Minimalism is a movement, especially when it comes to pop culture fan art, be it movie posters, superhero logos, or television show promos. The ability to translate the core concept of a book, movie, show, or idea with the least amount of strokes is captivating.

A Special Report by Agent Ellipsis
On January 3rd, 2017, the Queen of Geek, the marvelous Felicia Day, announced that she is expecting a baby girl in just three weeks. Many of her fans were shocked, and in some comments made on Instagram, a few seemed like they felt downright betrayed (original spelling preserved; usernames kept anonymous):
“I thought you weren’t married?!?!”

Lots of movies come out every year. Some are good, some are bad, some are geeky fan services, but one thing remains the same, year after year: I am always surprised by something being better than I thought and something else being a letdown.
I’m not sure what will happen once the lights dim in the theatre this year, but I know that if it all works out, I’ll be seeing a good portion of these 17 movies in 2017.

Written back in 2001, the jokes, diatribes, and issues that Marc dealt with during the period of time predating this book’s publishing all appear to still hold validity to this day.
