Except now we’re all going to think about the first few minutes of Up, and then we’re all going to cry. By James Hance, who makes tons of these amazingly sweet geeky prints. (via Blastr)

You guys, I could not be more excited about this. We Love Fine, maker of fine geek t-shirts, is running a contest to find the best t-shirt design with this theme: Jem and the Holograms. The prize is $2,500 and will be judged by none other than the voice of Jem/Jerrica herself, Samantha Newark! Be still my beating ’80s heart!

  • Yesterday, we told you about how the MPAA rating system gave the documentary Bully too strong a rating for the people who need to see it the most.

But he’s not exactly taking it back. Fine. He doesn’t deserve cookies anyway. (via The Jane Dough)
  • Australia has its own “teens in a dystopian future” series of books which has also been turned into a movie. But io9 doesn’t seem to consider it a threat to The Hunger Games at all. Read their review of Tomorrow, When the War Began, then get it on VOD. If you still feel the need.
