1901 Space Odyssey (link roundup)



This 1901 Space Odyssey image is far and away the highlight of a b3ta steampunk forum thread. Also good is this animated gif featuring Eadweard Muybridge's movie of an AT-AT. Via these sites.

And a few more links:

1. If not a joke, the next Rambo features Rambo squaring off against genetically advanced soldiers and just maybe a super wolf. Via.

2. The Bioshock 2 booth at PAX looks just like the office at Something in the Sea.

3. My heart goes out to anyone whose Wordpress blog has been compromised by today's attack.

Best Godzilla poster ever (link roundp)



The Terror of Mechagodzilla (and The Yellow Submarine). Just another bit of evidence that the Poles make the absolutely best movie posters. Found amidst several other Godzilla posters here.

And a few more links:

1. A company called Nielsen announced it was disabling the "reply to all" function to reduce email clutter. Via. (I wish there was a "are you sure button?" that popped up whenever you pressed reply to all.)

2. Tracey O'Shaughnessy won a $1,000 journalism award from the Missouri School of Journalism in August. As of Tuesday, she still had not received the money. Romanesko picked up the story and by the afternoon there was a promise the school would pay.

3. White actor Jackson Rathbone was cast to play one of the Asian characters in The Last Airbender movie. He dismissed complaints about the all-white cast: "I think it's one of those things where I pull my hair up, shave the sides, and I definitely need a tan . . . ." Via.

4. Elegant HAL 9000 (2001) screensaver. Via.
