Darkness Falls Across The Land: 100 Years of Vincent Price
To celebrate 100th birthday of Vincent Price, Zach Bellissimo drew 100 of his roles on Sticky Notes. Naturally, who wouldn't?
My first encounter with Vincent Price was on the cheapo Canadian TV show The Hilarious House of Frightenstein. I had no idea at the time this campy host was such a horror icon.

Homer No Beer Function Well Without

The Son Of Clockwork Orange
From designer Jimmy Thomason: "This is my take on René Magritte’s The Son of Man, with a little Kubrick twist thrown in. I’ve always loved surrealist art and A Clockwork Orange is one of my wife’s favorite movies, so while we were talking about the movie recently, this design popped into my head."

The Galactic Empire Times
If you haven't seen this parody of the New York Times/death of Osama bin Landen, it's worth checking out. It's got online news media down to a science, complete with comments: "Why are we still giving aid to Tatooine? They probably knew of Kenobi's existence the whole time and even helped him! That whole planet is just a big hive of scum and villainy." to op-eds: "Their Only Hope: The War on the Rebllion After Obi-Wan Kenobi"
Actually, it's the comments that really make it. (Thanks, @boyreporter)

The One Where The Friends Get Superpowers
Through a strange series of events the Central Perk crew took on the powers of the Super Friends to become the Super Whiners:Matt Le Blanc as Superman - perfect choice, all brawn, very little brain.
Monica Geller as Green Lantern - I've no idea, really, why. Guess she had to be someone.
Chandler Bing as Batman - a nice choice as the most neurotic of the superheroes.
Phoebe Buffay as Aquaman - one talks to cats, the other to fish.
Rachel Green as Wonder Woman - this really should have been Monica's role, though the hair was a wonder.
Ross Geller as Robin - yep, they were both useless. (Link via Karl Heitmueller)

Why So Ultraviolent, Droogs?
The Joker as Clockwork Orange's Alex would be terrifying. Alex was redeemable — they were able to, through mental torture, reach his moral core. I get the feeling that the Joker would have enjoyed being forced to watch graphically violent films. It would only make him crazier.
