Let the future of law enforcement be the future drinking vessel for your favorite beverage. It’s Robocop. Err, Robocup. Your sip punk! This crime-fighting vessel looks just like your favorite cyborg cop.
I’d buy that for a dollar! Seriously, this will be one of the coolest mugs that you own. Get yours from Firebox or Amazon.
This collection of Babylon 5 wallpapers features some stunning images that you will not want to miss. I think my favorite has to be Ambassador Kosh playing the game with that Shadow creature. I already missed the show terribly, but this just makes me all the more homesick for that shining beacon in the night.

Ask anybody what their favorite original Star Trek episode is and 9 out of 10 people will answer, “Mirror, Mirror”. It is an amazing episode that turns everything on it’s head, taking Kirk and crew to a parallel universe. This cosplay based on the classic episode comes from Thunderfairy and we love it. Photography by Phenrriz Fotografia.
She stars as a crew member from that parallel universe and even gets to hang out with bearded Spock. Well done! This is some nice eye candy. Of course I’ve always been partial to that colorful bridge set.
Neill Blomkamp working on an Alien movie? I like that idea. Can you even imagine what such a movie would look like? Well, just check out these images. The other day he posted some concept art from an Alien project that he was working on.
Apparently he was not working on this for the studio officially, but just for kicks. Now I just want to see this movie come to life. It would have been a wild ride, that’s for sure. Excuse me while I stare at these images for a few hours and dream of what could have been.

If you are a fan of the Doctor’s sonic screwdriver, you can get this print by David Wildish from Society 6. It shows the Doctor’s favorite gadget in the order they were used in the show.
I think the main thing to learn from this cool print is that over time the sonic has become more complicated in design and if you go by the show, it also does more these days and is certainly used more often. Good old Peter Davison used it maybe once before his got fried, because he didn’t want his Doctor to overuse it.
The Poster Posse recently paid tribute to Ridley Scott’s classic sci-fi horror film Alien, for the film’s 35th Anniversary this year. I can’t believe it has been that long. Time flies when you are enjoying great Sci-Fi.
Below are several pieces of art that were submitted for the first phase of the tribute project. This is some fantastic art from one of our favorite groundbreaking movies.
Even though Doctor Who is technically a kid’s show,(I know. I don’t buy it either) they often try to push the envelope when dealing with scary imagery and terrifying concepts. It can be a hard balancing act, scaring viewers, while not scaring them away. Series 8 had mummies, cyborg zombies and other scary stuff. Just realize that what we saw on screen could have been so much more terrifying.
This concept art from Millennium FX comes from the Radio Times and it shows us just how much scarier season 8 could have been. If kids do indeed hide behind the sofa while watching Doctor Who, some of this stuff may have had them hiding behind locked doors.
It’s the 30th anniversary of David Lynch’s Dune, so now is a good time to take a look at this rare documentary. Back in 1983 this short film was shown on the convention circuit to get people all hyped up for the movie’s release in 1984. It is titled Destination Dune and if you like the movie you’ll want to spare 6-minutes to check it out.
It shows some scenes being rehearsed, a look at the prop and model shop, David Lynch discussing designs with special effects coordinator Carlo Rambaldi and more. Even Frank Herbert himself. They really packed in a lot in this short documentary, which was included in the 2004 UK DVD release of Dune. It’s a rare treat for fans.
This ongoing LEGO chibi micro contest is fun. Not to mention all kinds of cute and creative. Below are just some of the neat Sci-Fi vehicles that LEGO fanatics have created in chibi style. These are all done in micro scale. Some of the entries get really creative.
I’m always impressed at what people can make with LEGO. You’ll see several famous vehicles that you recognize from TV and movies, just much much smaller and much much cuter. I especially like that Landspeeder.
Megan Lara’s series Ladies of Battlestar Galactica (For Quantum Mechanix) shows the women from the show in the style of various classic works of art. For instance Starbuck is drawn in the style of Polish Art Deco painter Tamara de Lempicka. Sharon “Athena” Agathon is in the Art Nouveau style of Austrian symbolist painter Gustav Klimt.
They all look amazing and dare I say it? It paints them all in a new light. It is the perfect combination of geeky and classy.
