Sometimes Cosplay Goes Wrong
At least the Harvey Birdman cosplay is the bee’s knees. This is the first Birdman/Harvey Birdman mash-up I’ve seen, and Only Leigh nails it. But that’s to be expected of the Internet’s best geeky cartoon lady.

Someone made a Dragon Ball Z fan film, and you must watch it.
Close on the heels of the recent gritty Power Rangers fan film comes Dragon Ball Z: Light of Hope. This fan film was created by “Robot Underdog,” and it’s everything that fans didn’t get from Hollywood’s adaptation of the series a few years ago.
As best as I can abbreviate the series for those of you who are unfamiliar with it, Dragon Ball Z is about a group of martial arts experts who have unlocked the vast powers within themselves to battle seemingly unstoppable foes.
The above fan film takes place in an alternate timeline, where a pair of powerful androids have all but wiped out the human race. The younger character, Trunks, will eventually travel back in time to aid the series’s main characters in the present day.
6 MORE Licensed Properties That Need LEGO Love
I may never get over the fact that The LEGO Movie was snubbed at the Oscars this past weekend. I’m thinking of taking it personally. Maybe organize some kind of grassroots petition? Whatever I end up doing (probably nothing), I will always remain a lifelong LEGO fan. And to honor the best movie of 2014 — since the Academy wouldn’t — I’ve decided to do a sequel List of Six to one from a few years ago.
What new franchises need to be made into LEGO?
Consider this at the top of every birthday or Christmas list I’ll ever have going forward
Walk down the LEGO aisle at the toy store these days and you’ll see Avengers, Ninja Turtles, Jurassic World, Harry Potter and more. We didn’t have branded LEGOs when I was a kid, but I would have given anything to have a real, fully licensed Ninja Turtles van and Turtle mini-figs. I have a LEGO Batmobile on my bookshelf right now, and I bought that well into my 20s. And someday the LEGO Ecto-1 will join it.
But if I could choose any LEGO franchise in the world, what would I want? After these first six options, of course.
And please note, most LEGO pictures on this list are fan creations I found online. Those that are built by fans are linked to the fan’s webpages. So let’s give it up to the fans!
The Honesty of The LEGO Movie is Hard to Admit
Fortunately, the good people at Screen Junkies are willing to look beyond the sheer awesomeness of The LEGO Movie and reveal what it’s really about.
Sigh, that was funny. That was a damn good video. But I won’t stop loving The LEGO Movie, I won’t! I want kids to get into LEGOs. By all means, buy your children LEGOs! Let them all in love with a quality movie like this and then buy them all the LEGOs they could ever dream of getting! The world will be a better place for it.

Pokemon Awesomeness!
I mostly congratulate the Internet for its silly stuff, but today we celebrate artists! So many people can come together and collaborate on something as cool as this redone opening theme. Plus the Pokemon opening theme is legendary, now even moreso! You can get more information on this nifty project on their Tumblr.
