Welcome to this week’s On the Radar where we delve into all corners of the entertainment, tech and geek Internets for news, views and whatnot that may have escaped our regular coverage this week. Let is know if we missed something interesting. Otherwise, on to the links!
• Have you seen this Emmy Winning Star Wars Fan Film?
• In Star Trek: the Next Generation casting news we wonder WHO could have been Geordi LaForge?
• We love robots, but we can’t stop simultaneously laughing and shaking our heads when we watch this video.
• Here’s some of the coolest looking custom consoles we’ve never seen. Jealous? Hell yes.
• Apparently, girls were pissed at the director of The Human Centipede during casting when they read the script. Are we surprised? No. Have you seen the movie?
• Quentin Tarantino will get his very own Friar’s Club Roast. It’s certainly a better idea than Flava Flav or Hasselhoff. Although, that Hoff one was pretty damn funny.
• Football could have something to do with everyone in the country Tivo’ing this year’s Oscars. What?
• In case you were wondering (or worried about your own problem) here’s a list of the 12 heaviest drinkers in the history of TV. Not on the list? It’s probably because you’re not famous and nobody cares.

Jimmy Kimmel brings us a phenomenon of pop icons clashing in The Jersey Shore Saga: Friggin’ Twilight.
We’ve been to Comic-Con, so our standards for costumes are pretty high. This General Grevious costume still takes the cake.
Peter Travers of Rolling Stone Magazine has seen Inception, and he says you’ll love it.
The Food Network can be pretty boring for non-foodies, but unnecessarily censoring parts of it can make it fun in a whole new way.
Megan Fox is campaigning to play Rainmaker in a Gen 13 movie. Considering how Jonah Hex went, shouldn’t she just stop?
The world of independent film keeps growing in quality and professionalism, and the newest film The 3rd Letter is proof of just that.
What if Nintendo made Halo 3? Only hilarity, that’s what.
In other Twilight news, Robert Pattinson is allegedly a descendant of Dracula. With that brow, our first guess would’ve been Frankenstein’s Monster.

Warning: This review contains mild spoilers and contains disturbing subject matter. Read at your own risk.
Tom Six is one sick bastard, and that isn’t necessarily an insult. The Danish filmmaker wrote and directed The Human Centipede (First Sequence), one of the most visually disturbing films I have ever seen. I almost had to take a break while watching it, and that has never really happened to me before.
The Human Centipede takes place in Germany. Dr. Heiter is a maniacal ex-surgeon who became world renowned for separating Siamese twins. Now he is obsessed with connecting things, and his first experiments are on his three Rottweilers. A tombstone on his property is engraved with “My sweet 3 dog,” a foreboding sign of things to come.
He is ready to start experimenting on humans, and much to his delight, two unwitting victims literally come knocking on his door. American tourists Jenny and Lindsay get lost on their way to go clubbing, then get a flat tire. While they are trying to decide what to do, they are approached by a gentleman in a Mercedes, who doesn’t speak English and starts making lewd gestures toward the gals.
