Whiz of the Web: Friday Fried Onions

A steaming hot pile of our favorite things from around the internets.

  • The Morning News has an important public service announcement for you regarding a terrible infestation you could already be experiencing without realizing it: hipsters! (Via)
  • LOL Trek. It's "The Trouble with Tribbles" summarized in a series of screen grabs from the show captioned in lolcat fashion. Hi-larious. Many of these images are ripe for being turned into personal icons. WE IN UR STATION CONSUMIN' YOUR QUADROTRITICALE. (Via)
  • Hey, remember the baby from the cover of Nirvana's classic album, Nevermind? That baby is a teenager now. You may begin freaking out. (Via Editor Jill)
  • It's a good day for web comics.
  • Aw. Pac-Man can't type. That's sad. And funny! (Via)
  • Cinematical tells us that in 1980, "after the CIA and two makeup artists came up with a non-existent movie (it seemed so real that it had the trades fooled), an operative named Tony Mendez traveled to Iran under the guise of the production in order to sneak out six American hostages. And yes, it worked." Wow, what a great story! Wouldn't it make a great movie? And wouldn't it be great if Warner Bros. bought the rights and asked George Clooney and Grant Heslov (the geniuses behind Good Night, and Good Luck) to write the screenplay? Well, guess what just happened?
  • Liv Tyler just got cast as the love interest in the upcoming Hulk movie. Eh. Okay. She's not a great actor or anything, but that's what we have Ed Norton for.
  • It's the trailer for Ocean's 40! No, it's not a real movie. But it's still brilliant. (Via)
  • Apparently Die Hard 4 may have been cut in order to get a PG13 rating, instead of an R. Also, Bruce Willis is surprisingly candid about the fact that he's not too happy about that, and about the fact that he didn't really like any of the Die Hard movies except the first one.
