Album Cover Parodies

What if comic book characters were used as famous album covers? Well, they would probably look something like this..

X-Force Queen

Cyclops Bowie

German artist Uwe de Witt over at Deviant Art, created these pretty fabulous parodies.  He also has a great blog, Spacelord, you can check out as well.  I especially love Dr. Strange Pink Floyd

Ghost Rider Prince

Warlock Judas Priest

X-TREME MACHINES: Sentinel Mod5 MarkC PI

I have posted this because I know how much my partner, Ryan will love it.  I didn't grow up watching X-Men, I grew up watching He-man and She-ra, LOL.  In either case, Ryan is having me watch the X-men animated series, and he's talked about these robotic creatures before - the Sentinels!  Click the image to check out all the cool stuff.

X-men Were Born That Way

Yes, according The Warp Zone, the X-Men were born that way.  

There's a new music video parody out, and this time around it's the X-Men dancing and singing to a rendition of Lady Gaga's, "Born This Way."  

The video starts off with the lyrics appearing at the bottom of the screen, "It doesn't matter if you love men, or the X-MEN" and then goes on to say, "Just put you're claws up.. cause baby... you were born that way..."  Absolutely hilarious.  "I'm a mutant not gay, I think God made a mistake, but I'm an X-Man baby, I was born this way"

The X-Muppets

OMG, I absolutely love this pic from artist, Rahzzah at Deviant Art.  The X-Muppets!

It was 2 weeks before my high school graduation, when I learned of  Jim Henson's untimely death - it was a sad time indeed.  Thank you Jim, because we'll always love our Muppets.

Must Watch - Beast, Havoc and Banshee - Each Got Their Own Trailer!

Totally awesome, totally cool. The boys from X-men: First Class - each got their own trailer!  I'm really excited to see this movie now!  This is definitely going to better than all the X-men films and cartoons combined!  Check them out below:

Nicholas Hoult as Beast, Landry Jones as Banshee, and Lucas Till as Havok.  Oh, I cannot wait!

Movies to Watch: X-men: First Class (First Full-Length Trailer)

Yesterday, the first full-length trailer to X-men: First Class was released, and I'd have to say it is so much better than the teaser they gave us in February.  I have never been so excited about a summer, as Ryan and I will be this year.  I'll be honest, I don't know much about the characters, because I was into He-man, She-ra, Wonder Woman, The Incredible Hulk, Superman, The Transformers, and countless others when I was growing up.  But after watching all the X-men movies, and now this one, I'm eager to learn more about their lives and their struggle to become X-men. 

Oh and as a special treat, there is a UK version after the jump - make sure to check that out too!

X-men: First Class Does The 1960's

Check these out...

Fox Studios, working together with Total Film Magazine created these vintage magazines as part of their X-men: First Class marketing campaign, and a pretty awesome creation it is.

 

Since the new movie is about the start of X-men (a prequel of sorts), the magazines reflect publications made back in the 60's; One can pretty much tell by the lettering who they are paying homage to.  Starting with the first magazine, Vogue, the second one, Esquire, and the third, Life.  The fourth one doesn't reflect a vintage collection, but posted it anyway.

X-men Goes Where It Hasn't Gone Before...

Oh no, what are are X-men fanatics going to do? X-men has gone Anime!! Yes, you read that right, the Japanese have transformed the X-men characters into Anime and there are NO ROBOTS!!!

In the trailer below, you can see anime-fied versions of Beast, Storm, Wolverine, Cyclops, and Professor X. The show debuts on Animax in Japan on April 1 and will air on G4 later this year.

Movies to Watch: X-men: First Class (First Official Trailer)

In one of the most anticipated movies of the summer, the first official trailer to X-men: First Class has been released.  And no one is more excited than my partner, Ryan.

While I'll wait to reserve judgement, the trailer does it's job of teasing the viewer. These are the characters, before they became legend...

Summer Blockbuster Coming Soon!

 

So here it comes... A new trilogy on the horizon...

January Jones (Mad Men) as Emma Frost / WhiteQueen

Nicholas Hoult (Skins) as Hank McCoy / Beast

James McAvoy (Wanted) as Professor Charles Xavier: Leader and Founder of the X-men

Michael Fassbender (Inglourious Basterds) as Erik Lehnsherr / Magneto: Leader and Founder of the Brotherhood of Mutants

Jennifer Lawrence (The Bill Engvall Show) as Raven Darkholme/Mystique

Lucas Till (Hannah Montana) Alex Summers / Havok: Cyclops' brother

Jason Flemyng (Clash of the Titans) as Azazel: Nightcrawler's father

Synopsis from IMDB: Before Charles Xavier and Erik Lensherr took the names Professor X and Magneto, they were two young men discovering their powers for the first time. Before they were archenemies, they were closest of friends, working together, with other Mutants (some familiar, some new), to stop the greatest threat the world has ever known. In the process, a rift between them opened, which began the eternal war between Magneto’s Brotherhood and Professor X’s X-MEN

X-men Family Tree

I'll be honest, I don't know much about the X-men story, but my partner, Ryan does.  So I posted this for him, because I thought he might like it.  If you're confused, Google or read the comics.  That's what I'll need to do or I could just ask "my love." :-)
