• Retro Posters Add Class to Your Favorite Scifi Quotes

    So, you want to show off your love of Star Wars or Forbidden Planet, but your roommate finds movie posters tacky. The Retrofuturs series offers the perfect solution: a witty mash-up of retro images with quotes from science and scifi.

    Retrofuturs, a series by Flickr user hulk4598, places quotes from historical figures and popular entertainment beside retro, monochromatic images, some expected, some less so. The results are posters subtle enough to hang in your living room, but so unusual they're sure to spark conversation.
