The best of the internet, squirted out in flavorful neon globules, just for you. Japanese magazine Famitsu has given Super Smash Bros. Brawl a rare perfect 40/40 review score. Seems like a good sign! Yesterday was the latest big tech event, after CES: MacWorld 2008. Nerd World sums up the whole thing in one post, but Shiny Shiny has lots of coverage, including posts about upgrades to Apple TV and the official announcement of movie......

The best of the internet, chopped into tiny bits and grilled for your enjoyment. While we were watching Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles last night (which, btw, was surprisingly good), we saw a cool Dell commercial with a kick-ass soundtrack, and a quick Google search turned up the video, and the important information that the awesome song is a new, original track from Devo! Sweet. Elijah Wood said some interesting things about the upcoming Hobbit......

A steaming hot pile of our favorite things from around the internets. The perfect Valentine's Day gift for that gamer you have a thing for: Chocolate Miis!

For the record, we think it's stupid, too.......

A tall, icy glass of our favorite internet junk, just for you. How about a deep-fried, cheese-filled burger patty made entirely of bacon? We'll take a couple over here, please! (Via) Cinematical points out that pretty much anything you might want to know about Cloverfield has now leaked online, so they're going to stop talking about it now.

The shapeless dough of the internet, formed into tasty pellets and baked to perfection, just for you. The Golden Globes have been sort of cancelled! They'll still be announcing the winners in an hour-long press conference on NBC, but no stars will be there and there won't be any parties or celebrations. It's all due to the writers' strike, of course. Speaking of the writers' strike, more and more of the independent studios are making......

The best of the internet, chopped into tiny bits and grilled for your enjoyment. A short, sobering science documentary on the effects of drugs on spiders. Tee hee. (Via) More YouTube fun: the trailer for what is supposedly a horror film, but what looks like just about the funniest comedy ever to us: Black Sheep. Yeah, you've just got to watch it.

A steaming hot pile of our favorite things from around the internets. Surprising exactly no one, Microsoft has announced that they will add gaming to the Zune by 2008. We might be vaguely interested in this device...if we didn't already have an iPod...and it wasn't made by Microsoft.

A tall, icy glass of our favorite internet junk, just for you. Supposedly, you can watch the first 4 episodes of "24" season 6 online, right now, before the show airs on TV. You can find them at the bottom of the list on this page. We haven't tried this, so we're not guaranteeing anything, but The Movie Blog seems to think it's for real. (Via) Wired has a totally fascinating article about the ongoing......

Wired has the photos, Gadget Lab already has......

The best of the internet, chopped into tiny bits and grilled for your enjoyment. How about some traditional Jewish hip-hop to start your afternoon off right? It's a good song, and a cool video! (Via AC) Man, the more casting news comes out about Tim Burton's Sweeney Todd, the cooler it sounds. Now we've got Alan Rickman as Judge Turpin. Woo hoo! Hooray for giant rabbits!
