LXB | The League's Ultimate Crossovers

Brian's posted the rest of the League of Extraordinary Blogger's responses about their ultimate movie crossovers and there are several that I'd pay big bucks to see on the big screen. The image above was created by Sideshow Cinema for an imaginary crossover that I cannot believe Dark Horse hasn't yet done. Other ones I want to be real are:

• Memories of Toymorrow's goofy, fun mash-up of famous movie and TV bachelors competing for the affection of the cat from the Pepe LePew cartoons. I just can't decide if it's the ultimate romantic comedy or the ultimate horror film.
• Branded in the 80s created a sequel to '80s movies that pitted kids against a sinister government: Wargames, Cloak and Dagger, and The Manhattan Project. In his version, the kids are grown and pulled into another plot in which they have to prevent World War III. (In his comments section, a reader talks about his idea for a Dukes of Hazzard/Knight Rider crossover that would also be awesome.)
• Tupa's Treasures has three cool ideas, but my favorite is combining the casts of the two Raiders of the Lost Ark TV knock offs: Tales of the Gold Monkey and Bring 'Em Back Alive.
• Speaking of Raiders, AEIOU and Sometimes Why would love to see Indiana Jones meet the Doctor. And so would I.
• The Man Who Stares at Toys sold me on his idea for Wookiees and Klingons teaming up to fight Xenomorphs.
• Dave Lowe wins at life by coming up with Indiana Jones' exploring King Kong's Skull Island.

There are a lot of cool ideas out there though, so check out Cool and Collected for the whole list, including Tombstone meets Deadwood, and Batman vs Ace Ventura.

The Awesome List: Monster Game Night

Friends with E.T.



San Francisco's Gallery Nineteen Eighty Eight is selling art prints of Scott Campbell's wonderful "Friends with E.T." series (thanks, /Film!). Click through to see E.T. also hanging out with Transformers, them Duke boys, and the Masters of the Universe.

It's especially nice to see him playing Hungry Hungry Hippo with the monsters though. Game Night with those guys is always a blast.



Poor Frankenstein.

Galactus' Happy Helmet



That sounded dirty, didn't it? Sorry about that.

The point is that I never realized that there was a face on Galactus' helmet until Kerry Callen pointed it out. What's more, he tracks it as it gets more and more giddy over Marvel's publishing history. I deliberately posted the earliest version. You've got to click through and look at the last image. I promise it's worth it.
