This Week In Links
Yeah, so I’m a giant lazy schmuck who didn’t post TWIL last week. Here’s a super-size edition for this week to make up for it.
This Week In Links for Friday, April 6, 2007:
Michael, I’m worth a lot more than the Kelley Blue Book Value. The original K.I.T.T. from the 80s TV Series Knight Rider starring David Hasselhoff has gone on sale at a private auction in California. Asking price is around $150k, and comes with working LED lights. Getting William Daniels to make the car talk is an entirely different transaction. [Sci Fi Wire]
FBI has let loose a few investigators into the sexually deviant game Second Life to look into the online gambling aspect of the MMO. They’ll just have to go through all the dance clubs and people that look like animals having sex with each other to get to them. [News.com]
Annoyed with the earlier Daylight Savings Time this year? You and everyone else, especially the Department of Energy who is saying that the month-early shift to DST served no purpose, and has saved the consumers absolutely nothing. Good job, Congress. [ARS Technica]
Fans of the classic Monty Python and the Holy Grail will gather in London on St. George’s Day (April 23) for a public screening of the film, and an attempt of the worlds largest coconut orchestra. The cast of the broadway adaptation Spamalot hopes to join the orchestra with a rendition of “Always Look On The Bright Side of Life” from Monty Python and the Life of Brian [Cinematical]
More Speed Racer! John Goodman and Susan Sarandon are negotiations to play the parents of Speed Racer in the upcoming movie being produced by The Matrix’s Wachowski brothers. [Sci Fi Wire]
30 Rock, NBC’s new show with Tina Fey, Alec Baldwin, and Tracy Morgan set behind the scenes at a sketch comedy show, has been picked up for a second season. Hooray! [NBC]
I’m not doing Spider-Man 4. No wait, I am. Well, maaaaaaybe. Tobey McGuire has stated that he would like to return to the franchise after the third movie hits theaters this summer, but only if the “story is worth telling.” Kirsten Dunst also echoed her desire to return, but no one cares. [Sci Fi Wire]
Two of my favorite personal blogs (and good friends) made their return to the blogisphere in the past few weeks with a slew of new posts and a personal vendetta to settle (no more War Tool!) Visit Diantological for the brunt of it, and Lemon Jinny for everything else! [Diantological]
