A steaming hot pile of our favorite things from around the internets.
- "For the first time, astronomers have taken a visual image of a multiple-planet solar system beyond our own." Very exciting.
- DARPA's finally going to get us our flying cars!
- New Watchmen trailer! We still have misgivings, but we have to admit, it looks really, really good.
- Game|Life takes a look at the long lines for Wrath of the Lich King, and then gives you four reasons to get at the end of one.
- Want to know what your friends think of the music, movies, books, restaurants, etc. that you're reading about on the web? No need to ask them! Just get the Glue Toolbar!
- If you're on a bike and the traffic light you just pulled up to is set to change only when it senses a car, you could have a long wait ahead of you. Unless you have the Traffic Loop Sensor Activator, a cool gadget invented by an engineer from Maryland. It "creates a brief, but strong, magnetic field that simulates the presence of a much larger conductor—say, the body of a car—and triggers the inductive sensor that lets the light know a vehicle is waiting."
- Wired takes a silly look back at themselves looking back at themselves. It's slightly confusing, but also funny.
- A gallery of the best fictional doomsday devices.
- Yet another James Bond-related list from Cinematical! This one is the seven best last lines.
- This is awesome: 100 movies spoiled in under 5 minutes.
- We've always thought The Incredibles had more in common with James Bond movies than superhero movies, and this clever fan-made video makes the connection that much clearer.
- The upcoming Canadian horror/comedy/rock 'n roll/vampire film Suck is sounding pretty awesome, as the cast now includes Malcolm McDowell, Jessica Pare, Dave Foley, Moby, Iggy Pop, Alice Cooper, Carol Pope, and Henry Rollins.
- The folks at Shiny Shiny present a gallery of the best concept gadgets they wish were real.
- With the first movie not even out yet, the sequels to Twilight are already in the works.
- Clint Eastwood is in talks to direct the supernatural thriller Hereafter. The plot details are being kept under wraps, but supposedly it'll be in the vein of The Sixth Sense.
- Paramount has hired Quantum of Solace director Marc Forster to helm a film adaptation of the book World War Z.
- You can make your own portable gaming platform, and games! But... it looks hard. We think we'll stick to stuff built by professionals.
- Yesterday was the 26 year anniversary of a Cherry Hill, New Jersey teen setting the world record high score in Asteroids, after a marathon three-day playing session. It's the longest standing video game high score in history.
- A poster for Darren Aronofsky's The Wrestler. Looking forward to this one.
- John McCain as Kirk and Barack Obama as Spock.
- If you're interested in Raving Rabbids TV Party, you might want to hit your local GameStop, as one lucky fellow apparently got a copy from the store, despite the fact that the game hasn't been officially released yet.
- A lengthy promotional video for Tatsunoko vs. Capcom.
- Burn-E is a short film included with the Wall-E DVD, and you can watch the whole thing online! Speaking of Wall-E, you can read the whole script online (pdf, via Angela). We love online!
- Umbrella Academy is one of our favorite new comic book series, and soon action figures will be available!
- This teddy bear/centaur is more than a little disturbing.
