TPM to get MST3Ked
Sort of… Rifftrax commentary from Michael Nelson and Kevin Murphy on Episode I will be out tomorrow.
Crime and punishment
Most adorable things ever
Chibi Marvel figures at the Tokyo Hobby Show. Wasn’t there a Star Wars version of these at one point, or am I thinking Kubricks? (No, not the Burger King toys: These are way cuter.) In any case, I WANT SOME. Gentle Giant needs to go there. (via Fandom Lounge)
Pet costumes in the wild
Well, Cute Overload, not exactly the wild. Still, there’s a pug in a Vader costume and weiner dogs dressed up like bananas, can’t beat that.
Pumpkin time!
Almost Halloween, time for the annual pumpkin-carving post… Alas, our old favorite, Zombie Pumpkins has gone for paid membership this year, although unlimited access does go for as little as $2. There are a tone of great stencils to choose from, including Star Wars, Buffy, and Pirates of the Carribean.
But the geek community moves ever on, and this year’s hot custom pumpkins include the Daleks, Cylons, a pirate, and even an actual PC. MAKE and CRAFT have even set up a contest and a Flickr pool for geek-ready pumpkins.
More pumpkin links
- Extreme pumpkin. On fire, puking, drowning… you name it, it’s here.
- Weird O’Lanterns. Includes a cannible pumpkin, carvings inspired by Goatse and Calvin and Hobbies, and the MOST HORRIFYING PUMKIN OF ALL!
- Klingon Pumpkin. Exactly what it sounds like.
Next Mimobot: Chewbacca
This time, the ears make sense. Okay, so maybe Wookiees don’t have adorable round little ears on the very top of their heads. Still, it’s the thought that counts.
Blast from the past
An old web classic: The Scout Walker Kama Sutra. And yes, it’s exactly what it sounds like.
I thought for sure I’d blogged this before, but apparently that was the first incarnation of the blog, now lost to the ether (or perhaps Jeff’s hard drive.)
And I’m all out of bubblegum.
“Aren’t you a little short for a Stormtrooper?” gets some love as one of Hollywood’s best put-downs in The Independent’s best (and worst) lines in the history of film. “Use the force, Luke.” also ranks among their choices for best one-liners.
Video Monday
Under the Tusken Sun. You knew someone would eventually make this fan film…
I’m not a huge Family Guy fan, but they have done some amusing Star Wars riffs, some collected here by Stewie’s Playground.
Judge the Cinemax ‘Fix You’ promo for youself.
The Ballad of Han, Luke & Leia. It’s a filk! It’s a video! It’s both!
And to wrap us up, one of the funniest things I’ve ever seen on TV – the tail end of I Love The 80’s: 1983 containing their Return of the Jedi riff and Micheal Ian Black’s He-Men monologue, which me VH1’s bitch for longer than I feel comfortable admitting. Contains actual praise for Mark Hamill’s acting! Bonus: 1980, Olympic hockey, That’s Incredible! and ESB.
