Pulp Fiction: The Official Infographic by Noah Smith
Pulp Fiction is a masterpiece of a film... a true originator in the art form of flashback/flashforward story telling. It was the second time Tarantino used that flashback/flashforward format (Reservoir Dogs jumps all over as well) that we often see imitated by many other directors. While the story itself is pretty simple to put together AFTER you watch it (especially as many times as I have seen it!), the true layering of the story is pretty intricate. Cue Noah Smith, a graphic designer and self confessed Tarantino enthusiast, who wanted to create the definitive infographic to properly organize a timeline of the events in the film. The following is so amazing I can't really do it justice with words, so I will direct you to hit after the jump and check out Smith's masterpiece or you will get a visit from Jules Winfield, the Bad Motherfucker above!!!!

The Expendables 2... Starring Nic Cage????
One of the most anticipated films of this summer has to be The Expendables 2, the sequel to teh hard hitting action flick that features every 80s action star that wasn't in the first flick. Between the two movies we are talking some heavy hitters: Stallone, Schwarzenegger, Willis, Statham, Li, Lundren, Norris, JCVD, etc... but how could they leave out the man who makes everything better, Nic Cage??? Digital artist Matheus Candido does his best to remedy that with his version for the most bad ass action team to ever grace the big screen. And just as a hint, he includes everybodies bee hating favorite movie star!!!! Check it out after the jump....

Happy Munn-Day!!!
Another Monday, another Munn-Day!!! What better way to get past the dreary weather outside here in NYC besides looking at some high end fashion photography featuring the sexy little samurai known as Olivia Munn?

These photos come from another magazine I know that none of you are ever going to buy (Audrey magazine???), but thanks to this blog you get to see... enjoy your Asian pear photos and we shall see her again next week!!!!
Game of Thrones Travel Posters by Rogan Josh
Game of Thrones just wrapped up a stellar second season and is riding high on popularity right now. The original book series, 'A Song of Ice & Fire' by George R.R. Martin, is also enjoying a resurgence since people don't want to wait for the next few years to see how the show plays out on HBO. One of the coolest things about a geek property gaining ground and popularity is the sudden girth of creative interpretations of the property. These excellent 70's style travel posters for locations from the Game of Thrones universe is an excellent example of fringe ideas from a mainstream, property that are absolutely awesome. And honestly, I love that Rogan Josh chose some of the lesser known locations in the books/TV series. Well done all around... and even I would want to visit the Pyke & the rest of the Iron Islands based on that poster!!! Check out all three in the series after the jump...
Gravity Falls: Disney Channel's Next Generation Scooby Doo?
Disney channel has been hitting some homers with it's recent programming. All of the Marvel stuff has been killer, and it looks like they are gearing up for another fun summer full of new programming. One of the shows coming up on the docket is Gravity Falls, which seems to be an amalgamation of a few different past shows. This one reminds me of Scooby Doo mixed with Eerie, Indiana (a great show that is available on Netflix... watch this one!!!) which is a great combo if you ask me. Wonderful, just wonderful. One of the best parts of being a parent of a 9 year old is getting to watch these shows without feeling guilty... check out a few of the posters and the trailer for the show after the jump.
Here is the synopsis for the upcoming show:
Twins Dipper and Mabel Pines are less than thrilled when their parents ship them off to live with their great-uncle Stan (Grunkle Stan) in Gravity Falls, Oregon for the summer. They quickly discover that there is something weird going on in Gravity Falls. Now, they must rely on each other to face the mysteries, and surprises, in this strange town.
And here are the posters:
Cosplay Fever: Bon Jovi's 'It's My Life' Sung By Cosplayers May Be The Best Video Ever!!!
Cosplay is not my thing. personally I don't like to get dressed up. But man do I love watching the crowd do it... and I like watching them doing well. I am of the opinion that awesome Cosplayers are the reasons why cons are so great to attend. Sure, some of them are crazy and over the top... and maybe you can't figure out every japanamation character that you see. But there is no denying the fact that a good cosplay outfit is sure to put a smile on any geeks face. So some genius had the bright idea to gather a crew of these cosplayers present at the MCM Expo convention in London and have them sing Bon Jovi's 'It's My Life' while modeling some great costumes. The results may be the best lip sync video ever! the cosplay is great. There is more than enough crazy Anime characters and the usual fare, but there are some very unique costumes in this one... I especially love The Penguin & the Alien xenomorph costume. Killer stuff. Watch the video after the jump...
