Just in time for Halloween, Transformers Live points us toward Lionel Lum’s incredible Transformers Bumblebee costume.

Created for the 2008 San Diego Comic Con International, the costume is made out of “foamboard, hobby foam, vinyl signage applique, and is held together with tons of hot glue and some duct tape here and there.”

Lionel says it took him three months to design and build.

He spent 8 hours a day in the suit during the con, and claims it only takes 10 minutes to put on and 5 minutes to remove.

Sometimes it’s the simple things that make us smile. I found this HAL 9000 refrigerator magnet which is being sold on eBay. Badge Bytch is selling it for £3.50, which translates to about $7 American, plus who knows how much shipping. And who wouldn’t want to a Heuristically programmed ALgorithmic Computer? Now if only it had a motion activated sound-clip which would greet you with random sound-bytes from the film like “I’m Afraid I Can’t Let You Do That, Dave.”

Benjamin Carre is a French professional illustrator who has done concept work for UBI Soft’s Cold Fear and Infogames Alone in the Dark. His work is usually dark, and is often sci-fi in nature. I found these wonderful pieces of Star Wars fan art on some message boards. It is important to note that while Carre is a professional, all of these were created out of fandom (ie not commissioned by Lucasfilm). The piece above is titled “The Trophy”. Click on the image to enlarge. You can see some detailing from that piece below.

Just as Clerks pointed out that a bunch of hard working construction were behind the creation of the Deathstar, one must remember that hundreds of unknowing hardware and software developers were probably behind the creation of the computers which eventually destoryed most of humanity in judgement day.

Now you too can be on the Skynet development team with this t-shirt from Split Reason. Only $18.95.

Despite having almost no violence in the film, Kevin Smith’s Clerks was originally given an NC-17 rating by the MPAA based solely on its graphic dialogue. Much like on Zack and Miri, Miramax was able to appeal the ruling and were granted an R-Rating without any cuts.
Wattsei decided to create a visual map of the profane dialogue in the film. Each colored block represents one second in the movie with individual blocks grouped into rows of sixty seconds. These rows form a single column the length of the movie. The color of each block indicates the character speaking at that specific moment in time, Seconds with no active speaker are [...]

In 1980, Stanley Kubrick came to the Timberline Lodge to film one of the all-time great horror classics, THE SHINING.
