May the Force be with you to fight cancer!
This is brilliant! In celebration of the Blu-ray release of ‘Star Wars’, “Stand Up to Cancer” AKA SU2C (@su2c) is teaming up with ‘Star Wars’ and releasing three amazing Star Wars inspired tees to help raise awareness and funds to help further cancer research. These tees feature awesome artwork while sending the message of “using the Force for good”. My favorite has to be the stormtrooper with the message, “Blast Cancer”! These tees will be available at SU2C’s web shop till the end of the year at 25 bucks a tee and the proceed will go towards the cause. Celebrity Star Wars fans such as Emma Stone (Amazing Spider-Man, The Help), Ken Jeong (Community, Hangover), and Bill Hader (Saturday Night Live) are also getting in on the cause by filming promotional video for SU2C wearing the tees and recreating iconic scenes from the movies. I seriously cannot wait to see what Ken Jeong and Bill Hader comes up with! Also, Star Wars and SU2C is teaming up with eBay to auction off movie memorabilia during September 16-23rd, 2011 to raise funds for the cause as well. It’s beautiful when Star Wars can help out a great cause like Stand Up to Cancer. Star Wars is the best!
Now, go and buy a shirt or two… or three. GO NOW.

GREAT SCOTT! I usually save my posts for the mornings, but I couldn’t resist after coming upon some awesome ‘Back to the Future’ news. Earlier today, Frank Marshall (@ledoctor) (the executive producer behind Back the Future) tweeted:
“Something big is coming soon. Can’t say anything yet. No one should know too much about their own destiny. #BTTF”
Of course, a lot of people thought it was going to be announcement regarding a reboot to ‘Back to the Future’, but we knew it was highly unlikely it was going to happen. Later in the evening, we still got some exciting news in form of a teaser video on Youtube by “DocEmmettBrown88″. Titled, “McFly’s Closet”, the video shows an impressive room filled with rows and rows of the iconic Nike sneakers from ‘Back to the Future II’ that Marty McFly wears. If you weren’t aware, last year Nike announced that they patented the concept and plans for a self-lacing shoe using technology that uses an automatic ankle cinching system. Well, I guess it worked out as Nike has announced a super-secret event taking place in Los Angeles tomorrow (September 8th) hosted by world-renowed Nike shoe designer Tinker Hatfield. The select few (not me….) that is invited to the event was given a gift teasing the event. The gift was a pair of Doc Brown’s iconic shield glasses from the film in a black box with the Nike emblem embossed on top. On the sides of the shades reads the inscription, “It’s About Time“. From what we can assume from all the teasers here and there is that Nike is planning on revealing Marty McFly’s 2015 Nike MAG sneakers at the event. This is pretty amazing considering we are going to get them three to four years before the actual release date (FYI: It was 2015 in the film…). We won’t know the exact details until the event is over, but as a die-hard fan, I can only presume that Nike is planning on releasing these shoes (most likely in a limited edition run). All I can say is, “Do you have these in size 13 and please charge it on my credit card”. I’ll post more details once more info is available!
UPDATE: It has been announced that 1500 pairs of shoes will be auctioned on eBay with all net profits going to the Michael J. Fox Foundation. Click for more info

I have good news and bad news.
First the good news. If you are into urban designer/lifestyle/street tees, that you should know about Japanese clothing company, Bathing Ape (AKA Bape) created by Nigo. Well, now the creative minds behind Bape will be working with the creative minds behind ‘Star Wars’ to create a cool new collection of men’s, ladies’, and junior tees of your favorite Star Wars characters with a Bathing Ape twist to be released in the United Kingdom. Here’s the bad news. It’s only going to be released in stores exclusively in the UK. There is no plans to release these tees online or stateside. What a bitch… Regardless, these tees are pretty awesome and I’m pretty sure some bastard in the UK will be selling these on eBay for really high price. Oh well.

What if… What if there is a church that worships the heroes of comic books? I can tell you that I would go ever damn Sunday and never miss a single mass. At the moment, there is not “Church of the Bat” or “Church of X”, but we might just have an idea of what it might be like inside such a church. Etsy seller, FayProduction offers a very cool decal print of various characters from Batman and X-Men designed to imitate stained glass. You can get some of these magnificent prints and stick it on your window to make instant stained glass murals. I think my favorite of the bunch has to be Alfred. I would love to attend the “Church of Pennyworth”. You can pick up these cool prints at FayProduction’s Etsy store!
