Night in the Museum 2 (2009)

A monkey in a spacesuit; what more do you want from a film?
Actually it's a surprisingly entertaining sequel to the original with a star turn by Hank Azaria as Kahmunrah...and there's a little tiny monkey in a spacesuit

Planeta Bur (1962) Gallery 2

It's time to post some more pictures from this Soviet cinematic feast for the eyes.  I don't do multiple posts for many spacesuits but every time I see these I just want to share them again.  Beautiful are they not.  Enjoy again.

Nick Fury, Agent of SHIELD Vol 2 #16 and #17 (1990)

Nick Fury, Agent of SHIELD Vol 2 #16.  Published October 1990.  This is a rather nice visual tribute to the slick and sexy suit design featured on Vol 1 #6
Nick Fury, Agent of SHIELD Vol 2 #17  Published in November 1990.  Less sexy and slick but still a nice look all be it quite retro by the time we're in the 90's

Nick Fury, Agent of SHIELD Vol 1 #11 (1969)

Another Nick Fury, Agent of SHIELD cover.  This is the 11th issue of the first volume and is from 1969 though it's not anywhere near as cool as the cover to issue 6.

Nick Fury, Agent of SHIELD Vol 1 #6 (1968)

Nick Fury, Agent of SHIELD issue 6 published by Marvel Comics in November 1968. This is just one of the many great and iconic covers by Jim Steranko.

Capricorn One (1978) film poster

We'll do the film itself at some point in the future but now enjoy the poster.

WWF The Monkey Returns (2010)

Can't believe I only discovered this a few minutes ago but it's too cool not to share right away.
The images are screen grabs from the video for Australian musician Ben Lee's single Song For the Divine Mother of the Universe and it was made in collaboration with WWF Australia.
It's the story of a space monkey returning to Earth after 65 years and finding its home world to be a very different place from that which it left all those years previous.
Its a good cause, a stunning video and a rather addictive little song that grows on you much quicker than you would expect.
I don't do links so you'll have to go look it up in all the usual places.  It should take you about five seconds to find and leave you with images to last a life time.
It's pop music video as an art form.
