And the award for the best interpretation of Admiral Ackbar goes to…

Currently running at Art Asylum Boston, this stunning art show entitled Art Strikes Back features some of the most unique interpretations of George Lucas’ film saga I’ve ever seen.

Encompassing various styles and medium, 30 artists have showcased Star Wars in ways never seen before.  It’s really hard to pick and choose favorites, but I imagine the above image should give you a taste of what the whole show has in-store.  Grab a comfy chair, click the link below, and get ready to have your mind blown as you look through the art.  Unfortunately, the show closed for live viewing this past Sunday, but hey, that’s what we have the internet for, right?

If you’re a tech nerd like me, you probably pay a bit more attention than you should to the computer OS’s characters use within movies.

You end up noticing things like if Apple provides computers, all characters have them, except the villain.  And sometimes you notice…wait a second…that’s not a real program at all!

And of course, there are people who are paid to design them. One such designer is Mark Coleran, and he’s been rad enough to share on his site designs for faux computer programs for dozens of movies, including The Bourne Identity (where the above image comes from), Tomb Raider and others.

Click through the link below and get ready to appreciate a side of movie creation which has had little appreciation shown to it before.
