Whiz of the Web: Thirsty Thursday

• Do you have a Wii? Is it hooked up to the internet? Do you like casual gaming? If you answered yes to all these questions, you might want to check out Wii.Knibble.com. They have a library of over 5,000 casual games like Bejeweled and Solitaire, all optimized for play on your Wii browser. (Via)
• Now they're making prequels to movies that themselves were spin-off prequels to other movies. We're referring here to the upcoming Scorpion King prequel, which will not even star The Rock, making it, if possible, even less interesting than the original.
• Bollywood star Shilpa Shetty is the latest woman rumored to be in the running to play the next Bond girl.
• A while back we posted - with much disgust - the news that Stephen Sommers had been chosen to direct G.I. Joe. The latest rumor is that, while he was offered the job, he asked for too much cash and has been turned down. We hope it's true, because even a movie adaptation of a corny kids' cartoon show deserves a better director than that.
• Ooh, now here's a fun list: the Top 20 Movies about Computer Hacking and Geeks. We love that they included underrated and overlooked flicks like Sneakers and The Thirteenth Floor, and it's good to see an old friend like Tron here, but we quarrel a bit with the inclusion of Hackers, Transformers, and The Net. Those movies don't belong on a list of the top 20 anything. (Via)
• While we're talking movie lists, how about Seven Teen Sex Comedies that Don't Suck, and the 25 Best Raunchy R-rated Comedies of All Time? These aren't really our favorite genres, but we can't resist lists of movies.
• Tarsem Singh, the guy who made The Cell (which we always thought was an amazing and underrated film) is directing a movie called The Unforgettable, which is about a cop who figures out he's not human and gets thrown into a war between good and evil aliens. Sounds good to us!
• A while back Edward Norton made an off-hand remark at a press conference suggesting that he wrote the screenplay for the new Incredible Hulk. We assumed he misspoke, or maybe just contributed a bit of dialogue here and there. But it turns out he actually did come on as a screenwriter for the flick, and helped fix up a draft that needed a lot of work.
• Anna Faris is starring in the upcoming film House Bunny as a Playboy bunny who gets kicked out of the Playboy Mansion and becomes the house mother for the lamest sorority on campus. The rest of the movie pretty much writes itself, doesn't it? Anyway, here are some pics of Faris in character, and costume (what there is of it), washing a car. Go ahead. You know you want to click.
