TARS From Interstellar Cosplay

TARS From Interstellar Cosplay

I’m still not quite sure what to think about TARS and CASE from the movie Interstellar. They were weird. Pretty cool, but weird. They did prove to be very versatile and they are certainly unique. You may not be aware, but they weren’t completely CGI. Sometime puppets were used in certain scenes. This gave cosplayer Iain Heath an excellent idea.

He made his own TARS costume and wore it to the Emerald City Comic Con in Seattle awhile back. I have to say, it looks amazing. It took him 3 months to build it, using wood and metal. The basic frame is simple and effective. There is also a camera and monitor inside, because naturally he needed to see where he was going, so he didn’t run over some poor soul. And yes those are LCD screens on the front. This is some extremely unique and quality cosplay.

Captain Kirk And Doctor Who Sell Computers In These Vintage TV Ads

When computers were new and people could actually afford them, computer companies were getting all kinds of famous faces to hawk their wares. And computer makers had to show us what we could do with computers. This led to some famous people starring in some silly commercials.

Below are two of my favorites. One starring William Shatner, the other series starring Tom Baker and Lala Ward as the Doctor and Romana. The latter has all kinds of vintage charm.
