Across the Ist-a-Verse
The best of the internet, chopped into tiny bits and grilled for your enjoyment.
- NaughtyCodes.com actually has nothing to do with porn; it's a site that lists all those coupon and promotional codes that are only supposed to be sent to select customers. But now they're available to you, for naughty deals! (Via Jill, via her Mom)
- Um... this is just creepy. (Via Jill)
- What's the hottest new solo indie release? Songs for Ice Cream Trucks! It's songs... designed to be played by ice cream trucks.
- You want a geeky tattoo, but you'd like to take it for a test drive first. Why not get yourself some temporary transfer geek tattoos? That flaming 20-sided die is hot.
- Shiny Shiny has collected some of their favorite geek cakes, and we don't remember seeing any of these particular examples before.
- Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows has, as you might expect, broken sales records. The book sold 8.3 million copies in the first 24 hours in the United States. That's more than any other book ever. And the book also generated more revenue in its first day of release than the opening weekend of the latest Harry Potter movie. Oh, and also, it's a really good book.
- Disney's modern re-imagining of their 1975 classic Escape to Witch Mountain (this one entitled simply Witch Mountain) now has a director: Andy Flickman.
See the rest after the jump...
- Stanley Tucci could be playing killer George Harvey in Peter Jackson's upcoming film adaptation of Bones.
- Ooh, new Iron Man pic!
- Matt Damon says that, while he'd be honored to play Kirk, he thinks he's too old for the part, and that the rumors he's been cast are just that. But... he could be lying!!!
- Seth Rogen wants Stephen Chow (of Kung Fu Hustle) to be the Kato to his Green Hornet. Sorry, no; we're still feeling ill about this whole idea.
- This trailer for upcoming horror flick Trick 'r Treat is actually quite good. As you might guess, it's set during Halloween, and appears to involve ghostly children coming back from the dead to kill people. Yay! (Via)
- The latest casting news on Watchmen is that Jackie Earle Haley will be playing Walter Kovacs (aka Rorschach). That bit sounds pretty official, and then there's also a rumor that Malin Akerman will be playing Laurie Juspeczyk (aka Silk Spectre). And while we're talking comic book movie casting rumors, looks like Ray Stevenson will play the Punisher.
- Another fun Something Awful Photoshop contest can be found here. This time it's movie posters with the original title replaced by an amusing song title. (Via)
- Cinematical has for us seven movies with surprisingly bad special effects. We don't agree with them on every choice, but it's still an interesting list.
