Today in Star Wars: A Harem of Leia Cheerleaders. Iron R2D2. The Giant R2D2 of Minnesota’s Carleton College.

Posted by mistergroonk in Art, Intertube Madness on June 8, 2010

When we began Today in Star Wars it was meant to be a lark. Simple images found around Internet that would be funny or thought provoking or horrifying. Just something to break the day of horrible worldly news. Was it naive of us to not expect so many damn Star Wars images that fit or goals?

It was, wasn’t it?

Anyway. Off we go. Today is a hat trick of geekery.

Iron Week: Keeping it Simple with Tony Stark

Posted by mistergroonk in Art, Comics, Movies, One Sheets on May 7, 2010

This is sort of putting the cart before the horse, posting-wise. There’s a collection of vintage art posts just waiting to be shared but this last-minute Iron Week idea usurped the status quo. Consider this overshare a GNET Confidential moment.

Now, have a look at two different vintage minimal renditions of Iron Man as movie posters. Both dropped below the jump to create an illusion of reveal:

Iron Week: DJ Mike Relm’s IRON MAN 2 Remix, Favreau Approved!

Posted by mistergroonk in Marketing, Movies, Music on May 7, 2010

All last week we were blasted with this IRON MAN 2 trailer on the Tee Vee. In between commercials for Attack of the Show to be precise. We searched high and low but couldn’t find the creator. That is until we casually strolled through the Whitechapel forum of two months ago. It’s said director @Jon_Favreau approves of DJ Mike Relm‘s trailer remix.

A click here. A Google there and this wild statement is revealed to be true.

From fan love to corporate acknowledgement. How’s that for the power of Tweets?

As usual, the trailer’s below the line.

Posted by mistergroonk in Art, Photography on May 6, 2010

There is a reason we did not include a full body shot of this Antony Gormley sculpture found on Crosby beach, UK. And that reason is Iron Wang.

IRON WEEK: Iron Man + AC/DC vs Hugh Grant, with Dirty Dancing on the Side

Posted by mistergroonk in Intertube Madness, LOL, Movies, Music, Versus on May 3, 2010

Q: What’s better than Iron Man flying around, saving the world?

A: Iron Man punching the crap out of Hugh Grant’s face!

You Tuber Reubenpac created a 3D Iron Man rig in Maya. Then he dropped his creation into random movies with an AC/DC backdrop. The Iron Man 3D model is great and wonderful. But after repeated watching of his clips in order to build this post we finally realized: it’s the AC/DC that sells the funny in these bits HARD.

Below the jump lay 3 of our favorite clips.

The Bendable, Collapsable HULC

Posted by mistergroonk in Robots, Technology, The Future on April 9, 2009

Exosuits are not a new idea in our world vision.

The HULC allows a soldier to walk, run, kneel and crawl, among other things. It can impede other movements however, but if a soldier comes under fire and needs more flexibility, the HULC can be removed in about 30 seconds.

We watched the demo video. The HULC looks flexible enough to accommodate a laypersons idea of a soldiers needs. If it performs under pressure is anybody’s guess. What impressed *us* the most was the attachable waldo. The thing has a third arm that can be used to carry ordinance or a SWAT shield.

You make that waldo fully robotic and thought controlled and we’ll hand you the check by Friday.
