I wanted to post these links last week itself, but didn't get around to it.  Not many this time though, but take a look —

• This one is a link that Jayakanthan pointed out to me.  There's an article at the film review site Pajiba on the "Greatest Trilogy of All Time".  Jayakanthan asked me to guess, and I though it'd be either Star Wars or The Lord of the Rings, but then I was pretty shocked to find out what it was — The Evil Dead!  Now don't get me wrong, I think those movies are awesome, but they're definitely not the kind of movies that an extremely critical-type website would choose as the "Greatest" of all time.  But read the article and you'll be convinced.
• Another one from Jayakanthan: this gallery of artworks.  This is a collection of drawings and sketches by famous artists representing either authors or characters they admire, from literature.  Lots of great names in both categories (artist and subject) on the site!
• This one, I came across sometime back, from the Drawn blog, I think.  The Superest is a blog with a simple challenge.  Artist A draws a superhero with a particular power, and Artist B has to draw one with a power that can defeat the previous one!  Very creative stuff here.
• This one is simply amazing.  Artist Euan Mactavish started this forum thread at Drawing-Board.org, where he is putting up his digital paintings of famous women celebrities, one for each letter of the alphabet!  I love these illustrations, and my favourite ones are his portraits of Salma Hayek and Jennifer Garner.  His blog has posts which show off these portraits three at a time, so you can check them out more quickly there.  Of course, you can also look at more of his wonderful art.  Man, I wish I could draw like that!  I'd also like to do something like this though — drawings in sequence with a running theme, every week or so.
• This is something interesting that I came across on Sriharsha's blog.  There's this site called Free Rice which shows you a set of words, to which you have to find the meanings.  For every answer you get right, 10 grains of rice are donated to the UN to help end world hunger.  It also shows you your vocabulary level as you're going through the words.  I contributed around 1700 grains yesterday, and my vocab level was somewhere around 38 to 40.

This was somewhat of a slow weekend, coming after a generally slower and duller than usual week itself.  Nothing much else to report, except for the fact that Varun finished writing his CAT exam today.  Hard to believe it was five years ago that I wrote it!

Let's hope the coming week and weekend is better...

EDIT: 22:10: From the Medusa site, I came across Humberto Ramos's blog and this page on that site.  What a lovely piece of art!  I like Ramos's art ever since seeing it on Spectacular Spider-Man from 2005, and he doing a page based on Fight Club, one of my all-time favourite movies?  I couldn't ask for anything better (except of course, that he do the whole movie).
