I got sent this link today about a youtuber Ivan Guerrero. Just looking at his press mentions, I started getting a whole lot of envy tinged with awe. This guy is a genius, and specialises on making “Premakes” (visit his youtube channel).
From the video posting:
Let’s turn back the clock, shall we? Back to a distant time in an alternate universe far, far away… The 50s! It was a simpler age of 3-D movies, and robots named Robby, Gort, and Tobor. A hidden gem of this period in cinema is a little film called “The Empire Strikes Back”, the second chapter in a planned three-part epic science fiction trilogy. While the preceding and succeeding episodes were never actually produced due to budgetary constraints, “Empire” shines as an example of 1950s 3-D space opera. The re-release of this trailer coincides with the 60th anniversary of this amazing film.
Here is the recipe for the trailer:
Flash Gordon (Deadline at Noon, Conquers the Universe),
The Phantom Planet,
Buck Rogers in the 25th Century,
Invasion of the Animal People,
Man Beast,
Lunar Walker,
Golden Bat (Ogon Batto),
The Mysterians,
Captain Midnight,
First Spaceship on Venus,
The Flying Saucer,
The Fighting Devil Dogs,
The Outer Limits (Second Chance, Soldier, I Robot, The Sixth Finger),
Spaceballs: The Animated Series, also known as Spaceballs: The Series, is an animated television series that is loosely based on the Well loved parody sci-fi film Spaceballs. Similarly to how the original film parodied the original Star Wars films, and the Star Trek Universe, each episode of the series parodies a different film or other aspect of popular culture, such as the Star Wars Prequel Trilogy and The Lord of the Rings.
You can get the Spaceballs 1 DVD On Amazon, or on Ebay.

I love it when people spend time and effort to create theior own stuff. Was visiting a friends office and spotted this Paper Mache Yoda. Awesome hand made Yoda for a Pod decoration. More pics coming soon. Will try and get the creator to pose with pics if possible.
Sorry about the quality – only had [...]
Every once in awhile I’ll find something really random or weird on Amazon.com (can you say Mongolian Goat Hide Pillow?). But I think that a personal land cruiser/tank named after a giant ‘ass’ takes the cake.
The JL421 Badonkadonk Land Cruiser is a custom made tank modeled after Jabba’s Sail Barge from Star Wars. The exterior [...]
