A tall, icy glass of our favorite internet junk, just for you. An amusing music video from Mindless Self Indulgence, directed by Jhonen Vasquez. (Via) A recent Wii update closed up a loophole that allowed hackers to run homebrew software through Twilight Princess, but apparently hackers have already broken the new code and opened up the loophole again.

A tall, icy glass of our favorite internet junk, just for you. The teaser poster for Oliver Stone's W highlights some of our president's more infamous verbal gaffes. Apparently a feud has already begun between Abel Ferrara, maker of the original Bad Lieutenant, and Werner Herzog, who's doing the remake.

The best of the internet, squirted out in flavorful neon globules, just for you. Latino Review has a detailed run-down of what they say is the script for David Goyer's Supermax, that upcoming film about Green Arrow where he gets thrown into a prison for supervillains and has to make alliances with them in order to get out.

A tall, icy glass of our favorite internet junk, just for you. After it came out that seven recipes listed on John McCain's campaign website as being "Cindy's Recipes" had actually been copied verbatim from the Food Network, the campaign blamed an intern, saying he'd "been dealt with" and that "we took away his zero pay." Heh heh heh. Meanwhile, a disturbing practice called microtargeting tries to connect consumer habits, like how people eat, with......

The best of the internet, squirted out in flavorful neon globules, just for you. Supposedly Indy 4 is now locked down with a running time of 140 minutes. A possible plot spoiler for the next Star Trek can be found here. It's an interesting idea... Apparently Midnight Meat Train will be getting a theatrical release after all—just not in Canada.

The shapeless dough of the internet, formed into tasty pellets and baked to perfection, just for you. Today is Tax Day. If you're not feeling so jolly about paying your income taxes, Irving Berlin and Danny Kaye can help (via Jill). If you're still depressed after that, just go get yourself a free donut at Dunkin' Donuts; they're giving one out today to anybody who buys a coffee. Speaking of taxes, we're depressed that digital......

A steaming hot pile of our favorite things from around the internets. We still say Hellboy was a very disappointing film. But this new, longer trailer for Hellboy II along with these new pics from the film are starting to make us feel like the sequel is not going to be disappointing at all. It looks like it's a Pan's Labyrinth/Hellboy crossover movie, actually. We can't wait. Check out this totally mesmerizing stop-motion animated film.......

The shapeless dough of the internet, formed into tasty pellets and baked to perfection, just for you. It is, if you hadn't noticed, the first day of April, which is a day on which it is traditional to prank people, lie to them, and just generally wage war on them psychologically and physically. We promise not to do any of these things to you, less because we respect you too much as people, and more......

The shapeless dough of the internet, formed into tasty pellets and baked to perfection, just for you. The new poster for Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull is online, and it looks awesome. When we start having previews for previews, we may have gone too far. Still, this ad for the premiere of the Hulk trailer is kind of neat. If you want the specifics, the trailer will air tomorrow night at......

A tall, icy glass of our favorite internet junk, just for you. The upcoming print edition of Empire Magazine has a couple of cool new pictures from The Incredible Hulk.

The shapeless dough of the internet, formed into tasty pellets and baked to perfection, just for you. David Murray, who'd been set to star as Destro in the upcoming G.I. Joe movie, apparently had some troubles with his Visa, and couldn't make it into the States in time for the start of shooting. So now Chris Eccleston will get the role. Which is actually pretty cool. Doctor Destro! Word came out a while back that......

A tall, icy glass of our favorite internet junk, just for you. Even though Will Arnett's performance as the voice of K.I.T.T. in the upcoming Knight Rider TV movie was already done and in the can, he's now been replaced with Val Kilmer due to a conflict of interest: Arnett has done voicework on GMC truck commercials for over a decade, and K.I.T.T. is a Ford Mustang. This sounds like a joke, but it's apparently......

The best of the internet, chopped into tiny bits and grilled for your enjoyment. Nerd World has published excepts from the tax fraud and conspiracy trial of Wesley Snipes.

A tall, icy glass of our favorite internet junk, just for you. Nintendo has released its lineup of DS and Wii releases for the first half of 2008. WiiWare will also be launching in that time period, supposedly. And Myst will be coming to your DS in March.
