Spaceballs: The Schwartz Awakens Poster Art

Spaceballs The Schwartz Awakens Poster Art
Artist Joshua Budich created this series of Spaceballs poster art. It parodies Star Wars: The Force Awakens. Naturally it makes me want another Spaceballs movie, like now. Spaceballs: The Schwartz Awakens would be the perfect title for it as well. These posters are pretty perfect. I love the colors and the scenes that Joshua chose to highlight. These images really hit you.

I hope Mel Brooks does make a new Spaceballs movie. He did recently say that he was working on a sequel, but apparently the working title is Spaceballs: The Search For More Money. Maybe he will rethink that now.

Awesome Female Star-Lord Cosplay

Awesome Female Star-Lord Cosplay
To quote Keanu Reeves, “Whoa!” Artful Anarchy is the most beautiful Star-Lord ever! If you were going to cast a female in the role, this is exactly what I would want. It all comes together perfectly in this cosplay. The hair, the makeup, the costume. The photography. She nails every aspect and leaves us wanting more.

The first photo is by York In A Box. Just stunning.

Chris Pratt and Dave Bautista Guardians of the Galaxy Screentest

Watch Chris Pratt Audition With Dave Bautista for ‘Guardians of the Galaxy’ (Exclusive)
Sure, today we take it for granted that Chris Pratt and Dave Bautista are in fact Star-Lord and Drax from Guardians of the Galaxy, but they had to work for these roles just like any other actor. These roles could have gone to others. Luckily for all of us, the perfect actors were found. It could not have worked out better.

Check out this video of the pair auditioning or screen-testing for the roles. It’s always fun to see actors playing the part so early on. This was released as part of the Marvel Cinematic Universe Phase 2 box set. Enjoy. It is worth watching.

Every Star Wars Vehicle To Scale


Scott Park has illustrated the spaceships and vehicles from the original Star Wars trilogy to scale. Yes it is as awesome as it sounds. We get to see how a Ronto compares to a TIE-Fighter, to a Tauntaun and on and on. Scott did a great job on this animation. It really puts things into perspective. Some of the sizes may surprise you. For instance, I had forgotten how large those B-Wings were. They are about the size of an Imperial shuttle. Fun stuff.

Pop Culture Characters In Disguise

Pop Culture Characters In Disguise
Alex Solis has created an art series that shows familiar pop culture characters in disguise as other pop culture characters. Below are just a few to whet your appetite. He has many more on his Instagram page. I’m not sure why, but there is something very appealing about seeing these characters inside of other characters. I really like that Gizmo is hiding inside of a Furby. I knew it all along.
