The Doctor Is Back... And I Have The Posters From The BBC To Prove It!!!!!

With the upcoming series 7 premiere of Doctor Who about to hit the airwaves this weekend (Sept 1st), BBC has released posters for the 5 episodes that will air in the first part of this season. That will take us to a break and another trusty Christmas Special, with the second half of the season coming back in 2013. The posters offer some clues as to what to expect from the upcoming adventures of the Doctor as well as Rory & the salacious Amy Pond, who I absolutely want to shag the police girl uniform off of (My fellow Whovians now just what outfit I am talking about!!!!). These episodes also mark the departure of Amy & rory... and boy am I sad to see Sexy Red go. If you are a bit behind, you can catch up on all 6 seasosn of Doctor Who on Netflix Instant. Check out the posters after the jump and tune in for all the season premiere Saturday night...






Goose Mckenzie... You Stay Away!!!

I love me some College Humor, especially when they are taking on The Dark Knight. This is their version of how the 1st encounter between Scarecrow & Batman really went in Batman Begins. Honestly, I can undertsand being afraid of Girl Scouts (he is a billionaire, who needs accusations of improper touching)... but Rhumba's and Shooter McGavin? Yup, those are odd fears. The Scarecrow is fanatstic as well. Check out the video after the jump...



Cloverfield Rebooted by Electric Sheep Comix

I came across this comic strip of a Cloverfield Reboot over at Electric Sheep Comix and was blown away by the direction that they decided to take this reboot in. A monster full of cake? That can't turn out BAD, can it? This definitely ain't the kind of monster I saw ripping apart the Brooklyn Bridge... lol! Check out the full comic strip after the jump...






This Back To The Future Mod Makes me Want To Play Grand Theft Auto For The First Time In Years...

I haven't really played many games outside of the realm of super hero games like Ultimate Avengers & Batman or sports games in the past 5 years. But I do remember the good old days of Grand Theft Auto and just how crazy it could be. When you add in Marty McFly, the Delorean, and the ability to travel throughout time into the equation and you are in for one sweet treat. Check out the video that TL sent me after the jump and lets hope we finally get a Back To The Future game that we can get behind....

CCD Links It Up - Vol #3


Click after the jump to read some really cool stories from around the Internet. CCD gets name dropped by one of my favorite artsits during an interview, Terry Richardson is back to his old pervert ways, 




1) Sean Hartter, my good friend and artist extraordinaire, has done a pretty cool interview with the blog 13 Shots of Grit where he discusses all sorts of fun things like what inspires him and his art projects, what Tv shows & movies he digs, and even drops us here at CCD a humble shout out. We have gone worldwide baby (the blog is European...lol). Head over there and leave some supportive comments for my boy... 

2) Terry Richardson is a scumbag sleezeball celebrity photographer, but he is our favorite scumbag sleezeball celebrity photographer... he is back with another photospread of candid shots, this time taking on Lady Gaga. Thanks to The Superficial for keeping up on the lowlifes of Hollywood...

3) And speaking of Terry Richardson.... Never forget... Never forget!!!! Thank me later guys... 

4) With the NFL & College football season ready to kick off and Baseball season winding down, you need to get over to Cool Fan Jerseys to  meet all your authentic sport jersey needs for relatively cheap prices. I have bought from the site, trust me you won't be disappointed!!!

5) In other get fresh clothing news, Nike & Jordan Brand are offering some awesome new customizable models of sneakers on the Nike ID website. You can make your own one of a kind pair of sneakers, including popular models like the Spiz'ike's, Jordan 1's, High Top Dunks, and Air Max 90s. Unreal... make yourself a cool ass pair with a cool theme, like my classic 1997 Air Max that I made a few years back in honor of my favorite TV show, Lost...


Check out Hurley's Numbers on the tongue.... Yup, I'm a pimp!!!



Fuck Beats by Dre... I'm Going With Boobs by Upton For My Headphone Needs!!!!

So it looks like everyone's favorite bikini wearing, ginormous boob having, hip hop dancing bombshell Kate Upton is back... and this time she is helping to hawk a new line of headphones from Skull Candy. I gues Skull Candy was tired of taking a backseat to Beats by Dre in the overpriced headphone market and decided to bust out the big guns -two of them specifically (see what I did just there...)- to take down the competition. I for one am up for a purchase if I get to peruse Kate in a bikini while I'm shopping in their online store. Damn, I can't take her. Click here to order your own headphones and here to see Upton's photos for the campaign...












Iron Man's Drunk Again...

I love the videos that the guys over at Dorkly post, mostly because they take cool nerd tidbits and turn them into classic originals. Take this riff on Marvel vs. Capcom that has Spidey calling on Iron Man for a teammate assist, only for Tony to show up all 'Demon In A Bottle-d' up and unable to help at all. Love the Jill Valentine cameo as well... Check out the video after the jump.


League of Extraordinary Gentlepersons 1996 by The Mighty God Kings

Alan Moore's League of Extraordinary Gentleman is an interesting oxymoron. The stories themselves are based on literary characters of the past that have hit public domain (people like Alan Quartermain, Captain Nemo, Mr. Hyde, etc) and have been re-purposed by Moore into new modern adventures. What makes this an oxymoron is that Moore is constantly bashing DC Comics (the company that owns the rights to most of his earlier works like Watchmen & V for Vendetta) for using his characters in ways that he would never use them. I wonder if H. Rider Haggard, H.G. Wells, and Robert Lewis Stevenson would approve of Moore's version of their classic characters. But I digress... The guys over at Mighty God King have decided to show us what a future inclination of the League might look like if the team was formed in 1996. The story would revolve around Edward Scissorhands, Nancy from The Craft, Tequila Yeun, Dana Scully, Zack Morris, and Rufus from Bill & Ted's excellent Adventure. I also love the potraits of past team members from the 80s/90s. Sledge Hammer? Max Hedrom? Yup, I would read the shit out of this book and not give two fucks what the original creators of these characters think about it. Great piece of art. Check out the guys wonderful website here and click after the jump for a full size version of the piece...



Here is the great synopsis the guys came up:

Abuse of Playback, the technologically-derived drug made from distilled human memories, is sweeping the world – and Special Agent Fox Mulder learned too late that Playback was put forth on this planet by the Purity, seeking to condition humanity to their rule so as to better combat the Deadite incursion threatening the aliens’ homeworld. Now Mulder is missing, and it falls to his partner, Dana Scully, to re-activate secret protocol LXG-71, the “League of Extraordinary Gentlepersons” (protocol renamed 1993 for “sensitivity reasons”).

Scully swiftly collects Hong Kong Detective-Inspector “Tequila” Yuen, hyperviolent Wiccan practitioner Nancy Downs, the biological experiment/walking weapon known only as “Edward,” and a young high-functioning sociopath named Zack Morris who has the strange ability to stop the flow of time itself. Perhaps it is this last who attracts the attention of an enigmatic man who answers only to “Rufus,” and who asks Scully to “set history right” and see that two young musicians – that, so far as she can tell, never existed – be born anew, so that peace may flourish on Earth. But the Purity have never shown any signs of temporal travel capability… so who, then, altered history?

Courageous Cat by Tommy Lombardozzi

Guess who's bizzack.... back on CCD with some smoking new artwork. My main man Tommy Lombardozzi hit me with a blast from the past yestterday when he sent me an awesome piece featuring a character tha I loved when I was a kid, Courageous Cat. Tommy took the time to create his CC piece in the vein of the classic cover to Frank Miller's The Dark Knight Returns. You can see some comparison photos after the jump as well as a video for all you youngsters who might not know exactly who Courageous Cat is/was. Tommy has a ton of art for sale over at his site, so click here and buy some shit. Keep these great pieces coming TL!!!! Pics & video after the jump....

Now This Is How You Cosplay....

If you are interested in getting into the cosplay game, meet Abbie Soule and take some notes. This young lady absolutely slayed a Ramona Flowers getup that had me swearing that I was looking at Mary Elizabeth Winstead in the flesh. The costume is perfect, the hair and accessories are spectacular, and the angelic face is a thing of beauty. You want more proof as to the fact that this is one of the greatest cosplay efforts ever? How about the fact that Bryan Lee O'Malley, creator of the Scott Pilgrim comic book series, reblogged her photoset!!!! Now that is the ultimate compliment. Check out her blog here and other cosplay efforts of hers here, and take a look at her Ramona Flowers get up after the jump. I would fight a League of Evil Ex's for this girl any day...








Pixar Presents The Expendables 2

This one goes out to my main man Jeff who has been eagerly awaiting the release of The Expendables 2. the only way I could dream of possibly improving on the action tentpole smash would be by incorporating Woody and the rest of the toys from the toybox into megawatt action segments. Great mashup video From the guys over at IGN. Check out the video after the jump...



 

Nolan's Batman Trilogy Gets Posterized by Florey

Artist Florey has created a set of spectacular posters in honor of Christopher Nolan's Batman trilogy and I really like them... a lot!!! I love the softness of the images and the muted color palette that Florey employs with each one of these posters. My favorite of the bunch is Batman Begins, because it prominently features The Scarecrow (the best character in all three movies as far as I am concerned). Check out all three of the posters in full detail after the jump...
