Izzo melds music and movies with his most recent minifig, with Sting as the evil Feyd-Rautha in David Lynch’s Dune (1984):

ONE: A Space Odyssey
Richard McCarthy recently blogged a video parody of Spider-Man 2 titled “The Peril of Doc Ock,” from Spite Your Face Productions — the same company that created the LEGO Monty Python Camelot song.
Here’s one I hadn’t seen before, a parody of 2001: A Space Odyssey titled “ONE: A Space Odyssey” (because it’s only one minute long):
And here’s another, not to be confused with Darth Vader conducting the stormtrooper orchestra. (D’oh! Thanks Sean! Sorry Treehouse Animation!)

Rock on, my little Norse dudes!
How cool is that?
Jonathan Coulton is a musician who releases his songs under a Creative Commons license, just as I do with my LEGO pictures and blog content. The idea is that you allow other people to use your creations (music, artwork, text, etc.) as part of their own creative work. The type of CC license Jonathan and I use is called Attribution-NonCommercial-ShareAlike 2.5. That means you can copy and redistribute my work, as long as you give me credit, don’t use it for commercial purposes, and re-release your work under the same license.
When I changed my blog content and LEGO pictures from a standard copyright to a Creative Commons license, I never thought someone would actually use it, so it’s nice to know the system works. Thanks to Classic-Castler Sir Dillon for sending me a link to the video!
Now I’m off to build Jonathan in minifig form so he can join the rest of my musical minifigs. ;-)

I work alone, understand? Alone.
Nelson Yrizarry mentioned recently that he has a bit of extra time on his hands. This is a wonderful thing for all of us, because he’s posted sixteen vignettes based on Spider-Man (I’m hoping Nelson will re-post some of the great minifigs separately).
Possibly lost in the Spider-Vig hubbub is a wonderful vignette based on the 1994 movie The Professional starring French actor Jean Reno, alongside Natalie Portman in her debut role (click for gallery):
Here’s Léon with his rather formidable sniper rifle:
Stay on the bomb run, boys!!!
Linus Bohman has posted an entry in the current Joe Vig contest that just (ahem) blew me away (via VignetteBricks and Brick Brick):
What’s so cool about this vignette is that Bohman has built the whole thing in black and white, just like the movie (Stanley Kubrick’s Dr. Strangelove). The only elements in color are Joe Vig. Great work, Bohman!
Redshirts Never Survive Away Missions!
I hadn’t planned on making any minifigs based on Star Trek the original series, nor ones from Deep Space Nine, so I’m glad that Steve Bishop has created both!
On an away mission, here’s Lt. Spock, Capt. James T. Kirk, Dr. Leonard H. McCoy, and the soon-to-be-deceased (I assume) Lt. D. E. Adman:
Captain Kirk is awesome!!!
Here’s the crew from Deep Space Nine, Chief Miles E. O’Brian, Capt. Benjamin Sisko, Lt. Jadzia Dax, and Dr. Julian Bashir:

Edit (6/10/06): I forgot to include my Borg drones when I first posted this:
The Omnibus Serenity and Firefly Post
I’m a huge fan of Serenity and Firefly. It’s always nice to see minifigs, vehicles, and vessels from the ‘verse, so (low lighting aside) I was pleased to run across Alex Peacock’s hover mule:
That reminded me of some other great mules and ‘verse LEGO creations I’ve seen on Brickshelf and elsewhere. Here’s a beautiful, larger-than-minifig-scale mule by Will Vale:
Another mule by Brickshelfer theReflexx:
The final mule of the day, by Brickshelf user Lord-Thrawn:
And last but most certainly not least, Christopher Doyle’s not-quite-minifig-scale Serenity:
