The best of the internet, chopped into tiny bits and grilled for your enjoyment.
- Chris at the Invincible Super-Blog illustrates, in his own inimitable fashion, the shocking new ending to Watchmen. And while we're talking Watchmen, here's why you should care about the companion DVDs. The latest viral video is an amusing '80s MTV parody. Watch a shot-for-shot remake of the trailer using frames from the iTunes motion comic. And finally, the International Society of Supervillains takes us on a tour of some of the more horrifying Watchmen merchandise.
- We heard there was some kind of award show on last night. You can check out recaps of the festivities on Underwire and Cinematical, or, if you really want to relive the whole thing, you can read Cinematical's three part live-blog. Here's a look at the 2009 movie preview that followed the telecast. Keep in mind the Oscars weren't the only award show this weekend; there was also the Independent Spirit Awards. Check out the winners and see some photos. And don't forget the Razzies!
- This weekend's Geek Daily had some fun tidbits about the opening scene of Iron Man 2 (it's Tony puking in a toilet!), the questionable changes made to Deadpool for the Wolverine movie (he's not mutilated enough!), and a Battlestar Galactica movie based on the original '70s series (to which the proper response is, "but why?").
- A password-protected page on Legendary Pictures' website lists the upcoming sequel to Superman Returns as Superman Unleashed. Did he need to be unleashed? Who leashed him?
- Underwire has collected some fun behind-the-scenes featurettes for Star Trek, Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen, and Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince.
- A freaking hilarious Dick's Sporting Goods commercial featuring Jimmy Rollins.
- Fun collection of Superman logos.
- This is a horrifying story that will make you think twice about bouncing up and down on your office chair. In fact, you might even consider standing for the rest of the day. (Via @Agent_M)
- A fascinating tribute to soft drinks past (via @Agent_M). We think we'll skip the soda made from cow urine, though.
- Neil Gaiman himself was amused by this list of the top 5 least likely Neil Gaiman comics projects. (Via @neilhimself)
- A very disturbing image of J. Jonah Jameson. It's theoretically safe for work, but you might want to wait until nobody is around before clicking anyway.
- Felicia Day posts a handy guide for figuring out who to follow on Twitter.
- Wall Street Fighter 4 is an amusing video that uses the new video game to parody recent economic events. (Via @Agent_M)
- The bacon cheese pizza burger. Mmmm... (Via @BeaucoupKevin)
- Christopher Walken does Puss in Boots. Very, very strange. (Via @BillCorbett)
- Aww, look at cute li'l Che. We particularly like the way he's punching that lion.
- A nice little trailer for Ed Brubaker's upcoming web series, Angel of Death.
- Wired presents a photo history of the cell phone.
- Laser-powered aircraft may or may not be the future of flight.
- A couple more reviews of Halo Wars.
- Researchers are looking to weaponize ball lightning. Good lord.
- Now this whole Tomb Raider thing is just getting silly.
- A Wii-compatible SNES controller is now available.
- Nintendo says it really wants indie developers for the Wii and the DSi.
- A new trailer for The Chronicles of Riddick: Assault on Dark Athena.
- Fox has chosen to withhold Street Fighter: The Legend of Chun-Li from early critical screenings, so if you had any hope that it might somehow be a good movie, you may now give that hope a quick and merciful death.
- Some new screenshots from the Wii version of the upcoming Ghostbusters video game and from Adventure Island: The Beginning.
- Underwire has some pretty cool new and old tracks for your listening pleasure.
- A new ad for GTA: Chinatown Wars.
- An interesting look at the design process of the Nintendo DSi.
- A handful of DC characters get the Simpsons treatment over at Springfield Punx.
- Okay, this is super lame: it turns out the new Constructicon toys don't turn into robots!! They can either be vehicles, or components for Devastator. (Via)
- A clockwork horse and a steampunk Abraham Lincoln.
- Look out! Giant tin soldiers!
- A random awesome picture of Godzilla. (Via)
- A sweet Guitar Hero scarf, and an interview with the creator.
- More fun video gaming statistics. Six million new people started playing video games last year! More good news for the people in the video game business: that California game law failed.
- Publishers don't pay attention to reviews when making movie tie-in games. That explains a lot.
- The ratings for Dollhouse and Terminator did not get better last week. Sigh. C'mon people! You need to watch these shows! They're good! And we want to see more of them!
- The Dark Knight has become the fourth film to take in more than $1 billion in worldwide box office.
- Eclipse, the third Twilight movie, already has a release date: June 30, 2010.
- Aaah! Human vending machine!

How long before somebody does a mash-up of all the awesome faces Danny Boyle was making last night?
That idea goes beyond "awesome" and into the territory of "necessary." My personal favorite was the "I can't feel my face!"
