A tall, icy glass of our favorite internet junk, just for you.

- In response to all the buzz over the botched box art for the Wii version of Okami, Capcom is offering to replace the art with one of three different designs. Go here to get yours.
- Apparently, the Lost Boys sequel is going directly to DVD (boo!), and you can see the cover art for said DVD here.
- Speaking of DVDs, apparently the deluxe Kill Bill DVD release (which will be called the "Whole Bloody Affair" and will have both movies on it) will include a new story about one of the film's characters in the form of an anime intermission.
- You can check out a TV spot about Will Smith's upcoming superhero comedy, Hancock, on YouTube right now. There's plenty of new footage here that gives away a lot more of the story, but it still looks awesome to us. (One note: the video is actually not nearly as long as it at first appears to be; there's a bunch of blank space at the end, apparently to "help YouTube process HD audio and video.") (Via)
- The real intro to Grand Theft Auto IV apparently leaked online, and was promptly pulled, although of course it lives on at various file sharing sites. There's also a rumor that the game's entire code is available online.
- Inspired by the Mario cab hailing thing, Game|Life takes a look at a couple of other upcoming PR stunts, including one where you can play Mario Kart Wii with Jason Priestley.
- If there's one thing that the internet encourages, it's being a complete asshole.
- Nintendo visited Wired the other day and dropped some knowledge on them. For instance, the average Wii in America sits on store shelves for only an hour before getting sold (if you're still looking for one yourself, consider hitting your local Toys R Us this Sunday). When WiiWare rolls out in the US, a free Nintendo Channel will also show up on your Wii offering downloadable DS titles and information about the company's games. Also, the US WiiWare will have a staggered game release schedule, instead of having everything up front and then a long dry spell.
- Key figures in the development of the Metroid Prime series have left Retro Studios, possibly in order to start their own game development company.
- Researchers at Penn State University have developed a next generation CAPTCHA system that should be harder for bots to beat.
- Fox has selected Brian McGreevy and Lee Shipman to write a re-imagining of Brian De Palma's 1978 supernatural thriller The Fury. Sweet.
- Guillermo del Toro says he'd make a third Hellboy movie, but that would be the last one for him.
- Cinematical's ten most anticipated films of the summer.
- The Swedish Film Institute is going to fund a series of mobile phone-shot porn shorts which will be turned into a film called Dirty Diaries. Now that is one cool national film institute.
- Universal is suing to stop all further distribution of Witless Protection, including the DVD release scheduled for June 10! Sadly, they're not doing it to protect people from wasting their money on a horribly unfunny film; in fact, they're mad about the fact that Yaphet Kotto's character in the film rips off one he played in Midnight Run.
- The set of the new Bond film in Italy really seems to be cursed. (Via Jill)
