan-made Star Trek movie we posted about a while back, Star Trek: Of Gods and Men. Looks a bit cheesy, which is kind of unavoidable with a fan-made film, but it also looks like it could be pretty cool. We'll be looking forward to checking out the full movie when it becomes available.
