The shapeless dough of the internet, formed into tasty pellets and baked to perfection, just for you. Djimon Hounsou revealed at a press junket that he’ll be starring in his dream project soon, which he described only as a comic book trilogy. Could he be playing Luke Cage? Black Panther? Or does it have something to do with Tintin? We'll just have to wait and see. What would it look like if Saul Bass did......

The best of the internet, chopped into tiny bits and grilled for your enjoyment. MoviesOnline has a ton of clips up from the upcoming Neil Marshall film, Doomsday. (Via) The next group in Hollywood we have to worry about striking is the actors. They're represented by the Screen Actors' Guild, who for some reason don't even want to start negotiating with producers until April. So another union, the American Federation of Television and Radio Artists,......

The shapeless dough of the internet, formed into tasty pellets and baked to perfection, just for you. Cracked offers a horrifying (and hilarious) vision of what next year's Oscar nominees could be like if the writer's strike doesn't end (via). Meanwhile, Taco Bell has launched a contest on its website that offers striking WGA members a chance to win free food for a year (valued at $250) by "injecting fun and fresh bits of wisdom......

The best of the internet, squirted out in flavorful neon globules, just for you. Cinematical staffers offer their thoughts and memories of Heath Ledger, in the wake of the young actor's shocking, tragic death yesterday afternoon. The inevitable parody of Tom Cruise's recently revealed super-crazy pro-Scientology video, this one starring Jerry O'Connell. Pretty funny. (Via Jill) Scott Adams unveiled a pretty cool new Dilbert widget on his blog yesterday. A highly detailed 14-inch tall action......

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, squirted out in flavorful neon globules, just for you. We've still got quite a few year-end lists and awards to get through, so settle in, people! First The Movie Blog points out that a Moviefone poll has selected the worst performances of 2007, with Lindsay Lohan "winning" for her role in I Know Who Killed Me. Meanwhile, Slate has a different kind of top ten list for us: the Bush......

A steaming hot pile of our favorite things from around the internets. As we did in our news post, let's get all the holiday-related stuff out of the way first: just in time for Thanksgiving, Cinematical finally announced the winners of their Halloween costume contest (definitely not our favorites, but we never got around to voting, so we guess it's our own fault). They also have a list of Seven Movie Characters They'd Hate to......

A steaming hot pile of our favorite things from around the internets. Blender has annoyed us with their lists before, but we can't help but post something that claims to be The 100 Greatest Rock & Roll Movies of All Time. And we do like a lot of their picks in the top ten (even if they did include the horrendously bad, incredibly overrated Purple Rain). Could DC be planning to kill off Bruce Wayne/Batman??......

A steaming hot pile of our favorite things from around the internets. Download Squad presents Five places to download free movies (legally!). In a similar vein, Wired's How to Wiki offers a list of sites where you can get free music - some legal, some not. Blabberize is a fun idea for a site. Use it to create and view talking pictures. You just upload a photo of a person or animal, use the capture......

The shapeless dough of the internet, formed into tasty pellets and baked to perfection, just for you. You might have heard about a little game called Halo 3 getting released late last night/early this morning. Game|Life has the details on the midnight release party at a Best Buy in Manhattan, while Joystiq covers a non-launch in Boston and an actual, celebrity-infested launch in LA. Beware, however! Rumor is that the limited edition packaging for the......

The best of the internet, chopped into tiny bits and grilled for your enjoyment. GameStop's merger with EB opens the door to the possibility of GameStop carrying video games rated as Adults Only, as EB has carried such games in the past. Apparently it's something GameStop will be considering on a case-by-case basis. Yet more posts on the Tokyo Game Show! This time it's just the important stuff: the maids and butlers helping people out......

A tall, icy glass of our favorite internet junk, just for you. This is a pretty neat find: a series of illustrations from a 1947 issue of Life Magazine wherein some cartoonists were asked to draw their most famous characters, once normally, and then again with a blindfold on. The results are fascinating. (Via) To celebrate the impending release of The Simpsons Movie, Shiny Shiny dug up a link to Great Gadgets of the Simpsons,......

A tall, icy glass of our favorite internet junk, just for you. Philly is world famous... for being the home of that one guy who wants you to order your cheesesteak in ENGLISH ONLY PLEASE. Sigh. (Via Jason) Cracked provides us with an amusing list: 9 Superhero Powers That Would Be More Trouble Than They're Worth. (Via) Wired asked Transformers fans to send in cool photos of their beloved toys, and the result is this......

A tall, icy glass of our favorite internet junk, just for you. Frank Darabont might adapt Stephen King's The Dark Tower into a movie series?! Now that's some good geek news. Here's a list we obviously couldn't not post: Fifteen Geek Movies to See Before You Die. We could quibble with the inclusion of Darkman (never understood why people like that movie - it's just really bad!), but the rest of the list is pretty......

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. (Via) Sundance 2007 is coming! Cinematical has picked out the films they're interested......

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. (Download Squad also compares the Gates and Jobs keynote speeches, and finds Gates' wanting - again, no surprise there!) Star Wars IV reinterpreted given the events of......

The best of the internet, squirted out in flavorful neon globules, just for you. Time to kick the CES to the corner, because yesterday was Macworld, and Jobs dropped some bombs. Download Squad has a handy roundup of the big stuff, the biggest of the big being, of course, the long-awaited iPhone, which looks to be just about the coolest, craziest multi-purpose techno-gizmo ever in the world. Wired has the photos, Gadget Lab already has......

A steaming hot pile of our favorite things from around the internets. Since they got their new crop of bloggers, Table of Malcontents on Wired has become rather disturbing and raunchy. So of course, we continue to read it religiously. Some recent links we found interesting from them: naked fencing (borderline NSFW), Christmas pin-ups (a list of links, with NSFW ones labeled as such; via), and the Tiny Animals on Fingers Flickr group, which is......
