Man, I miss this show…

Question: Where’d the lighter fluid come from?!

No, what you are about to see is not real. But oh how I wish it to be!

While, I’m sure some people may not be keen on the idea of Johnny Depp as the Riddler; I don’t know anyone who would have a problem with Phillip Seymour Hoffman as the Penguin. It’s like Christmas all over again!

To say to much about the video you are about to watch would be a disservice to you, me, and all of fandom.

Simply, watch and enjoy:

“Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare” is our favorite game here at FanMade HQ. The sound design and story of the game are great, but we certainly favor the online play.

Some beautiful illustration and sound editing went into these 2 shorts, using audio found in the game.

WARNING: Graphic illustrated blood and violence; brief language. It’s war. People will get hurt.

Ian says: These are amazing works of fandom. It’s so intresting how they reimagined the “Wetwork” stage. I need to play COD 4 right now! Hoo-Ahh

Because we are fans of fans here at FanMadeDotOrg, this video is especially fitting.

We applaud you Daniel. You are a fan after my own heart.

Batman 3.

Is it a go? Christian Bale said he would not do it unless Chris Nolan is directing. Chris Nolan said he will not do it unless he has the right story. What does this mean? Batman 3 is a done deal!

Here is a “not to shabby” fan made trailer for the next Batman.

Who do you want to see faceoff against “Bats” in the next insatlemt? Riddler? Penguin? A nasty combination of both? Sound off in the comments.

Matthew Dominick created this video that illustrates what happens when Mario’s “Warp Whistle” malfunctions.

Also, check out this Flickr set of Mario in the “Real World”.

This fan-made film about a boy and his BMW reminds me of the two Bimmers* I used to own.

Watch this in full screen, and in HD if you’re able. It’s beautifully shot, and the engine sounds have been captured by a true fan of the vehicle.

*“Bimmer” is the correct nickname for the four-wheeled Bavarian Motor Werks vehicles, and the oft-misused “Beamer” moniker is reserved for the motorcycles manufactured by the same company. Now you know, and knowing is half the battle.

Raiders of the Lost Ark is a fan favorite. It’s been parodied, sweded, and the entire opening sequence of the movie that shaped my childhood is based, nearly shot for shot, from ‘Raiders’. That movie is UHF with Weird Al Yankovic. If you’ve seen that movie, then it helps to explain why I am the way I am.

Darkwooddub993 loves ‘Raiders’ as well. He loves it so much he also has a live action version of this and a fight scene on his YouTube page. Apparently, he also loves to move the camera around during stop animation. With that in mind, I would suggest you do not view this video in full screen as it may make you physically uncomfortable. That may have just been my personal experience, and I’m sure I could partially blame that on the combination of Limeade and Poptarts.

Ok, so the title is full of cheese, but this following “remix” is full of amazing editing and transformative storytelling.

Jonathan McIntosh took Edward Cullen from Twilight and introduced him to Buffy The Vampire Slayer. Absolutely genius. And Jonathan, who goes by rebelliouspixels on YouTube, must know the Buffy series like the back of his hand after this feat of editing.
