The shapeless dough of the internet, formed into tasty pellets and baked to perfection, just for you.
- Hee hee. For a bit of NSFW video game humor, click here.
- Mike Myers says he wants to make another Austin Powers movie, and it will probably be from Doctor Evil's perspective, which sounds good to us; he was always our favorite character anyway.
- We know at least one person in the area who was disappointed with the Netflix-like video game rental service, GameFly, because of its slow turnaround; well, they're opening an East Coast distribution center today in Pittsburgh, so you can expect to get your games pretty quick from now on.
- Check it out, a new single from Spinal Tap! Time to throw the horns and rock out. (Via)
- You've heard of TinyURL, the site that makes your URLs smaller. But making things smaller is not the American way! In fact, it probably helps the terrorists. So why not try hugeURL instead? Just hover over the following link to see the much bigger, and therefore better, URL for Phillyist.com: Phillyist. (Via)
- A new study says that "while 73% of Americans are online and well over half own a cell phone and a computer, only 8% are deep users of Web 2.0 features. According to the study, a Web 2.0 user is someone who uses technology to 'express themselves online and participate in the commons of cyberspace.'" This news surprised and confused us, as we thought everybody in the universe had a blog and was therefore a Web 2.0 user. But then we read that the study only looked at adults and not teenagers. Which means they pretty much missed MySpace entirely. Man, parents just don't understand!
- Ooh, free Clientele download! Thank you, XPN!
- Sci-Fi's going to have a new anime programming block every Monday from 11PM to 1AM, starting June 11. We're sure the anime-haters out there are puking in their mouths, but we're looking forward to checking out stuff like Ghost in the Shell: Solid State Society, Ninja Scroll, and Street Fighter II V.
- The live-action film adaptation of Neil Gaiman's Stardust is looking more impressive all the time. It's being directed by Matthew Vaughn (who did Layer Cake), and stars Michelle Pfeiffer, Robert De Niro, Claire Danes, and now Rupert Everett.
- Antonio Banderas says a Shrek spin-off movie starring his Puss in Boots character is in the works. It could be good!
- Julie Benz will be playing the female lead in John Rambo. You can also check out a behind-the-scenes pic from the set of the film, featuring Stallone looking all bloody and beaten up and posing with his family, right here.
- Say "hitman movie," and we're pretty much already there. But add on the fact that it's a sci-fi movie in which an aging hitman is being hunted by his young clone, who is meant to replace him, and then give it the title Gemini Man, and we're all over it. Unfortunately, the film has been in production hell for a long time, which is not usually a good sign, and Jerry Bruckheimer is producing. Yuck. Still, we'll keep our hopes up for this one.
- Sounds like a fun gangster movie called Stiletto is on the way, featuring Tom Berenger, Michael Biehn, Tom Sizemore, William Forsythe, Kelly Hu, and Dominique Swain. We can't say how happy we are to see Michael Biehn starring in so many movies these days. Good old Michael Biehn!
- Robert Rodriguez could direct a live-action Jetsons movie. Um, woah. We'd definitely watch that.
- Wait a minute, there's a direct-to-DVD animated Castlevania movie written by Warren Ellis in the works? And now it might be a trilogy? We are shocked and pleased!
- The Movie Blog is pissed that Paramount is trying to shut down IESB.net for putting up some photos from the set of Iron Man.
- The newest Transformers trailer will be in front of Shrek 3 when it shows up in theaters on May 18. The trailer will also be in front of the new Pirates movie when it comes out on May 25, and will show up with Spider-Man 3 during its third week of release. A new trailer will also be online by May 17, but we can't quite figure out if it'll be exactly the same one.
- The Movie Blog has some items to add to Cinematical's list of ways Spider-Man 3 could have been made better. They've also made themselves a list of the 5 golden rules for comic book films, but we find ourselves disagreeing with most of them. 4 and 5 are pretty solid, but we could easily see an interesting comic book movie being made where the villain is complex and not merely pure evil, where the hero has kids or a relationship, and where the film is longer than 90 minutes.
