- Shaun of the Dead with knitted dollies [via]
- Serenity with Muppets [via]
- Serenity in Lego [via]

- Speaking of Mr. T:
California company NavTones has contracted with Mr. T and the actors Burt Reynolds and Dennis Hopper to record voices that can be loaded into navigation systems, giving your driving directions a little extra personality. More voices are coming, the company said.

- TV host Cooke’s body plundered by ghouls — That’s ghouls as in graverobbers, not the evil spirits or demons who plunder graves and feed on corpses. That Cooke died of lung cancer that spread to his bones makes this even more disturbing. [via]

- Statler & Waldorf: From the Balcony — Like most post-sale-to-Disney Muppets projects, this is pretty hit and miss. And it’s hard not to listen to the two main characters without missing their original puppeteers, Richard Hunt and Jim Henson, both of whom have sadly passed away. But some of it’s genuinely very funny. [via]
