Art
- Vanity Fair has chosen Summer Glau to be one of its Vanities Girls, and they’ve dressed her like a character from Blade Runner. I’m sure that there’s an XKCD comic in there somewhere…
Comics
- Marvel has announced that it will be releasing an Ender’s Game comic. I predict that Valentine and Petra will both have enormous busts in their brief appearances.
Film
- J.J. Abrams has revealed that Cloverfield was intended for the small screen. Scheeesh… he tells us now! He could have saved me ten bucks by admitting this earlier.
- Topless Robot take a look at The 10 Worst CG Effects in Movies That Could Afford Better.
Literature
- Free Fiction: The Magazine of Fantasy and Science Fiction has posted Kiosk by Bruce Sterling.
- Free Fiction: Subterranean Press has released Your Collar by Elizabeth Bear.
- J.K. Rowling finally crosses does it. She makes a Harry Potter Fan Breaks Down in Tears on Stand.
- Night Shade Books asks What is your favorite Cthulhu Mythos Story?
- Orson Scott Card has announced the coming release of Ender’s Exile, putting him neck-in-neck with Frank Herbert for the “Doesn’t Know when to Quit” award.
- SETI has posted a list of 10 Must-Read “First Contact” Novels, and while I’m completely shocked that Carl Sagan’s Contact doesn’t make the cut, I will be taking a closer look at “Blindsight” by Peter Watts and “Singularity Sky” by Charles Stross next time I stop off at the book store.
