Steve Bolton (Michael’s talentless brother) is a British man who recently changed his name to Buzz Lightyear . Possibly to hit on children. A mechanic from West Bromwich, who considers himself to be the world’s biggest ‘Toy Story’ fan , has officially changed his name to Buzz Lightyear. Such was Steve Bolton’s love for the first two movies, he decided to do something special for the launch of ‘Toy Story 3′, so the 26-year-old contacted the UK Deed Poll Service and paid for the name change. Now he can legally have “Buzz Lightyear” on his passport (whether the destination “infinity and beyond” is acknowledged remains to be seen), credit cards etc. Oh so you’re the biggest ‘Toy Story’ fan, are you Steve? Well I’ve got news for you: THERE’S NO F***ING WAY. There are kids out there that love those movies more than you’ve ever loved anything in your life. Just sayin’, if I ripped Woody’s arms off would you crap your pants and cry all day? Exactly. British ‘Toy Story’ fan gets a Buzz out of name change [yahoo] Thanks to littlezan and Woody (or it will be when the paperwork comes through), who really are the biggest ‘Toy Story’ fans and have the tattoos to prove it. Suck it, Steve!

Man Legally Changes Name To Buzz Lightyear

Wanna look like Iron Man while you’re riding your motorcycle ? First things first: you’re gonna need a motorcycle . And no, your scooter doesn’t count. You couldn’t even pull off a Tin Man costume riding that deathtrap. The latest motorcycle suit inspired by a comic book movie puts you in Tony Stark’s Iron Man 2 armor — complete with a glowing chest arc reactor — for just $1,100. “We’ve replicated the visual effect of Iron Man’s armor,” said David Pea, owner of UD Replicas, which previously released suits based on The Dark Knight and X2. “From the neck down, every single detail is form-molded leather, and has presented us with a fantastic creative challenge.” “Each Iron Man 2 Motorcycle Suit … incorporates a chest arc reactor made of highly reflective, light-sensitive material that glows when light hits it. The Iron Man 2 Motorcycle Suit also incorporates removable CE-approved body armor; gloves with built-in, antiskid Kevlar in the leather lining of the palms. Yeah, I dunno. As cool as it would be to ride a crotch rocket with an Iron Man suit on, I’m gonna have to pass. You see, Mr. Stark has already promised to show me the new suit he’s been working on. Ready when you are, Tony! Hoho, it’s a birthday suit, I get it! (Keep that crime-fighting penis away from me) Hit the jump for a shot from the rear and a link to the product page if you’re actually this ridiculous.

Nice, But It Could Still Use A ‘If You Can Read This, War Machine Fell Off’ Patch On The Back: Iron Man 2 Motorcycle Leathers/Costume

This is a 3:30 war movie made entirely with cardboard weaponry . It’s incredibly well made though. Granted not as good as Saving Private Ryan or Band of Brothers , but if you expected it to be you obviously have zero grasp on reality. This video took about a month and a half of planning, making cardboard guns, filming, and editing. Really COol! Make this video, you will need: - 254 program crashes - 427 manual frames to rotoscope - 59 layers of sound effects - a BUTTLOAD of cardboard and box cutters - and a katamari That’s, uh….that’s a lot of program crashes. Maybe you should, oh I don’t know, CONSIDER SWITCHING TO A MAC. Kidding, don’t do that. Or should you? Let the flamin’ begin! Hit it for the action-packed video.

Note: Animated gif is after the jump because, I don’t know if you can tell or not, but this one ain’t moving. Haha, what do you mean that’s an Aliens quote? WELL MAYBE IF THERE WASN’T AN ALIENS VS. PREDATOR FRANCHISE I WOULDN’T GET SO CONFUSED. Psyche, you know I still would — because I’m stupid. Like your face . Reverse burn, no return fire! (yelled like punch-buggy, no punch-backs). Hit the jump for the animated gif , or don’t if you’re good at predicting things and already know what’s gonna happen . And if that’s the case — I wanna know how I’m gonna die. *please don’t say drowning, please don’t say drowning* F***! In my own urine?!

Game Over, Man!: Predator/Duck Hunt Mashup

NOTE: Full-res picture HERE in case you’re into cancerous moles and back hair. Remember Avatar tattoo guy? First it was the left shoulder , then the right , and now a full-body Neytiri next to his spine. Based on the quality, I’m gonna assume he got this one in the slammer. Which, fun fact: is where I met my first boyfriend. Picture Thanks to Steve, who has a pterodactyl tat across his back that flaps its wings when he does the funky chicken, making it cool and not so cool at the same time.

Just like this (because this is a picture of one being filmed is the thing). When I saw this setup, print in Esquire, I assumed they had built a physical crawl, dragged through the camera’s field of view to create the effect. Looking closer, though, it’s obvious that it was the camera that moved in this setup, slowly and carefully rolled back over the glossy, printed plate, which measured about six feet long. It looks like a colored lightbox with the letters glowing through an opaque film. Awesome. You know, it’s amazing what you can accomplish even without computers. Kidding, computers are life. So That’s How They Filmed the Star Wars Opening Crawl… [gizmodo] and Rare Empire Photos from Maxim Magazine [starwars] (with a bunch of never before seen candid shots) Thanks to ray, who, together with gun, makes one of my favorite weapons.

Maddie Chambers went and built herself a super impressive looking Bag End hobbit hole dollhouse . It’s amazing. I posted a couple more pictures after the jump, but Maddie has between two and three billion on her website which you should go check out to see the whole thing. My penis? You’d need two more eyes to see the whole thing. Hit it for a couple more shots and another link to Maddie’s website.

Ten years ago, much of the excitement at CES and in Hollywood involved the possibilities of digital cinema and television. This week in Vegas, it’s all about 3D . Sony CEO Howard Stringer described it as ” the next great consumer experience ,” and was joined on stage by previously Kanye-bashed pop star Taylor Swift, whose performance was then streamed live in 3D . Earlier this week, Sony announced a joint venture with Discovery Communications and IMAX to create a new 24-hour 3D channel, to launch next year . ESPN promises to use Sony pro HD cameras to capture sporting events for a new 3D sports channel which will launch in June, coinciding with the 2010 FIFA World Cup in South Africa. Sony, Samsung , LG and Toshiba all unveiled 3D HDTVs, and related 3D offerings. But Panasonic’s VT25 flat-screen HDTVs will actually include the funny glasses . The Panasonic press conference Wednesday opened with a live broadcast from Osaka, Japan, of company president Fumio Ohtsubo,using an HD visual communications system. ” How do I look? ,” his high-def streamed likeness asked the audience. He then introduced Panasonic’s new $21,000 HD 3D pro camcorder : two lenses and a camera head integrated into one body. More on the Panasonic 3D hub .
