I don’t care so much as to why she’s dressing up, because she seems to be pulling off these costumes pretty well. Or maybe it’s just a ‘any babe wearing a costume is always hot’ thing?
Is Adrianne just trying to be geeky? (why would anyone try to be geeky?) Well, she is a self-confessed World of Warcraft player with a level 80 character, plus her devotion towards science fiction fantasy dress-up is pretty meticulous, so yeah, she’s a geek.
Regardless, Miss Curry likes ‘The Fifth Element’ and that’s good enough for me:
Just as good as its silver-screen counterpart, if not better, because this thing works:
In 2008, Anthony Le set out to do something very important: Build a suit from Iron Man.
The 25-year-old fitness consultant has been a life-long Iron Man fan, and his first attempt was more of a costume. His second? His second is a US$4,000 dollar suit held together by high-impact urethane and, according to PopularScience, over 1,500 rivets and washers. Le sculpted the helmet from clay and then created the finished product from resin.
Outfitted with LEDs, the suit boasts a spinning cylindrical gun spins and a motorized helmet faceplate that can open and close. The gun is powered by pressing a button in the suit’s glove and can be converted into a paintball gun.
Le decided to make this War Machine suit, the one that Stark’s buddy Jim Rhodes wears in Iron Man 2, because, as he tells PopSci, “it just looks more hardcore”. That it does. [Kotaku]
Very cool guys; the world needs more random cool stuff like this:
This is one of over 100 different missions Improv Everywhere has executed over the past eight years in New York City.
For our latest mission, we brought the movie Ghostbusters to life in the reading room of The New York Public Library at 42 Street. The 1984 movie begins with a scene in the very same room, so we figured it was time for the Ghostbusters to make an encore appearance.
Former NASA advanced space illustrator Kurt Wenner specializes in painstakingly rendered street paintings that fool the eye and hurt the brain.
Wenner has been commissioned by companies, festivals, and the Catholic Church to create his meticulous murals all over the world. Up next: installations in London and Taiwan. [io9]
This guy has mad skills. J. Scott Campbell (Gen13, Danger Girl) gives these Disney princesses a mature comic makeover. Not complaining or anything, but these seem a bit much for the Disney crowd. (Know what a stripper is yet kids?)
Poor Timmy. This is well made, and well deserved of its accolade. “Facebook Manners And You” is now an Official Webby Award Honoree for Best Writing and Comedy:
Do you have good Facebook manners? Timmy and Alice don’t. Watch their bad behavior to learn the dos and don’ts of Facebook breakups.
Correction; Redditor Fookhar didn’t make this, but he did bring it to my attention: This lovingly put together series of trunk shots from Quentin Tarantino movies, convincingly makes the case that this is one of the auteur director’s many, many obsessions.
Bigtime bonus points for including From Dusk till Dawn (which he didn’t direct but did write) thereby catching Tarantino in his own shot:
The makers of South Park were threatenedby an extremist Muslim website, warning South Park creators Trey Parker (right) and Matt Stone (left) that “they will probably wind up” assassinated like Dutch documentary filmmaker Theo van Gogh for producing an episode (Season 14 Episode 6 #201) of their animated series that, in part, lampooned the fear of the media to depict the Prophet Muhammad.
Kyle Broflovski gives a monologue, though only a continuous audio bleep was heard during the episode’s broadcast. Muhammad is visually obscured by a black box. Comedy Central was responsible for both instances of censorship, drawing criticism from audiences who felt the network did so in response to Muslim extremists’ threats.
Well here’s the answer from the folks who create The Simpsons: “South Park, we’d stand by you if we weren’t so scared.
