Freddie Wong makes great action films, such as one using light graffiti, another in which guns fire flowers, and one that depicts socially deviant Jedi.
His creation embedded above is called Time Crisis, in honor of the video game series of the same name. It's a pitch-perfect interpretation of the genre, including enemies that pop into view only when approached, hapless hostages, and guns that never, ever run out of ammunition.

Greg Smith made a mailbox that looks like a X-Wing fighter:
I made this so long ago, it is actually in need of weathering repairs and repainting. I never expected it to survive vandalism or theft for half a decade. But at five feet long and a five foot wingspan, theft would be quite difficult. Everybody from letter carriers to pizza delivery go out of their way to say how much they like it.

I've previously featured deviantART user lily-fox's depiction of Woody from Toy Story in Red Dead Redemption. Another piece of hers is this presentation of Woody as DC comic book hero Jonah Hex. At the link, you can read her character analysis of Hex.

How do you get through to him? How do you make him understand that you really do love him, or you wouldn't be dragging him out to this alien planet to hunt humans?

If you only watch one video online today, make it this one. A band called Pig with the Face of a Boy made this song, entitled "A Complete History Of The Soviet Union Through The Eyes Of A Humble Worker, Arranged To The Melody Of Tetris."
At first I thought that it was going to be one of those awful Soviet chic presentations, glamorizing life under that regime. But no, it's actually quite a remarkable expression of music, animation, and historical storytelling. Watch it.
