Here are a bunch of little bites to satisfy your hunger for movie culture:<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Movie Mashup of the Day:<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Can you guess what “Toy Squad” is? That’s right, a mashup featuring footage from Toy Story<\/strong> <\/em>and audio from the Suicide Squad<\/strong> <\/em>trailer (via Cinematic Montage Creators<\/a>).<\/p>\n

Song Parody of the Day:<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Speaking of DC Comics characters, in honor of Straight Outta Compton<\/strong> <\/em>holding onto its box office crown this weekend, here’s a new parody of the title song as performed by Batman<\/strong> villains. Here is “Straight Outta Gotham”:<\/p>\n

Supercut of the Day:<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Speaking of Batman<\/strong>, he may a good guy, but he’s also a killer. Here is a supercut counting all the lives he’s ended in all of his movies:<\/p>\n

Vintage Image of the Day:<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Yesterday was the birthday of Bolaji Badejo<\/strong>, the 6’10” (some places list him at 7’2″) actor who played the alien in Alien<\/strong><\/em>. He would have turned 62, but he died 23 years ago. Here he is in the iconic costume:<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

Cosplay of the Day:<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Does Iron Man<\/strong>‘s armor work underwater? Either way, this Iron Merman cosplay looks like a great way to get the Avenger seaworthy (via Fashionably Geek<\/a>):<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Star Wars <\/em>of the Day:<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

I’ll let the Facebook post below explain today’s adorable bit of Star Wars<\/em> fandom, which is followed by a video of the fan in action at Disneyland (via Fashionably Geek<\/a>).<\/p>\n

Fan Poster of the Day:<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Fitting in with our earlier post on The Karate Kid<\/strong> <\/em>today, here’s a fan-made poster representing the fight between Johnny and Daniel as cobra vs. crane (via Geek Tyrant<\/a>):<\/p>\n

Video Essay of the Day:<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

We’ve seen plenty of supercuts of people breaking the fourth wall in movies. Now here’s a video essay from Now You See It on how<\/em> the technique is used in those movies:<\/p>\n

Movie Redo of the Day:<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

How do they tell the story of Mad Max: Fury Road<\/em><\/strong> in the world of Mad Max<\/em>? Probably through oral history and spoken legend, but maybe through hieroglyphics, like so (via Neatorama<\/a>):<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Classic Trailer of the Day:<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Sam Raimi<\/strong>‘s Darkman<\/em><\/strong> hit theaters on this day 25 years ago, and although it’s only considered a cult classic today, it was actually the box office champ its opening weekend. Watch the original trailer for the superhero movie below.<\/p>\n
