Whiz of the Web: Tuesday Torpedoes

The shapeless dough of the internet, formed into tasty pellets and baked to perfection, just for you.

• We have a release date for Terminator Salvation: The Future Begins, and it is May 22, 2009. Production on the film starts in New Mexico on May 5th of this year.
• Director Peter Segal says although production on Billy Batson and the Legend of Shazam was delayed by the writers' strike, the movie should still happen.
• The Oscars are always too long, which is why it's handy when someone boils the entire ceremony down to just a minute. We present to you the 2008 Oscars in 60 seconds. Speaking of the Oscars, some people are upset that Brad Renfro was left out of the In Memoriam montage. Apparently the Academy's explanation is that they simply can't include everyone in that segment, but he does seem like an odd person to have left out. Finally, according to Nielsen's preliminary ratings, this year's ceremony came in 14 percent lower than the least-watched ceremony ever. Ouch. Cinematical suggests the way to fix the ceremony is to include more categories that your average movie-goer is interested in.
• GDC is over, but that doesn't mean we can't still talk about it! Game|Life wraps things up with a ton of videos, while Joystiq nearly got their hands on Puzzle Quest: Galactrix (at least they got some pictures), then retold the conference through food, and finally took a look back at the highlights from the conference.
• Another geeky conference/convention that recently ended is San Francisco's WonderCon, and NerdWorld has sifted through the news that came out of it and provided us with a run-down of the most interesting tidbits.
• The Movie Blog seems to have found a new poster for Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull. In related news, check out the poster for Morgan Spurlock's upcoming Where in the World Is Osama Bin Laden? We can't say we're a big fan. It seems pretty... inappropriate.
