We more or less take Wi-Fi connectivity for granted these days, especially with the easy accessibility in public areas, including your local Starbucks. Well, the thing is, there might just be a new method of spreading the goodness of Wi-Fi connectivity in public areas and spaces without missing a beat, and this new innovation is known as the Wi-Fi poster, where it is being shown off in South Korea at this point in time, which could very well point to a new and growing trend that intends to draw Wi-Fi users closer to Hollywood.

The Wi-Fi Poster will work just like it is named, where mobile users will be able to enjoy wireless access whenever they remain in close proximity to a particular movie poster. Creative agency Cheil is the one behind this idea for South Korea film studio CJ Entertainment, where Wi-Fi Posters will make use of the name of the film that is currently being promoted for the Wi-Fi network, and once users are connected, they can check out the associated trailers as well as more details on the movie directly on their respective mobile devices.

If you love DC Comics, and have some spare room on your wall, then listen up! You’re definitely going to want to buy these Justice League posters to fill in that empty space.

This set of five 11″ x 17″ prints from Poster Inspired features cool silhouettes of Flash, Wonder Woman, Superman, Green Lantern and Batman.

Each one is digitally printed on a 250g off-white textured cardstock, and has sort of an aged parchment look to its background. Best of all, the complete set will only cost you $50 (USD). Then add on five cheap black frames, and you’ll have a complete art collection for less than 100 bucks.

Remember that part where I said “if you have spare room?” Well even if you don’t, I think you should clear off a wall for these now.

Here’s a clever eye chart that replaces the letters with silhouettes of various Pokémon. It’s a bit deceptive though, because even if you have perfect vision you can’t catch them all. The bottom ones are more pixel monsters than pocket monsters. Then again the actual poster is 12″ x 18″ so maybe they’re all discernible there.

I bet Brock wouldn’t even be able to see Pikachu. Head to DesignNoy’s Etsy page and pay $12 (USD) to order the Pokémon eye chart.

Mosaic posters made with Lego bricks are a dime a dozen, but this one is different and absolutely awesome: a lenticular poster that makes Batman transform into the Joker as you pass by. And the Brian Bolland’s versions, no less. More »

There are a lot of rare Star Wars collectibles that are worth money, but usually they are toys and costumes and the like. Some obscure items like this 1978 promotional poster you see here are also worth a lot for some reason. The poster shows C-3PO and R2-D2 carrying musical instruments. It basically looks ridiculous, but despite that, it’s expected to sell for between $5,000 and $8,000 at auction.

The poster was created to promote The Star Wars Symphonic Suite by composer John Williams. So why is it worth so much? Well, it’s rare to begin with and it is also signed by George Lucas. Plus it was designed by John Alvin, who made some of the best movie posters ever made like Blade Runner, E.T., and Gremlins for example.

If you have the money and like the poster, now is your chance to own it. Head on over to Paul Fraser Collectibles for more information on the auction.
