Whiz of the Web: Tuesday Torpedoes

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

  • If you watch TV at all, you've probably seen those rather odd new Coldwell Banker commercials which feature portraits of the company founders talking to each other. Well, as all things must these days, the portraits have a blog, which lately chronicled their visit to Philadelphia. The world is a strange place... (Via Megan)
  • Um... what?
  • We're a tad excited about Warren Ellis' upcoming steampunk graphic novella, Aetheric Mechanics. If you're excited, too, and want to spread the love, check out the cool teaser widget.
  • Spielberg will start shooting a (apparently long-awaited) biopic of Abraham Lincoln in early 2009, after finishing his Tintin movie.
  • There's some context to this, but it's really not important: pictures of Megan Fox naked and wet!!! (Via)
  • War, Inc. (or, as we like to think of it, Grosse Pointe Blank 2) looks pretty fantastic. Just check out the trailer.
  • Game|Life talks GTA IV, and points out the dangers of driving after an extended playing session (we meant to mention in our review that there are similar dangers involved with viewing Speed Racer).
  • Game|Life also took a look at a lot of the new WiiWare games; two of the more interesting ones appear to be Defend Your Castle, and LostWinds.
  • A new poster is out for City of Ember. We don't remember hearing about this one before, but it's coming in October, it's got a pretty impressive cast (including Bill Murray, Tim Robbins, and Martin Landau, with Tom Hanks producing), and the story sounds really fascinating (the generators in the underground city of Ember are failing, and two teens must race against time to unlock the mystery of the city's existence and help the citizens escape before the lights go out forever).
  • In other poster news, we only just heard there was going to be a sequel to Donnie Darko, and already there's a poster, as well as a few more plot details. And, in case you were wondering, no, Richard Kelly (director of the original film) is not involved with this one at all. After having seen Southland Tales, we're pretty sure that's actually a good thing.
