The best of the internet, squirted out in flavorful neon globules, just for you. The boys at Penny Arcade really outdid themselves today. But... ahem... well, not to get even nerdier than usual on you or anything, but... they also spelled wookiee wrong. It's two e's at the end. Everybody gets that wrong. Cinematical picks seven romantic comedies actually worth watching. The three main stars of the original The Greatest American Hero TV show have......

A tall, icy glass of our favorite internet junk, just for you. The world's oldest Bible is going online! All we want to know is, how are they going to jam those fragile old pages down the tubes of the internets without ruining them? (Via Jill) Sounds like NBC is doing a not-so-good job at selling their new programs to TV critics. (Via Jill) It's Comic-Con time! Cinematical has a preliminary post, then coverage of......

The shapeless dough of the internet, formed into tasty pellets and baked to perfection, just for you.

A tall, icy glass of our favorite internet junk, just for you. Those guys at Google are freaking hilarious. (Via Jill) New Iron Man photos! Take a look at Movie Blog's copies quick, because Paramount has already gotten the site that originally posted them to take them down.

A tall, icy glass of our favorite internet junk, just for you. WHYY is getting together with Bassetts Ice Cream to create a new ice cream flavor, but they're asking YOU to help. The question is, if WHYY were ice cream, what would it taste like? Submit your ideas for a new flavor based on WHYY to icecream@whyy.org. The only guidelines for the contest are that flavors be developed around chocolate and vanilla. Also, all......

The best of the internet, chopped into tiny bits and grilled for your enjoyment. How about those Oscars? If you just want a list of all the winners, IMDB can help (go Coen brothers! Woo!). Cinematical, of course, was liveblogging the entire thing. Joystiq celebrated Wii Tennis' short cameo at the ceremony, and even embedded the video. Cinematical also found a great LJ post with links to YouTube videos of 46 of the animated shorts......

The best of the internet, chopped into tiny bits and grilled for your enjoyment. A painfully true video about what's really important to voters. It's composed mainly of NSFW language, so remember your headphones! (Via Jill) Basic Instructions discusses something of serious importance: How to Decide Which Star Wars Character You Are Most Like. Cloverfield's impressive opening weekend box office numbers make the possibility of a sequel seem pretty inevitable. Grindhouse is back up on......

A steaming hot pile of our favorite things from around the internets. The perfect Valentine's Day gift for that gamer you have a thing for: Chocolate Miis! (Via Sarah) Comic book fans are so pissed about the recent change Marvel made to Spider-Man - using a deal with the devil to erase Peter Parker's marriage to Mary Jane Watson - that even USA Today heard about it. For the record, we think it's stupid, too.......

The best of the internet, squirted out in flavorful neon globules, just for you. A nativity scene becomes a LARP battle in this incredibly nerdy video that may just be the best thing ever. Or at least the geekiest Christmas ever. Oh, and did we mention it's called IM IN UR MANGER KILLING UR SAVIOR? (Via Sarah) AOL Food has a list of the top 11 things that taste great with bacon. And that's a......

The shapeless dough of the internet, formed into tasty pellets and baked to perfection, just for you. The only true history of lolcats. You'll laugh, you'll cry, you'll want to has a cheezburger. (Via) Oh woe unto the entertainment industry, for the writers strike has begun! Cinematical has pics from the picket lines in NYC, while Kung Fu Monkey offers us an explanation of the strike from a writer's perspective. At the urging of fans,......

The best of the internet, chopped into tiny bits and grilled for your enjoyment. Exer-gaming is the way of the future, people! We know we'd be doing a lot more exercising if it were also a video game. (Via Sarah) Even though we use Microsoft's products every day, and often even enjoy doing so, we have to admit to feeling quite a bit of schadenfreude when we read this article. (Via Sarah) Sad news -......

A tall, icy glass of our favorite internet junk, just for you. You may vaguely remember from long ago the idea for a Buffy the Vampire Slayer spin-off show called Ripper that was meant to follow the adventures of Anthony Stewart Head's character in England, along with a whole cast of new characters. Well, good news! It sounds like it's actually going to happen now, with Joss Whedon in the captain's chair, and shooting beginning......

The best of the internet, chopped into tiny bits and grilled for your enjoyment. Apparently in an attempt to destroy any hopes anyone might have had that the remake of The Day the Earth Stood Still could be good, Twentieth Century Fox has cast Keanu Reeves as Klaatu. Gah! Perhaps you'll remember that Dark Horse is making movies now? Well, they're currently developing a sci-fi horror comedy called War Monkeys about "a janitor who, during......

The shapeless dough of the internet, formed into tasty pellets and baked to perfection, just for you. We're fascinated by the success of the book What Will Happen in Harry Potter 7, a product which, by its very nature, will cease to have any purpose or appeal by the end of next week. (Via Jill) And speaking of Harry Potter... Penny Arcade has a shameful secret they don't want you to know about. Sci Fi......

The best of the internet, chopped into tiny bits and grilled for your enjoyment. The internet is a wonderful place where every day you can find people out there inventing ingenious new foods. Take, for instance, these meatloaf cupcakes where the frosting is made of mashed potatoes. Brilliant! (Via Sarah) This appears to have gone up on Thursday last week, but it's the first time we're seeing it, so we'll pass it on to you,......

The shapeless dough of the internet, formed into tasty pellets and baked to perfection, just for you. List time: The Top 10 Geekiest Yarn Creations on the Web. We've only seen one of these before, as far as we can remember, and they're all pretty clever. (Via) Penny Arcade continues to be funny. We are pleased. We don't know if it's "Pulitzer-caliber" like it claims (actually, we're hoping that's a joke), but this site, entitled......

The best of the internet, squirted out in flavorful neon globules, just for you. How about some political humor mixed with clips from The Godfather? Our favorite part is at the very end. (Via) Local aspiring filmmakers, be aware that the Big Bang Film Festival (also on MySpace) is calling for entries, and the deadline is approaching! Well, one of the deadlines. The regular deadline is June 1st, which is Friday, but there are "late"......

A tall, icy glass of our favorite internet junk, just for you. It's a list, and one about Star Wars, even, so there's no way we could not post for you Star Wars: Top 20 Moments. And as it turns out, it's also quite a good list, with some really good selections. The only one we might quarrel with is number 7: Vader gets a new wardrobe. The scene where Anakin finally goes into the......

A tall, icy glass of our favorite internet junk, just for you. Somebody dropped a link to digphilly.com on our contribute page, so we took a quick look, and it seems pretty neat. Kind of an all-in-one guide for what to do, where to go, how to get there, and what to buy in Philly, and it even also has its own social networking thing going on. Maybe it's trying to do too many things......

The shapeless dough of the internet, formed into tasty pellets and baked to perfection, just for you. First of all, and thankfully, it turns out that whole story about the Kansas Board of Education banning Pokemon was fake. The scary thing is that, even though it did seem pretty ridiculous, it also seemed possible. Harvey Weinstein is incredibly disappointed and is thinking of rereleasing Grindhouse this summer as two separate movies. Crap! That means we......

A steaming hot pile of our favorite things from around the internets. It seems as if some spoilers about the upcoming season finale of Battlestar Galactica have been leaked, apparently by one of the actors, but we can't say for sure, because we're not reading any article with the headline "Battlestar Finale Spoilers Leaked." If you're curious, and don't mind having surprises ruined for you, click here and see for yourself. Apparently Nintendo didn't technically......

The best of the internet, chopped into tiny bits and grilled for your enjoyment. As you may or may not know, the web comic-slinging, game critiquing duo over at Penny Arcade have finally stepped forward and begun making a video game of their very own, entitled (with their usual gift for florid language) On the Rain-Slick Precipice of Darkness: Episode One. Joystiq has posted a teaser trailer of the game which is not particularly enlightening.......

Stereotype dictates that "the gays" are good at all things artistic or cultural. Tomorrow night's Beyond Beyond! at the Trocadero won't do anything to distill that notion. Instead, you'll get to see Justin Bond hosting a lineup of performers who proudly fit into the queer, and queer-friendly, stereotype, including dancer Mykal D. Laury II, Penn alum and funny anti-folk musician Dan Fishback, poet Samantha Barrow, and reigning Miss Lez Glenn Marla, among others. Plus, legendary......

The best of the internet, chopped into tiny bits and grilled for your enjoyment. Park Chan-wook (Sympathy for Mr. Vengeance, Oldboy) has a new movie, and it's sort of a comedy! We say "sort of" because there appears to be lots of violence and insanity involved. It's called I'm a Cyborg, But That's Okay, and Cinematical's review sounds pretty promising. Hopefully this one will show up at this year's Philadelphia Film Festival... Speaking of Cinematical,......

A steaming hot pile of our favorite things from around the internets. A different kind of web comic: it's a blog, and all the humor content is delivered via diagrams. Way funnier and smarter than it sounds. It's called Indexed. (Via) We weren't all that excited about Shrek the Third, but now that we've seen the third trailer, we have to change our opinion. This thing looks pretty fantastic. Definitely looking forward to it. (Via)......

The best of the internet, squirted out in flavorful neon globules, just for you. Yesterday we linked you to a site where you could tell which of your favorite bands are gay; now here's a site that tells you which silent movies are gay. Yay for gay! (Via) Superman and Spidergirl dance in the sky in this clip from another Bollywood masterpiece. (Via) Mmm...donuts... So, this Vista thing (not to mention Office 2007) is here......

The best of the internet, chopped into tiny bits and grilled for your enjoyment. Apparently, if you're willing to do quite a bit of hacking work, you can replace songs in Guitar Hero II with any songs you want - and replace the note charts and everything. Metal. (Via Amy) This is a pretty old link, but we only just found it, and we can't help but pass it on to you: it's gamer geek......

The best of the internet, chopped into tiny bits and grilled for your enjoyment. How about some traditional Jewish hip-hop to start your afternoon off right? It's a good song, and a cool video! (Via AC) Man, the more casting news comes out about Tim Burton's Sweeney Todd, the cooler it sounds. Now we've got Alan Rickman as Judge Turpin. Woo hoo! Hooray for giant rabbits! (Via) And boo to bunny-haters (we always thought that......

The best of the internet, squirted out in flavorful neon globules, just for you. All of you out there writing Spock/Kirk slash fiction (you know who you are!) should enjoy this incredibly filthy and wrong video for Nine Inch Nail's "Closer," composed of very suggestively edited clips from various episodes of the original "Star Trek." As for us...we mainly just find it kind of disturbing. Oh, and btw, for those of you unfamiliar with the......
