And a few more links:

1. Sunday, I posted excellent short films made to promote Alan Wake that were clearly inspired by David Lynch's Twin Peaks. Ironically, David Lynch himself was hired to direct a 16 minute short movie for Dior. It's laughably pathetic. I defy you to make it more than halfway without losing interest.

2. Prince of Persia augmented reality bus ads.

3. "10 Newsweek Staffers Who Will Help Save The Magazine...Or Be Awesome Hires For Someone Else."

4. By comparison, here's a pretty wild description of what it used to be like to work for Newsweek.

New Mike Mignola art (link roundup)

Cover to Hellboy: Masks and Monsters TPB.



Cover to Solomon Kane Volume 2: Death's Black Riders TPB.



Cover to Hellboy: The Storm #2. Via.

And a few more links:

1. The "bling ring" that robbed celebrity homes in Los Angeles was busted after a member boasted at a party and a CNN employee passed on the tip to the police.

2. Russel Crowe does not appreciate being accused of giving Robing Hood an Irish accent. (Other than Alien and Blade Runner, which are both about 30 years old, I've never enjoyed a Ridley Scott movie. Should we be excited about his new Alien films?)

3. Salmon Fishing in the Yemen soon the be a movie:

[Ewan] McGregor will play Fred, the scientist who's stuck in a hen-pecked marriage. Fred suddenly finds himself put under tremendous pressure to help a sheik introduce salmon into Yemen, to score a public relations victory for the embattled British government.

The book is $12 at Amazon.

Mike Mignola has a new website

Mike Mignola has a new website with various art for sale. It's a little barebones so far and has no rss feed, so I took the liberty of turning the welcome page art into a widescreen desktop wallpaper. He's on Twitter, too.

King Zombie definitively answers "why did the chicken cross the road?"

In an old issue of Nickelodeon magazine, Mike Mignola told the best "why did the chicken cross the road" joke ever. Click through for the punchline.

I once heard the scientist's definitive answer to "which came first, the chicken or the egg" - - the egg, of course, which was laid by something that was not quite, but almost, a chicken.

Finally, here's the one and only episode of The Amazing Screw On Head:
