Having a minor in graphic design always keeps me on my toes when movie posters come out or basically just anything to do with design crosses my path. I love minimalistic fan movie posters. Mixing simplistic design with fun typograhic characters to create a movie poster are the best of both worlds. Patrik Svensson is a Swedish designer who has a taste for good movies and a love for advertising as well. (Sounds familiar). Catch some of his work after the jump to see more awesome posters!

TeeHee: Emma Watson vs Kristen Stewart
Let’s be honest for a minute. I believe this chart is prime evidence against the case of Harry Potter vs Twilight.
Ladies and gentleman of the jury, I rest my case.
PS. Twilight is lame.

Fantastic Disney Princess Cosplayers
I highly admire what lengths people go to fully commit to cosplaying (ex. Jessica Nigri). Not only are these people die-hard fans, but they love what they do and give off such a great vibe of energy. These lovely ladies have got the cosplaying art down to a science. Cinderella, Snow White and Belle are the funniest in this picture, but really this picture is just fabulously epic. Look after the jump for an extra special guest with the lovely Disney Princesses!
J.K. Rowling Reveals Pottermore!
If you thought Ms. Rowling was finished in the wizarding world of Harry Potter than you are sorely mistaken my friends. JoJo has been whipping up an extra batch of HP goodness in her cauldron of secrets. Many had speculated what Pottermore.com could have been, but if you have been living under an Internet rock (since this news was revealed over a week ago) than you might not have known that J.K. Rowling has been developing a free online-reading experience built around the Harry Potter world. Check out the full press release after the jump and watch the official video message from Rowling herself in regards to Pottermore!

Neato: Netflix Sleeves Become Useful Canvases
Believe it or not, as annoying as the Netflix rental sleeves can be, they can also provide you with a canvas of opportunity. Some Netflix subscribers took the liberty of having some fun with their sleeves and slapped their art on them before they returned their movies back to the sweat shop where they keep all the elves stuffing more movie envelopes that get horribly scratched in the process. I mean come on, those DVDs are so badly scratched sometimes, I don’t know how they send them out like that. For shame. I digress, check out some other Netflix sleeve art after the jump!
Neato: Welcome to The Lord of the Rings: Middle-Lego-Earth
These days there is a convention for everything: robots, food, porn, comics, and even furries. Let me take you into the land of BrickWorld where everything LEGO is possible. LEGO is THE toy that allows you to create anything imaginable (see LEGO Sniper Rifle). A group of people put together a massive collaborative effort for this year’s BrickWorld 2011 convention in Wheeling, IL. They brought into fruition almost every element of The Lord of the Rings trilogy and built Middle-Earth brick by brick. It is almost inconceivable how amazing these models are. Chris Phipson wrote about this epic project at MOCpages, a site where you can share your LEGO creations to the world. You can check out a lot of his and other’s collaborative work after the jump!

TeeHee: Evidence That The Dark Knight Rises May Suck
So much anticipation is riding on Christopher Nolan’s next Batman flick that may cause so much overhype that it may suck. Spider-man 3 anybody? With so many villains, actors, and weight of the second film’s amazingness how can the third film stand up to all the pressure? Only time will tell when The Dark Knight Rises is released next Summer!
