What Geek Movie Remakes and Sequels are Too Horrifying for Even Hollywood to Create?

2:50AM June 27, 2008 | Adam Frucci

Hollywood is going a little bit crazy with the unnecessary sequels and remakes these days, more often than not taking a beloved show or movie from our younger years and holding it down while it drowns in a bathtub. Still, there are properties left unmolested, memories that have yet to be tarnished. Trust me: it’s only a matter of time. For this week’s Photoshop contest, I want to see you imagine some new sequels or remakes that would be so offensive to your precious memories that you would swear off movies for good.

2:40AM June 20, 2008 | Adam Frucci

Bill Gates is retiring in a couple of weeks! Oh lordy, the crown prince of Microsoft, retired! What’s he going to do with all his free time? He’ll be the richest retiree ever, so he’ll have plenty of options to fill his days. As you can see, I posit that he’ll hang out on the moon. Your challenge: look into the future and see what Gates will be doing. Then, show us your vision in Photoshop form. Send me your entries of your visions of Gates in retirement to contests@gizmodo.com with “Gates in retirement” in the subject line, and next Tuesday I’ll pick the winners and post a Gallery of Champions.

Unlikely Spokesperson Contest Results: Gadget Ads You’ll Only See in Hell

2:00AM June 11, 2008 | Adam Frucci

Oh my. I knew that I was asking for trouble when I called in Photoshops of inappropriate spokespeople for gadgets, but I didn’t realise just how much trouble I was going to get. I got a huge response for this one, including some of the most sick (and hilarious) entries to a Photoshop contest yet. Beyond the literally 30 Steven Hawking selling the Wii Fit ads and nearly the same amount of Ballmer or Gates selling the iPhone, there were some really creative and brilliant entries here. Hit the jump for the top three winners and then the 40+ runners up in our Gallery of Champions. And remember: these are the fruits of our readers’ sick, sick minds, not ours.
