Star Wars: A New Hope is currently being remade 15-seconds at a time with Star Wars: Uncut. To make the remake, the original movie was cut into 15-second segments, and then anyone could log on to the Star Wars: Uncut website and claim any segment. The segments will then be shot by the person that claims them, and then at the end, they’ll all be stitched back together into a full movie.
The result is almost guaranteed to be somewhere between a Sweded masterpiece and a fanboy nightmare, so I’ll definitely be keeping an eye out for updates and posting anything that I hear.
I’ve shown you plenty of papercraft before, but with Paper Critters, you can create and share your own digital paper toys thanks to their easy to use Toy Creator.
Just choose your tool, pick a color, and create your masterpiece.
You can even upload your own image if you want to give it a personal touch, and then print your final creation and bring it to life.
Don Stellhorn’s 1964 Pontiac GTO could be called Beauty and the Beast. Though outside it’s all flashy paint with a show quality shine, inside it’s all business, and this car is made to go.
After buying the car for $1,100, Don and his dad set out to restore and build a car that Don could learn to drive in, but as Don’s interest in racing grew, he soon began to push the limits.
Unfortunately, the limits pushed back, and Don wrecked the car at nearly 80 mph after loosing the breaks going into a turn at Summit Point Motorsports Park in West Virginia.
Faced with the decision to scrap the car and call it a day or rebuild from the ground up, Don decided to build the car the way he had always dreamed, and ended up with the masterpiece you see before you.
Featuring three-piece one-off wheels from Complete Custom Wheel (the suspension what literally build around the wheel choice, instead of the other way around), a beefed up braking system to prevent repeat mishaps, a fully customized suspension system (Don took a job at SLP just so he could play with their metal working toys), a hand built body that Don himself created (everything but the roof and the quarter-panels is new), a full roll cage, 430 hp and 460 lb-ft of torque from the 455 cubic inch, and a custom Muncie M-22 transmission, this goat is made to race.
And race it he does, as Don himself says, “Some people are surprised that I race it because the car is so nice and would be hard to fix if it were wrecked. I may have a few moments in the pits or on the line where I worry about the car, but once I’m out on the track, my mind is on the race. If you took my pulse right now, it would probably be higher than when I’m racing.”
Well there’s no surprise here Don, because if I had a car like that, I don’t think you could drag me off of the track either.
If you liked the movie City of God, then get ready, because the unofficial “sequel” is coming.
Called City of Men (Cidade dos Homens), it’s about two friends who grew up together in Rio de Janeiro. As they face the first difficulties of adulthood, they must deal with fatherhood, marriage, a missing father, a gang war, and the drug trafficking that is all around them. In a run for their lives, they will discover “a truth so terrible it threatens to break up their friendship”.
Like the first one, this one has the potential to become a cinematic masterpiece, so be on the lookout for a limited release in early 2008.
Lewis Lavoie’s Mural Mosaics are amazing pieces of art that are created by combining separate paintings into one masterpiece mural.
(These remind me of the album art advertisements.)
To see how he does it, watch the following video, where he is creating Adam, seen above.
