Reddit News: Star Wars, Jurassic Park, Lord of the Rings, Die Hard, and More! Dan Koelsch, February 11, 2013 Like many people, I lurk around Reddit during my downtime, and I find some pretty interesting stuff. Sometimes that stuff relates to movies and television, so I feel obligated to share it with our readers. After the break, check out what’s been making the rounds on Reddit recently. Our first entry is over a week old, but I had to include it. It’s the entire Star Wars saga mapped out, and as you might expect, it’s a bit daunting. Click on the image below to see it in full size.

The long journey taken in The Lord of the Rings series has been mapped out in GIF form, as you can see below. [Source]The most popular name in posters right now, Olly Moss, has created a massive poster for the 85th Annual Academy Awards, which includes 85 Oscar statues that reference the movie that won Best Picture for that year. Check it out below. [Source]Last, but not least, a Redditor found some clever outdoor marketing for A Good Day to Die Hard in Norway, as seen below.
