Jim Hill has done his homework here, giving us chapter and verse for all the inter-movie injokes tying all of Pixar's projects together, complete with screenshots. Want to know where that Pizza Planet truck shows up in The Incredibles or Ratatouille? Wonder no more.
God, I love Pixar.

10:26 - Watchmen sets

Wow... this is fantastic. Creating sets verbatim from comic book pages is nothing new, but doing it so well—and from such an intricately rendered universe as The Watchmen—is not so precedented.
Looks like this movie adaptation will be something to look forward to, if they managed to capture the other aspects as well as the visual. Since it's being directed by the guy who did 300, I'd say the chances are better than average.

Vista error of the day:
I haven't seen anything this Zen since my old Mac (back in the ancient days) once told me "The system could not complete the operation because it was not there."

22:18 - They're actually doing it

Wow. Now this I totally did not expect. They're actually bringing out more Narnia movies. Prince Caspian is out on May 16.
I was thinking for a moment that this was bound to be another Harry Potter debacle, where they'd have to tie up four child actors for a movie a year for the better part of a decade; but then I remembered that these characters don't even last past this installment (or at least two of them don't), and the ones that do are considerably older anyway. So this could actually work. Yet I can't help but think that subsequent episodes are going to be far, far less movie-able than these two.
Either way, it'll be interesting to see them try. Here's hoping...
