The best of the internet, squirted out in flavorful neon globules, just for you. LOLcats sing Metallica! Kind of. (Via Sarah) Speaking of Metallica, a music journalist for a Swedish paper included in his review of the band's latest album a link to a user-edited, condensed version of said album, and even suggested the edited version was better. In response, the band's representative's at Universal have threatened to cut off the paper's access not only......

The best of the internet, squirted out in flavorful neon globules, just for you. The big news today is, of course, the fact that Peter Jackson and New Line Cinema have mended fences and Jackson is going to direct not just one, but two movies based on The Hobbit. We don't remember the book being all that long, but hey, we'll give them our money twice. In slightly less exciting Peter Jackson-related news, Jackson and......

A steaming hot pile of our favorite things from around the internets. Dueling Philly cheesesteaks as political metaphor. Thank you, Comedy Central. (Via Debbie) Dude: new trailer for Aliens vs. Predator: Requiem. It will rock your face off. Cross your fingers, folks! A new Entertainment Weekly article suggests a Peter Jackson-directed movie of The Hobbit is closer to becoming a reality. We think the Scream movies made up a great trilogy, and that they should......

The best of the internet, chopped into tiny bits and grilled for your enjoyment. Apparently there will be a hotel in space in 5 years. A three day stay will cost you a cool $4 million. As you may have noticed from past postings, we're pretty big fans of The Darkest of the Hillside Thickets. Reading lead singer Toren Atkinson's blog this morning, we had these observations: Supercthonic would be an awesome title for an......

The best of the internet, squirted out in flavorful neon globules, just for you. Heh heh. Hearing somebody actually try to pitch some classic video games of the past makes you realize how insane the premises of some of them really are. (Via) Yay! 1UP has more terrible video game box art for us (via)! Meanwhile, Yahoo has the Top 10 Cheesiest Classic Game Commercials (via). You'd be surprised and amused by what odd combinations......

The best of the internet, chopped into tiny bits and grilled for your enjoyment. Verbotomy is a sort of comic/blog/web-word game. Every week day, they put up a comic and a definition, and challenge you to come up with a word to match the definition. Cool idea. If you're feeling creative, hop on over and see what you can come up with. (Via) Check out this rather strange game which is on one level a......

The shapeless dough of the internet, formed into tasty pellets and baked to perfection, just for you. Got your first full-length trailer for Oceans 13 right here. Loved the first two movies, and this one looks like it's going to be just as cool. (Via) Remake Peckinpah's Straw Dogs?! Well, okay. But... try not to make it more disturbing, okay? Yay, pics from the set of Iron Man! And they're not like blurry photos of......

What's new and/or interesting on TV this week. Antiques Roadshow (Mon; 8PM-9PM; PBS [WHYY]) - The final part of this show's three episode visit to Philly. This time they look at some paintings by John F. Kensett, a diamond ring, and some autographed baseballs. They also take a side trip to the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts. Digging for the Truth (Mon; 9PM-10PM; History Channel) - Appropriately enough, given the fact that the King......

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......

The Whiz went on hiatus this holiday weekend (did you miss us?), but now it's back with plenty of tasty internet leftovers - enough for everybody! Supposedly there's still a chance Peter Jackson may direct The Hobbit after all, when the rights go back to Saul Zaentz, but we don't give this news that much credence. We can't imagine New Line won't find some way or other to hang onto the rights. (Via) Ray Frenden,......

No, we did not get a Wii this weekend. Yes, we are exceedingly depressed about it. Regardless, we're still going to bring you the best of the internet, chopped into tiny bits and grilled for your enjoyment. It's just not going to have anything to do with video games. Banksy the guerrilla street aritst sneaks into famous museums and installs his art pieces next to the "legitimate" ones, complete with explanatory plaques. We love this......

A steaming hot pile of our favorite things from around the internets. Why not start your Friday afternoon right with an exceedingly long and sharply satirical clip from "The Daily Show?" Best political satire on the internet and on TV! (Via) This is kind of hilarious - a Senator has proposed a piece of legislation that would require the ESRB (the game ratings board) to play each game in its entirety before giving the game......

The Rocky Horror PUPPET Show (playing through Saturday - but don't fret if you miss it; they'll be staging it again in October.) I had a heavy internal debate before going to this show: to dress or not to dress. Or, rather - should I attend the show in some state of undress, it being an incarnation of the Rocky Horror Show. In the end, as it was the opening performance and I hadn't......

The best of the internet, squirted out in flavorful neon globules, just for you. A unique art show opened on Monday in Cleveland, Ohio, and runs until September 29th. It's called the Grumpy Freak Show, and on display are 8-inch vinyl Grumpy Bear dolls customized by over 50 artists. All the dolls will be auctioned to benefit Harvest for Hunger. As with all things these days, the show has a blog. Perhaps not as common,......

A tall, icy glass of our favorite internet junk, just for you. As everyone knows, there's nothing Hollywood loves more than a remake. Two of the more interesting recently announced remakes are a new version of the classic 1941 Universal horror flick, The Wolf Man, this one starring the excellent Benicio Del Toro as the titular character that was originally played by Lon Chaney, Jr; and an American remake of one of John Woo's most......

Frugal in Philly is a weekly celebration of all things Philly that are fun, frugal (costing $10 or less) or free! Stop here each week to see what Philly's got to offer for those of us who haven't quite mastered the art of becoming Independently Wealthy (although believe us, we're trying). Featured Pick of the Week: Free King Kong! It may have been beauty that killed the beast...but the anticipation for Peter Jackson's version King......
