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

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

If this mashup of Mario Kart<\/em><\/strong> and Star Wars<\/em><\/strong> actually existed, it’d make so much money (via Geek Tyrant<\/a>):<\/p>\n

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

The original trailer for Star Wars: Episode I – The Phantom Menace<\/em><\/strong> made it look better than it turned out. Now here’s a modern trailer in the style of the one for Star Wars: The Force Awakens<\/em><\/strong>, which makes it look even better:<\/p>\n

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

Pixar<\/strong>‘s Inside Out<\/em><\/strong> meets Star Wars: The Force Awakens<\/em><\/strong> in this portrait of Kylo Ren<\/strong> and his emotions by Dan Hipp (via Geek Tyrant<\/a>):<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

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

Mashable makes fun of Star Wars: The Force Awakens<\/em><\/strong> fan theories in this video exploring the sequel’s hidden clues:<\/p>\n

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

We never got to see David Bowie<\/strong> play a superhero, but here’s what he would have looked like as Batman<\/strong> and Captain America<\/strong>. See more art casting him as other character, all linked to hit songs of his, at Geek Tyrant<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

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

This hugely popular viral video features someone dressed as Elsa<\/strong> dancing to “Metralhadora” during Carnival in Brazil, joined by other characters from Frozen<\/em><\/strong>, plus Spider-Man<\/strong> and Woody from Toy Story<\/em><\/strong> (via Buzzfeed<\/a>):<\/p>\n

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

Finally, thanks to Death by Toys, you can now own The Fog<\/em><\/strong> action figures. Er, make that action fluff (via Dread Central<\/a>):<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

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

Watch scenes from The Simpsons<\/em><\/strong> side by side with the movies they reference (via One Perfect Shot<\/a>):<\/p>\n

[embedded content]<\/p>\n

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

Speaking of homage, The Film Theorists ponder whether Reservoir Dogs<\/em><\/strong> rips off City of Fire<\/em><\/strong> or is just paying tribute:<\/p>\n

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

This week is the 20th anniversary of the release of Ted Demme<\/strong>‘s Beautiful Girls<\/em><\/strong>. Watch the original trailer for the ensemble rom-com below.<\/p>\n
