As always, one of our favorite parts of any convention is the sights and NYCC was full of them this year so we had to share them with the Flickcast audience. The level of dedication by the men and women who attend the con every year is staggering.
Some are picture perfect renditions that rival movie quality costumes like the Anakin Skywalker we saw wandering the floor. Others come from careful collection of legitimate television costumes and props like the classic Power Rangers Green Ranger. Still others take their own imagination and run wild with custom Mandalorian battle armor for both human and giant chicken alike to life sized Castle Crashers.
One of the things this gallery sadly doesn’t do justice is give an idea on just how huge NYCC was this year. Though it is yet to overtake the surrounding neighborhood like SDCC does, the New York Comic Con feels every bit as big and as important as its west coast counterpart.
The entire Javitts Center was filled with every major comic company to movie studios and video game publishers in every corner. This year the Flickcast was only able to spend a day on the Con floor but if things keep looking up for NYCC, we may have to tackle this show the same way we do San Diego Comic Con or E3.
Take a look below to get just a glimpse of the many sights at this year’s convention. See you next year New York!

You remember the first Back to the Future movie, right? In it, Marty McFly (Michael J. Fox) went back in time to save Doc Brown and fix his parents relationship so he could be born in the future. At the end of the movie it all turned out well for him and his family and things seemed wrapped up neatly — except for that whole thing about his kids at the end.
Of course, you also remember what happened to Biff Tannen, the bad guy bully who made life hell for George McFly and by the end of the film in the present, had been reduced to a humble guy waxing Marty’s truck. Well, it seems the makers of this parody video, found over at College Humor, have other ideas in mind fo Biff.
See if you can spot the difference between how the movie ended and how this video thinks the movie would have ended. We’re pretty sure you won’t have much trouble figuring it out.
Check out the video after the break. And remember kids, time travel isn’t for everyone so please, be careful.

It’s very rare that one can have Back to the Future and almost naked models on the same page. Thanks to Playboy.com (Just like Playboy magazine but with less page turning), you can finally merge those two things in your brain.
In celebration of the 25th anniversary of the first Back to the Future film, the online adult entertainment stop put together a themed photo shoot about all things BTTF. This includes a half naked She-Marty on a hoverboard, half naked Doc She-Brown hanging from the clocktower, and a whole bunch of half naked women hanging off of a DeLorean.
We can’t decide if this is a brilliant idea, or just bastardizing a timeless franchise. In a world where sexy costumes rule, and even the Raphael of the Teenaged Mutant Ninja Turtles isn’t safe, why can’t there be sexy scenes from Back To the Future?
Sadly, they missed a perfect opportunity to capitalize on the awkward relationship between Marty and Doc Brown around the campfire in BTTF 3. Maybe next time, Playboy.
In the meantime, you can check out the full sized one-sheet after the jump, and head over to Playboy.com for some more SFW images. Something tells us this isn’t what Huey Lewis had in mind when he sang about “The Power of Love.”

As Hollywood secrets go, this one wasn’t really all that well kept. Many people know that Eric Stoltz was originally cast as Marty McFly in Back to the Future but after five weeks of shooting he just wasn’t working out.
So, in a rather unprecedented move at the time, director Robert Zemekis recast the role with Michael J. Fox and the rest, as they say, was history. Even at the time Zemekis thought Stoltz was a great actor but he just didn’t have the kind of comedic timing the director was looking for.
Now, with the help of the video we have for you today, you can judge for yourself if Zemekis made the right choice. In the video, which comes from the Blu-ray release of the Back to the Future trilogy, you an see Zemekis and Steven Spielberg talking about the decision.
But more importantly, you can see Stolz himself as Marty McFly. Take a look and tell us what you think. The Back to the Future Trilogy hits Blu-ray on October 26th.

If 2010 goes down in the record books as anything at all, it will be known as “The Year of Back To The Future” as we celebrate the 25th anniversary of the trilogy. Not only will we be treated to a brand new Blu-Ray release of the original films on October 26th, but now we’ll be treated to a brand new video game for the franchise, as well.
From TellTale Games, the guys that brought us Sam & Max and Tales of Monkey Island, the game will come in the form of five monthly episodes, each a playable adventure featuring our favorite characters. Christopher Lloyd is returning to voice Doc Brown (because, why not?) and Bob Gale is even getting involved. From the press release:
Co-creator and writer Bob Gale’s involvement further strengthens the links to the original series. Gale is consulting with Telltale on the characterizations and storyline for the game, ensuring it will be true to the spirit and adventure of the films.
Gale elaborates: “Twenty-five years ago when I wrote Doc Brown’s line about ‘seeing the future,’ little did I realize that I would be traveling with him to work on this game. Collaborating with Telltale is an amazing opportunity to continue the adventures of Doc and Marty.”
The first in the game series will be coming to us as soon as this November, and those going to PAX in Seattle this weekend will be treated to the very first look at the game. Also, shortly after BTTF is behind TellTale, word is that their next franchise to tackle in game form is Jurassic Park, so watch out for those Spitters!
In the meantime, check out the very first piece of artwork from the upcoming Back to the Future game, featuring an awesome rendering of both Doc and Marty after the jump.
