Whiz of the Web: Monday Meat Slices

The best of the internet, chopped into tiny bits and grilled for your enjoyment.

• Filter has released their list of the overall Top Ten Albums of 2007, as well as a bunch of supplementary top 10 albums by their staff. Mostly unsurprising indie rock of the moment picks, but some interesting stuff. And hey these remind us of other lists we've seen lately... (Via Samantha)
• We couldn't care less about the upcoming reality show Clash of the Choirs... but it does have that Philly connection, so we felt honor-bound to waste a bullet point on it. (Via Izzy of 360i)
• Argh! Negotiations between the producers and the writers have broken down again, and now the Producer's Guild has released a statement explaining what's going on from their point of view.
• Cow farts are, believe it or not, a big contributor to global warming, but scientists may have found a solution to this problem: transfer the stomach bacteria from kangaroos, which fart much less and digest more efficiently, to cows. Bam! Scott Adams reads this story, and muses about it in typically amusing fashion.
• Toren Atkinson is back with another episode of his history of comics series! This time he takes on the Golden Age.
• The word from director George Miller is that Justice League is still on track to start filming next year, but it will have a different title when it gets before the cameras.
• M. Night Shyamalan's next film, The Happening, has a poster! Pretty cool. In cased you missed them, check out our earlier posts about the making of this film here and here.
• Woo hoo! The new trailer for Jumper makes it look even cooler than before. Can't wait for this one. And speaking of new trailers, here's one for Inkheart (via), yet another film adaptation of a popular fantasy book. We found the book this is based on to be rather dull and long-winded, but the movie looks like it might be pretty decent, although we're a little surprised that they give away the story's central secret right at the outset. Oh, but if you want a seriously awesome trailer, you need to watch this one right here. Just be aware that is extremely bloody. Bloody awesome!
