My most-anticipated movie of the year will be released tomorrow! I wasn’t sure if I would be able to watch the movie while it was still out in theaters (I still feel uncomfortable leaving J all alone to watch Claire and Aerin…I know he can do it, but I prefer that he has help!), but my […]

Ingenius ‘Back to the Future’ Trilogy Posters
Three things I love about these posters: They can be displayed separately or together. Each one has as its background pivotal locations from each movie. The minimalistic yet still completely recognizable figures of Marty McFly at the bottom of each poster. These screen-printed posters were printed on a limited edition run of 420 (haha) and […]
“Why do we continue to watch this?”
Being the parents of two young girls, J and I have very little time to watch TV. So when we do get the time to catch up on our favorite shows, it is not uncommon for one of us to ask the other, “Why do we continue to watch this show again?” Let me explain. […]
The “Memento” Timeline, Visualized
I was first introduced to the genius of writer and director Christopher Nolan through his 2000 film Memento. A man suffering from anterograde amnesia who must take Polaroids of everything just to get by. An unsolved murder. And two timelines, one playing chronologically while the other presents backwards, eventually meeting in the middle at the end of the […]

‘Star Wars’ + ‘Up’ = WIN

Titled “Someone Who Loves You,” this sweet painting features Up‘s Carl Fredricksen and his wife Ellie as Han and Leia from Star Wars. Prints will be available Tuesday on Hance’s website. Via io9.

Friday Brain Dump (Basketball Edition)
1. Did you know that you can embed Tweets? Just mouseover the tweet I have embedded below. Notice that the tweet is “live,” meaning that all the links (such as the “Follow” button) clickable and functional. So they’re watching Knicks in Taipei but I can’t get the game.#iliveheredammit — Jerry Seinfeld (@JerrySeinfeld) February 16, 2012 […]
Movie Poster Clichés
I do not pay too much attention to movie posters, so it comes as no surprise that I have never noticed these clichés before. I guess that the movie advertising business is similar to other design-related fields in that they know what works, and/or are fresh out of original ideas. Between the legs: Black and […]
Panem’s 13 Districts Visualized [More “Hunger Games” Pr0n]
A fanatical Hunger Games fan by the name of V. Arrow has thoughtfully and carefully put together a map of Panem’s 13 districts, taking into account all historical accounts from the books, and merging what has been revealed about each district with the typography and natural resources of North America.
