Y’know, it’s a pretty sad state of affairs when the future predicted in Back to the Future Part II was more creative than the real future we live in nowadays.  Ugh.

My thanks to Dug from THE UNIQUE GEEK for directing me to this comic on COMIXED.com.

If you enjoyed the movies even a little bit, you must watch this trailer.  It’s fantastic!  I’m not a video game guy, but even I’m seriously considering playing this one.

If you can’t view the embedded trailer above, please click here.  My thanks to Ed for directing me to this trailer.

TeeFury offers one new limited-edition geeky tee every 24 hours for $9.  You can’t buy these particular shirts anymore, but they are still worth a chuckle.  Click each photo for more information on the shirt, including an interview with the artist!

TeeFury doesn’t just produce Star Wars related shirts.  They produce shirts to interest just about every geek around.  Check out TeeFury every day for new shirts!

TeeFury is a place where you will find amazing tees at amazing prices (and occasionally other non-tee things). It’s pretty simple – one new super limited-edition tee every 24 hours for $9.

Each tee goes up for sale everyday at midnight eastern time. Once it sells out, or after 24 hours, whichever comes first, that tee is gone. And when we say, “gone”, we mean G-O-N-E – never to be sold again at TeeFury.

Check out this super-cool TRON: Legacy music video!  The track is by a band named Daft Punk and the song is named “Derezzed”. Some hip tunes with some great clips from the movie!  I can’t wait for this film!  My thanks to Ed for pointing me in the direction of this video.

By the way, Back to the Future 25th Anniversary Trilogy on Blu-ray is out in stores today.  Buy it!

A breathtaking Wonder Girl.  This young lady is actually the niece of legendary artist George Perez!

A really intricate group of Steampunk Wizard of Oz characters.

A fantastic Zod, Ursa, and Non from Superman II! Great costumes for Halloween and not too elaborate.  Kneel before Zod!  … I did!

Check out this astonishing look-a-like David Tennant Doctor Who!  He’s here with Rose Tyler and the Master. Don’t miss the TARDIS purse on the ground!  These would also make great Halloween costumes that are not too elaborate.

A fun, sexy dark fairy costume!  You could choose lots of variations to create a similar costume for Halloween.

A spot-on Joker from Alan Moore’s The Killing Joke! A fairly straightforward costume that is immediately recognizable!

A very impressive Carrie!  A straightforward costume that would really freak out your friends.

DragonCon is Orko approved!

A very flexible Plastic Man!  This guy actually moved like he was made of rubber!

A sexy variation on Aquaman.  Try Googling ‘Rule 63′.  Ladies, you could apply that rule to any superhero and successfully make it work for Halloween.  Seriously, this is the most viewed picture in my DragonCon 2010 Flickr gallery.  ‘Rule 63′ gets attention.

A very clever ‘Blue Screen of Death’ costume that you could replicate at home for Halloween!

B’wana Beast?!?!  This guy gets points for cosplaying such an obscure character!

Probably the best Creeper costume I’ve ever seen!  Another ‘Rule 63′ costume!

Gleek carrying the Wonder Twins from Super Friends!  Brilliant!

Probably the only Fraggle Rock cosplayers I’ve ever seen.  Let’s hear it for the Doozers!

A sexy Namorita!

Okay this is pretty elaborate, but how cool is this Larfleeze trying to steal Green Lantern’s ring!?!?

Even more elaborate, but amazing!  Kilowog from Green Lantern!

A very clever ensemble – Gilligan’s Island Zombies!  You could apply the Zombie-factor to just about any pop culture character and make it work.

Tron Legacy character.  The super-reflective tape does amazing things in response to camera flashes.

Anyone besides me remember Courage the Cowardly Dog!

Got tape and a pair of underwear?  Then you’ve got a costume apparently!

A DC Comics and Marvel Comics Amalgam character – Doctor StrangeFate!  Pretty obscure, but I thought it was really cool!

A really impressive Martian Manhunter!

The Alpha-Beta Fraternity from Revenge of the Nerds!  Easy and effective costume!

I thought this Wonder Girl was really great!  It’s a fairly obscure version – the Cassie Sandsmark Ame-Comi Wonder Girl.

A truly impressive Red Tornado!

I was really impressed with this Songbird from the Thunderbolts.  I don’t believe I’ve ever seen a Songbird cosplayer before.  Here she’s with Captain Marvel and Wolverine.

Firestorm the Nuclear Man!  A difficult costume to pull off!

Supergirl!

Plan 9 from Outer Space!  Get some friends together and you could pull this off for Halloween!

Dozens and dozens of DC Comics characters for you to get ideas from.  And yes, that really is George Perez in the center.

A fun moment from that same photo shoot – A live-action recreation of the Crisis on Infinite Earths #7 cover including George Perez himself!

Red Lanterns! Orange Lanterns! Sinestro Corps! Green Lanterns!  Blue Lanterns! Indigo Tribe! Star Sapphires! Black Lanterns!

Numerous Teen Titans costumes to choose from!  And there’s George again!

Finally, the Iron Man dancers from Iron Man 2 along with Tony Stark, Pepper Potts, Justin Hammer, Black Widow, and Nick Fury.  Great costume ideas.  It would definitely take some work and coordination, but it would be worth it!

Trick or treat!

• Megatron’s Momma so fat that when she transforms, she turns into a DUMP TRUCK!
• Darth Vader’s Momma so fat, they call her butt THE DARK SIDE!

These remind me of the Robot Chicken: Star Wars episode:

Luke Skywalker: Your overconfidence is your weakness.

Palpatine: Your faith in your friends is yours.

Luke Skywalker: Not my faith in yo momma…

Palpatine: What was that?

Luke Skywalker: I said yo momma’s so fat, Jabba the Hutt said DAAAAAMN!

Palpatine: Well, your mother is so ugly she put the ‘ug’ in ‘ugnaught!’

Darth Vader: Ohh, yo momma fight!

[Cut to next scene. Luke and Palpatine are on stage in front of a crowd]

Luke Skywalker: Yo momma’s so stupid, she spent all day saying ‘am not’ to R2!

Palpatine: Your mother is so fat, that Ben Kenobi said ‘That’s no moon, that’s yo momma!’

Luke Skywalker: Yo momma’s so stupid, she thought Jar Jar came with pickles pickles!

Palpatine: Your mother is so stupid she, she thinks, uh, that lightsabres come with fewer calories!

[Music cuts. Crowd falls silent]

Palpatine: You know, cause it’s ‘lite,’ and it’s got less calories… and it’s good for your body, ummm… anyway that’s how stupid your mother is…

Luke Skywalker: Yo momma’s so stupid she went to Bangkok to get a TIE fighter!

Crowd: Luke wins!

[Darth Vader throws Palpatine into the reactor core]
