Check out these super cool prints from artist Scott Campbell’s series of “Great Showdowns” featuring retro videogame characters:

Awesome!

It’s safe to say that most Americans are familiar with artist Shepard Fairey’s iconic Barack Obama “Hope” poster:

Over at Obamicon.Me, you can create your own riffs on the famous piece by uploading photos and entering your own caption.

Here are two of my favorites:

Here we have a hilarious and ingenious teaser trailer for the Filipino superhero action comedy film Wapakman, directed by Topel Lee and starring boxing champ (and part-time actor) Manny Pacquiao, lead Pussycat Doll Nicole Scherzinger, and WWE pro wrestler Batista:

Looking forward to this one.

Considered by many the top pound-for-pound boxer in the world, Manny Pacquiao stars as a father gifted with amazing superpowers. 

Judging by the trailer, Manny’s superhero alter ego is either incredibly fast or able to turn invisible and, rather appropriately, packs a mean punch.  We’ll just have to wait and see what other cool powers he may possess (the teaser ends with the tagline “Flying Soon”).

Similar in tone to 2004’s Kung Fu Hustle,  Wapakman is scheduled to begin filming this month.

Wolf Daddy is an award-winning South Korean “anime” directed by Chang Hyung-yun.  Heart-warming and funny, this cute, 10-minute animated short tells the story of a wolf novelist whose life is turned upside down by the unexpected arrival of a six-year-old girl named Young Hee.

The film won the 2005 Korean Animation Award, the Tokyo International Anime Fair Award, as well as the 11th Annual Hiroshima Animation Festival Award.

Here it is, in the original Korean with English subtitles:

“Fridge Deer” – love it!

Thought these were pretty funny… 

The crew from Dust Films put together the following two 80s music video clips, featuring new lyrics that are a bit more relevant to the action:

A-ha, “Take On Me” 

 Tears For Fears, “Head Over Heels”
