Well it makes sense, doesn’t it! Love the shield. Design by Ben Chen. Check out all of his pop art in his incredible Flickr feed, including plumbers in the 1930′s featuring Mario and Luigi and cutie-pie designs with knitting pandas and a Darth Vader goose–yeah, you read that right–laying a Death Star egg.

Sillof, the artist who brought us Steampunk Superheroes, World War II Star Wars, and Samurai Wars, has a new collection of sculptures that sets the personalities from Star Wars into a western story! Read a description of each character and how they came about at his website. Only the “good guys” are pictured here. Link
What happens when you mashup Moby Dick and Apocalypse Now? You get a movie script by Perry Hall, available in its entirety in a .pdf.
MAN (GENERAL AHAB)
Blood and thunder! Mobys gone off the reservation– he’s swimming and fighting out there, General, answering to no one but himself. An albino daemon! He’s collected his own army from the native rank and is running completely amok. He must be stopped!
ISHMAEL (VOICE OVER)
This overbearingly grim man, Ahab, was roughly of sixty years; bronzed, weathered like an ancient tree, his form suggested a man released from a burning stake just before its fire could fully engulf him. The mad glint in his eye began a tale; the barbaric white leg upon which he partly stood– which had been fashioned from the polished bone from a sperm whale’s jaw– completed it.
GENERAL BILDAD
Captain Ishmael, this be General Ahab. Ahab has… encountered Moby in the field, or should I say, upon the waters. He be an expert on our renegade Colonel.
We can assume that the part of Ishmael should be played by a young Martin Sheen, and it won’t be the first time Marlon Brando has been likened to a white whale. Link -via Metafilter

What if the characters from Star Wars invaded the super hero world of Batman? Graphic design student Luca Lago, who has a blog full of imaginative doodles, drew each character as a bat-hero. Link -via Buzzfeed
Comments Off The right music makes a world of difference. In this remixed movie trailer, the family musical The Sound of Music turns into a zombie Nazi thriller! -via Buzzfeed

“Roxanne” by The Police mixes well with “Rudolph, the Red-nose Reindeer” in this mashup by mojochronic. -via Laughing Squid
A trailer for the movie Blue’s Clues, if it were directed by Christopher Nolan. It makes sense, as the first generation that grew up watching Steve and Blue solve puzzles in three clues are now watching crime dramas. -via The High Definite

In this version of the Thanksgiving story, Mario fled a famine to try raising power-ups in the New World. He had a hard time until he and his people made friends with the natives, which, of course, eventually leads to a feast. Link -Thanks, Scott!

Add Hans Zimmer’s music for Inception and you can turn any movie into a cool trailer. Take, for instance, Jim Carrey’s Dumb & Dumber.

So why does Zimmer’s music work so well? NPR’s Robin Hilton has the secret.
Joseph Senior photoshopped Hello Kitty into a variety of pop culture crossover / mashup. Can’t beat the Darth Kitty with a ribbon bow helmet! Toysrevil has more: Link – via The Jailbreak
The Kleptones mashed up the Beatles song “Come Together” with a lot of other songs, and Crumbs Chief pieced together a video for it as part of the Videotones project. How many of these dance scenes do you recall from the original movies? -via mental_floss
What happens when the Jawas of Tatooine encounter Nazis on a secluded Mediterranean island? They end up as the heroes of the story, at least in this re-edited scene from Raiders of the Lost Ark! Even the Tusken Raiders are afraid of the little guerrillas. Link

The artist known as Sillof (previously at Neatorama) combined the characters from Star Wars with the characters from various Pixar movies. Take a look through the gallery and see how logical the choices are. I particularly got a kick out of Obi-Wan Carlobi! Link -via Unreality Magazine
Paul Dateh sings his own harmonies and accompanies himself on the violin. This performance is a medley of recent Top 40 hits from Lady Gaga, Ke$ha, Rhihanna, and Usher. -via I Am Bored
What would Hamlet be like if it had been written by Dr. Seuss? Justin Moran wrote a one-act play summarizing Shakespeare’s masterpiece in this manner. Here is a production of it by the ACME Comedy troupe.

Christian Marclay is a DJ and a composer of mashups, both audio and visual. He puts album covers together to make mashups that are more than the sum of their parts. Link -via mental_floss
This mashup by YouTube user Cody Richeson takes Disney’s 1995 flick A Goofy Movie and re-imagines it as a spooky and surreal David Lynch film. Goofy’s relationship with his son Max is even more disturbing than in the original movie.
Remember Travis Pitts and his awesome design, “We’ve Got Some Work To Do, Now?” Well, he’s still coming up with great ideas, mashing up different threads of pop culture in clever ways.
To paraphrase Travis, I’m frankly surprised no one’s thought of this yet. Bigger image at the Flickr link.

Super Bowl Sunday is nearing fast. Who’s it gonna be, Colts or Saints? Either way, you have to love what Slate V cooked up here; a great imagining of what the game might look like if it were directed by Quinten Tarantino, David Lynch, Wes Anderson, Jean-Luc Godard, or Werner Herzog. Happy game day, everyone!

Those who love to spend their time creating mashups now have another tool in their box, and those that haven’t ever dabbled in the medium have profound access to it now, thanks to YouTube doubler. As someone already discovered, it’s a great way to imbibe in some Gestalt. Above, cockatiel that likes to bang on can with bird picture, mashed up with previously-mixed death metal rooster. Instant band.

If you’ve ever wondered what a Dangerous Minds and Harry Potter mashup would look like, the geniuses at College Humor have got it for
you.
Behold, Dangerous Wands, where a grown-up Hermione Granger went to teach in an inner-city magic school. Screenplay by Ben Joseph (sound track lyrics here),
directed by Sam Reich.

Comments Off What do you get when you cross a pixel-y Italian plumber with some rapidly-falling tetrominoes? Tuper Tario Tros., of course. It’s like regular Mario, except you’ll encounter some obstacles that you’re going to need help surmounting. That’s when you’ll need to toggle to Tetris and use the shapes to help. Have fun!

Dr. Monster (Travis Pitts) created this illustration for his Flickr ‘Stream. Pitts calls it “we’ve got some work to do now,” and it clearly tells a dramatic tale. Note the R.I.P. S+F+D (Shaggy, Fred & Daphne). Link
From the same mind that brought us Mortal Kombat vs. Donkey Kong. Daneboe has another brilliant mashup:
I wonder what George Costanza would think?

If you only saw one YouTube clip today, make it this one. Here's The Golden Age of Video by Ricardo Autobahn, made from movie clips (which ones? David Glover got them all figured out). We Came, We Saw, We Kicked Its Ass. Indeed.
Lyrics, from YouTube submitter slipknotskate1:
1,2,1,2,3,4
We accept her, one of us, we accept her, one of us!
Gooble gobble gooble gobble!
We accept her, we accept her!
We accept her, one of us, we accept her, one of us!
Gooble gobble gooble gobble!
We accept her, we accept her!(We-we) we came, we saw, we kicked it's ass,
I was testing you - and you passed,
Dental plan! Lisa needs braces,
Be required to fart on a regular basis,
I'm gonna make him an offer he can't refuse,
Channel 13 - Eyewitness news!
Robocop, who is he?
Dead or alive you're coming with me.In a hurry to be fed, beady eyes and big blue head.
I'm telling the truth Doc, you gotta believe me,
Why does everything I whip leave me?
My beautiful chocolate! Candy is dandy,
Fava beans and a nice Chianti,
You can count on Slippery Pete,
Suicide will be nice and neat!
I didn't build the Panama canal,
Open the pod bay doors please, HAL,These aren't the droids you're looking for,
These aren't the droids we're looking for,
I am not a number I am a free man!
Rosebud.
To The Idiotmobile!
Right away Michael,
I-I-I-I will not be pushed, filed, stamped, indexed, briefed, debriefed or numbered.We came, we saw, we kicked it's ass,
You don't understand I coulda had class,
Round and tasty on a bun,
Ooh Zippy look what you've done!
Finally! Cast off those lines!
No, I've been nervous lots of times,
Red Rum! What's the matter honey?
Just robbed Boss Hogg all of his money!We came, saw, we kicked it's ass,
Writing checks your body can't cash,
I was elected to lead, not read,
I feel the need - the need for speed,
Watch out for snakes, a good man's loafer,
HQ - my hat looks like a muffin - over,
My god it's full of stars,
There was no driver in the car..In the car (repeat)
Well you see I'm in hot pursuit!
There are only two things I love in this world - everybody and television!
#The Simpsons
#Run With Us!
Ugh - you must be shrooming,
Wait for me Moomin!
Cross live to meet the host of that show, Meat Boy,
I want to go to there.We came, we saw, we kicked it's ass,
An oil tycoon - like a.. moustache,
Nice beaver! I just had it stuffed,
I don't give a shit, close enough,
Where's me washboard? I'll get me coat,
Y-y-y-you're gonna need a bigger boat,
What'd she say? I think she bought it,
Suck it monkeys! I'm goin' corporate!
C'mon let's take a drive! A drive?
Number 5 is alive!
It's only a laugh, no harm done,
Pickles, french fries, yum yum yum,
Bueller, Bueller, Bueller,
It's 2 degrees cooler,
The light that burns twice as bright burns half as long,
Six words in the whole song.We-we-we accept her, one of us, we accept her, one of us!
Gooble gobble gooble gobble!
We accept her, we accept her!
You are number 6 5 4 3 2
I am not a number, I am a free manWe came, we saw, we kicked it's ass,
Give me my 20,000 in cash,
We came, we saw, we kicked it's ass,
I think you woke up the dead with that blast
We came, we saw, we kicked it's ass,
I think fast, I talk fast,
We came, we saw, we kicked it's ass,
Lois, this is not my Batman glass.
