Remember that Bender case mod that had the entire internet a-buzzing a few years back? Well, this Russian nerd totally one-ups it with an absolutely sick Wall-E case that’s just flat out beautiful.

Even better, the guy didn’t just throw up the final piece in a few different poses, though those pics are part of the appeal. No, he walks you through a step by step “Making Of…” presentation, starting with the first flat piece of metal with a few circles sketched out on it, to the machining of the parts, to the painting to the final piece. Of course, it’s in Russian, so you’ll have to either speak the language or have faith in an internet translator site in order to do more than drop your jaw in awe at the pictures.

File this under “How Did I Miss This?” – Apparently, the annual Guac Bowl was held back in February, and the hands down winner was….Guac Solo!

The next day, the clothes were still a little damp, but the warmth of the sun was definitely helping. While I waited, I started painting the frame, and I ran to the hardware store to pick up 6 paper towel holders to spray paint silver and add a little detail to the side panels. By the time I came back, Han was dry, and I finished the paint job.

Emily made the guac with 50(!) avocados, garlic, cilantro, salt, pepper, a little onion, and lots of lime. We spread it on, hoped it would stick, and, well… behold: Han Solo in Guaconite.

The star of “Kung Fu” and “Kill Bill,” David Carradine, was found dead at some time on Wednesday, in a hotel room in Bangcok.

Lest anyone think he was doing something untoward over there, the star was filming a new movie, “Stretch.”

There are not a lot of details available at this time, but according to Carradine’s manager, it’s believed that the actor died of natural causes.

UPDATE: Aw, man – sounds like the manager was just trying to spin things before the horrible truth came out. So sad…

I’m not really digging the robo-suits, but the rest is still pretty cool. G.I. Joe just might be a babysitter flick after all!

This is why the internet is so great. 20 years ago, hardly anyone in the US even knew about Bollywood, much less searched out their movies. Now, Hulu, the best TV/Movie site online, has inked a deal with Saavn, a Bollywood distribution company, to stream movies online.

Bollywood distrib Saavn has teamed up with Hulu to stream pics online, including “Sarkar,” one of many Indian adaptations of “The Godfather.”

For now there are five subtitled films available on Hulu besides 2005’s “Sarkar,” which stars Bollywood icon Amitabh Bachchan — “Hera pheri,” (2000) starring Akshay Kumar; 2004’s “Hulchul”; 2000’s Aishwarya Rai starrer “Dhaai akshar prem ke”; and 1992’s “Deewana.”

More films will be made available through the year.

The G.I. Joe spot? That’s a trailer. Gets you amped for the movie and prepares you for the differences you knew were coming, but weren’t quite sure about. Bonus points: the Baroness.

The TF spot? WTF is that mess? Bonus points: Ravage and Insecticons!
