Whiz of the Web: Friday Fried Onions

• If Golden Compass does well at the box office, the next two movies in the trilogy would most likely be filmed back to back. So we guess the filmmakers had better hope box office numbers match up to the Guardian's four star review of the film. Meanwhile, in reference to all the controversy already swirling around the film, Cinematical politely asks that everybody STFU and wait to actually see the damn thing.
• Now here's an eBay auction with a difference: if you win it, not only will you get a copy of Rock Band, you will get it delivered to you personally, on Christmas Day, by a hot girl in a Santa suit (via). And the proceeds go to benefit charity! Could there be any greater gift? Oh, and once you've gotten your copy of the game, here's an instructional video on how to turn your the drum controller into a real, working electronic drum kit.
• Samuel L. Jackson will once again be hosting Spike's Video Game Awards this year. You can check them out on TV a week from today.
• The rumor is that a longtime editor and contributor at GameSpot was fired from the site the other day for giving the game Kane & Lynch: Dead Men a not so great review. Supposedly the publisher of the game saw the 6.0 review score, threatened to pull all of their advertising from the site, and GameSpot responded by letting the reviewer go. If true, this is obviously pretty outrageous. Especially since 6.0 isn't even that bad a score when you get right down to it. Oh, and Penny Arcade is, of course, all over that shit.
• The summing up the year lists have hardly begun, and we've already found the most important one: Top 20 Movie Nude Scenes of 2007! (The page is perfectly safe for work; there are links to the dirty pictures, but you have to have an account to see them.) (Via)
• Bad news, everyone! The Wayans brothers are going to make a movie of The Munsters. Ugh.
• Uh oh! MGM president Harry Sloan said recently that they'd signed Daniel Craig to be in four more Bond films, but Craig just said that's not true, and that he's only signed on to the next movie for now. Hmm... maybe they should get together with their lawyers and take another, closer look at those contracts?
• Ryan Payton, the assistant producer for the PS3-exclusive Metal Gear Solid 4, "told Reuters that the game needs to sell one million units on its first day due to its production costs." Joystiq points out that "in the US that would require 50% of PS3 owners to buy the game on the first day." Heh. Good luck with that, guys.
• Jalopnik claims to have gotten pictures of the actual car to be used in the new Knight Rider show. And yes, it is indeed a Mustang, as rumored. (Via Jason)
