A steaming hot pile of our favorite things from around the internets. Check out this sweet poster for Takashi Miike's latest project, Sukiyaki Western Django. Here's hoping they manage to get a copy of this one for the Philadelphia Film Festival... We think we've already said this before, but each successive trailer for Iron Man makes us exponentially more excited about seeing the film, and the latest one is no exception. Hot damn, this movie......

The best of the internet, squirted out in flavorful neon globules, just for you. Sure, Wikipedia can be unreliable. But just how reliable is the Encyclopedia Britannica? (Via Jill) The word from Jo Rowling is that she's not necessarily done with Harry after all - a Potter encyclopedia could be in our (admittedly distant, because she needs a break) future (via Jen). For a bit more of the interview quoted in that article, click here.......

What's new and/or interesting in local theaters this weekend. Brand Upon the Brain! - Odd Canadian (is that redundant?) indie filmmaker Guy Maddin puts out another puzzler.

A tall, icy glass of our favorite internet junk, just for you. The site is horribly designed, and the audio quality isn't the best ever, but this internet jukebox that lets you listen to the best of the top 100 via a streaming playlist for each year from 1950 through 1984 ("the golden years of popular music") is pretty cool anyway. (Via Editor Jill, via her grandfather) For those of you who use Valve's Steam......

The shapeless dough of the internet, formed into tasty pellets and baked to perfection, just for you. A few days ago, Jess at Apropos of Something managed to catch one of those fleeting moments of comedic piracy that often occur on ye olde Wikipedia. In this case, it was an edit of Howard Cosell's entry, revealing that the man was a Decepticon. Thankfully, Jess was clever enough to steal a couple of screenshots before the......

The best of the internet, chopped into tiny bits and grilled for your enjoyment. Yo, we want us some of that deep fried Coca Cola! (Via) The Top 40 music moments in film history, including many video clips. The criteria for getting on the list is that the music had to be a song that had not been written for the movie, and did not make its debut on the film's soundtrack. Lots of excellent......
