Hayao Miyazaki’s latest feature Ponyo opened at number nine spot on the US box office chart with an estimated $3,506,000 during its opening weekend from 927 theaters. After its first weekend, Ponyo has already become the 8th highest grossing theatrical anime released in the United States, reports AnimeNewsNetwork. Ponyo, which follows the story of an ordinary boy and his friendship with a goldfish who wishes to be human, has been getting glowing reviews from the critics and has been rated 93% fresh at the RottenTomatoes Tomatometer with a critical consensus which says, “While not Miyazaki’s best film, Ponyo is a visually stunning fairy tale that’s a sweetly poetic treat for children of all ages.”

Joystiq says:

“When one conjures up thoughts of Silent Hill, rarely do such thoughts wander in the direction of My Little Pony. That is, unless you’re clickclackcat, an enterprising eBay member who readily connected the two incredibly disparate franchises. Currently up for auction are the gruesomely darling ponies seen above, one in the likeness of Pyramid Head, and another made to resemble a member of Alchemilla Hospital’s famed nursing staff.

If you have eccentric tastes (or a particularly macabre little girl), feel free to place a bid.”

I’m even more excited for this movie after seeing this new theatrical trailer, if that’s even possible. I love how real all of the creatures look, it’s a nice change from the usual CGI that seems to have taken over the big screen. It also looks so cute and I really want that little boys onesie. When Hot Topic makes it, because you know they will, I’m definitely getting it. The movie will be released October 16th. You can view the trailer here.

I know that this is everywhere right now, but I feel like I must mention it. Behold the ChefStack pancake machine!! Engadget describes it as “a giant, automated machine with internal rollers, and its entire purpose is to do nothing but make pancakes (roughly 200 per hour). Using pre-filled bags of batter, this dude does all the work. This device, which seems to be targeted at restaurants, will run you about $3,500 if you really want to get your hands on one.” Yikes, who knew pancakes could be so expensive. Hooray for gluttony!!

I came across this in my travels today, and once the laughing stopped, I was suddenly stricken with horor. I couldn’t help but thinking that there are probably some kids who have attempted this…

What makes this 10 billion times better is…wait for it…it’s a shirt that can be purchased here. It is available in either blue or red, unfortunanly not for very long. So get on this now!!
