Films and the cinema provide a lot of great inspiration for LEGO builders all over the world. You’ll find LEGO models inspired by everything from Mad Max to Toy Story here.

Cruella DeVille, if she doesn’t scare you, no evil thing will.

As much as we try not to populate the blog with every creation by a single builder, it’s difficult when that builder keeps making blogworthy MOCs from different themes each time. Tyler Clites (Legohaulic) recently ventured into the world of Disney with his Cruella DeVille’s Rolls Royce. As usual, Tyler’s minifigs are also innovative; I never made the connection that Two-Face’s hair also doubles for the hairpiece of this classic Disney villain.

For the record, I purposely refrained from blogging Tyler’s Organibot for the above reason. You should still check it out if you haven’t seen it.

Tumbler by Rick Theroux

Rick Theroux‘s minifig scale Tumbler rivals the one by Brent Waller. The giant balloon tires and the windshield decals are two of my favorite details on this creation. It’s always a bonus to know that Batman can sit comfortably at the controls.

Thanks for the tip, eclipseGrafx!

Miyazaki or bust.

Iain Heath is a building fool — he’s created a myriad of iconic pieces of some of Hayao Miyazaki‘s greatest films. But now he’s gone and built the master himself:

All of these are scheduled to make an appearance at BrickCon, as part of the Big in Japan display!

Ghostbusters Ecto-1

Alex Schranz (Orion Pax) did a stunning job of rendering the Ectomobile from Ghostbusters in Lego. This beauty was completed in only two days and features some shiny chrome elements. He says it’s a keeper, and who couldn’t agree more?

Despicable Me minion by Alex Eylar

Alex Eylar (Profound Whatever) has been on a building tear lately, posting more LEGO creations than we can keep up with. One of my favorites so far is also one of the simplest — a minion from the upcoming movie Despicable Me.

As much as I love the minions — and Alex’s LEGO rendition of one — I’m less interested in seeing the movie, especially after seeing the full trailer before Toy Story 3. Bungling supervillains fighting each other? Yes. Three adorable girls who bring the goodness out in a supervillain, who actually has a heart of gold? No.

Obscure but beloved Futurama quote to establish blogger’s geek cred

Like NBC executives, Fox executives are morons. Everyone knows that. Thankfully, Comedy Central knows what it’s doing, which means we all get to enjoy Futurama again.

Everyone also knows that no pop culture phenomenon would be complete without CubeDudes. Thankfully, Andrew Lee is there to fill the gap.

Sweet zombie Jesus indeed, The Living Brick.

Futurama’s New New York welcomes you!

Matt De Lanoy (Pepa Quin) presents the world of Futurama with his New New York layout that features many iconic buildings from the cartoon. Creation of the display spanned two years, which you may even remember our post of the Planet Express in 2008. The full layout measures almost 5’X7′ and there’s tons of details worth checking out, including Matt getting his head in the gutter.

You can see all photos and detail shots in Matt’s Futurama collection on Flickr. Oh, and don’t forget that new episodes air tonight on Comedy Central!

Indy bignettes by Brian Williams

Brian Williams posted two new Indiana Jones bignettes (big vignettes). As with his works, I’m really impressed by the presentation, both the photography and the creations themselves.

The Rocket Escape is composed of four standard 8X8 vignettes. The construction of the rocket is elegant for such a small scale. After staring at the large image, I still can’t figure out how it’s made. The Beersheba scene features great use of the Prince of Persia parts, but my favorite detail is the octagon base edged with rubber bumpers.

The only upsides are the pets.

I, like so many others, adore How to Train your Dragon. The characters are great, the story is engaging, and it’s an entertaining movie. And I LOVE Toothless. He cracks me up to no end.

So Taylor Baggs‘ diorama of Toothless and his budding trust for Hiccup caught my eye, for sure.

The last of the V8 Interceptors

Patrick (Jason son) has given us an excellent rendition of Mad Max’s car. I’m not certain of how common this car ever was as a police interceptor in Australia, but I like to think that they’re running around all over the place. Remember, two men enter, one man leaves.

Welcome to the first and – hopefully – last Island Open!

It’s hard to believe that the last episode of Lost airs tonight. Unlike 24 (which my wife and I finally gave up watching earlier this season), I’ll really miss J.J. Abrams’ odd creation.

Ryan Wood (lights) commemorates the end of six great seasons with a couple of odd creations of his own — CubeDude Hurley and John Locke.

Hurley sports his usual curly locks, while John Locke has an orange peel in his mouth.

Well, at least we still have Fringe, and Super 8 comes out next year (along with a possible Cloverfield sequel).

Lego Iron Man privatizes world peace one brick at a time

I just watched Iron Man 2 this weekend, and I’m happy to see that Peter C. has captured the awesomeness of Iron Man in an action figure sized build. The head is a custom Lego-compatible piece from Hazel’s Amazing Armory, the core is a Clickits icon.
