Puzzle Description:
I've got a mint condition absolutely nothing sitting here ready to go to the first correct contestant.

Okay, I see maybe a comet#2: John Macdonald (perlwolf) on Mar 3, 2013
Or maybe the business end of a dull pencil
Although the right end looks like it could be a face - maybe pencil-head?
Joel, one of those is correct about the image.#3: Brian Bellis (mootpoint) on Mar 3, 2013 [SPOILER]
Is it Night of the Comet"?#4: John Macdonald (perlwolf) on Mar 3, 2013
Nope, the image is not part of the movie's title.#5: Norma Dee (norm0908) on Mar 3, 2013
Armageddon?#6: John Macdonald (perlwolf) on Mar 3, 2013

Comet is the actual image, not a meteor. The movie is a recent one. However, a comet is not a central part of the movie, just a recurrent link (it recurs somewhat more obviously in the book).#14: Julia Stanfield (stanfield.julia) on Mar 4, 2013
Cloud Atlas!#15: John Macdonald (perlwolf) on Mar 4, 2013 [SPOILER]
Bingo! Julia, your absolutely nothing prize is on its way - it is tied to the leg of the homing chicken which is busy running in circles to get up to speed.#16: Web Paint-By-Number Robot (webpbn) on May 30, 2013
The comet was a theme through the story - the central character in each era had a comet tattoo. Each one also saw an account of their predecessor (journal, letters, book or movie dramatization), each had some sort of contact with cannibalism, and each had a feeling of connection with the others before and after.
I tried to suggest that reincarnation/connection by putting a white comet inside the black one in the puzzle.
Found to be solvable with moderate lookahead by infrapinklizzard.
