Evil Movie Corporations As Modern Websites
The best science fiction movies are only as good as the evil corporations they feature. What would the evil corps look like as modern websites with slight resemblance of modern evil corporations?
I like evil movie corporations, and for a long time I’ve wanted to do a case-study of their corporate imagery. I did some research and found out that these suckers does a fine match with real world evil corporations. The more I looked into it, the more it seemed as though these suckers make a fine match with some real-world evil corporations. I took my Adobe Fireworks, locked myself into bunker and reverse-engineered from scratch these six detailed lookalike-mashups of evil corporations.
Update April/2011: Looks like most of the original evil corp sites have done some facelifting, so my visions does not match anymore. Duh, should have taken screenshots instead of just links.
1. OCP meets Apple
OCP is the nasty corporation from Robocop, but Apple does much better job succeeding in the path of evilness. My vision of OCP site has some same resemblance of Apple’s site, but that is purely a coincidence.
2. Rekall meets RyanAir
Paul Verhoeven directed Robocop, but he also directed another fine masterpiece called Total Recall. The evil company Rekall is specialized on screwing your brain with false memories, stuff like travelling into Mars. If there is evil travelling corporation, it is definitely RyanAir – the wicked airlines with their their cheap tactics and butt-ugly websites.
3. Weyland-Yutani meets Toyota
Weyland-Yutani should ring the bell from Alien-movies. I’ve been reading some news and looks like Toyota is doing fine job with their evil products and alien-technology.
4. Skynet meets Bing
Skynet has been sending robots from the future since good old Terminator-days. Everybody thinks that Google is the new real-life Skynet, but I say that the stealthy search engine Bing from Microsoft is the genuine evil dopedealer.(eg. Skynet-logo with Google-colors is way too easy).
5. Cyberdyne as Microsoft
When there is Skynet, there is also Cyberdyne. So, is Microsoft the Cyberdyne? Sure looks so.
6. Tyrell as RealDoll
Bladerunner is classic movie, where Han Solo shoots robots. While the evil corporation Tyrell produces too realistic clones, our real world equivalent RealDoll (check mainpage, NSFW) does the same with evil sexdolls.
Conclusion
If some evil corporation wants to send me a lawsuit, please send me mail to mikko@vart.io. If somebody evil company wants to hire me to fix their evil layouts, please send mail to mikko@vart.io.
