When invited to a birthday party whose theme required that the boys dress as superheroes and the girls as princesses, dad Jay C. Batzner came up with an awesome compromise that simultaneously stomped on the face of gender normativity and made his daughter happy. Wonder Woman, both a princess and a superhero, had long been Daria’s favorite hero, so he sewed her this costume. We think this might be one of those steps to raising kickass daughters.

“The Muppets” won’t premiere until December 25, 2011, but Disney has released the first official image from the upcoming film.
The shot appears to be from the film’s table read, with writer Jason Segel surrounded by many of his favorite Fabricated Americans, including Kermit, Ms. Piggie, Statler & Waldorf and more.
In addition to co-writing the film, Segel will also star in the project, which marks the first big-screen Muppet movie in 11 years. Production begins this month.
Sweetums! I love this new movie already.

440 hours and innumerable cups of coffee went into this astonishingly faithful rendering of The Matrix in stop-motion Lego, made to commemorate the tenth anniversary of the original movie. And we mean faithful: Trinity Help (named for the scene depicted) is a “frame-accurate” remake, which means that animators Trevor Boyd and Steve Ilett “took all of the video frames from that part of the movie (that’s nearly 900 frames for just 44 seconds of footage) and reproduced them all in Lego.”
To put the amount of work into perspective, if Trevor and Steve wanted to make the whole movie in Lego (and allow time to eat and sleep) the project would stretch to 25 years.

You should really head over to the site to read the full, scene-by-scene making-of notes. I have lost way too much time to it already today. There are some hacking gems in there, too. For instance, the bullet trails are made from sequins and flower-arranging wire. When Trevor bought them from the florist, two old ladies asked him what he was making:
“I am doing a stop motion Lego animation of a scene from The Matrix and I will be using the foam to hold wire bullet trails in place.”
“Oh, you’ll want dry then.”
I guess they have done it all before!
