AMC's got an awesome short film about the greatest fictional talent agency of all time. It's worth watching for the Dr. Zaius appearances alone.
Thanks to Dan Taylor for pointing this out.

Adventureblog Gallery: Purple Cape, Purple Cape
I only want 2 see U in your purple cape

Your 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea Picture of the Day

The Gift of Gab

Future Clothes
I hear quite a bit of complaining about what skimpy clothes women and girls today are wearing. It just hit me though that we really should've known this was coming. Haven't we always known that future female fashions were going to be skimpy?
Princess Leia
By Michelle Gorski.
Avatar
Maybe it was because I was trying to avoid being confused with that other movie with the same name (although I guess that's no longer a problem). Maybe it was due to residual backlash against Titanic. Maybe it was my natural skepticism towards all the hype about how it's going to change the future of movie-making. Whatever the reason, I've been less than enthusiastic about James Cameron's Avatar.
Until now.

Comics Trailer: The Nobody
I think I've mentioned this before, but it's especially true after seeing the trailer. I cannot wait for Jeff Lemire's spin on The Invisible Man.

The Unknown Monster of Brittany
Wolf Man concept art
By Rick Baker. Man, I can't wait for this movie.
Monsters in Space!
Work-in-progress by Schiani Ledo. The finished piece is something else I can't wait for.
Monster Stamps
Thanks to Chris for the link! Anyone know who that is on the Brittany stamp?
Update: Sleestak says in the comments that that's the mascot from Old Nick candy bars. Over at Robot 6, Kevin Melrose suggests that it's Bluebeard.

Awesome List Catch-Up: Part Four
Who is The Nobody?
Jeff Lemire is making a graphic novel based on H.G. Wells' The Invisible Man.
Black Panther cartoon sounds good
Yesterday I said, "If the cartoon is anything like the early issues, I'll be all over it." Looks like I will.
Wonder Woman movies update
Doesn't look like we'll be seeing Wonder Woman on the big screen any time soon. The Justice League movie has been tabled.
And while producer Joel Silver still wants to do a Wonder Woman solo film, he's still trying to figure out the best direction to approach it from. Take your time, Joel. I'd rather see it done right than done soon.
Femme Noir
I reviewed the first couple of issues of Christopher Mills and Joe Staton's Femme Noir.
Sarah Conner Chronicles Season Two
There'll be one. I'm just now getting around to watching Season One on TiVo, so I don't know how to feel about this yet. I have reservations about the pilot (the only episode I've seen so far), but I hear from pretty much everyone that it gets better.
Josh Medors Benefit Auction
It's not awesome that Josh Medors -- who illustrated the short prose story I wrote in Tales from the Inner Sanctum #1 (in addition to many other, more high profile things like G.I. Joe and Fused!) -- has cancer. It is awesome that there will be an auction at Emerald City Comic Con to help pay for Josh's medical expenses.
Get well, buddy.
Why Gail Simone's Wonder Woman will just keep getting better and better until the world cannot contain its Awesomeness and explodes
We're all doomed, but at least we'll go out with great Wonder Woman stories.
Del Toro does The Hobbit
The man likes his fantasy. I think this is good news, but I feel like I know exactly what to expect. Hopefully he'll do some surprising things with it.
New Dark Knight poster
I don't know why I'm not more excited about this one. I want to see it, naturally, but I'm not anxious about it. I probably will be once we get past Iron Man.
Still. Very cool poster.
Awesome anthology
I reviewed Indie Spinner Rack's Awesome anthology. Among other things it includes: a robot with a fishbowl for a head, a Mexican necrophiliac robot, a couple of talking bears, ice-cream eating aliens (one of whom has a pet flying ball named Greg; the other of whom has a gun that shoot dragons out of it), some enchanted deer, Scuba Archeologist, Frankenstein vs. Popeye, an alien visitation, and one of the scariest comics I've ever read (the scariest I've ever read involving talking geese).
Still more Crystal Skull pictures
This crop is more exciting than the last batch. Even more at the link.
Possible SPOILERS BELOW in some of them, I guess. This is the last item in this post, so you can stop reading now if you don't want to see.

Adventureblog Gallery: Supernatural Thrillers and Uncanny Tales
I was searching for some image or other not too long ago and discovered these old comics series. I wonder how hard it would be to track some of these down.
Uncanny Tales
There've been three comics called Uncanny Tales. This '50s one from Atlas (which would later change its name to Marvel).
Then this one from Alan Class in the '60s. Apparently this was a British series that reprinted US comics, but as far as I can tell it didn't actually reprint the Atlas series of the same name.
And finally, Marvel again in the '70s.
Supernatural Thrillers
A year before Marvel relaunched Uncanny Tales it had another horror book called Supernatural Thrillers that featured stories about classic monsters like The Invisible Man, Jekyll and Hyde, and of course, the Mummy.

Links: 30 Days of Night trailer, pirate comics, and monster-fighting biplanes!
I don't know what's up, but Blogger's only letting me post 200 characters or less now? Anyone else having this problem?Pirates
Adventure
- I mentioned here that I was interested in seeing DOA: Dead or Alive. This review from Geek Monthly makes me want to even more. It's faint praise, to be sure, but the trailer still looks fun and according to the review, "the female leads win points for being about a thousand times less annoying than the harridans of Charlie’s Angels: Full Throttle. In fact this movie does what that mess tried to do and succeeds on about an eighth of the budget."
- I can't make it work on my computer and I'm depressed about it, but apparently you can now see the trailer for the 30 Days of Night film. If it doesn't work for you either, do like me and make do with this gallery of stills from the movie.
- Universal's working on not so much a sequel to the old Claude Rains Invisible Man film (which has already been done a few times) as it is a movie sequel to H.G. Wells' novel.
- These covers to an old series called G-8 and His Battle Aces make me desperate to read those stories. World War I planes fighting giant bats and balloon-flying skeltons? Who, oh who, will collect these for me?
- I wasn't sure where to put this, but these underwater sculptures are so hauntingly beautiful that "fantasy" feels like the right choice.
