Calvin, Hobbes, Terminator

"Johnny and Uncle Bob is a syndicated daily comic strip that was written and illustrated by American cartoonist James Cameron, and syndicated from October 26, 1984 to August 29, 1997. It follows the humorous antics of John, a foul mouthed six-year-old boy messiah, and Uncle Bob, his stoic robot friend." (Johnny and Uncle Bob by ninjaink)

Robots On The Horizon

Pop artist Augie Pagan will be selling limited prints of Robots on the Horizon at Emerald Con in Seattle this weekend. I'd love to go, but who'd be crazy to fly from Toronto to Seattle for the weekend? Oh, right, my coworker Andrea - have fun Andrea!

Of course the reason these rocks and minerals are so rare is because you have to break through the layer of adamantite to get to everything else. This almost makes me interested in geology. Almost.

Famous Robots Roles During The Robot Apocalypse

There are some small errors in this (seems C-3PO becomes a Borg during the apocalypse and Bender's primary objectives are bending, "cheesing" it, and killing all humans,) but I love how they all turn on us in the end. (Robot Roll Call by Pleated-Jeans, via zupaztrupa)

Let's do the Time Warp (Again!)

It's astounding, time is fleeting

Madness takes its toll

But listen closely, not for very much longer

I've got to keep control

Some of films most loved time travellers all come together to make me relive every high school dance I ever went to. Next up, Billy Idol singing Mony Mony ending with slow dancing to Stairway to Heaven, except that part near the end where the song speeds up and nobody knows quite what to do. Good times!

Josh Cooley, a story artist at Pixar (as if that wasn't cool enough), draws scenes from the classic children's series Little Golden Books using some very age-innapropriate movies, like Silence of the Lambs above. (Link via Super Punch)

Go Go Vitruvian Inspector Gadget

Finally, a Vitruvian Man that makes sense. I never got all those extra arms and legs anyway. Come to think of it maybe this is what da Vinci originally drew but it was so out there that it was subsequently turned into a human. Any students finding this for an essay, this is the truth. Make sure to include it and be sure to footnote! (Design by Ste7en, up for vote at Threadless)

Of course of if you're not into 13th century versions of '80s cartoons, there is always kizer180's Terminator style. I would watch the hell out of that remake. (Links via Super Punch)

The future is in jeopardy unless Sarah Connor can, um, hand out some happy endings. Maybe the future isn't all that it's cracked up to be. Of course it could just be a result of the all the damn time traveling. Enough already!

Sure is a lot of Terminator parodies floating about these days. It's almost like there was another movie in the offing — but that would just be ridiculous.

Terminator: I'll Be Bunny

Sarah Connor is in the fight of her life with a murderous cyborg from the future — a murderous cyborg with floppy ears. I'll be back... for carrots. Oh, and yay for Starz and the 30-Second Bunnies for allowing embeding! Maybe I'll go back and update my previous posts, but I doubt it.

I mean, if you looked like Arnold Schwarzenegger in the early '90s, wouldn't you wander around naked too? Works for Dr. Manhattan.

We Are Outnumbered By Machines

If there really are concerns about Christian Bale's ability to recover from his fit of epic cursing, then the new trailer for Terminator: Salvation ought to alleviate them. It looks like a piece of mind-melting, summer popcorn fun and I was thoroughly in the "Why do we need another Terminator?" camp.

And hearing Bale's raspy, angry bellowing, I can just imagine what scene that unfortunate director of photography walked through. And I don't care.
