The shapeless dough of the internet, formed into tasty pellets and baked to perfection, just for you.
- More end of year lists! How we love them. First up is Mr. Skin's Top 20 Celebrity Nude Scenes of 2008 (via; it's actually mostly safe for work, as there's no actual nudity on the page, but keep in mind the language is rather... florid—plus there's multiple ads for Playboy). Then we have the most popular movie trailers of 2008. On the video game front there's the top 5 portable games, the top 5 PS3 games, and the top 5 Wii games of 2008.
- FluidTunes is an app that lets you control iTunes using something like the touchscreen interface of the iPhone and the iPod Touch, except it uses a webcam to track the movements of your hands, head, or feet.
- Cinematical has a fun collection of movie news tidbits: the Tron sequel might be called TRZ; George Miller says he's officially off Justice League, and that it will be recast with bigger stars if and when it does actually happen; Rob Zombie will be back in the director's chair for Halloween 2, and might even start shooting as early as March; there's a plot summary for that upcoming Keanu Reeves/David Fincher project Chef which only increases our confusion about the movie: it sounds like some horrible inspirational romcom. WTF?!
- Somehow we doubt Vagina Hero will ever become a real game, but it is an amusing idea.
- Superman will have a cameo in the upcoming Green Lantern film. Cool!
- We knew Nintendo was making a profit on every Wii sold, but how much? An analyst says $6. Meanwhile, the Wii was the most-searched-for item across all of eBay on Black Friday. Poor deluded eBay shoppers paid an average price of $349 for the console, too. Ouch. Oh, and the second most-searched item? Wii Fit. Nintendo is going to have a merry Christmas indeed!
- Super Punch presents Christmas Link Roundup Part 2.
- Spout lists 10 one-hit wonders that got their brief popularity thanks to appearances in movies.
- Guillermo del Toro was apparently getting bored having only 3 million things to do, so he's added directing a re-adaptation of The Witches to his already gigantic workload. It will be done entirely with stop-motion animation. Awesome.
- If that Alien cookie jar from yesterday still wasn't a cool enough gift for the movie geek on your list, how about a talking Frank the Bunny figure? (Via)
- An amusing stop-motion animated film which takes the form of a faux trailer for an adventure epic starring pencils, pens, and rulers.
- Looks like a Planet of the Apes prequel is in the works.
- The HBO series Rome could be continued as a movie which would tie up all the loose ends left behind by the show's sudden cancellation.
- The Angry Aliens Productions website tells us that the bunnies will soon be reenacting Hellraiser, Star Trek II, and Twilight. We can't wait!
- We weren't aware this hadn't already happened, but apparently the Sci Fi Channel just gave Caprica the green light. We'd've been pretty pissed if they hadn't!
- Flash Forward sounds like it could be an interesting show, and the talented and seemingly ubiquitous David S. Goyer will direct and executive produce the pilot, which seems like a good sign. It's about "the chaos that ensues after everyone in the world blacks out for 2 minutes and 17 seconds and has a mysterious vision of the future that changes lives forever."
- Sci Fi Wire has clips of, and details on, the bonus materials that will appear on the three-disc Blu-ray edition of Prince Caspian. In other Narnia news, Nerd World has an interesting and amusing post about a book on the fantasy series, and the stormy relationship between Tolkien and C.S. Lewis.
- Ray Stevenson (the latest guy to play the Punisher) just joined the cast of Book of Eli.
- Some concept art by Ralph McQuarrie for the original Battlestar Galactica series. (Via)
- Woah, Olivia's got a younger sister? Since when?
- Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles: Echoes of Time will be released on both Nintendo DS and Wii, allowing home and portable players to adventure together. Crazy.
- The dude behind Free iTunes Downloads has a new site: Free Rock Band Downloads!
- Wii Fanboy chose a very weird topic on their latest Top 5 list: infections. It's still about video games, though.
- An Alien/Mickey Mouse mash-up. Hideously cute!
- A couple of insane LEGO creations.
