I Am Link

--- Believe It Or Not, George Isn't At Home - io9 lists all the superhero screw-ups that beat Will Smith's Hancock to the punch, and as soon as The Greatest American Hero comes up in conversation I have that theme song, filtered through Seinfeld-lore, stuck in my head. Great.

So (spoiler alert) I have not gotten around to seeing Hancock, and am curious... those of you that have seen it, would one's obsessive love for all things Charlize and a deep desire to see her kick Will Smith's ass outweigh what is the deafening critical roar of its shittiness? I cannot decide if I can make the sacrifice.

Also, how fucking right was I? Can I get some fucking props for calling Charlize's super-powered nature via that split-second shot in the trailer or what?

--- Cartoon Sculder - EW.com has a preview of The X-Files comic books coming our way via the show's co-producer/co-writer Frank Spotnitz. Looks positively monsterlicious.

--- Cartoon Boobs - I'd forgotten that David Fincher was working on an update of Heavy Metal, that animated 70s epic about rock'n'roll and enormous bosoms. Well now he isn't. Because Paramount changed their mind. I guess they're looking for a new home now.

--- Arty Boobs - Stale Popcorn takes a look at what Showgirls would have been if it'd been filmed in black and white. It's the visual embodiment of Nomi's claim to being a "Dancer!"

--- Werner & Rog - Roger Ebert asks Werner Herzog five questions about his latest flick and his general philosophies on movie-making. Lovely stuff.

--- Charlie Nobody - Billy Loves Stu highlights one of their very important sponsors, and it's got me giggling semi-uncontrollably every time I see it. Crafty Abe.

--- Goodbye, Giant Worms - The team behind the modern B-movie classic Tremors are going to make an "urban" monster movie now. I can't tell you how much of my teenage years were spent watching Tremors over and over and over on basic cable. Endless fun. I haven't seen it in years; gotta get me a copy.

--- And finally, Culture Snob is holding the Self-Involvement Blog-a-thon right now (through Sunday). Me me me! I'm going to try and do a post since my birthday's next week and right now really is ALL ABOUT ME, YOU KNOW, but for now go check it out.
