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

• Sony Electronics Inc. and the National Cable and Telecommunications Association have signed an agreement with a group of cable providers (including Comcast) that will allow viewers to get rid of their set-top boxes, but still receive advanced "two-way" cable services (like pay-per-view movies). Awesome. We hate those damn boxes. (Via Sarah)
• Did you know that there is a World Superhero Registry, listing all credible, confirmed active real-life superheroes? Well, now you do. (Via Stephanie)
• The Penny Arcade boys consider the just-announced news that the second Hobbit movie will be an original story and, as usual, perfectly capture the conflicting geek reaction in three simple panels.
• Batman and Iron Man have a small argument about their respective movies, followed by a hilarious cameo.

• SarahJessicaParkerLooksLikeAHorse.com. It's not exactly flattering, but it is funny. And in a strange way, we feel like this is the kind of site that the internet is for. (Via Eric)
• Walt Disney Studios has formed Kingdom Comics with one of the goals being to re-imagine and rejuvenate movies from the Disney vault.
• The newest TV spot for Hancock makes the movie look a lot more dramatic and heroic than previous ads—and it also doesn't diminish our enthusiasm one bit.

• Harrison Ford says he wouldn't mind revisiting the character of Jack Ryan. We wouldn't mind, either!
• The Weinstein Company has picked up U.S. theatrical, DVD and television rights to the 2004 German film Operation Valykrie, which is a dramatization of exactly the same story being told by Bryan Singer's upcoming 2009 release, Valkyrie. D'oh.
• The Robocop remake could end up being a 3D movie.
• J.K. Rowling wrote an 800-word outline of a prequel to the Harry Potter series. It's just one of 13 story outlines written for an auction by famed authors. So don't get your hopes up, Rowling doesn't plan to actually write the thing; it's all for charity.
• Michael Bay's Platinum Dunes is being asked to turn Hasbro's Ouija board into a movie. Wha?!
• Shirley Manson, lead singer of the band Garbage, will have a regular role in the next season of Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles as Catherine Weaver, the chief executive of a cutting-edge high-tech company.

• Supposedly inspired by the success of Indiana Jones IV, Paramount has green-lit a fourth installment of Beverly Hills Cop that will once again star Eddie Murphy as Axel Foley, with Brett Ratner directing. But... we... gah! Does anybody think that's a good idea?! Oh, and apparently Ratner might also be directing a movie adaptation of the video game God of War. Blargh.
• Some people in Santa Fe who are apparently have a sensitivity to various electromagnetic fields are saying that WiFi in public buildings violates the Americans with Disabilities Act. But Download Squad doubts that people can actually be "allergic" to WiFi.
• Check out Activision CEO Bobby Kotick showing off Guitar Hero World Tour at the All Things Digital 6 conference.
