Whiz of the Web: Wednesday Whiz-Up
The best of the internet, squirted out in flavorful neon globules, just for you.

- Terrell Owens just may have shown up in the background of a photo from a hardcore porn shoot (which is, disappointingly, pretty safe for work). (Via Sarah)
- Penny Arcade points out that there are some things you really just don't need to put on Twitter.
- Don't mess with the Goddamn Batman. He knows lawyers.
- Heh heh. Apparently Uwe Boll got in touch with Blizzard about getting the rights to do a World of Warcraft movie, and Blizzard said we're not selling the rights, and especially not to you! Word.
- The movie Dream of the Romans is filming in Philly right now, and somebody sent Geekadelphia a pic of Jeff Daniels from the set. Hey, why didn't anybody send us a picture?!
- Frank Miller wants to direct a film adaptation of his own early '90s comic miniseries Hard Boiled (no relation to John Woo's film).
- A French hacker managed to build a clone of the original Famicom (or NES) into an old NES Super Mario Bros. cartridge. Brilliant!
- Michael Bay has reiterated that there's a disinformation campaign getting to work on the subject of Transformers 2, and that in fact the only true thing that has come out so far about the movie is that it's filming in Philly.
- As part of a promotion for Mario Kart Wii, Nintendo is sending a man dressed in a Mario suit to New York City on Thursday (that's tomorrow) to hail cabs for people, and pay for their rides in advance. Awesome.
- Scott Adams suggests a new format for movie reviews. Could he save the struggling film critics??
- Lev Grossman of Nerd World got to see Speed Racer early, and he says "it frickin' rocked." We'll see about that, Grossman! Keep an eye out for our own review of the film, coming to the site in the near future.
- Oh, man, this is such a great story: some guy in England drank most of a box of wine, put on a cape and a black trash bag, and attacked the founder of a Jedi church, screaming "Darth Vader!" (Via)
- Incredible Hulk lays the groundwork for an Avengers movie. Woo hoo!!
- It seems really boring at first, but definitely finish watching this video. It's very funny.
- Nintendo Wii Fanboy suggests other vehicles alternative vehicles and controllers for Mario Kart Wii. (Via)
- Enjoy a Celebration of Vintage and Retro Design. (Via)
- Ooh, check it out! The title track from My Morning Jacket's upcoming album, free to download!
- Apparently Philly cops are really serious about that whole jurisdiction thing. And Philly entrepreneurs were really serious about capitalizing on primary fever.
- Check out The 10 Most Badass Geeks in Film/TV. Pretty good choices. (Via)
- Mmmm... Rickrolls...
- Watch the new trailer for Prince Caspian, and then mourn to learn that the Narnia Chronicles films may stop at only three.
- The secret to making your own Judd Apatow movie.
- OK, we still don't like Zack Snyder as a director, and we still think Watchmen is going to suck, but this contest he's running for the movie is really cool. He's asking Watchmen fans to enter a new contest and submit commercials for Veidt Enterprises. The best commercials will actually appear in the movie. (Via)
