Across the Ist-a-Verse
A steaming hot pile of our favorite things from around the internets.
- Uncomfortable plot summaries. Our favorites are the original Star Wars trilogy. "A New Hope: Religious extremist terrorists destroy government installation, killing thousands. Empire Strikes Back: Boy is abused by midget, kisses sister, attempts patricide. Return of the Jedi: Handicapped mass murderer kills septugenarian, is lauded." (Via)
- This is a wrong thing: "Public schools in Tennessee are filtering access to online websites discussing lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender issues, but are not blocking sites advocating 'reparative' therapy to change their lifestyle."
- To be fair, the cockpit does sound like the right place to have sex.
- Geek Dad lists 10 things you can do with your new DSi.
- Details on Sofia Coppola's next project.
- A new pic from, and a terribly exciting new trailer for, Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince.
- MuVChat is a new service being tested in Illinois that allows you to text your comments on a movie directly onto the movie screen.
- Eli Roth's future projects sound like a lot of fun.
- Movie titles through imagery. (Via)
- The founders of The Pirate Bay were found guilty and were sentenced to sentenced to one year in prison and fined $905,000 each.
- YouTube is now offering content from TV and movie studios.
- Twitzap sounds like a pretty cool Twitter client.
- Here's the trailer for Warren Ellis' G.I. Joe mini-series.
- How to make your own Bantha. (Via)
- A great Star Wars-themed Philly story: a member of the 501st got a kidney from a fellow member.
- Some awesome environmental-themed Star Wars shirts.
- Design a new Ben & Jerry's ice cream flavor and win a prize. (Via)
- LEGO Gundam, and other fun items.
- The first round of Guitar Hero: Smash Hits tracks has been revealed.
- Battling OctoMom trademarks. We are horrified.
- The Conduit will hit retail on June 23rd.
- Watch Morgan Webb and Jimmy Fallon play the new Wii Punch-Out!! while Ice-T and Elmo look on.
- A talk with ILM designers about how they made the new Enterprise. It seems weird that the effects company born out of Star Wars is designing for Star Trek. How about a crossover movie? Imagine the money you'd make!
- Joss Whedon talks with Sci Fi Wire about what it will take for Dollhouse to survive. Number one: people need to watch it. So... WATCH IT, PEOPLE! Seriously. It's good.
- Terminator Salvation will indeed carry a PG-13 rating, making it the first film in the franchise not to carry the R rating. Disappointing!
- The guy who wrote Pooh's Heffalump Movie, Evan Spiliotopoulos, has been hired to write Wanted 2. Um... what? We went on IMDB and checked his filmography to see if Heffalump was just a fluke, but in fact he writes that kind of stuff pretty much exclusively. WTF?
- "Eight police officers serving with Scotland's largest force listed their official religion as Jedi in voluntary diversity forms." Furthermore, "About 390,000 people listed their religion as Jedi in the 2001 Census for England and Wales. In Scotland the figure was a reported 14,000." Good to know their fire hasn't gone out of the universe!
- A first look at DC's Wednesday Comics, including John Arcudi and Lee Bermejo on Superman, and Brian Azzarello and Eduardo Risso on Batman. (Via)
- AT-AT X-ray.
- The Triforce shot.
- Snazzy faceless watch.
- It's the video game that literally drugs you!
