This Is Ground Control To Fox McCloud [Video]

In anticipation of the upcoming Star Fox 64 3D, or in remembrance of a time when games only needed one number suffix, here’s a tribute to the mildly infuriating members of the slightly dysfunctional Star Fox team. Underbelly and BrentalFloss have teamed up with a handful of puppets by Hirokareo and sets by Sidewinder81777 to create this brilliant rendition of David Bowie’s Space Oddity. I always felt like Fox was the most one dimensional character on the team, but after seeing my own frustration superimposed on him, he’s definitely my favorite now.

Protip: Pay attention to the pictures hanging in each character’s cockpit for bonus laughs.

6 Hugh Jackman Period Films That Can Be Watched as Wolverine Prequels

Hugh Jackman is a jack-of-all-trades sort of actor, as comfortable playing the action hero in a modern special effects blockbuster as he is playing the lead in a period musical.  The best thing about this (I mean, aside from good acting) is that he’s done a lot of period films.  He’s also the live action face of one of the Marvel Universe‘s nearly indestructible probably immortal badasses: Wolverine.

This lead me inevitably to the conclusion that you could pretend that some of his period films were also about Wolverine.  Secretly.

You couldn’t call it canonical, since movie Wolverine spends his entire post-X-factor life with his half-brother Sabertooth (until the 1970′s or so).  But you could call it amusing.

Here’s the Netflix queue for your fanfiction adventure:
