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 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......

The best of the internet, chopped into tiny bits and grilled for your enjoyment. Have you heard about a little thing called the Consumer Electronics Show? No? Well, don't worry, Shiny Shiny has the story so far, and Wired was liveblogging the Sony press conference, and the Bill Gates opening keynote speech. From Sony, we learn that a GPS receiver for the Sony PSP, already available in Japan, will be coming to America. Microsoft announced......

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......

Love in the Time of Cholera is a good example of a bad adaptation. Garcia Marquez fans realize, I hope, that the man’s strengths don’t easily translate to film, so you shouldn’t be shocked to learn that the film Love in the Time of Cholera feels more like an adaptation of a GGM-inspired Saturday morning cartoon than of the novel itself. Cholera the film is a fairly ordinary Hollywood period piece; it’s the sort of......

The best of the internet, squirted out in flavorful neon globules, just for you. Look out: it's a geek-splosion! This looks like a handy website: SeeqPod. It's essentially a search engine specifically for MP3s. Nice. (Via Thrillist, Via Jill) It's rumored that Kevin McKidd, who's starring in NBC's upcoming TV show Journeyman, might play Thor in a movie about the Marvel Comics character. RKO Pictures is planning a remake of the 1945 cult horror classic......

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......

A tall, icy glass of our favorite internet junk, just for you. For more exciting space stuff, besides the whole Earth-like planet thing, check out some images from the Hubble of stars being born and dying in a "nearby" nebula. (Via Editor Jill) The US Department of Health and Human Services is using Shrek as a spokseman for an anti-obesity drive, but "the Campaign for a Commercial-Free Childhood says the soon-to-open Shrek the Third sequel......

The shapeless dough of the internet, formed into tasty pellets and baked to perfection, just for you. The song "Thou Shalt Always Kill" offers us some new commandments for a new age. Pretty brilliant! (Via) Anthony Hopkins says he might end up in that Wolfman movie with Benicio Del Toro. We're not sure how to feel about that. We don't really trust Hopkins anymore... A remake of Clash of the Titans written by Lawrence Kasdan?......

A steaming hot pile of our favorite things from around the internets. We usually don't like MadTV, but this sketch is pretty damn funny, even if they do make the metaphor maybe just a little too obvious. (Via) The Godzilla movies are finally getting some decent DVD releases, featuring the original Japanese and altered American versions of each film. Sweet! How big of a video game fan are you? Are you willing to spend over......

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,......

by Star Foster and Jim Genzano Sweden's The Sounds are coming to town in support of their new album, Dying to Say This to You, a follow-up to Living in America. The album is an unexceptional but unobjectionable, generally quite fun, vaguely New Wave, pop rock disc, with tracks of the catchy ("Song With a Mission"), sexy ("Tony the Beat"), and indie ("Hurt You") variety. If you haven't heard of The Sounds...well, you should have!......

As you may or may not know, The Sounds are coming to the Troc on April 11th. We'll have a preview of the show, and a review of their latest CD, later on. What we're here to talk about today is an awesome Sounds prize package that we want to give to YOU. That's right, you! The one over there, in front of the computer! All you have to do is e-mail us with "The......
