Whiz of the Web: Friday Fried Onions

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

• Dueling Philly cheesesteaks as political metaphor. Thank you, Comedy Central. (Via Debbie)
• Dude: new trailer for Aliens vs. Predator: Requiem. It will rock your face off.
• Cross your fingers, folks! A new Entertainment Weekly article suggests a Peter Jackson-directed movie of The Hobbit is closer to becoming a reality.
• We think the Scream movies made up a great trilogy, and that they should probably remain a trilogy. But then again, it wouldn't be a great parody of a slasher movie series if it didn't go on way longer than it should. So we're going to go ahead and be cautiously optimistic about Scream 4.
• Try not to all vomit at once, but it looks like Brett Ratner will be directing the Escape from New York remake.
• Rumor is that Tyrese Gibson will play the Green Lantern in the upcoming JLA movie. OK, that's pretty cool.
• Major Nelson at the Xbox team would like to know what Microsoft is doing wrong - and not just with the Xbox, but in general. Go ahead, give him a piece of your mind. He asked for it! (Via)
• And while you're telling people what you really think of their stuff, why not go tell Nintendo what you think of Phantom Hourglass? You'll get a free feather stylus for your trouble!
