? Marvel just filed a shit-ton of trademarks for Guardian of the Galaxy-themed merchandise, up to and including inflatable children’s furniture. Sounds like a big-budget movie to me. (Via Blastr)

? James Cameron is shooting three — count ’em, three — Avatar sequels simultaneously. I got a peek at the scripts for all three, and they only contain four words: “Miltary worse, trees gooder.” Not sure how that’s going to carry a trilogy, frankly. (Via /Film)

? Genndy Tartakovsky is going to direct a CG Popeye cartoon, which makes sense because  the character is so popular nowadays and people love unintelligible sailors with massive calcium deposits in their forearms and OH GOD PLEASE JUST PUT HIM IN CHARGE OF CLONE WARS AGAIN (Via Geeks of Doom)

He brought the site to prominence with “nerd news, humor and self-loathing” as its motto, raising it from total internet obscurity to a readership in the millions, with help from his savage “FAQ” movie reviews and Fan Fiction Fridays. Under his tenure Topless Robot was covered by Gawker, Wired, Defamer, New York magazine, ABC News, and others, and his articles have been praised by Roger Ebert, Avengers actor Clark Gregg, comedian and The Daily Show correspondent John Hodgman, the stars of Mystery Science Theater 3000 and Rifftrax, and others.

Despite decades as both an amateur and professional nerd, he continues to be completely unprepared for either the zombie apocalypse or the robot uprising.
