Check out these Awesome Paper Superhero Toys from Behance user Marwan Ashraf. They are cute little heroes made entirely of paper. I’m not sure what the process is, but it must have taken him a long time to create these. Check out more on his page.
I’m not sure that this movie will match the original two Predator movies, but it looks like Shane Black has done a great job. This second trailer for The Predator gets me excited for the movie. There’s one and only one super cool thing that you need to know about what happens in this trailer: While “The Predator” is getting busy killing on humans, ANOTHER one shows up and picks a fight with the first one. Now I need to know what happens.

These Star Trek Discovery Insignia Badges look great and are made from layers of mirrored acrylic and brushed metal textured acrylic for an accurate appearance. They look great and can be customized with officer rank. They also have magnetic back strips. I’m not a big fan of the badges that they use on this show, but these look great.
This Back To The Future Clock Tower Limited Edition Coin is an officially licensed limited edition coin. It may even be legal tender in the future, so it’s great to take with you when you time travel in a DeLorean. Of course everything costs a lot more in the future, so maybe get a bunch of these. It’s limited to just 9,995 pieces worldwide. Awesome.
Students at Chalmers University of Technology in Gothenburg, Sweden, are working on a real-life version of TARS from Interstellar. This is a smaller version of TARS and it doesn’t move quite as well as the movie version, but given enough time these students can probably get it working even better. They did a fantastic job on this robot. This is a hard one to recreate.

The Millennium Falcon’s design is so iconic, it’s probably not a great idea to mess with it. Otherwise, you get what we are calling the Millennial Falcon, the design they actually used in the Solo movie. Here are 30 other designs that James Clyne, the design supervisor for Solo: A Star Wars Story, and his team came up with. They’re not much better than the movie version. Basically, all they did was combine the Falcon with parts from other Star Wars ships. Like adding some Y-wing parts, making one look like a Star Destroyer, adding TIE Fighter wings and other nonsense. These are every bit as bad as what we got in the movie.
The moral of the story? Don’t mess with a classic.

The star of 2001: A Space Odessey is clearly the Star Child. Believe it or not, the original prop is still out there and it looks pretty good after all of these years. These days it is part of a traveling Stanley Kubrick Exhibition. Check out Atlas Obscura for all kinds of fun facts about the Star Child. It is well worth your time.
Summer is here so it’s time for a picnic. Why not enjoy your sunshine and food aboard a vessel from a galaxy far, far away? Use these Star Wars Millennium Falcon and TIE Fighter Picnic Blankets. Dine in style aboard the Falcon or dine like an Imperial fighter pilot. These are officially licensed and come with a carry bag. They also have a waterproof base.
In space, no one can hear you scream. Or open a letter. You can’t hear anything in space. Anyway, the Alien Xenomorph letter opener is the perfect desk accessory for a Colonial Marine or regular folks like you and me. It’s an Alien head (from Aliens) with a removable tongue, which holds the blade of the letter opener. Open all of your mail as if a Xenomorph is devouring it. Too bad it doesn’t really eat up those bills.
