Alien Chest-Burster Custom LEGO Figure Is Beautifully Ugly
Artist pirie1 knew what he was doing when he created this piece for Halloween.
There’s something really striking about this photo of an Alien bursting out of the chest of a custom LEGO figure.  The contrast of horrific violence against a normally-placid, mirthful visage.

You know what I love about zombies?  So damned delicious.
Obviously Courtney of Courtney’s Cakes agrees with me.  And everybody knows that agreeing with me is the first step to preventing filthy, filthy Communism.

I give and I give and I give.  Then, when I’m done giving… I try to watch five minutes of Heroes and end up turning off the TV in disgust.

And then I give some more.  This week I’m giving away a copy of the brand new Tropic Thunder - Unrated Director’s Cut DVD, courtesy of t...

Custom-Made Batman Transformer Hates Disney-Themed Toys Almost as Much as I Do
Of course I was disheartened by a couple of the painfully-misguided reactions to last week’s Mickey Mouse Transformer atrocity.  (FYI, if you ever find yourself describing a piece covered on this blog as “cute”… something has gone terribly awry.  Please adjust your settings.)...

Mickey Mouse Transformer Visits a Plague Upon My Eyes
It’s a widely-known rule of thumb within the four walls of my living room that adding zombies or monkeys to an entertainment property can practically guarantee success. Or perhaps you haven’t heard of the best-selling Marvel Zombies series (super heroes + zombies) or the hilarious...

I don’t want to overwhelm you with these “geek steals” this week.  I mean, I know how most of you prefer to pay full price for all of your purchases, in service to your country and its flailing economy.  Which is perfectly respectable of you.  Cheers.
