Today is NASA's Day of Remembrance. I was going to write up something on this, but Doc broke radio silence on his site to have at it. And he says it better than I could. Go and read.
Amazon's sale today is for the complete series of Get Smart. It's $67.99, which is 66% off the list price of $199.95. Nice. This is a fairly swank set, I own it myself and recommend it for any fan of the show. You can snag yours here. That's today only and while stocks last.
Also they've got an indie/international sale with titles as low as $5.99. You can find that here.

Some sites want to make you waste all your time on pop culture news. We do it in one post so we can move onto other things to waste your time with. Enjoy.
Stan Lee is being sued...by the shareholders of Stan Lee Media. They want three quarters of a billion dollars based on the profits from, among other things, Marvel films. Lee is a defendant, so is Marvel, so is Mrs. Lee, so is Avi Arad. The plaintiffs are stating that the profits belong to Stan Lee Media. How in the hell that's feasible, I have no idea. And didn't they already try this once before? Or did somebody forget to dot an I or something like in the Watchmen dispute and there's blood in the water? Source.
Kristen Johnston (3rd Rock) is considering coming on board Absolutely Fabulous U.S. to play Edina. Source.

Crowley and Aziraphale?
Neil Gaiman's The Graveyard Book won the Newbery Medal. And he managed not to swear in amazement and delight at the librarians and teachers who broke the news. Read the story here. Couldn't have happened to a nicer guy.
A new Bonnie and Clyde? Apparently so. Hilary Duff and Kevin Zegers (Dawn of the Dead remake) are set to star. Not a remake of the 1967 film, but a brand new take. I never did catch War, Inc., but I understand Duff broke away from her good girl image so maybe this shouldn't be immediately dismissed. But then again, I understand erotic dancing with a live scorpion will do that for you. Source.
Atkinson's doing Oliver! and now Lenny Henry is doing Othello. Anyone who doesn't think this is cool please raise your hand so you can be slapped. Shows starts at the West Yorkshire Playhouse in Leeds on February 14. Source.
