Two men from the Us have created a 20,000-piece replica of Batman's Batcave out of Lego. Carlyle Livingston II and Wayne Hussey first displayed the piece at Emerald City Comicon in late March 2012, but it has only come to wider attention recently after they posted pictures on Livingston's Flickr account. The pair revealed more about their project on the Brothers Brick blog, saying: "The features of this build include the Cave itself with what we think is the most "cave-ish" cave ever constructed. "Added to that (more)...

When it comes to expansive Batman and Lego creations, most of us are content to stick to the video game offerings.
But Carlyle Livingston II and Wayne Hussey have taken things a giant leap forward, creating a spectacular replica of the Batcave using more than 20,000 individual Lego pieces.
The pair debuted the creation at the 2012 Emerald City Comicon. They uploaded several dozen photos and three videos to Flickr detailing the construction of the cave, home to the comic-book character Batman. In the photos you can also see some of their other creations, including several "Star Wars"-themed spaceships. The Brothers Brick site notes that it took Livingston and Hussey more than 800 hours to assemble the 20,000 pieces, with the final model weighing more than 100 pounds.
Their Batcave even comes with its own lighting and a rotating turntable at the center of the cave. The Laughing Squid site notes that a single...

Two years ago, Chad Feehan, writer / director of Wake and producer of All the Boys Love Mandy Lane, picked up the rights to an acclaimed teen horror novel. One slight problem: it was called Twilight. Nothing to do with Stephanie Meyer, this one's by William Gay, and is starting to gain traction as a movie. Feehan himself looks set to direct what's now monickered Beyond the Pale.Twi... sorry, Beyond the Pale (Wayne Hussey is sitting by the phone waiting to hear from the soundtrack producer*) is a Southern Gothic tale of a brother and sister who uncover nefarious goings on at their local funeral parlour, try to blackmail the undertaker, and pay for their temerity by getting a terminator-like ex-con set on them. What ensues is a tense, protracted chase through 1950s Tennessee.Stephen King loved it, although judging by the number of quotes he sends out for book jackets,...

Jess Gibson's new "blocumentary" paints a portrait of the obsessive Adult Fans of Lego (Afol).
We've covered Lego from lots of angles before: From their recent corporate turnaround to their attempts to make MP3 players and cameras to the mammoth creations at Brickcon.
But who are these mega-geeks that remain obsessed with Legos all their lives? Filmmaker Jess Gibson scoured the Pacific Northwest, interviewing some legendary Lego builders, hoping to understand who these guys are (and they're all guys). He's just recently finished the movie, Afol: A Blocumentary, and posted it online:
The human-side is just like any other hobby or obsession: One "Adult Fan of Lego" (also called Afol, pronounced "awful), Jason Ruff, sees a sort of continuity with his childhood in the very modularity of the design: "25 years later, when I get nostalgic, they'll still fit together with the new ones." Wayne Hussey (pictured below) is the director of Brickcon.
