Image Avalanche #15 by Cal From The Cave of Cool

As the spring approaches and we begin the thawing out process of another cold winter we need something to jump start the process. What better than another fire hot set of photos from my main man Cal over at the Cave of Cool. My Canuck brother from Canada has an even deeper chill to try and kick, and he starts off with some hot stuff today. This set is very pro-Canada and I gotta love him for it. Make sure you guys leave some comments and get over to his own site to see some blogging greatness at work. Click after the jump for today's collection...

Happy Munn-Day!!!

Another Monday, another Munn-Day!!! What better way to get past the dreary weather outside here in NYC besides looking at some high end fashion photography featuring the sexy little samurai known as Olivia Munn? I can't think of a better way, can you? These photos come from another magazine I know that none of you are ever going to buy (Audrey magazine???), but thanks to this blog you get to see... enjoy your Asian pear photos and we shall see her again next week!!!!

Game of Thrones Travel Posters by Rogan Josh

Game of Thrones just wrapped up a stellar second season and is riding high on popularity right now. The original book series, 'A Song of Ice & Fire' by George R.R. Martin, is also enjoying a resurgence since people don't want to wait for the next few years to see how the show plays out on HBO. One of the coolest things about a geek property gaining ground and popularity is the sudden girth of creative interpretations of the property. These excellent 70's style travel posters for locations from the Game of Thrones universe is an excellent example of fringe ideas from a mainstream, property that are absolutely awesome. And honestly, I love that Rogan Josh chose some of the lesser known locations in the books/TV series. Well done all around... and even I would want to visit the Pyke & the rest of the Iron Islands based on that poster!!! Check out all three in the series after the jump...

Gravity Falls: Disney Channel's Next Generation Scooby Doo?

Disney channel has been hitting some homers with it's recent programming. All of the Marvel stuff has been killer, and it looks like they are gearing up for another fun summer full of new programming. One of the shows coming up on the docket is Gravity Falls, which seems to be an amalgamation of a few different past shows. This one reminds me of Scooby Doo mixed with Eerie, Indiana  (a great show that is available on Netflix... watch this one!!!) which is a great combo if you ask me. Wonderful, just wonderful. One of the best parts of being a parent of a 9 year old is getting to watch these shows without feeling guilty... check out a few of the posters and the trailer for the show after the jump.

Cosplay Fever: Bon Jovi's 'It's My Life' Sung By Cosplayers May Be The Best Video Ever!!!

Cosplay is not my thing. personally I don't like to get dressed up. But man do I love watching the crowd do it... and I like watching them doing well. I am of the opinion that awesome Cosplayers are the reasons why cons are so great to attend. Sure, some of them are crazy and over the top... and maybe you can't figure out every japanamation character that you see. But there is no denying the fact that a good cosplay outfit is sure to put a smile on any geeks face. So some genius had the bright idea to gather a crew of these cosplayers present at the MCM Expo convention in London and have them sing Bon Jovi's 'It's My Life' while modeling some great costumes. The results may be the best lip sync video ever! the cosplay is great. There is more than enough crazy Anime characters and the usual fare, but there are some very unique costumes in this one... I especially love The Penguin & the Alien xenomorph costume. Killer stuff. Watch the video after the jump...

OHC of the Day: Lucy Griffinths

Lucy Griffinths is the quintessential OHC candidate. OHC stands for Obscure Hot Chick, and Lucy is just that. It is not that she hasn't been working... oh that is not the case. She has had featured roles in two prominent British mini series (The Little House & Collision)  as well as a starring turn in the BBC's most recent production of Robin Hood. She is Maid Marian on the show, and she is a sexy bad ass that compliments Robin very well. For those of you who have never seen the series, go search it out. It is one of the better Robin Hoods ever. But all the Obscure stuff that exists about her stateside is about to go right out the window, as she is set to be the most notorious newcomer on Season 5 of True Blood. She is set to play Nora, a vampire on the show. But it is the character of Nora that will elevate her to stardom, because of two reasons: 1) The character was not from the books, she is made up for the show. This will probably cause a stir among fans. 2) The character will be the sister of Eric Northman (fan fave Alexander Skarsgard), so if she is on screen with the big viking she will sure to get some shine. It doesn't hurt that she is pretty beautiful with some of the best eyes I have ever seen. You may not know her yet, but you will real soon....

Silhouette Super Kids by Andy Fairhurst

Lots of artists  draw superheroes... nothing new there at all. But a good artist finds a niche way to make those famous heroes their own, whether it be a certain look that they give them or a certain medium that they draw them in. Andy Fairhurst's subjects may be familiar to you, but the way he chooses to convey them are quite unique. He uses a silhouette style to bring out the characteristics of the subjects, and he also chooses to portray them as kids. He has a series of 12 of these, which I included after the jump. But he also has lots of other great artwork, so click here to check it out...

Harry Potter Supercut - Just the Spells!!!

Harry Potter is the most successful movie franchise of all time (financially anyway) and since there were 8 movies there is approximately a full days (close to 24 hours) of screen time. When you have that much screen time about a school of Wizards, there are bound to be some magical spells uttered. So of course someone decided to do a Supercut of Harry Potter, featuring just the spells. Now I know this is long at around 17 minutes, but I think it is great seeing Ron, Hermoine, and Harry as little 11 year olds from the earlier films. Such a great franchise... you can see the clip after the jump.

Growing Up Heroes - A New Tumblr That Shows The Fun Side Of Dressing Up

I find a lot of cool sites in my travels of the Internet, but I am always a happy camper when one of my cohorts here at CCD stumbles upon something cool and passes it along. Jeff Bond sent me this fantastic Tumblr called 'Growing Up Heroes', a website that allows people to upload pictures of themselves dressed up as Superheroes. The pictures are from 1960-now and some of them bring back a ton of memories!!! I have been through countless pages so far, and I plan on submitting all of my son Mikey's Halloween photos shortly because he has been some killer heroes (The Thing, Cap, Iron Man, Green Lantern, Hellboy, Obi Wan... and he did all of those long before their respective movies came out... all by his choice!). Click here to see the rest of the cool gallery's & click after the jump to see my faves...

Rise of The Guardians - Trailer & Character Cards

I read A LOT of movie news... A LOT!!! But every once and again something slips past me and I have no idea what everyone is talking about. This is a case with Rise of the Guardians, the Dreamworks animated release that will be in theaters on November 21st.  This one looks fantastic, with all the heroes of our youth (Santa, the Easter Bunny, etc) protecting children against Pitch (the Boogeyman). The trailer looks magnificent and the character cards they created to describe each one of the figures in the movie make me want to see it even more. Add an all star voice cast that features Chris Pine, Hugh Jackman and Alec Baldwin (among others) and you got my 10 bucks... this one looks to be a holiday season hit. Check out the trailer and the clips after the jump....
