I Have a Baby and Ten Dollars...Now What?
A tall, icy glass of our favorite internet junk, just for you.
- Sarah Palin has said whether she runs for office again is dependent on God. So 23/6 is providing us with some handy prayers to try to keep her in Alaska. (Via Sarah)
- Get Your War On explains what a Barack Obama presidency will really mean. Truly hilarious. We are especially amused by the part about the "special mustache." (Via)
- We still can't quite get over the conviction that this is all just some enormous joke, but apparently Ridley Scott will really be directing a film adaptation of Monopoly, and it will have "a futuristic sheen along the lines of his iconic Blade Runner." But... what?
- Google knows when you're sleeping. Google knows when you're awake. And Google knows when you're going to get the flu.
- This behind-the-scenes featurette on Monsters vs. Aliens makes the movie look like a ton of fun.
- The entire screenplay to The Dark Knight (pdf). (Via Angela)
- Mike Mignola talks about a couple of exciting upcoming miniseries he's working on set in the Hellboy universe, centering on a Victorian-era occult detective (already introduced in previous Hellboy-verse comics) named Sir Edward Grey. The miniseries will all be published under the title Witchfinder.
- Joystiq was on hand for a Wrath of the Lich King launch party in San Francisco. Apparently the launch has been very hard on GameStop's credit card servers—to the extent that you might be better off paying with cash (via).
- Red Eagle Games has optioned the rights to create video games based on the late Robert Jordan's Wheel of Time series, including an MMO. Apparently the studio's execs are also producing a film adaptation.
- In the right light, this story could be funny, but mostly it just scares the crap out of us: the people of the Maldives are saving up to buy a new homeland, as climate change and rising sea levels could mean their islands will disappear beneath the waves. (Via Jill)
- In a similar vein, check out this trailer for 2012.
- Cinematical continues its James Bond-themed lists with one that features seven ways they almost killed 007.
- The character of Sybill Trelawney was already written out of the film version of Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince, and now it sounds like Emma Thompson is done with the part for good, preferring to make another Nanny McPhee movie rather than another Harry Potter movie.
- Should there be a Magneto movie (and it sounds like it's still a bit of a question), we now know more about what the plot would be like.
- Here's a cool, and kind of creepy, Toshiba commercial that's being billed as a "timesculpture."
- Eileen De Bont, a 37-year-old dental nurse from Denbigshire, has put her name up for auction on eBay. By which we mean, the winning bidder will be able to give Eileen any new name he/she likes, and Eileen will go and get it legally changed. Half of the money raised will be donated to charity, with the rest going to Christmas presents for her children. (Via)
- Apple's marketing guy says the iPod Touch and iPhone are the future of gaming. Woah, there. Slow down, mister. Let's not get carried away.
- Doug Jones talks about his current and upcoming projects, and his hopes for possible roles in a few high profile Guillermo del Toro films.
- New Coraline poster!
- Showtime is developing an hour-long project from Stan Lee that focuses on a gay superhero. It's based on the book Hero by Perry Moore.
- "The Wii version of Donkey Kong Jungle Beat will feature a host of different tweaks and upgrades, plus brand new levels." Unfortunately, it will also be missing the bongo drums controller.
- A couple of fun videos popped up on the Free iTunes Downloads blog: a behind-the-scenes clip from Hellboy II, and an exclusive clip from Twilight.
- Underwire reviews Quantum of Solace. It's another thumbs up.
- Apparently they're going to film a live-action episode of Aqua Teen Hunger Force and they're looking for someone to play Carl. You can submit your application by uploading a video of yourself that's less than 30 seconds long. Just remember to do it before 12/1. You can also look at other peoples' videos. This frightens us, because we were really kind of hoping no one like Carl actually existed in real life. (Via)
- Popular Science has chosen the Balance Board and Wii Fit as one of the top 100 inventions of 2008.
- This metareview of The Clone Wars: Lightsaber Duels is not very encouraging.
- Another small company has stepped up and claimed patent infringement against Nintendo for its Wii Remote.
- Some more details on Tatsunoko vs. Capcom, including the news that it includes a Viewtiful Joe minigame.
- This chestburster T-shirt would be pretty creepy anyway, but it just makes it so much worse that the little fella is so cute and happy.
- The many faces of Ryu (via). Also, an amusing trailer for the ridiculously titled Super Street Fighter II Turbo HD Remix.
