Apparently, Jude Law has dropped out of Superman and Batman (He didn’t want to be forced into Joel Schumacher sequels), to be replaced by Josh Hartnett. Hmmm…not sure if I see it, but it might work.

An Oxford Stroll.
J.R.R. Tolkien’s Oxford, interactive. Also, those well-to-do folks out there looking for a more substantive piece of Middle Earth’s history should go here. (On a related note, how great is it to finally have Fellowship legitimately on DVD? No more “Property of New Line blah blah blah” scrolling over the best parts.)
Adaptable, Resourceful, Clueless.
I don’t normally blog quizzes, but this is Farscape, and I did get Crichton…so here ya go…What Farscape Character are you? (Via Quiddity.)

Somewhere in Time.

American Psycho.
