The Sarlacc’s Great Pit of Carkoon looks like it was recreated using an educational female anatomy model, but other than that this recreated scene from the Return of the Jedi looks just about right. I’d love to see the entire movie series recreated this way. That would just make my year. Link

Take an iconic movie monster, add some neon color and Warholian-flair, and boom… instant pop art. These Marylinized Monsters by Jesse Lenz incorporate the iconic Warhol portrait of Marylin Monroe, or at least Marylin’s hair, into famous portraits of famous movie monsters. Link [via]

Now, if this were a REAL lightsaber, not only would it be a great desk lamp, but it could also make an excellent paper shredder / boss disposal tool. As you know, lightsabers make everything cooler.

I never made it to this level, which I think might be a good thing. I never would have been able to conquer the cameltoe mothership. Grab your own cameltoe-inducing (or camel-knuckle if you’re a dude and planning on wearing these for yourself) Space Invader Tights for the very hipster price of $80. Or you can try to make your ...

While you might not be able to teach old dogs new tricks, you can assure that your dog doesn’t get old in the first place. Spotted in a space salon in Yoyogi Uehara, these two pooches are getting a healthy dose of oxygen to enhance their youthful glow and reduce the progress of wrinkles, because lets be honest, they just ...

There’s something about the packaging of Atari-era games that really strikes my design fancy. The minimalistic bit style was both honest and gorgeous. I actually don’t think I’d mind if modern movie posters were designed in the same style. Some modern posters could certainly use the revision. Or at least a few zombies added here or there. Hit the jump ...

I missed out on the original NES and SNES systems during their heyday, but at least I got to fool around with the Sega Genesis when new games were still being released on a regular basis. And boy did I play the hell out of my system. NHL ’94 and Sonic, baby. Hours of fun. Increasingly, more kids from Gen-Y ...

Man, if I had a nickel for every time I’ve heard THAT, I might have around 10 cents or so. But seriously, you know it’s bad when your housemates have to wear noise-canceling headphones when you go to the bathroom. Not that there’s much you can do about it. You just happened to be born with a powerful stream. But ...

The hottest thing since Stuffed Animals with Vaginas. Above, Stormtrooper striptease Courtney Cruz in a Star Wars-themed burlesque show at the Los Angeles club Bordello (a sexy bar which opened at the site of a notorious, historic LA whorehouse). Hit the jump for several more geekalicious photos.

The loss of a loved one is never easy, but there’s something particularly difficult about losing family around the holidays. Fellow geek Declan became the victim of one of the worst losses a GEARhead can suffer — the loss of a gaming console, as is intelligently described by the man himself via Facebook. “Ma xbox is fukd.” And only days ...
