Coma the Doof Warrior quickly became a fan favorite character in Mad Max: Fury Road because of his sweet onesie and facewrap outfit, his flaming hot guitar grooves and his dedication to showmanship even while in the midst of battle.
He’s a one-of-a-kind Doof warrior in a world full of shiny madmen, and if his life seems appealing to the metalhead in you then heed the call with a little help from Coma.
Mike Wilson is a professional freerunner and parkour athlete. He’s also a father. His son Jayden developed a passion for Spider-Man, so Wilson became SpiderDad! Jayden was diagnosed with terminal brain cancer just after his 4th birthday. For his 5th birthday, Spider-Dad came to visit! The event last fall was captured on video, which eventually got over ten million views. Wilson had further plans to make a Spider-Dad movie to show Jayden, but Jayden died on Christmas Eve, 2014.
The SpiderDad Film was inspired by my son Jayden who sadly lost his 18 month battle at Christmas to a Grade 4 Brain Stem Tumor called, Glyoblastoma Multi-Forme. Before he died, we began filming with the full intention of giving Jayden his very own Premiere at home, with drinks and popcorn. Just like at the cinema. I was very passionate about making this look and feel as real as possible for our little super hero. Even to the finest details of webbing effects, stunts, the Spiderman suit and generally providing a feel good energy about the film.
Sadly, the little fighter became very ill, and his very own Premiere wasn’t able to happen. It became a dedication project to the bravest, and most courageous little boy we know, always willing to give a smile and thumbs up at even the most difficult of times. In addition, we wanted this to also raise awareness and money for the charity who gave our family so much support whilst caring for Jayden, as well as the continued after care for our entire family and his big sister Ella.
We’ve featured the awesome Star Wars costumes of Julian Checkley before. Now let’s get a load of his Batman! The suit design is from the video game Arkham Originals.
Some cool features of the costume:
The armour parts are 3D printed It has a working fireball gauntlet The batarangs fold for storage Batman’s wrist computer displays a loop of the sonar pings from detective mode!
When articles posted online talk about “things you can’t unsee” they’re usually referring to images that are disturbing, heartbreaking or downright gross, but lucky for you this list of “cannot unsee” images won’t keep you up at night.
No, this is simply a collection of geeky pics meant to create some “whaaaa?!” moments and elicit a few laughs, and contains absolutely no seriousness or soul wrenching depravity whatsoever.
You will, however, be exposed to a dozen totally dorky things that will change the way you think about the pop culture symbols (sex and otherwise) you see regularly.
That's how the can't unsee factor embeds itself in your brain, forever making you see Johnny Bravo when you look at the Mockingjay.
Disney's princess characters are drawn to be attractive, likeable and someone girls can relate to, but they’re also extremely normal, and normalcy has limited appeal.
Minions are drawn to be likeable, visually appealing (in a ridiculously cartoony way), and anybody whose imagination got them into trouble while they were growing up can relate to those little yellow yutzes.
So, if princesses and minions are both extremely likeable, combining the two should result in the creation of a mega appealing hybrid, right?
Artistrator Jen Lewis has used her active imagiminionation to combine Disney princesses with banana loving Minions, and while her creations don't exactly prove the theory of hybrid likeability they're definitely unforgettable!
"Mr. Worf, fire." With those words closed part 1 of "The Best of Both Worlds." When that episode of Star Trek: The Next Generation aired 25 years ago this weekend, it was hailed as the greatest cliffhanger in Star Trek history.
The Borg, which were the greatest threat to the Federation in its history, had invaded and captured Captain Picard. They assimilated Picard and made him a Borg drone. In the midst of rumors that actor Patrick Stewart was leaving the show, the first part of the episode ended with Commander Riker ordering the Enterprise to open fire on the Borg cube containing the captive Picard. Fans were electrified.
It's hard to believe (especially if you grew up in the 80s), but the Goonies is turning 30 this year. In celebration of this monumental occassion, Flavorwire has rounded up a great "where are they now" list featuring the current status of all the main actors in the films.
A fan favorite, Sloth, isn't around any more. In fact, the ex-football player died at only 38 from an accidental overdose. Don't worry though, most of the stories aren't so sad, but actually pretty cool.
Even though their princesses are extremely popular Disney is best known for their animal characters, which makes sense considering Mickey Mouse is their most famous character.
Disney feature films include an animal character whenever possible, or a full cast of critters when the story fits, but despite the fur suit they're usually anthropomorphic just like the big Mouse himself.
So what would those animals that talk like, and often act like, people look like as human type people?
A talented artist named Pugletto has taken the time to transform some of Disney's most beloved animal characters into humans, keeping the stylistic essence and personality of each character intact.
When the Hollywood powers that be inevitably decide to reboot and reimagine the Jurassic Park franchise they should consider ditching those dumb old dinosaurs and replacing them with mega sized cats instead.
As soon as cats become larger than humans, so large that people are no bigger than mice in comparison, then the world is truly in trouble.
For dinosaurs can be dazzled into submission with a particularly noisy television program, but cats aren't so easily fooled.
My Neighbor Totoro, Castle in the Sky, Kiki's Delivery Service, Spirited Away, Princess Mononoke, Howl's Moving Castle--they're all here in this amazing tattoo by Andy Kurth of Electric Chair Tattoo in Clio, Michigan. Characters from Hayao Miyazaki's most famous films come to vibrant, colorful life as they inhabit one universe on this man's arm.
Bethesda Softworks has a pretty good sense of humor about their games, and often incorporates humorous elements into their games just to keep the whole thing from becoming a total downer.
The post-apocalyptic series Fallout, which they took over from Interplay in 2008, features a monetary system based on Bottle Caps. Players use bottle caps taken from Nuka Cola bottles as currency, a system which works in the game world because those particular caps are rare, but in the real world we’ve got caps a-plenty.
However, it took Fallout fanatic GatorMacheteJr seven years to save up 2,240 bottle caps, which he promptly sent to Bethesda as payment for a copy of Fallout 4.
Will his dedication to cap collecting pay off, or did he send off eleven pounds of heartache?
Netflix became a household name by being one of the first companies to deliver streaming video service straight to your gaming console, television and computer, ushering in the age of bingewatching.
They continue to expand the boundaries of streaming video service by creating original content and bringing our beloved shows back from the dead, but there’s also a lot of stuff that Netflix does you probably know nothing about.
As we watch their content Netflix is watching us, recording our ratings and viewing habits to deliver more precise recommendations, and they’ll soon be working with Nielsen to record viewership data and create ratings figures for streaming video.
Whether you're a huge Game of Thrones fan or just know the show by reputation, you almost certainly recognize that George R.R. Martin doesn't have any problem killing off his main characters. Without spoiling anything from the finale of the most recent season, it's safe to say that this reputation for death is well earned.
That's why Flavorwire's round up of all characters featured in the pilot and their current state of existence is pretty darn interesting. While the post is full of spoilers, I can tell you that their final score card shows that only 45% of the characters in the pilot are still alive.
I don't know about you guys, but I can't wait to find out who kicks the bucket in the next season.
Video game companies used to rely on slick advertisements, word of mouth and, most of all, box art to sell their cartridges back in the day, and I remember being taken in by this box art time and time again as a kid.
The cover would often show the protagonist engaged in battle with something totally tough, for instance a ninja on a motorcycle fighting off a pack of panthers with his katana plus explosions, but the games rarely lived up to the cover art.
The YouTube channel outsidexbox put together a video called “7 Times Epic Box Art Overpromised Wildly”, revealing some of the worst examples of cover art overselling the actual gameplay.
In the 50s and 60s fear of a nuclear war kept kids and their parents up at night, made school a lesson in disaster preparedness as kids were repeatedly drilled on what to do in case of nuclear war.
In 1952 the first hydrogen bomb was successfully detonated, showing the world that Nagasaki was on the low end of the nuclear devastation spectrum, and a new wave of fear swept through the world.
Responding the best way they knew how artists Peter and Joan Foldes created an animated short entitled A Short Vision, which premiered on The Ed Sullivan Show in 1956.
Sullivan felt this short had a very important message, so he shared it with his viewing audience after preparing them for the horror with this monologue:
“Just last week you read about the H-bomb being dropped. Now two great English writers, two very imaginative writers—I’m gonna tell you if you have youngsters in the living room tell them not to be alarmed at this ‘cause it’s a fantasy, the whole thing is animated—but two English writers, Joan and Peter Foldes, wrote a thing which they called A Short Vision in which they wondered what might happen to the animal population of the world if an H-bomb were dropped. It’s produced by George K. Arthur and I’d like you to see it. It is grim, but I think we can all stand it to realize that in war there is no winner.”
