Emmy/Death

Emmy Rossum, she who played a pretty flat Christine in The Phantom of the Opera movie, wants to play Death in a movie.

For those curious, Death is Dream's older sister and becomes human for one day every hundred years.

Shameless self promotion

I made this, so you should watch it. ;-)

More Wild Things

I have no idea what the movie will be like, although I trust Spike Jonze very much, I sure do like the way it looks.

Ain't It Cool News also has a still from the movie and a bigger poster.

Art Trek

You can see it much larger over here. And read some stuff here.

In case you were hungry...

a site on urban trapping. Mmmmm, chihuahua!

Remember though, use caution when you set traps in areas where children may be present...you kill it, you eat it!!

Stimulus Package

I love the lol-whatever builder. It makes me feel a lot funnier than I actually am.


moar funny pictures

And I'm okay with that.

Joe Cocker With Subtitles, For the Clear-Headed

Finally, learn what Joe Cocker was actually singing about.

DAMNIT!

According to a press release [March 31st] from Tor/Forge Publicity Manager Dot Lin, the details are set for the final, posthumous book in Robert Jordan’s bestselling Wheel Of Time fantasy series. One of the big revelations: that last "book" [A Memory of Light] is being split into three volumes.

The rest is at AV Club.

EDIT: From Brandon Sanderson's (the guy who took over after Jordan's death) blog:

April 2008. I had to make a decision. I realized that the book would be impossible to do in 200k. I'd begun to say on my blog that it would be at least 400k, but even that seemed a stretch. I looked over the outlines, both mine and Mr. Jordan's. I stared at them for a long time, thinking about the book. And this is where the first decision came in. Did I try to cram it into 400k? Or did I let it burgeon larger?

To get this into one book, I'd need to railroad the story from climax to climax. I'd have to ignore a lot of the smaller characters--and even some aspects of the larger characters. I just couldn't justify that. It wouldn't do the story justice. I cringed to consider what I would have to cut or ignore.

"And I thought they smelled bad on the outside."

Unfortunately, this is an April Fools' Day prank done by those people at ThinkGeek. (My favorite part is the guts like pattern on the inside. If only it was red, though.)

Although, they have said that they're going to try to actually make it and sell it.

ATTN Tauntaun Fanatics! Due to an overwhelming tsunami of requests from YOU THE PEOPLE, we have decided to TRY and bring this to life. We have no clue if the suits at Lucasfilms will grant little ThinkGeek a license, nor do we know how much it would ultimately retail for. But if you are interested in ever owning one of these, click the link below and we'll try!

Asleep in His Cozy Bed

Who needs blankies when you have such a good snuggle-buddy? Cole has never slept better than since his new friend arrived.
