Star Trek: The Next Generation blooper reel

December 31, 2012 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

Over 10 minutes of out-takes, bloopers and gags from Star Trek: The Generation season 2. The original ST:TNG was shot in 35mm film and so this collection has been cropped to YouTube’s 16:9 to enhance the experience. It’s not clear whether this is an official collection or not. It may not be. There’s therefore the […]

Experimental cybernetic demon cosplay

December 31, 2012 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

It’s not all that common to find complete cosplay outfits on sale at Etsy. However, this impressive and very scary cybernetic demon warlord can be yours for just shy of $2,000. The suit has been on sale for a little while without any buyers and despite this being a complete work of art I think […]

The Little Mermaid as Swamp Thing

December 30, 2012 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

I’m enjoying the new Swamp Thing Rotworld comic book series. It’s currently painting a bleak picture for the future. Rosy Higgins, an illustrator from Wales, has a different take with this fantastic piece. This is the Little Mermaid meets Swamp Thing – The Little Swamp Thing. Via Joey Paur at Geek Tyrant.

Tim Burton inspired Han and Chewbacca

December 30, 2012 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

Sometimes a single image can sum up a whole, complex, idea. In this case Keh Choon has an illustration of Han Solo and Chewbacca that says Tim Burton. Will we see Tim Burton produce any of the new Star Wars movies? I doubt it… but you never know.

December 30, 2012 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment
