Initially I was going to make this a Blu-Ray case, but upon remembering how functional the Scare Floor Door System was in the film, I thought it would be better as a Blu-Ray/DVD player.
Gadgets
Eternal Sunshine Fridge Magnet
Having Joel and Clementine from the film Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind on the front of your fridge would be the coolest magnet ever. Especially if you used them to hold notes for shopping lists and other helpful reminders - stuff you want to remember. Ha.
These are small figurines with magnets on the back. Ideally they would be two separate characters, so you can detach them from each other if you’re feeling cruel.
You could probably get Rude & Reckless to make you a set.
Comic Book Rack Blu-Ray Display
Now that superhero movies are becoming a regular fixture, I thought it would be fun to create a DVD rack that looked like a comic book display. I recall seeing racks like this in grocery stores and pharmacies, usually covered in Archie and Richie Rich titles.
The top of the rack would feature a backlit sign, which could double as a lamp in your living space.
Star Wars Blu-Ray Case
This is a really basic design: R2D2’s body is essentially a canister of Blu-Ray discs (approximately a dozen discs). Each disc is accessible via an extending drawer:
Each drawer is manually opened. To ensure the disc is fully clear of R2’s body the drawers would telescope (almost like extending the dinner table to add a center cross piece).
This case would be on the bigger side: about 7″ wide and 9 - 10″ tall. Given its size I feel it has room for lights and sounds, which I’m sure most fans would love.
The Last Starfighter Car Fob
I don’t think it’s possible for aftermarket car fobs to be a thing, but if they were I’d like to see one based on the Communo Crystal device from the Last Starfighter. I doubt Centauri would come to the rescue if the Alarm button were pressed.
Sneakers Blu-Ray Case
Sneakers is one of my all-time favorite films, simply for the fact that it’s just a fun film through and through. It’s too bad it hasn’t become a franchise, but then again I’ve seen the Ocean’s Eleven sequels and maybe it’s for the best.
Back to the Future Alarm Clock
I designed this BTTF alarm clock based on the Time Coordinates display from the Delorean. It automatically changes the alarm date to tomorrow on a daily basis, unless you want to push it forward a few days because of the weekend.
