The best of the internet, squirted out in flavorful neon globules, just for you. Yay! It's the trailer for the next episode of Cinematic Titanic! We're not even sure we want to open this can of beans, but... if you're interested, The Underwire has the entire backstory on a little YouTube dance-off feud that's been going on between Miley Cyrus/Hannah Montana and the people behind Step Up 2. All the dialogue is in Russian, and......

The best of the internet, chopped into tiny bits and grilled for your enjoyment. The villain in the next Iron Man film just might be The Mandarin; director Jon Favreau had some interesting things to say about the character. (Via Ross) The New York City Opera has commissioned Charles Wuorinen to compose an opera based on "Brokeback Mountain," the short story that has already famously been adapted into a movie. The opera is scheduled to......

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. Steve Jobs' 90-minute keynote at MacWorld was just too long, which is why this version of the keynote, edited down to just 60 seconds (via), is so......

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......

There was very little else for Londonist to be concerned with when the threat of a Tube strike became a very unpleasant reality. The inconvenience was extreme: there aren't many alternatives to the Tube in London despite the best efforts of the Londonist team to get everyone from A to B. Brighter news came in the form of the first ever female Yeoman Warder, or Beefeater as the position is more commonly known, and......

Londonist are starting to think their city is getting just a little bit too expensive, when even Christian Slater can't afford to go out there. And there's no escaping, as local singer Lily Allen discovered when she was barred entry to the US. The British mapping agency caused further bad karma, by blocking a 3-D representation of London in Google Earth. But the smiles returned to Londonist's faces as they interviewed Baroness von Reichardt,......

A tall, icy glass of our favorite internet junk, just for you. Apropos of Something is celebrating the impending release of The Simpsons Movie with a list of The Top Simpsons Supporting Characters. Some of these folks actually seem to be pretty major characters to us, but apparently for the purposes of this list, anybody who is not part of the Simpsons family proper is considered a supporting character. Regardless, many lovely choices, and many......

The best of the internet, squirted out in flavorful neon globules, just for you. As we all know, because it is front page news across the country for some reason, Paris Hilton is currently in jail. No doubt there are cameras recording it all for a future reality TV show, but just in case there's not, you can experience her time in prison for yourself right now via the online game The Prison Life: Paris.......

It takes a lot to make me literally go slack-jawed, especially when I'm watching a play. I'm well aware that, not only is it unflattering, it can actually be quite frightening as an actor to look out and see certain reactions from your audience. The Act One finale of Nerds://A Musical Software Satire, Philadelphia Theatre Company's offering at the Philadelphia New Play Festival, however, caught me in a rare moment. My mouth was open......

The best of the internet, squirted out in flavorful neon globules, just for you. Read this and weep. It's the results of the Superbrawl of Rock listener voting contest that 94.1 Free FM had Super Bowl weekend. Now, we kind of like Disturbed - at least, we like their cover of "Land of Confusion" - and Linkin Park can be all right, too, but how in the hell did those two bands end up in......

A steaming hot pile of our favorite things from around the internets. In the last Whiz installment, a reader reprimanded us for not mentioning any of the exciting news about the Wii that came out at Nintendo's press conferences yesterday morning. Sadly, we must admit sometimes we are a bit slow getting the cool internet news to you, but we always get it to you eventually! So here's the breakdown on all the latest Wii......
