Star Wars Episodes 1-3 Silhouette Posters Olly Moss style

Just saw these now but I think they were done shortly after the first Moss ones appeared.  This guy Zenithuk did 3 posters in the style of Olly Moss' original trilogy ones.  Olly could have beaten him to it from the get go by doing the whole saga, but original trilogy takes priority (and interest) over the prequels of course.   Alas, it's still timely for the whole Star Wars blu-ray release.

Darth Vader "Nooo!" in Classic Movies: Nothing is Safe from George Lucas

After the inevitable uproar over forthcoming Star Wars blu-ray edits to the classic movies, it was probably only a matter of time before this appeared.  We even discussed briefly a similar idea (YouTube Gold idea #457).  I am of course talking about the dubbing of the Darth Vader "Nooo!" exclamation over the end of Return of the Jedi.  The fact that the sound clip is being re-used in the new blu-ray edit means surely it could be used elsewhere!  Even classic movies are not safe from George Lucas.

McFly 2015 Project must be crying right now - Nike Back to the Future shoes are real

mcfly2015.com - Did they make it happen?

I bet the guys from the McFly2015.com campaign from back in 2007-2008 are crying right now. Tears of joy of course.  Why?  Because The Shoes are real.  There was a campaign/petition back a few years ago started by the Maloof brothers (out of Montreal??).  Don't know where that went, nor what happened to them, but today Nike came through in realizing their dream.  Flurry of activity on the net after a mysterious video showing an animation of a room of shelves of the shoes appeared on YouTube.

And all the sneaker freaks out there? A tear and some drool too no doubt.  The ultimate retro/sought after/dreamt about shoe item of all time probably?

Nike MAG shoe - aka the McFly 2015 from Back to the Future II. What a time to be alive.

NiceKicks.com has been on top of it all day and has some good pics and previews of Mr. Michael J. Fox unveiling the shoe on Letterman later tonight. http://www.nicekicks.com/2011/09/nike-air-mag-officially-unveiled/  An auction and tons of proceeds to his Parkinson's foundation reported.  That's great.  What's next? Mattel and the hoverboard most would say.  It's not even 2015 yet.

These things will be McFlying off the shelves!
