I Want Very Much: Custom DC Superheroes Lego Minifigs
Wednesday, September 8th, 2010Lego minifig customizer and photographer Julian Fong–a.k.a., the grown-up equivalent of the kid I would have made friends with in grade school just so I could play with his awesome toys–has created an impeccable custom Lego minifig for just about every* superhero of note from the DC Universe.

Thanks, Bangladesh!: Shameless Incredible Hulk Knock-Off Movie Trailer
Tuesday, August 10th, 2010TaaR CHeeRA EntertainmenT out of Bangladesh describes their HALKa PAGLA short film as a “parody.” Yet, I sense no sense of irony or tongue-in-cheekness amongst the hilariously-terrible CGI effects, production values, and acting.

Not the least of which is the song’s music video, featuring the beefiest Wolverine you’ve ever seen jaded by one too many rooftop battles with Hand [...]

Friday, July 2nd, 2010I know this week has been rife with gag-worthy awful tattoos, so let’s end it with a palate cleanser. Reddit user CaptainInsano literally traded electrical wiring services for a tattoo of Spaceman Spiff from Calvin & Hobbes. Seems like a fair trade, although I probably would have been willing to trade something even more valuable. To [...]
