Listessessss: Sex and Harry Potter, Getting the girl, Industry secrets, Essential Directors, and Spectacular movies

Another post, another long list of lists and random hits. More originals to occur soon, I hope = /


The 5 Most depraved sex scenes implied by Harry Potter - I knew it! This really makes the HP series more twisted/better than that ridiculously hyper-sexualized Twilight

How to Get the Girl According to Movies. Seriously, "Have feet"??? Ariel was such an easy ho.

6 Things the Film Industry Doesn't Want You to Know About.

The 100 Essential Directors.

25 Spectacular Movies You (probably) Haven't Seen

GeekArt: Kill Bill, Vertigo, Fake Criterion, Final Image

A Kill Bill/Donkey Kong/Mario Bros mash-up tee design from TeeFury.

Concept art/poster for Vertigo. Green, vague, fading, and definitive of the film. Like the Madeline/Carlotta alternative to the original falling man poster.

Two blogs to keep in mind: First, Fake Criterions which creates and uploads redesigned covers of films not unlike that of oh-so fancy The Criterion Collection. While some of them are obvious mockeries of Criterion's attempts to arts-ify and emphasize the importance and seriousness of its films, others are actually designs I much prefer to see than the originals. Always interesting to check up on new additions.

And second: a compilation of final movie images from the blog (surprisingly called) The Final Image. Warning: spoilers may lay ahead for some films.

GeekArt: Harry Potter vs Star Wars; HP/G6 parody "Like It's Quidditch"

Less than 10 days until the US premiere of the last installment of the Harry Potter film series, so obviously the fan art, posters, memorabilia, vids, etc are coming outta the woodwork. I've got my midnight ticket, do you?

GeekArt: Typographic Posters, Alfred Street, and D'oh!Nuts

In this edition of GeekArt, here are some movie posters redone in typography, some using the letters from the titles themselves. The Karate Kid poster being one of my favorites. Simple but witty.

Real Life Version of Pixar's Up house

 

Yeah, that's right. A real life replica of the house from Up.  Here's the link for more pictures.

Movie Geek Evolution

The Droid You Are Looking For has put out a chart defining The Six Stages of Movie Geek Evolution. And yeah, for as witty as it is in mocking the traits of the typical film-goer, its so humorously and painfully all true.

For me at least, I've definitely hit all 6 of these stages. But my one complaint with it is that the stages suggests defining borders between each stage, as if each new stage suggests a complete shedding of the preceding one. But I feel like a little bit of all of these types of cinephilia are part of my overall movie-watching experience. They aren't independent of each other, they complement each other. And I think/hope, that I'm the better for it.

GeekArt: Cyclops, Stay Puft, and X-Muppets

Here's a graphic tee from BustedTees. It's fashionable AND gives further reason to not support 3-D technology - it's racist. Check out a few more geeky artworks ahead.

'Arry Pottah's 1-4: Comix style

What else is there to say? This comic strip pretty much nails down and crams the major plot points in the first 4 parts of the series, in a creative and humorous style. Check out the rest here.

NYC and the movies

Crudely made though it may be, this little piece of artwork makes the film geek in me all giddy inside. With 91 movies that take place in New York depicted in one form or another, I like to play the game of "Name that Movie." There's also a numbered version that shows each film, but not what it is. But that's less fun. Here's what I got on my first shot.
