Art
- Deviant Art user RETROnoob has posted a gallery of Nintedo art, game sprites from classic NES games in real world scenes.
Film
- AMOG reviews 101 Movie One-Liners Everyone Should Know. Try guessing the top five before you check the list. I’ll bet they’re lines so common, you won’t even think of them.
- IconoCritic Movies runs down the The Top 9 Unknown Sci-fi Films to look out for in 2009, leaving me some hope this year isn’t going to be a complete flop.
Literature

Television

Personally, if I were him, a Star Trek: The Next Generation cross-over would have been my number one, because, once they stopped trying, why not?
- Yet another BSG theory: Boomer is the Final Cylon.
