- Oh no! What have they done to our beloved Clue? Now there are nine rooms, nine weapons (and no lead pipe), and the house is modernized (apparently the new version is more like a mansion from Cribs). Argh! (Via Sarah)
- Forbes lists the top earning celebrity chefs. We can't believe that prick Bobby Flay makes so much damn money. And man are we tired of Rachael Ray. (Via Sarah)
- A while back the news was that Tom Cruise was going to star in the espionage thriller Edwin A. Salt, but now apparently Angelina Jolie has taken his place. We're not sure how that works, but we're cool with it! In fact, we'd like to replace him with her in all of his movies.
- Ever since we saw the brilliant high school crime noir Brick, we've been wondering what its creator, Rian Johnson, would do next. Looks like first up is a con man flick called The Brothers Bloom, due to come out on October 24th. Even more exciting, his next project after that will be a film called Looper, "a dark, violent, time travel-themed sci-fi story in the vein of Philip K. Dick. Johnson compares it to the first Terminator: relatively small-scale, character-driven sci-fi with time travel used as a plot device." We will begin rubbing our hands together in gleeful anticipation now.

- AMD claims its new ATI Radeon HD 4870 X2 is the fastest graphics card ever made, with 2.4 teraFLOPS of processing power. It's also the first card to support AMD's new effort, "Cinema 2.0," which promises to bring photorealistic graphics to your PC.

- It could have been executed better (as the creator himself has apparently pointed out on his blog), but you cannot deny the genius that is the Barack Roll. (Via)
- Wii Fanboy is going wild over Mega Man 9, with links to video clips, and details on three boss fights.
