The Breakfast Club Vs. The X-Men


Asks Rahzzah: "How about, instead of reboots, Hollywood starts doing mash-ups?" Oh, yes please! Hey Hollywood, look though a few pages of this blog if you need any inspiration. (The Xavier's Club by Rahzzah, via Comics Alliance)

A collection of famous fictional twins as they may have looked in the womb. I can only imagine that babies being born with weapons and clothing would be a little disturbing. (Film Twins by Mr. Whaite, via That Geek Lover)

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


Graphic designer Jerod Gibson has created a series of typographical posters using quotes from classic movies and TV. Awesome stuff and it was hard to pick just one, but you can't ever go wrong with a good Homer Simpson quote. (Thanks, boyreporter)

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."

So if Darth Vader is Davy Jones, who took over the Flying Dutchman when he died? It should be the Emperor, but Vader killed him. So would it be Luke? (Davy Vader by Plinio Pinto at Draw2D2)

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)

50 Ways To Be A Bad Guy


You Just slip out the back, Jack (Torrance)
Make a new plan, Lo Pan
You don't need to be coy, Sauron
Just get yourself free
Hop on the bus, Stay-Puft
You don't need to discuss much
Just drop off the key, Audrey
And get yourself free

Ok, Sauron was a bit of stretch, but don't let that take away from the awesomeness of illustrator Robert Ball's Fifty Baddies. (via Hello Zombie)

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)

Chuck Norris Is Mona Lisa


This is not a modern mashup but an actual Leonardo Da Vinci portrait of Chuck Norris, who kicked a hole in the space time continuum to 1503. As a bonus, a portion of the proceeds from every print sold will be donated to St. Jude's Children's Cancer Research Center - they are trying to roundhouse kick cancer in the nuts!

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.

My coworker Ron (@boyreporter; Boy Reporter's Nookbook) — who goes well above and beyond — picked me up a kick-ass Sloan poster at from the Toronto Comic Arts Festival this weekend (which I sadly missed), designed by Mike Holmes.
