A steaming hot pile of our favorite things from around the internets.
- Hilarious Onion video with the headline "Experts Agree Giant, Razor-Clawed Bioengineered Crabs Pose No Threat." And while we're talking about the Onion here's a fantastic article about T.O. featuring plenty of NSFW language. (Via)
- First look at Tim Burton's Alice in Wonderland!
- Some Watchmen gags we somehow missed: an incredibly inappropriate, and incredibly funny, Watchmen fruit pie ad; an amusing marquee; the Watchmen tour, featuring Malin Akerman; and finally, for some very dark humor, five ways Watchmen could have a sequel.
- A really impressive fan-made Samus Aran costume.
- Warner Bros. is planning on a big screen film adaptation of Stephen King's It. There's already a perfectly serviceable TV movie adaptation, which was able to fit in a lot of the book thanks to the fact that it was split into multiple parts. We have to admit to being vaguely curious what they could do with a full-on film version of the book, but how will they cover even half of the novel's content?
- M. Night Shyamalan's The Last Airbender has added some more actors to its cast, and this time not one of them is white. Progress!
- Cinematical celebrates seven way late sequels, and great supporting actors.

- A metareview of MadWorld.
- It appears that the Hoff used his celebrity cred to get his daughter a Wii. "Look, man, I've got KITT idling out front; just put the console in the bag!"
- This is cool: student-created DS games will be available for download in Japan.

- The upcoming Ghostbusters video game originally had voice recognition commands, but they were removed because they weren't a good fit. (Which we're guessing means they didn't work all that well.)
- Vin Diesel is apparently hard at work on a "massively multiplayer online game where you create an avatar that lives in the reality of Hannibal Barca, the Punic Wars and life in 200 B.C."
