Fun with Photoshop and SPIDER-MAN 3
Caution: NSFW
Background: On the General Discussion board at RottenTomatoes.com, "Donner", one of the regulars and webmaster at SlightlyWarped.com, runs a weekly contest called "Fun With Photoshop", where you take stills from an upcoming movie and alter them appropriately (or inappropriately), and the winners appear on SlightlyWarped.com (and sometimes he donates a small movie-related prize). There are four basic rules:
In addition, there are some customs:
Half the fun of the FWP threads are coming up with ideas from watching everyone else's pics go by. But usually by the next Monday, Donner posts the results of the previous week's contest, and then the fun really begins.
So, with that said, I hereby present...

Edited to add: I just saw The Winning Photoshopped Pic. I haven't laughed this hard in, like, forever.
Background: On the General Discussion board at RottenTomatoes.com, "Donner", one of the regulars and webmaster at SlightlyWarped.com, runs a weekly contest called "Fun With Photoshop", where you take stills from an upcoming movie and alter them appropriately (or inappropriately), and the winners appear on SlightlyWarped.com (and sometimes he donates a small movie-related prize). There are four basic rules:
- The more tasteless, the better; however, nudity needs to be kept to a minimum.
- Donner provides usually 5-10 pics, but you may use any pics you find online from the same movie.
- Awards are given for specific types of pics (video game references, animated GIFs, altered movie posters, most obscure, etc.), so get creative with the imagery.
- Winners are posted on SlightlyWarped.com. Click the ads when you go. (Donner sometimes adds a tag to the end of that sentence that usually isn't work-safe.)
In addition, there are some customs:
- One of the most successful "FWP" contests ever was for the movie The Riddick Chronicles starring Vin Diesel. A shot of Riddick diving in with a knife overhead into a crowd generated by far the most entries, and as a result, that one pose would occasionally pop up in contests afterwards (there was, for a while, a custom where the first person to use Riddick in a shot would post, "O.K., just to get it out of the way...", then post their pic). As a result, Donner added a category in the contest for "Best Use of Riddick".
- When FOX's Trading Spouses: Meet Your New Mommy aired a controversial series of episodes featuring a fundamentalist Christian woman named Marguerite Perrin who just went completely ape-sh-t about the horrid, terrible family she'd been with during the episode and when she returned to her family, she was aghast that they'd been living with the mother of such a terrible family. The pictures of Marguerite screaming at the top of her lungs onscreen made screencap and online video history, and, like Riddick, started finding their way into "FWP" entries. Riddick dubbed her the "God Warrior" from one of Perrin's own quotes, and there is now a category called "Best Use of God Warrior".
- Donner adopted a cat a few years back, but every time he'd go to take a picture of the cat, he'd get flash reflection off the eyes, or the cat would snarl, or both. Donner began posting threads about "Evil Kitty" and her reaction to screen news/a lame poster/etc., and sure enough, Evil Kitty began appearing in "FWP" entries. So, now there is a category for "Best Use of Evil Kitty".
Half the fun of the FWP threads are coming up with ideas from watching everyone else's pics go by. But usually by the next Monday, Donner posts the results of the previous week's contest, and then the fun really begins.
