Saul Bass was behind some of the most indelible intro title sequences in movie history. Casino, North By Northwest, Vertigo. He died in 1996, and just a few days ago, Google broke out a Doodle for his birthday. And now here's a pretty damn great nerd tribute on top. Four movie posters for Game of Thrones, in Bass's signature style. Read More >>
Chances are you've got some old video game controllers sitting in your closet somewhere. A good-old PlayStation Dual Shock, maybe a N64 controller, or some Donkey Konga Bongos. And you'll never use them again. So clear out that space and preserve their memory with a comprehensive controller family tree. Read More >>

There was some debate as to whether the shocking trailer with a starship crash landing on Earth was the Enterprise in Star Trek Into Darkness. Tragically, it looks like Kirk's managed to wreck yet another ship, and destroy a city in the process. Read More >>

"The one that hits Alcatraz and Starfleet Academy is NOT the Enterprise though. I imagine two ships will have a bold fight and while the Enterprise is ..." More »
IMAX is the ultimate cinema experience. Forget all that 3D rubbish, it's all about one massive screen with oodles of speakers everywhere. So, of course the IMAX poster for Iron Man 3 has to be even more badass than the rest. Read More >>
Stark may look a tad beat-up in this latest poster, what with a rather battered-looking Iron Man suit, missing a helmet, arm and hand blaster, but the seven flying Iron Men in the background more than make up for it. Does Stark have a whole army of Iron Men at his disposal in Iron Man 3? Read More >>
Film posters are little teasers of what's to come, giving you hints about how the movie's going to play out, but they're normally boring, static things. This is 2013, why can't they be more, well, cool? They can! Here's a sweet-looking moving Star Trek Into Darknessposter to tantalise your geekiness, plus a 'behind the scenes' clip with a bit more footage from the movie. [TotalFilm] Read More >>
Movie posters should be less cliched and more spoiler-y. I don't want to see scantily clad actresses from behind (yes I do), I want to know what's gonna happen in the movie! Like these posters made by designer Matteo Civaschi. They're like movie hieroglyphics—you can actually decipher what the movie is going to be about. Read More >>
Avner Geller has created a series of hilarious posters that are inspired by the type of things you always see in someone's OKCupid profile. Geller based the posters around typical responses to 'you should message me if...', 'on a typical Friday night I'm...' and 'six things I could never do without'. Read More >>
October 26th, Skyfall's release date, is rapidly approaching, so it's about time to start getting those movie posters out there. 007.com's released them for your approval, and let's just say, Skyfall's villain looks like one seriously creepy badass. Read More >>

In an attempt to stop people from queuing up unpopular songs in its public Spotify-powered sound system, the folks at Agency Republic created this interactive wall poster that can be used to easily skip tracks. All you have to do is slap, hit, fire, or throw something at it. Read More >>
Have you noticed that movie studios love to objectify an attractive actress by showing off her assets from behind on movie posters? Emily Asher-Perrin of Tor certainly spotted the trend and put together a convincing case about how awfully cliched it is. Read More >>

Imagine if your favourite films were written and acted during a different period of time: the actors and director would be different, the style it was shot in completely alien. These film posters by Peter Stults are an amazing glimpse into how Hollywood could've been. Read More >>
The London 2012 poster design team has made a rather insensitive error, managing to remove HMS Belfast from one of its promo posters because the ship was "underneath one of the letters in the text." Read More >>

I love this. Someone noticed that movie posters are always the same and collected them to prove it. Some of the design clichés are hilarious, like Tiny People On the Beach With Giant Heads in the Clouds or Legs Wide Spread. Read More >>

To grab our attention, Firebox has been surprising bloggers with a poster (or #tweetportrait as they're calling it), made up of a bunch of their recent tweets. Step back a few paces, and your horrifically-gurning portrait is revealed. Take a look at the one they sent me (affixed above my messy hellhole cubicle). Read More >>
