Screen
A Scanner Darkly: The Trailer

It's just a minute long, but the preview for Richard Linklater's take on Philip K. Dick is a mini-movie of epic proportions. Druggy future-fear, Waking Life-style animation, and an A-list cast make this sneak peek a must-see.

Music
Blue Eyes Meets Bed-Stuy, DJ Cappel & Smitty

This year's Grey Album layers Notorious B.I.G.'s raps over beats made from Sinatra standards. You'll get a kick out of the way Big Poppa and Big Band swing together.

Games
Dad 'n Me

You're the son of a deranged lunatic, out to impress Dad by bullying other kids. This new Web game from the creators of indie classic Alien Hominid oozes wackiness and hyperviolence. Don't tell Hillary Clinton!

Print
Parasite Eve

The Japanese sci-fi horror novel that inspired a hit videogame is finally out in English. A lab-created mitochondrial parasite infects human DNA, then starts trying to take over the world. In a word: scarylicious.

Screen
Bitman Video Bulbs

Gadget artist Ryota Kuwakubo created several Magic Marker-shaped contraptions that plug into your TV's video input. Pop one in to watch weirdly hypnotic loops of lo-res Bitman performing repetitive tasks.

Music
Cliptip

Remember music videos? MTV used to play them in between reality shows. Cliptip.blogspot.com has links to the latest and greatest examples of the form, along with smart, insightful commentary.
