20 mad scientists who turned against their creations.

Stephen Fry has a role in Sherlock Holmes 2.

Io9 discusses the old Choose Your Own Adventure books from the 80’s. I always ended up possessed or dead, depending on the book. My favorites were the one where you’re stuck in ancient Greece, and I think one where someone gets possessed by a ninja. There was also one with space vampires.

Union problems are holding up The Hobbit.

The Birds of Prey (Huntress, Catwoman, and Black Canary) sing on Batman: The Brave And The Bold. So much innuendo, so little time. I think I might track down an episode or two after watching that.

Found via thespoonyone: It Came From The Lawn. Someone sent it in for a contest. A zombie rises from the lawn and chases a guy, complete with silent movie music, cards, and lingo. Funny.

And last but not least, three celebrities have passed away. Gloria Stuart passed away at the age of 100. She was best known for her roles in Titanic and The Invisible Man. Jackie Burroughs (best known to me as The Evil Spirit in The Care Bears Movie) passed away, due to stomach cancer, at the age of 71. And Jimi Heselden—the current owner of Segway Inc.— passed away after accidentally driving his Segway scooter off a cliff and into a river. May they all rest in peace.
