Whiz of the Web: Monday Meat Slices

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

• Nerd World has published excepts from the tax fraud and conspiracy trial of Wesley Snipes. Don't worry, they're not real. But they are hilarious.
• An interesting concept gadget: the inflatable mouse.
• Joe Johnston is officially the new director on The Wolfman. With that job filled again, the movie should be able to keep on schedule
• Video of an immersive desktop VR display created using a PS3 dev kit, a PlayStation Eye, and a few homemade tools.
• In case you missed the trailers for Wanted and Prince Caspian that aired during the Super Bowl, Cinematical has them both. And actually, if you want to see any of the Super Bowl commercials again, you can find them over on AOL's Super Bowl Commercials website. There were a lot of funny ones (like the Doritos Mouse Trap ad), some cool ones (like that Iron Man spot we told you about), a few questionable ones (what was with the vaguely racist SalesGenie.com commercials?), and some that were just stupid (the puzzling Under Armour fascist army ad, for instance, or the trying-way-too-hard Life Water commercial with the CG lizards doing the "Thriller" dance).
• Check out the Chinese trailer for John Woo's next movie, Red Cliff. Pretty hot stuff. (Via)
• The writers strike is another step closer to being over. The writers and majors studios have put together the outlines of a new contract that could be ratified by the WGA board as early as Friday, to be voted on by the membership at-large soon afterward.
• One Million Monkeys Typing is an interesting idea for a website. It's an evolutionary writing site that lets you read existing story snippets, vote on which story paths you like the best, and/or write your own new story path. The title, of course, refers to the famous theorem. (Via Jill)
