You know, Star Wars only shows the Dark side of Darth Vader. But I was curious about Vader’s mundane everyday moments, so I hired a spy to find out what he’s really like when he’s not hanging out at the Death Star. Hold on to your helmet…this may surprise you. Vader takes a swim Vader [...]

Even music and retail icons like Christina Aguilera and Target know the value of channeling superhero popularity in their advertising. In this Target commercial (that promotes the release of Christina Aguilera’s new best-of album, sold exclusively at Target), Aguilera [...]

The upcoming Watchmen movie is generating lots of buzz, largely due to the theatrical trailer now showing before the new James Bond movie. Here’s the new trailer. Wow, this movie looks intense! “Maybe someone’s picking off costumed heroes…” Uh oh, that can’t end well. Alan Moore’s Watchmen is arguably THE best, most celebrated graphic novel ever made. [...]

Rambo Imitator Jailed over Toy Knife

FunkyLady — Wed, 12 Nov 2008 15:58:07 +0000

There’s a reason mum told you not to play with knives. But why didn’t she ever warn you not to play with plastic ones (especially if you’re planning on dressing as Rambo for a night out on the town)? British student, Anthony Radley, 21, must have missed that lecture. He was approaching a friend’s house [...]

Rabbit Hunter Costume

FunkyLady — Fri, 07 Nov 2008 17:58:56 +0000

Admittedly, I’ve never seen a costume quite like this one before…kind of gives a whole new meaning to the phrase “rabbit hunter,” doesn’t it? I think it’s both cool and a little, um, disturbing. The only information I could seem to find about this costume was that the picture was posted on the [...]
