The shapeless dough of the internet, formed into tasty pellets and baked to perfection, just for you.
- Cracked offers a horrifying (and hilarious) vision of what next year's Oscar nominees could be like if the writer's strike doesn't end (via). Meanwhile, Taco Bell has launched a contest on its website that offers striking WGA members a chance to win free food for a year (valued at $250) by "injecting fun and fresh bits of wisdom into the restaurant chain’s iconic Border Sauce packets." Brilliant!
- USA Today has named "I drink your milkshake" the movie catchphrase of the year. Really? We've heard that phrase, like, once before. Also, it makes no sense. But whatever.
- Sylvester Stallone has just signed a deal to both direct and star in two new action films. And they could very well end up being follow-ups to Rocky and Rambo. Sly! You just said you weren't going to do that! Damn it.
- With the holiday coming up frighteningly fast, a lot of websites are getting into the whole Valentine's Day thing. Moviefone offers us their picks for The 25 Best Romance Movies (via). Most of them are the smart, obvious choices (we especially approve of Casablanca, Moonstruck, Annie Hall, Dr. Zhivago, and The Princess Bride), but we'll never understand why anybody likes Wings of Desire. That is one of the most boring, confusing, stupid, pointless film we've ever seen. Anyways, Download Squad is celebrating the holiday, as well, with a list of "Valentine's Day gifts for the sex nerd(s) in your life." And Shiny Shiny has the "Top tenuous Valentine's Day presents." The fact that there are only five items on the list kind of ruins the pun, but whatever.
- The upcoming animated Star Wars series, Clone Wars, could see a theatrical release - but apparently only in the UK. Meanwhile, The Movie Blog has a trailer for the series that we don't remember seeing before.
- The early word is that the new Nightmare on Elm Street film will not star Robert Englund as Freddy Krueger.
- The very creepy and horrific trailer for M. Night Shyamalan's latest, The Happening, is now available online.
- A first look at the crystal skull from Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull.
- Spider-Man villain Venom is going to get his own stand-alone film.
- You should know, it's World Nutella Day today. (Via Sarah)
- Lucky Japanese Wii owners have already got their hands on Super Smash Bros. Brawl, but some of them are having trouble getting it to play, apparently because the lenses in their Wiis are dirty. Turns out the game is the first dual-layer Wii disc, which means even if all of your other games run perfectly, a dirty lens can have issues with this game. That's a little frightening...
- Remember that thing we posted a while back about the UK's Entertainment and Leisure Software Publishers Association saying that 90 percent of American Nintendo DS owners were were thought to be playing pirated games? Well, ELSPA denies ever having said anything of the kind. We thought that number seemed a little high...
- Yet another long-time editor for GameSpot has quit, again apparently due to the firing of editorial director Jeff Gerstmann.
- The first photos from NASA's Messenger probe seem to support the case that the planet Mercury is actually shrinking as it gets older. (Via)
- A picture and a video of a Rock Band guitar controller modded to actually have strings. Well, one string, anyway.
- A study done in Italy reveals that wearing high heels—as long as they're not too high—can boost a woman's sex life.
- Check out some of the cool, geeky art of Jimi Benedict. (Via)
