A tall, icy glass of our favorite internet junk, just for you. The concept of controlling a computer and/or a video game with only your mind has been around for a long time, and lately it's been getting closer and closer to reality. Now it looks like the reality is finally here: a neuro-headset which interprets the interaction of neurons in the brain and sends them wirelessly to a USB dongle connected to your computer......

A tall, icy glass of our favorite internet junk, just for you. Do you want to see a music video for the Gilbert & Sullivan version of "Baby Got Back?" Of course you do. (Via Sarah) Wow - turns out officer Chuck Cassidy and his shooting are the subject of an urban legend/email forward that already made it onto Snopes. (Via Debbie) Harmonix will send you a replacement for your busted Rock Band guitar if......

The shapeless dough of the internet, formed into tasty pellets and baked to perfection, just for you. Remember the news about Universal's upcoming Harry Potter theme park? Turns out Disney thought about doing it, too, but passed on the project, after deciding that realizing Rowling's vision would be too complex and expensive. The Logan's Run remake isn't dead yet! Now Joel Silver has taken it over to Warner Brothers, with a new director (Joseph Kosinski,......

Like most nerd girls, this Phillyist admits to harboring a honking crush on one John Krasinski, normally seen mugging his way through scenes on NBC's The Office and now...er, mugging his way through scenes in Warner Brothers' License to Wed opposite Mandy Moore and Robin Williams. That said, this Phillyist also harbors a certain trepidation towards: 1) Romantic comedies about weddings and misunderstandings. 2) Mandy Moore. (We're really sorry, Mandy. We're sure you're terribly sweet......

I don't know nearly as much about poker as I thought I did. Apparently, watching the occasional episode of Celebrity Poker Showdown on Bravo does not make you an expert. Also, there seem to be more kinds of poker than Texas Hold 'Em and Five Card Stud. Who knew? (Answer: the producers of Lucky You.) That being said, I don't think I missed out on too much in Lucky You because of my lack......

The best of the internet, chopped into tiny bits and grilled for your enjoyment. Ooh, a great big documentary on David Lynch is coming! Sweet. Well, we'll be damned. Grindhouse kind of tanked at the box office this weekend (probably because we forgot about the curse on CinePhillyist and accidentally predicted it would do well; sorry Robert and Quentin!). Admittedly, we should have figured the South and Midwest wouldn't get it, and that there would......

The Daily News tried to track down the people behind some T-shirts they'd seen that seem to glorify crime and violence. They didn't have much luck. We're personally a fan of the one that looks like the Warner Brothers logo, except it's been altered to read "If you see the cops coming...Warn a Brother." Besides freedom and democracy, we're also bringing soccer to the Iraqi people. A Marine who grew up in the Philly......

We've heard tales of black market, underground networks, where shady people in dark alleys who dress in trench coats with high collars and jeff caps pulled low on their heads so all you see is their yellow, beady eyes glowing back to you from the dull lamplight (yeah, pretty much all of our knowledge about the underworld comes from old Warner Brothers cartoons) will tell you where to find whatever sins you seek - for......
