Thanks Grandma!

Published by under Images,Movies

stich

Some grandmas knit kittens and bible verses. Mine quotes Liam Neeson.

Just kidding, I’m not going to try to take credit for this awesome piece of cross-stitching. That would be Redditor BehindtheHype’s friend who I am guessing is not in fact anyone’s grandma.

The only way this could be better was if they had Liam Neeson’s face on there too, but I’m guessing that would be one hell of an advanced cross-stitching tactic.

“It’s Bigger on the Inside”

Published by under Images,Movies

bigger

The idea of a magical, mystical object that’s bigger on the inside did not start or end with Doctor Who’s TARDIS, though it’s known for being associated with that phrase the most. Dern and O Abnormal hunted through pop culture history to remind us all the other times such objects have existed.

The only one I thought I’d find here that I didn’t see what the lamp from I Dream of Jeannie, but I guess that just shrinks people down to get inside of it, right? But doesn’t the Pokeball do that too? And do ghosts need all that much room? Oh, the confusing problems of imaginary science. So silly.

Bartkira: The Strangest, Most Amazing Community Art Project I’ve Ever Seen

Bartkira 11

Well, this is exactly what it sounds like. Ryan Humphrey is getting a bunch of artists together to rewrite (and redraw) Akira starring Simpsons characters. Bart is Tetsuo, Milhouse is Kaneda, and a whole host of other familiar faces join in on the action.

I’ve pulled a few over the most completed art (mean colored), and a few of the panels when it actually turns into a graphic novel of sorts. The art, for the most part, isn’t exactly top notch, but that’s sort of the appeal.

This is wacky, and fantastic, and you should check out more of it below: Continue Reading »

Street Fighter Leggings Raise an Important Issue

Published by under Images,Video Games

leggins

One of the quote “gayest” things I’ve ever said is when I remarked that it must be pretty fun to be a girl because they get to wear a lot of different, colorful pieces of clothing, along with accessories and jewelry and cool shoes. Being a guy means your choices are a lot more limited, and it becomes “which sort of collared shirt do I want to wear out tonight” or “should I wear my dark jeans or my really dark jeans?”

Do you understand what I’m saying here? It’s not that I want to dress up in girl clothes as a guy, nor do I long to have ladyparts, but buying clothes as a male is just a drag, and girls can have a lot more fun with it. I think that’s why they like shopping so much. Now you all are probably questioning my sexuality, so I’ll have my fiancee make a post later explaining that I am indeed straight despite my propensity to raise issues like this one.

ANYWAY, case in point, I can never wear Street Fighter leggings in a socially appropriate way, and that is sad.

I Thought When You Won An Oscar You Didn’t Have to Do Stuff Like This Anymore

Published by under Images,Movies

I’m incredibly confused about what’s going on in X-Men: Days of Future Past which is apparently using the cast from both the original X-Men trilogy, and First Class. I get that Days of Future Past is about time travel and what not, but it’s still going to be odd to see all these people either mashed together, or split between two timelines of one film.

Anyway, Bryan Singer tweeted this photo of Jennifer Lawrence in her Mystique ensemble. I bet she really missed spending a zillion hours in the makeup chair, and is super enthused to be back. She is a trooper though. Most recent Oscar winners might play a trump card and bail on a sequel like this where they have to play a minor character that’s a pain the ass to get into costume for, but not Jennifer! Though I do wonder how much they bumped up her salary to get her to come back, as much as I want to believe she did it out of the goodness of her heart.

Also: Peter Dinklage is the villain in this movie. That is awesome.

And the Best Basement Award Goes To…

Published by under Images,Video Games

Arcade 4

 

I remember going to Gameworks as a kid, because I was born too late to ever really go to a “traditional arcade” to hang out. In my mind, it was the coolest place on earth, and I never wanted to leave.

Well, this kid didn’t have to. His father crafted a vintage video game arcade/bar in his BASEMENT which is actually better than most actual arcades I’ve ever been to. It’s filled with classic titles and a few modern ones. Must-haves in my own version of this would be House of the Dead, The Simpsons and Marvel vs. Capcom.

Check out the rest of the photos below, all sent to me by our long lost Nattyb (probably via reddit). Continue Reading »

Wellllll, This Doesn’t Look Promising

Published by under Images,Movies

Well I heard that they were making a live-action Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles movie, which didn’t sound like the best idea, even if we do look at the old ones through nostalgia tinted glasses.

Surprisingly, I don’t have a problem with Megan Fox as April O’Neil (what, like you need an Oscar winner for that role?), but this picture was too ridiculous not to post. I understand how CGI works, but still, this is why acting is harder than it used to be when you have to keep a straight face opposite something like this.

Who knows, maybe this will be an instant classic against all odds? But more than likely it will just be on Netflix Instant a few months after release with 2.7 star rating.

Dan LuVisi Has More Art Than I Thought, And It’s Crazy

Published by under Images,Movies,Video Games

ku-xlarge

We just featured Dan LuVisi‘s Buzz Lightyear and EVE art, but turns out he’s got even more stuff that I missed. Stuff that is so crazy, I owed it to him, and all of you, to feature it.

Yes, that IS Wreck-It Ralph as a barbarian-esque bloody punching machine above. And below you’ll find horrifying, terrifying versions of Bert and Ernie, Finn from Adventure Time, Donald Duck and more. I would be terrified to peak inside this guy’s brain for even five minutes.

Check out the rest of the craziness below: Continue Reading »

When Pokemon Get Old and Bored

Published by under Images,Video Games

bored

From artist Hannes Greyling comes one of the stranger bits of Pokemon fan art I’ve come across in my travels. The idea is supposedly Pokemon being stranded on a desert island, with only their own powers to entertain them. Judging by the wrinkles, they’ve been there quite a long time.

Charmander may be roasting s’mores above, but Squirtle and Bulbasaur are being…less productive than him in their own GIFs which you can check out below. I wonder if he’ll do more than just the three starters? Continue Reading »

A Batch of Star Trek Posters Better Than the Originals

Published by under Images,Movies

Star Trek Posters 10

 

Star Trek Into the Darkness “only” made about $86 million during its five-day opening, a figure many are deeming something of a disappointment for a movie that I guess was supposed to be an uber blockbuster. Seems alright to me, though.

Anyway, perhaps if the marketing was a little better, it might have drawn in a few more people. Posters don’t usually sell a movie like trailers do, but still, this poster art contest from Blurppy is simply fantastic.

They collected a huge host of talented artists to give their own take on Into the Darkness, and you can see the results above and below. Really incredible stuff. Continue Reading »

Cosplay of the Day: Lady Cable

Published by under Comics,Cosplay,Images

nicole marie

Growing up, my love of the X-Men was based not on the comics (which I wasn’t allowed to read), but on the action figures (which inexplicably, I was allowed to buy). Cable quickly became one of my favorite action figures I owned, and I really didn’t know anything about him other than the fact he was Cyclops’ son from the future.

But a metal arm? A glowing eye? A shit ton of weapons? That’s my kind of hero, and he was my favorite until the day I punched Wolverine so hard his arm broke off.

Nicole Marie Jean here is doing him proud with a female version of the character. Perhaps a comic fan can explain to me the little Kuato-like baby attached to him (her).
